Description
An electronic cross between 'I Want To Break Free' and 'Faith'. "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?".[1]
A calm, minimal song, electronic arrangements remind of Depeche Mode. [2]
Matt said that the song first started as a pure 3 piece band song and eventually developed in a pure electronic song, with samples.
Some vocals parts bare resemblence to the barbershop quartet effect that can be heard in Assassin.
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.
In an NME article Madness was confirmed to be the second single.
Music video
So far, the only proof that there will be a music video for the song are some behind the scenes clips and photos on the internet, featuring SWAT marching in the underground station and having a fight with the rioters.
The video is being shot in Los Angeles, USA.
Apparently, the video is being shot by Skoti Collins production company.
Lyrics
I can't get these memories out of my mind And some kind of madness has started to evolve 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? And 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 But 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 Maybe I'm too headstrong Our love is... Madness
