Survival - Official 2012 London Olympics Song

[Seaking]

Plus it's going to be the staple for closing before the encore. So predictability rating is out of the question.

 

This.

[WutDaFucksy]

Survival could work almost anywhere really, it would be cool if they shuffled it, KoC and occassionally Take A Bow as closing the show though

[FabriPav]

But still having it closing the main set keeps it "fresher" instead of having it closing the full gig.

[Gareeh]

Take a Bow, Stockholm, Survival, KoC and maybe even New Born. Wouldn't mind a bit of rotation there but it will never happen.

Unnatural Selection also worked. Bliss was good closer too (although I wouldn't count on it).

[Mr. ORANGE]

Has anyone ever thought of Plug in Baby as a closer ? But I'd vote for Stockholm Syndrome - but that's past...So I'd say Supremacy with riffage ending (like Abso tour) or Survival with riffage - both has drop tuning, so it's perfect for nowadays Muse metal influenced riffage (I liked BHaR and Abso riffs more - and they could incorporate Dead Star, Micro Cuts, Space Dementia etc. riffs and stop playing other bands )...

I really liked riffage ending or riffage ending + a song with a definite closure (like SS + Take a bow, or Survival too...)...

Survival would be also a good opener - it was great to open with piano and then guitar song - like New Born at Reading/Leeds...With prelude played as an intro it would be great...

[Bumpypotato]

Seriously, should they close a gig with the same song FOR THREE FUCKING TOURS? C'mon.

 

Better then ending with Survival.

[kueller]

I'd actually like to see them shuffle the closer. I don't mind Survival that much. But maybe alternate between Take A Bow, Stockholm Syndrome, Isolated System if they can do some crazy effect stuff to end, maybe even Knights.

[FabriPav]

This song has grown so much in the last days. I love it now.

[Lnx]

I'm quite curious how people find Survival's falsetto 'I'm gonna win' embarrassing but the one in Supremacy is amazing (etc.) for most.

Because they sound quite different?

[Hat]

http://picosong.com/wUr8/ I mean isn't it just painfully obvious?

Well done missing the point.

[Strangeseas]

Well done painfully missing the point.

 

 

Survival is one of my favorite tracks from T2L. (Survival > Supremacy)

[Hat]

Well done missing the point.

Oh really?

[Bumpypotato]

Oh really?

 

Yes, really.

[Hat]

Yes, really.

That's your queue to explain what I misunderstood.

[Tesseract]

I don't see how Sippe missed the point, they do sound completely different.

[serpentsatellite]

It's not the falsetto I find "embarassing" in Survival. It's the fact that he's singing "I'm gonna win" that I find a tad uncomfortable...

[Museic Syndrome]

It's not the falsetto I find "embarassing" in Survival. It's the whole song.

 

Fixed.

[Hat]

It's not the falsetto I find "embarassing" in Survival. It's the fact that he's singing "I'm gonna win" that I find a tad uncomfortable...

Yeah but most people have only found a problem with the last time he sung it, not the two previous times.

[Anxyous]

One of the best of the album.

[Mr. ORANGE]

Because the Survival's has "wee" in it and people are scared, they won't control their body fluids during that one...

 

Yes, I'm gonna weeeeeeeeeen...Oh, boy...

 

And for the record i dig both of them and both are my favourite songs from T2L...

[Hopix]

It's essentially cus the "I'm gunna win" one sounds a bit like a camp musical.

Yeah, I don't find it embarrassing at all. I think it's brilliant because it is ridiculous and just well, I think it's cool because it's kind of paradoxical, challenging. To me there is a bit of a kind of "fuck you" resistance in there. I'm sure the intention was to sound ridiculous. But I'm not sure whether the resistance element was intentional. That may be only my interpretation.

 

Funny enough the falsetto in Supremacy doesn't actually sound too different to me in pitch or tone but, of course, doesn't sound camp at all.
