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. The song was previewed by Zane Lowe on BBC Radio One on 7:30pm BST on the release date, immediately after which it was available as a download single.
The piano outro of the song is Rachmaninoff's Adagio sostenuto which Matt played occasionally during the Absolution tour before Sunburn.
Recording
The song was recorded in April 2010 in California, after the Coachella festival, having been written after the release of The Resistance, presumable during 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. [...]"
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
