| ==Information==
| |
| The very first [[Muse]] song on a commercial Muse record.
| |
|
| |
|
| The version on the [[Muse (EP)|Muse EP]] differs from that which features on [[Showbiz (album)|Showbiz]], containing a slow bridge in the middle and additional lyrics, whilst omitting the last chorus.
| |
|
| |
| ==Live==
| |
| The song was first played sometime prior to [[Plymouth Hoe 1997 (gig)|Soundwaves 1997]], the recording from which is the first known performance of Overdue.
| |
|
| |
| It was likely commonly played throughout 1997 and 1998 as the band had seen some potential in the song based on its inclusion in the two-track demo. By 1999 it was played significantly less, but still made an appearance at most concerts. The notable exception was October 1999 where it did not make a single known appearance. It was usually either the opener or among the first few songs.
| |
|
| |
| During 2000 it was played at nearly every gig for the first half of January before the change in setlists to a smaller set. From what we know it was played semi-commonly up until March when it was dropped with the single exception being the performance at the London Astoria on June 7th, its last confirmed performance. Out of all tracks from Showbiz, it was played the least in 2000, apart from [[Hate This & I'll Love You (song) |Hate This & I'll Love You]]. Alongside [[Falling Down (song) |Falling Down]] and [[Escape (song) |Escape]], it did not return for the Origin of Symmetry tour.

| ==Composition==
| |
| Overdue is written in 4/4 time, but changes to 6/4 during the chorus. The song moves at a tempo of 108 bpm.
