Survival - Official 2012 London Olympics Song

[Gareeh]

I'm surprised nobody's noticed, but at 3:42 in Survival, Matt's ghostly, wailing falsetto can be heard. Does anyone know just how high the note is that he's hitting? It sound pretty darn high.

 

I noticed it on the first listen, it's the same as the first verse live for Knights of Cydonia

[Tesseract]

He just sings it in his normal falsetto instead of the funny female opera voice he uses at the end if you get my drift

 

 

I think that final note is the funniest thing I've heard in a Muse song. I actually thought it was one of the female choir members at first.

Same it's perfect. I think he sings it an octave lower too yeh? So again, doubt he wil sing it live

[Hat]

Uhm, it's in the studio version too.

 

And to anyone who thinks it's an octave higher than the ending falsetto, this is a G#6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_20WUXGjWKo&t=1m30s

what do you mean?

I agree with you, but I still think it's an octave higher, it's really hard to hear that, but there's a difference

(we're talking about 3:42 to 3:48 right?)

Listen to my clip above. There is no way in hell that it's a G#6. That there's a difference is because he sings the note differently. Doesn't mean it's an octave higher. Do you realise how much an octave is?

Yeah I do, but I just listened back to it 10 times, and I'm still convinced it's an octave higher

I love that bit. So funny, but actually very cool as well. Made me feel quite proud.

It's probably the single moment in a Muse song that makes me the most embarrassed of being a Muse fan

[mysticism]

I take all what I said back, it's the same note:facepalm:

 

It's like the xylophone in the final chorus of Hysteria all over again

[Hat]

Yeah I do, but I just listened back to it 10 times, and I'm still convinced it's an octave higher

Well you are wrong.

 

Try comparing it to the ending note of Showbiz.

what do you mean?

 

The last note, he sings two notes at once?

Edit: we'll obviously not at once, recorded himself twice

[mysticism]

The first time I heard it on BBC Radio 1 I couldn't stop laughing for a while:LOL:

Matt can sing 2 notes at once;)

[CarrieB]

Why?

[Hat]

The last note, he sings two notes at once?

Hmm nope, just one voice+choir in the last note. And if there would be another voice, it's the same octave.

Why?

Because it's horrible

[CarrieB]

Same here! I was laughing all the way through, but in a good way. I love their guts! It takes guts to be ridiculous.

[CarrieB]

Hmm nope, just one voice+choir in the last note. And if there would be another voice, it's the same octave.

Nah, it's great!

[Hopix]

It is a bit tbh. It's like "Oh christ, why did you have to do that Matt?"

[CarrieB]

Because he can! I would be surprised if he is brave enough to do it live though.

Sounds like two to me but there's an awful lot going on at that point so my mind making things up

[FabriPav]

Again: if the song didn't have that last note, it would have been way better. It's still great though.

[Hat]

Again: if the song didn't have that last note, it would have been way better. It's still great though.

Matt doing a chest note an octave lower(G#4) would have been sooo much better. And he could have done it live to make up for the Bb4 earlier in the song that he will most certainly avoid.

Whereas for me it's the cherry on the cake. I wonder where it will go without that last note.
