Description
A calm, minimal electronic cross between 'I Want To Break Free' and 'Faith' with arrangements similar to Depeche Mode.[1] "You've had a fight with your girlfriend and she goes off to her mum's house for the day and you're on your own going: 'What did I say?'" says Matt, describing the song's inspiration. "I'm sure a lot of blokes have that experience in the early stages of relationships where you go, 'Yeah, she's right, isn't she?'"[2]
Some vocal harmonies over the word "madness" bare resemblence to the barbershop quartet effect heard in Assassin.
During the post-Madness debut interview on Radio One with Zane Lowe, Chris revealed he will be playing a Misa Kitara when performing this track live.
This song is performed a semi-tone lower live, A change from Bb Major to A Major. Presumeably to allow Matt more ease in singing the high note at "I need to love".
Information
By error of Bellamy, Howard, Wolstenholme or Kirk, the name of the song was leaked by a photo on Twitter, until it was deleted.
Lyrics
I, I can't get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness Is starting to evolve, mmm I, I tried so hard to let you go But some kind of madness Is swallowing me whole, yeah I have finally seen the light And I have finally realised What you mean
And now, I need to know is this real love Or is it just madness Keeping us afloat? Mmm When I look back, at all the crazy fights we had It's like some kind of madness Was taking control, yeah
And now, I have finally seen the light And I have finally realised What you need
And now, I have finally seen the end And I'm not expecting you to care, no That I have finally seen the light And I have finally realised
I need to love I need to love
Come to me Trust in a dream Come on and rescue me Yes I know I can be wrong And baby, I'm too headstrong Our love is Madness
Live
In the penultimate verse for the first live play Matt and Chris instead sang:
And now I have finally reached the end
(Finally reached the end)
