Niall Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 So, who's gonna be doing the 'THERE CAN ONLY BE ONEEEE!' bit? The meet ups will do that bit I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMMAlovesMUSE Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hey do you know how far Matt actually goes in CD? It doesn't sound like he goes all the way to the end, i may be wrong No idea, i think just a listen and predict thing i suppose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangjps14 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 No idea, i think just a listen and predict thing i suppose? haha sounds good. It really shouldn't take more than a couple minutes to figure it out. Looking at the times on the mp3, he only does about the first 2 minutes, just figured that out... coolio. Well, I'll be sure to get right on learning that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 So what do people think of this? Aberystwyth would be great too by the way. I'm one quarter Aberystwythian and I have a lot of good freinds going to uni there so I'm all up for including that. Maybe in the castle or the err... train type thing that goes up the hill, that would be pretty funny. For the "There can be only one!" I think we're having the groups do that for epicness. For the covers we'll have clips of people playing the sintrumentals probably spliced with video from the meet ups doing whatever. Something interesting or artistic.

shining_dark Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'd love to play the piano for Collateral Damage I have the music as well, so I'll start learning it I'll do a take singing as well on that backing track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustangjps14 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Added to the list oh, there's a list? Well in that case I'd like to be added for CD piano also, please! starting to learn right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber Harris Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Sorry if I seem a bit thick, but are we going to be recording ourselves singing the whole track and then a designated editor picks the best bit? Or are we just miming? If its singing, me and my friend might be able to do the Queen bit acappella stylee. Although I am going on holiday next week, so it may not be do able...

Graceful Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 This is a fantastic idea! I'm all for it! I'd like to claim one of the words at the start of the song when the time comes to do that... unless there's someone who's better at it than me (very likely ) ...could we listen to the song as we sing it? Like, on an iPod? That might help people like me sing in key a little more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done already You'll need to talk to lalaive and endlessly_blissed too as they called first but it would be great if we could get loads of people involved in it.

