British alternative rock band Muse has released its new single, Neutron Star Collision (love is Forever), as a soundtrack for the Twilight film series. It is the first time the band has made a song for a film. The bandmembers were contacted by people from Twilight and were asked whether they liked to make a song for the upcoming soundtrack album. Frontman Matthew Bellamy explained that he wrote the song shortly after he broke up with his girlfriend, which was a difficult period for him. The song is a looking back on the moment when you first get with someone and it feels like that situation will go on forever, according to Bellamy.
At first, I disliked the song. It reminded me of their last album, The Resistance, of which I think it is not on the same level as their previous albums. Though I do appreciate Muse's continuous urge of experimenting with different styles. After I listened to the song some more I realised it actually is quite good. It has a good variation in instruments (piano and guitar). The song also has various rhythms, which is characteristic for the drummer Dominic Howard. I now think it is a passionate song with lots of variations and beautiful tones. Along with Matt's beautiful high-pitched voice and the smart use of melodies it sounds very Muse-ish.

Muse is great. The atmosphere of their songs suits the sinister surroundings of the to-shoot twilight movies. With their rough but sometimes sensitive cords they will give enough dimension to the musical setting of the twilight movies.
