Niall Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think this Bings heartbeat is a little too much... I think it's a bit weird. Recording the heart beat of your son for millions of people to hear as music. But I'll reserve judgement until I hear it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannahG123 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 It's a heartbeat, not a cry or a hiccup or something. I think it sounds pretty cool he's not going to look back in 10 years time and go oh dad how embarrassing my heartbeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevermusic Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Much worse for the kid on the cover of Nevermind. Aye - surely it's more embarassing to have your baby dick on an album cover than your heartbeat in a song. Even the one on the debut of Placebo got a lot of problems for being in the cover I red somewhere he's sueing Placebo over the use of him on that cover, "claiming the picture led him to be bullied, drop out of school and become unemployed" Madness.

serpentsatellite Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 We haven't had the album cover yet... Please lord, have the album cover not embarass me at checkout... That is one of the worst feelings ever... when checkout girls judge my purchases. Not that there's anything wrong with being a checkout girl. Completely respectable profession. They just get judgmental sometimes... The heartbeat thing is either really cool, really sappy, or really wierd. And, I guess with Muse it's usually all three.

I always thought it was Brian in the cover... I never looked close though. Nahh, I doubt the cover will be something embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Wells Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think the whole heartbeat thing will be really cool... Right now, I'm imagining it to start off really distant, then come in slowly, into an orchestral bit, with soft drums, and it'll create a song like Blackout... I'm getting excited just imagining it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord MFC Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Or with loads of reverb and bassy EQ so it's almost tribal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think the issue with Matt using his own baby's heartbeat is that it was probably unnecessary for the authenticity of the song. I imagine the sound of a baby's heartbeat is much of a muchness. That makes it seem a bit over indulgent. But, oh well, sentimentality and all that. I think I can understand why, if I put myself in his shoes. Every parent thinks their own baby is the most special ever. What better way to try and bottle that feeling, it if you are a musician, than in a song. I doubt it would give the child any issues later on.

Maybe, could work, but then it might actually be used as a sort of drum, and it'll sound like UD haha... It'll probably be really epic and cinematic though.

Chryse Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think the use of his son's heartbeat in a song is quite touching, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 "Muse's most diverse album yet" isn't what I wanted to read. Was hoping for something a little more consistent. Still, looking forward to hearing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper_chondriac_muser Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Sooooo fecking excited to hear Chris's songs. I can't believe for the first time ever someone other than Matt is writing and singing their songs! It's gonna be really weird, but ultimately awesome cos that's what Chris is to the core ! The article made me really excited to hear it, especially cos the boys seem quite hyped when they were talking about the songs and how this album is something even more different to anything else we've heard from them. I think it will be a huge surprise to many, many fans on first listen: kinda like what happened when we first heard the trailer with Unsustainable . It's a good thing, of course, but will take getting used to before everyone makes a settled decision on what they think of it. CANNY WAIT!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Okay I can see that, but I'm personally more for appreciating music for what it is, and the meaning and atmosphere of it rather than worrying about whether it keeps the energy of a gig going. Undisclosed Desires might not have been an energetic track, incidentally, but I could still appreciate the atmosphere it produced. I'm not adverse to a chillout section mid gig. THIS!

Blype Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Matt wanted to do it with Chris's babies, but his wife objected Really? Since it was mentioned in the interview, I wondered whether Chris had ever wanted to do something like that. And Matt isn't the first person to do it. Miracle by The Temper Trap has heartbeats in it, of an unborn child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
