Description
"Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)" is a non-album song recorded in 2010 for the The Twilight Saga Eclipse Original Soundtrack. It was written without intent to include it on the soundtrack but was appropriate for it, so it was contributed following the director, Stephenie Meyer(a big muse fan), requesting MUSE to do a new version of 'I belong to you' (track 8 of the resistance album). But as this track was available at the time, and with Bellamy fearing that by the time the next album came to light that the lyrics would be irelevent. MUSE submitted it to him instead and it was accepted. Before getting involved with the film saga that is Twilight, this song was originally written by Bellamy straight after the breakup of him and his girlfriend around october time in 2009. The lyrics he wrote for this song were very much centralised around this event and you can see this throughout. The piano outro of the song is Rachmaninoff's Adagio sostenuto which Matt played occasionally during the Absolution tour before Sunburn. The song was fist heard on Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio One on 7:30pm 17th of may 2010. Immediately after it was available as a digital download single from muse.mu. And shortly after was availably from Amazon and Itunes. However fans could pre-order the single in cd format from muse.mu throughout the two weeks running up to the release
Recording
The song was recorded in April 2010 in California, after the Coachella festival, having been written after the release of The Resistance, at the beginning of the eponymous tour.
Stephanie Meyer's website announced the single on 6th May 2010:
- "The first single on "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" has just been confirmed and I get to bring you the exclusive details. Stephanie's very favourite band, Muse, have contributed a song called "Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)" and it's the first single from the project. [...]"
Right after the song was debuted on Zane Lowe's show, Matt was interviewed on how this song materialised. Matt explained:
- "Well actually the song was written, well I don't wanna bring anyone down, when I broke up with girlfriend about 8 months ago or something, and I pretty much wrote that song immediately after that. It was like that song was reflecting on that moment when you first get with someone and everything feels like it's going to go on forever and it's bit of like uh, bit of like a true love sentiment I suppose but for me when I wrote that song, it was quite heavy because it was like a memory of what it used to be like you know? Like when you used to think that way but now obviously it's the complete opposite of that when you break up. So when I'm singing that song, I'm kind of coming from that perspective really. So that song was floating around since about 8 months ago and that song was what I thought would probably be on another album in the future, but it's gonna be a long time until we get to do that, and then obviously these Eclipse, the Twilight people contacted us and um, we were very keen to get a song for the film and I just thought 'why not?' you know? Might as well just bug it out there and get it out there because probably the song is representing a difficult period of my life and by the time we get to the next album it might not be relevant anymore because my life might be changed or moved on or something."
Lyrics
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 And lie, I said never 'Cause our love would be forever
The world is broken Halos fail to glisten You try to make a difference But no one wants to listen
Hail, The preachers, fake and proud Their doctrines will becloud Then they'll dissipate Like snowflakes in an ocean
Love is forever And we'll die, we'll die together And lie, I say never 'Cause our love could be forever
Now I've got nothing left to lose You take your time to choose I can tell you now without a trace of fear
That my love will be forever and we'll die we'll die together Lie, I will never 'Cause our love will be forever
