dead-duck Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 In terms of it being for the band, is it really a big single or is it just a big single for a big movie? The next big single will be from The Resistance, not from the Twilight soundtrack. I'm not sure I see the distinction you're drawing. I don't know how it all works, but I would think for business purposes they wouldn't release two singles close together, so I figure this is it for now and if we see another single from TR it probably won't be until the fall. And that'll be a year after the album's release, so I'm not sure we'll get another proper TR single. This week we're getting this song on radio, a download from this site (complete with pre-order) and a video. It got a special premiere as the new Muse song with an interview w/Matt on Radio1 and was followed shortly after by a Dom interview and "first play" on XFM. It looks like the band considers this their next big single..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatchaoskills Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Good song, for the most parts. Some is iffy, but it has quite the TR vibe to it (no duh, right?). It'll take me awhile to warm up to it and listen to it frequently, but I'll get there. For the most part, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee03 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I <3 It. +132131221413431431424234134421 EDIT; I should actually put some points in this post. Outro - I love it. Even though it's kind of random, but yeah, I'm liking. First verse - Not such a huge fan, it's a bit.. eh for me compared to the rest of the track. The rest - absolute CHEESE the lyrics are but I still love it, considering I didn't have the highest of hopes for it I want to see the whole vid now.

UnintendedFan Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 haha :LOL: i slipped in Showbiz and was it felt so new again after NSC.... even though i love nsc I went to my youtube playlist of 2000 and 2001 Muse videos to fall in love (fall in awe) all over again. Must say though reading the lyrics and putting them in Matt's stated context, add to the vocals and instrumentals under headphones - I am beginning to grow warmer to NSC. Enjoy reading everyone's take on it. Is there a poll for the song yet? There was one for the clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamuscasio Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 the overall lyrics are not that cheesy afterall.

Granted, I have my love/hate relationship with the series (I hate that I love it because it's crap), but that statement is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only person who finds the snowflakes part beautiful??? I mean, have you ever seen snowflakes fall into the ocean? It's beautiful and mind numbing, especially if you take in the surrounding environment. After finding out this song was about Matt falling in love with his ex-girlfriend the lyric, "they'll dissipate like snowflakes in the ocean", stood out even more. This song is about love and how bittersweet it is (or at least that is how I interpret it), just like how the imagery that the line brings is frigidly beautiful. The lyrics to this song are not cheesy... just because he exaggerates the lyrics with his voice and that the words are actually audible, doesn't mean the song is dreadfully cheesy. There are other countless emotions that are interconnected with love, maybe that's why the song is a mash up of a lot of different styles. Matt wrote this looking back at his relationship, when people tend to reminisce they usually tend to exaggerate as well. I also don't think the piano part is odd at the end. I probably sound like idiot, but the ending to the song sounded like a sigh to the end of meaningful thought. That piano ending completes the song entirely. Sorry, my reply is just a whole bunch of random thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halvies Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Thoroughly dislike it at this stage. Lyrics are poor and the only redeeming parts are musical part of the chorus, the solo (only just) and the drumming. Piano's not bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Terious Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 After a few listens, it still does nothing to me. I don't like it. The chorus is catchy, but not in the good way. (The bad way is when a Ke$ha song is stuck in your head and you really want to get it out). The lyrics are bad and cheesy, the second verse is horrible... I think I'm just gonna edit the song and cut out of it the piano outro and put it on my ipod. It's the only good thing there. I'm going to bury myself in a dark cave now.

Yay! Someone agrees! The second chorus is amazing as well! It's like that feeling when you are absolutely in love with somebody and you don't know how to control it. Joining your randomness: Yup I am from WA! April was full of Win! Too bad I can't see them during the fall tour. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
