Music Mondays - Madness by Muse

British band Muse has released the first single for its new album The 2nd Law (releasing in October) and I love it.

They really need no introduction, but here are a couple of stats to jiggle your memory, just in case: 

1. The book connection: Supermassive Black Hole  was part of the soundtrack for the film adaptation of Twilight; and Neutron Star Collision was subsequently part of Eclipse's;

2. Survival was the official song for the London 2012 Olympics.

MADNESS

by Muse

I, 

I can't get these memories out of my mind

And some kind of madness

It's starting to evolve.

I,

I tried so hard to let you go

But some kind of madness

It's swallowing me whole.

I have finally seen the light

I have finally realized

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

Like some kind of madness

Was taking control.

And now,

I have finally seen the light.

And I

have finally realized

what you need.

But now,

I have finally seen the end.

And I'm

not expecting you to care.

But I 

have finally seen the light.

And I

have finally realized

that I need your love.

I need your love.

Come to me 

Trust in you dream

Come on and rescue me

Yes, I know

I can be wrong

Maybe I'm too headstrong

Our love is...

M-m-m-m-m-m-madness.