mikethemuse Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 From reading through these 12 pages, I think this is who is singing what... "oooooh" prior to actual singing - o0ocroinao0o (as well as line one, depends if anyone else fancies it I guess?) line one - richard misiak/o0ocroinao0o But we know that whoever holds the reigns - HagBR nothing will change - allypap our cause has gone insane - mikethemuse and these wars, they can't be won - bloodymaryiii There can be only one - rossg + fellow fans Must we do as we're told - shelbmuse09 toooooooooold - myridean/amiabledawrf You and me fall in line, to be punished for unproven crimes - lalalive to be punished for unproven crimes - _Bliss_ something second verse - Garseys heroes - mushroom bomb "teww" dust - Wazlib they begun - the aurora Does anyone know or care how they begun - Screwdriver (1st/2nd) States - brian KEEEEM (2nd) United States - Liz0_o United States of - Bib 2nd instrumental - srsly whole song (then pick something out) - Space Dementor laughing children during CD - MrPowell Jet sounds and CD moaning - Russell A Put the lyrics below, so we can see which are taken/sort of taken/available Blue - Single Word is taken Red - Line is being sung (so more people can claim it if I'm right?) No colour - available You and me are the same We don't know or care who's to blame But we know that whoever holds the reins Nothing will change Our cause has gone insane And these wars, they can't be won And these wars, they can't be won And do you want them to go on And on and on Why split these states When there can be only one? And must we do as we're told? Must we do as we're told? You and me fall in line To be punished for unproven crimes! And we know that there is no one we can trust; Our ancient heroes, they are turning to dust! And these wars, they can't be won Does anyone know or care how they begun? They just promise to go on And on and on But soon we will see There can be only one United States! United States! (brian KEEEEM wishes to sing one of the "states", so one of these is still available) Of... Eurasia! ...sia! ...sia! ...sia! Eurasia! ...sia! ...sia! ...sia! Eurasia! ...sia! ...sia! ...sia! Note: This is not a guarentee of what people will sing, just a place to show what you would LIKE to sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikethemuse Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I changed mine from first verse to "our cause has gone insane"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohopeinfear Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 OK just reading the lyrics and I count roughly 130-150 words. The more people involved in this the better. And remember guys if you're filming yourselves please do NOT have the song playing in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadi Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 So as you may have seen in the other thread we've decided to find a way to thank Muse, Muse management, and Splendid (Muse's web designers) for coming up with such an awesome and inventive way of releasing and promoting United States of Eurasia. And also cause it'll be fun. And everyone can get involved no matter where you live, as long as you can record and upload a video! The idea is this. We'll all record videos of us (badly) singing a few lines from United States of Eurasia and edit one word from each line together into one video of us singing the whole song. Basically, eahc person will sing a few words scattered thoughout the song. Kinda like Feeder's Just a Day video. These videos can just be of you with a big thank you sign or doing something treasure hunt related. It would be great if we could get one or two of the lucky people who got a USB key to appear too. What would also be good is if we could get some pianists to play Collateral Damage for the end. Hopefully we can have one group meeting in London to sing the "Sia!" bits at various landmarks related to wars, conflict and politics. If anyone else in any major cities can amass enough musers together to do similar that would be fantastic. But we want everyone who enjoyed the treasure hunt to get involved and submit videos. The tentative plan is to have all the videos uploaded to YouTube where nohopeinfear will rip them from and edit the final video tgoether. One enough people have expressed interesting we'll get the lyrics up and people can take picks of what words they want, or be assigned whatever is left over. Deadline for finishing will be arounf or soon after 12th August because that's the day I leave the UK for three weeks! In the end we'll get the video to Muse and the management one way or another! This post will of course be constantly updated with the latest details so check back here for info! Instrumental backing Most of the vocals have been removed from this version, so use this as a backing when the time comes. Video Editing nohopeinfear mapoftheglorious sss London "Sia!" meet :: Join this group Niall EMMAlovesMUSE Zed super_massive_muse Citizen Erased Stephanie Kaoss mittendorfer PoisonMeteor bazzer ophelia1971 Los Angeles "Sia!" meet :: PM Liz0_o and join this group Liz0_o + friends Blaz brian KEEEEM Potential meets in Sydney AU, Moscow RU, Beja PT, Stockholm SE, Birmingham GB, Aberystwyth GB...if you're interested make yourself known and we'll set those up too If someone in each of these cities could set up the groups that would be great. Let me know and I'll get it all added here. There's alot of potential locations so not all will get full "Sia's" to themselves since we only have 12 to go round but we will have multiscreen type effects so should be able to fit you all in there Would like meets in New York City and Washington, DC if possible. Or in any Treasure Hunt cities. +Collateral Damage covers Not sure how this will work but we definitely have the following involved endlessly_blissed (piano) lalalive (violin) Also interested: Raining_Muses (piano and violin) mustangjps14 (piano) shining_dark (piano) Not sure how you want to sort it out or how we can have multiple people contributing but the more the better in my opinion. I'll need to know what the editors feel they are capableof with multiple +CD submissions, let me know Words Instructions on how to call words for yourself will be announced soon. If you have already called a word, please evidence this when you submit! You can record a silent video if you want for instrumental parts. Videos Details on how, when, what and where to upload will be announced soon Happy to join in the chorus in london! when r we doing this?? piano playing a bit rusty....

allypap Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 From reading through these 12 pages, I think this is who is singing what... United States of - Bib Must we do as we're told - shelbmuse09 "teww" dust - Wazlib Does anyone know or care how the begun (remember, it's only one word each ) - Screwdriver (2nd) United States - Liz0_o (1st/2nd) States - brian KEEEEM But we know that whoever holds the reigns - HagBR toooooooooold - myridean/amiabledawrf they begun - the aurora line one - richard misiak/o0ocroinao0o something second verse - Garseys 2nd instrumental - srsly heroes - mushroom bomb whole song (then pick something out) - Space Dementor our cause has gone insane (then pick something out) - mikethemuse to be punished for unproven crimes - _Bliss_ You and me fall in line, to be punished for unproven crimes - lalalive laughing children during CD - MrPowell I said I'd sing "but we know that whoever holds the reins, nothing will change, our cause has gone insane", so obv. the bits in bold are still available for me to sing, no? Personally, I think it might be a bit too stop/start if we do a word at a time, but a line at a time, or a few words would flow a bit better IMO. In which case, I'd like to do nothing will change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allypap Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Ooh, also just created the Brum group : http://board.muse.mu/group.php?groupid=268 , so if anyone's in the midlands and wants to join in, join the group and we'll start planning! I'd make one for Aberystwyth aswell, but I'm not sure there's many people from around there on here, so unless I've misunderestimated () the amount of welsh Musers, I'll leave that for now. I might make a FB group, though, and i will definately make a FB group for the Brum one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And endlessly_blissed and I follow each other on twitter, we can talk there! Oooh, this is so exciting!!!! Also, just went downstairs to begin learning on my electric keyboard (do I don't wake up my parents;) ) and one of the preset songs on there is *Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2* ! AND it shows on the screen which keys to hit when! It's official, God loves muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
