Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever) - Eclipse OST

[beeSides]

No, it's because I like Muse and their new albums and am considered a moron who doesn't like Muse and has invalid opinions because I like BHaR and TR. This forum has become an absolute trainwreck, and I've only been on here for a few months.

:LOL:

it was a trainwreck LOOONG before that

 

Here's your cake.

where?

i see no cake.

 

 

Who even said 'RIP Muse' ?

 

arman...like 20 pages ago

[Suvi]

It's my sig

oh.. the colour just isn't striking enough.

[naomithegreat]

Wow, you really are a pathetic troll.

Yes, this forum has been a trainwreck since I joined (and I'm sure looooong before that).

 

THE CAKE IS A LIE!!

[LyraSilvertongue]

I can't keep up with this thread

Cheesy lyrics aside, I like the song so far. I'm sure I'll like it more when I've heard the whole thing.

[OneWhoGoes]

 

Yeah, yawn, they can't be stuck in OOS forever, if you want OOS listen to OOS, etc. But all that doesn't avoid them being as crap as they are now.

[Lauren.]

It has gone rather off topic

 

[sparkle19]

I think someone said Muse were dead to them, which is a bit harsh. It's an over the top way of saying 'I no longer feel they are my favourite band' or something. I don't know, i'm not always right.

 

Ahh right. Yea that's harsh.

THE CAKE IS A LIE!!

 

Traiwreck really started when SMBH came out and then carried on through the Black Holes era as thus:

 

1. The ressurection of Feeling Good as a live song

2. The butchering of Assassin from the popular 2005 live version

3. Not changing up the setlist (LOL, they changed it every night in the UK back then)

4. Releasing Invincible as a single

5. People getting really bored of Starlight

maybe we should count the date that matt crashed the site as the official forum trainwreck date

 

THE CAKE IS A LIE!!

 

 

bitch!

 

 

no cake?

 

:'(

I said the forum, not the band

 

But yes, changing up the setlist (though I can't complain because I got RBS and Bliss ) is something they should really start doing again.

[TrebleRose689]

This thread is getting beyond ridonkulous (yes, I just used that word)

 

And yet... I can't look away! This is just too entertaining.

[Trilateral_Symmetry_Com'n.]

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.

LOLOL.

It's like weird cheesy crap.

But I like it. Somehow. I don't know how. Don't ask me.

Oh wow, you just wrote that analysis of a 30 second preview clip?
