a-museing Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 So is the song itself being released as a single in it's own right on the 17th or do they mean the soundtrack is being released on the 17th? Or both? The song is released on the 17th. Sondtrack is being released on the 8th of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Thanks everyone! Well that presumably means it'll be played on the music channels/radio any day now then?? Or would they wait until the day of release I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkle19 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Not really fussed anymore, it's their career, they can chose to promote themselves however they like. If the song's good then yay, if it's shit, then I'll get over it Im sure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I Belong to You was written for The Resistance. It was then 'remixed' for New Moon. And Dom didn't specifically say for the next album. He said they might release it as a standalone single aswell. They were probably considering releasing it as a stand alone single when things fell through with Eclipse, but now it's back on, there's no reason for them to release it separately. It sounds to me that it is a song they are very pleased with, or else they would have left it for the next album, so I think it's going to be good!

L. Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 What exactly does it represent though? Matt's always said that he want's to do work for film soundtracks. Lots of other credible artists do it all the time. Okay the following is only my personal opinion: Songs and music have been used to enhance a film and convey the atmosphere of certain scene: the most important on the soundtrack makes it onto the album soundtrack as a collection of what was used. That I have no issue with. But once you start having lead single (My Heart Will Go, Decode, etc...) it's not about about music anymore for me, it's just about becoming a marketing tool to gross money. I never thought Muse would agree to become the marketing tool of a franchise which in my opinion is what they are becoming. Apart from James Bond where the opening credit song is pretty much an institution and a tradition that goes back 3 decades, the rest of films that used the lead single marketing strategy are pretty much commercial franchise just out to make money.

jackparker Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 ...? I Belong To You was written for The Resistance, not Twilight. I also challenge you to find a band who have written a song specifically for a soundtrack and then included it on their next album. It very very very rarely happens. I'd also be incredibly suprised if the sound/direction/vibe of Neutron Star Collision chimes with where Muse are in two/three years time when album #6 is being written/recorded. I FOUND ONE! Paramore song decode was made for the soundtrack of twilight and then they included on the international version of their next album as a bonus track. still officially counts as being on the album!

29pearls Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I’m not down with the Twilight hate. What it boils down to is that Twilight has nothing to do with my enjoyment of Muse. I didn’t first hear about Muse through any Twilight connection, and I haven’t read any of the books or seen any of the movies. Just doesn’t interest me. OK, maybe I could do without seeing RPatt’s face all over. But I don’t care about whether the new song is in any movie; I care about whether the song is good or not. End.of.story. And don’t count out that it won't be on a future album. I’m pretty sure I saw/heard an interview where Matt (or Chris?) said that since albums aren’t selling anymore, they plan on releasing random singles along the way, “see which ones stick” (I do remember that exact phrase), and then have a greatest hits album when they have enough of them.

Obi Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Come on Muse. I'm gonna hold on to a glimmer of hope that this song might be okay. Calling it Love is Forever and leading Eclipse with it isn't promising, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louhi Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 How about listening to the song first and then deciding if you still want to be Muse fans or not? It can be a good song. It is possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I can't see Muse recovering. I've not listened to Muse in a few months now but it's upsetting. I don't want to see them go the same way as so many other bands I've loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trilateral_Symmetry_Com'n. Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I can't wait to hear it, but I already like the title -- another cheesy, overblown astronomical metaphor for human relationships, a la SmBH, only this time there's a bonus -- the song title acronmym also refers to one of the USA's scarier and most-secretive security agencies. That's probably nothing more than pure coincidence, but coming on the heels of "MK Ultra," who knows? There just might be a political reference or even a secondary theme buried in there somewhere...
