Yesterday, the new song by Muse came out; Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever). Now, I'm not particularly ecstatic about the Twilight saga thing that Muse have going on, but I can't say no to a new Muse track so I went straight to the Muse website and downloaded it. I wasn't expecting much...
But I was pleasantly surprised. The song is cheesy, granted. I mean, Matthew Bellamy singing "LOVE! IS FOREEEVVVEEEEEEERR! AND IF WE DIE! WE DIE TOGEEETHEEERRRRR!" with full on conviction and gusto is hard to take seriously. And it could do with some more classic muse "unf". But it works. It fits with the cheesy, glam rock route that they're taking lately and, you know what, it could have been far worse. If you can block out the litte voice that sits in the back of your head shouting "IT'S FOR THAT STUPID TWILIGHT MOVIE, DON'T FORGET!!! MUST NOT BE TRUSTED!" then it's a perfectly decent song. Not terrible, not blinding. And the musicality of it is really quite good too. The synths are cool, and I like the drums. They, along with the bass, kinda remind me of Knights of Cydonia. The guitar in it is pretty sweet too. And the song finishes with a stunning piano instrumental with a bit of Matt's oOoOoOoOoOoOo-ing.
Oooh, lyricsss!
I was searching you were on a mission
Then our hearts combined like a neutron star collision
I have nothing left to lose
You took your time to choose
Then we told each other with no trace of fear that
Our love would be forever
And if we die, we die together
Well I, I said never
Cause our love would be forever
The world is broken, halos fail to glisten
We try to make a difference but no one wants to listen
Hail the preachers, fake and proud
Their doctrines will be cloud
Then they'll dissipate like snowflakes in an ocean
Love is forever and we’ll die
We’ll die together
Well I, I said never
Cause our love, could be forever
*guitar solo*
Now I’ve got nothing left to lose
You take your side to choose
I can tell you now without a trace of fear
That my love will be forever
And well die, we’ll die together
Will I, I will never
Cause our love will be foreverLike I said, it's cheesy to the max. But it kinda works in a weird way.
