MuseRLegend Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 uhh...how long have you been a Muse fan? far as I know, there are PLENTY of people who know about Muse; they aren't a random English band, either. Well Im sorry. Im from the UK, and until The Resistance was released no one at my school knew who muse where (except that I kept ranting on and throwing random facts at them non stop). Maybe its different in the USA. the point is, meyer dedicated a book to them. i dont have to like either the books or the film to say i respect her as a muser.

Furygirl Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 What did I miss? A very in-depth deconstruction of the 30 sec. clip. Well, it is thoughtful.... Well, from what I can tell from a 30-second preview, it's: briskly uptempo, but still sounds more like rock than synth-driven or electronica-tinged pop; driven by an emotionally-charged chorus anchored by an upwards fourth interval (which one teacher I've had described as the most emotionally-charged of all musical intervals); not entirely cheesy -- the love theme is too ambiguously expressed to be written off as pure cheesiness. Although the lyrics express a positive conviction and certainty, musically the song hints at darker emotions. The reliance on that yearning 4th interval sounds more plaintive than joyous, the bassline is sounds downright ominous, and the lyrics fatalistically embrace the lovers' death (but at least they'll die together). Okay, that last part is pretty cheesy. But musically, there's a bit more going on...; beefed up by what sounds like a truly original (if essentially rhythmic) piano part that slots into the chorus, at least, alongside the minimal guitar part and much more substantial bassline. (The piano chords essentially carry through the melodicism of the bassline; I wonder if an earlier version of this had a more elaborate or fussier bassline, which they decided to break up and divide amongst the two instruments.) This marks something of a departure for Matt's keyboard lines, which are often basically solos (or at least, don't compete directly with a guitar part). What's more, it's original and rock/pop oriented -- not just another cribbing of Rachmaninoff or Chopin -- good news, in my book! This is also significant re. their live shows: athough I'm confident Matt played the original part for the recording, it'll fall to Morgan to play it live. One more keyboard song for Morgan, then! And, finally... lyrics which, if standard love-ballad stuff, at least make sense and scan well, and Matt sings them in a conventional rock style (i.e., without drawing out every syllable in an operatic mode). Whether this is good or bad is a matter of taste; as for myself, so long as Muse keeps performing some of their older songs with that operatic style, I'm fine with it. All in all, it's not bad! I think I'll rather like this one... at least they've avoided falling into the sludgy mid-tempo trap that ruins so many rock songs (for me, anyway). On balance, most of Muse's relationship-themed songs are sour or bitter, with relatively few straight-up happy or optimistic love songs, so there should be allowances made for a few songs such as this, especially given its complexity and emotional ambiguity. And kudos to Matt for being able to write a more-or-less conventional love song when his personal life and frame of mind were probably not ideally situated to inspire such an effort.

cornfellow Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 The song preview is bland, uninspired, and lacks any musical genious which is typical from muse. I'm sure they could have written this song (music + lyrics) in about an hour or so. At least the songs on resistance show depth and thought (even the 30 second previews). Unfortunately this sounds exactly like a song that a band puts out on their "next album" after their "previous album" had a bunch of hits played on the radio. The follow up stuff is written like a formula for the radio and for popularity. Sad times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The follow up stuff is written like a formula for the radio and for popularity. Sad times. I liked it, but can definitely see how it is slightly disappointing for Muse. But we have to remember that its written for Twilight, and Twilight epitomises everything you just mentioned. It's not on a proper album, so I don't think we should get too hung up on it if it isn't as brain-explodingly good as their other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xuwang Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 hum, is it just me or it reminded me a bit of the killers? anyway I just hope that they don't add scenes from the film to the videoclip. it's a cool song but nothing new. it's something you would expect for something like twilight, something that they know that is easy to listen and everyone will like. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
