Survival - Official 2012 London Olympics Song

[muse maniac]

And if they did play it once, is it really going to kill you? Also, they just cut bits out of the song, that's really not hard to do.

 

No, it won't kill me, but it's very anti climatic and it's no where near as good as the full song. If everybody watching the Olympics are going to listen to it, I'd rather them hear a better version.

What makes the BBC edit anti-climatic?

I don't understand why you care so much

[muse maniac]

I don't understand why you care so much

 

I don't really, it's just quite annoying that they cut some of the best bits of the song.

 

Don't you agree that we want muse represented in the best possible way to the world?

[Hat]

What did they cut out that was so good.

[muse maniac]

They cut out the best riff. The song starts to build on something and then skips the climax of that build u. Maybe it's just because all my favorite bits of the song are cut.

[Anxyous]

Well it's likely that that version will be played at the Olympics. Just when your getting into a part of the song they skip it and it's really annoying.

 

Just don't watch it.

 

It's not that hard.

[FabriPav]

Your username really makes you justice, yes.

 

I actually think it's cut really well, they did a good job.

[Hat]

I didn't even think about it until you guys mentioned it.

[Alec Ferris]

DiS' blurb about it during their singles piece this week made me chuckle. Sounds like Delphic and Chemical Brothers' efforts are also pretty good.

[muse maniac]

OK, I miss the end of the prelude and the end of the final riff, but whatever floats your boat.

 

That's all.

[Alec Ferris]

That would be EPIC

 

Heeell yeah. Well, given that at Reading they wheeled out a set that they said they'd dreamed up while making Origin, I would be surprised if they forgot an idea they'd had two years ago.

[Raiga Kagekami]

I only have a problem with the last part when the choir suddenly kicks in (as in the video version).

[Anxyous]

OK, I miss the end of the prelude and the end of the final riff, but whatever floats your boat.

 

That's all.

 

The prelude isn't a part of the single.

[muse maniac]

The prelude isn't a part of the single.

 

It's still in the video.

[Peter.]

The prelude isn't a part of the single.

 

i think it should be. the clipping piano is a shit way to begin the song

[Clunge]

It's still in the video.

And? Doesn't make Prelude part of Survival .

[Jobby]

How on earth is 'Very Good' the most popular poll result so far!?

 

I know, right? Opinions are stupid.

[serpentsatellite]

The song grows on you.

 

And, I have faith since Matt himself called Survial the most over the top thing on the album (and maybe that they've ever done) and even called it a little "silly"...

[muse maniac]

And? Doesn't make Prelude part of Survival .

 

But we were talking about the video. The official Olympic video for survival has it in, thus will likely be played. I don't see the relevance of your point.

[Creamy_Peaches]

He also said that Survival has 'nothing' compared to the groove on other tracks

[Jobby]

Well that was unnecessarily defensive. Call me crazy, but I fail to believe many Muse fans would rate this song so highly if it wasn't by Muse

 

I didn't have anything to defend was just mocking what seemed to be a pretty narrow view on people's thoughts on the song.

 

You clearly haven't read through the thread then, plenty of people have given legit reasons for liking and disliking the song. There's been a pretty minimal amount of fanboy/girling.

[FabriPav]

Well that was unnecessarily defensive. Call me crazy, but I fail to believe many Muse fans would rate this song so highly if it wasn't by Muse

 

Incredible, right? People actually like the song

[kueller]

I'd say there's a big group of people that despise this song. But obviously they don't even bother discussing about it on MM (I wouldn't)

[Anxyous]

i think it should be. the clipping piano is a shit way to begin the song

 

Just don't listen to the song without Prelude first.
