The Muse video of Uprising is now out. The song debuted the other day on the VMAs. In an interview lead singer Matthew Bellamy said, “I think I’m having a phone call with the director(Chris Weitz) tomorrow. He wants to use a song off the new album, so we’re going to talk about that. That could be cool.”
Now we don’t know if Uprising is the song that they were going to discuss, but what do you think about it? Is it more of a New Moon or an Eclipse song?



Gosh, I love this song so much! It’s awesome. I would love it on both of the soundtracks. But I feel that it’s a bit more of an Eclipse song. But it would be perfect for the New Moon soundtrack too! As long as there is a Muse song on the soundtrack I will be pleased, haha.
but you know, what did supermassive black hole have to do with baseball? i don’t think it’s necessarily the content of the song but the feeling and mood of it that matters.
i’d like to see 3 songs chosen from muse to include in each of the remaining movies. muse was the muse for stephenie meyer after all. it needs to be there.
personally, i wish they could find some way to use “starlight” by muse.
Did you notice the Eric said ” I don’t know if it’s worth it anymore.” in Twilight when they’re at La Push in Twilight(movie). That’s a line from “Starlight”
i thought it waas just me thinking that line had something to do with that song.
I agree, I think it would be a great Victoria song for Eclipse. Loved the song.
After hearing the lyrics to it, I think it is more of an Eclipse song:
“They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious”
Kind of sounds like a battle, maybe?… a battle between newborns and cullens, maybe?…
“They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious”
or it could also work for the breaking dawn movie for the voulturi……..the scene of the battle with the volturi is what flashed in my mind when i first heard this song…. c”,)
I totally agree. This is definitely the perfect song for Breaking Dawn and the “fight” against the Volturi. I love Muse! They should definitely be on every soundtrack!
I totally agree!
listening to the song I was like “new moon!!… no wait eclipse!!” and then I heard those lines and I went “oh it’s totally BREAKING DAWN”
Actually, the first time I heard it I thought of Breaking Dawn. At the end of the book, the face off w/ the Volturi and Garrett’s speech.
That’s totally what I thought too! Like a final battle scene, I could totally see it in Breaking Dawn!
Yeah I totally thought it was perfect for Breaking Dawn the first time I heard it too! The band did say it was about going against authority.
that is so where I see it … especially when Bella discovers her talent
I also thought of the part where Bella discovers just how far she can push her shield out. When that chorus is going, I see her standing there with this bad ass look on her face and this wave just shooting out from her and protecting all the people.
I’m not a music expert, but it did remind me of the newborn army, all crazy and definately not regimented (sorry David Slade, they aren’t). I tried to envision it in New Moon (maybe for the wolf pack???) and it was hard to imagine it , so my vote goes to Eclipse for what its worth.
Muse has a new Album! YAY!!!!!!
My first thought was: Breaking Dawn! The song reminds me very much of the big fight against the Volturi, but i don’t think it would fit in New Moon or Eclispe.
Love this song! All I can imagine when listening to this is the training scene with the Cullens in the field! Deff an Eclispe song, but like many have said I could see Breaking Dawn as well.
Totally agree! As soon as I heard it I started picturing the Cullens training at night with the werewolves looking on. But, if we’re being picky about the lyrics, I would have to say it suits Breaking Dawn more. Especially the lines “They will not control us. We will be victorious”.
Updated: Official Eclipse Cast list http://wp.me/pBxyj-bd
LOVE uprising but it is definitely more Eclipse! Maybe Undisclosed Desires could be New Moon. I can see that fitting.
I Belong To You would also fit at the END of New Moon perfectly!!!!
Can’t wait to hear what they pick!
i thought the same thing! i think that song would be perfect for new moon!
I too think this song would work better with Breaking Dawn in the scene between the Cullens and their friends vs. the Volturi. It could work in Eclipse but I think the song would fit better with Breaking Dawn.
I feel it’s more of an Eclipse song… though it would work quite well for Breaking Dawn! But, in my opinion, it just wouldn’y fit right for New Moon. Can November get here already PLEASE?!? LoL
Some of the words to I Belong To You by MUSE. . .
When these pillars get pulled down,
It will be you who wears the crown,
And I’ll owe everything to you
How much pain has cracked your soul?
How much love could make you whole?
You’re my guiding lightning strike
I can’t find the words to say,
But they’re overdue,
I’ve travelled half the world to say,
I belong to you
I haven’t heard that song yet, but the lyrics sound perfect!
This is from Undisclosed Desires!!
Works SO well from Jacob’s point of view!!!! Wow!!
I know you’ve suffered,
But I don’t want you to hide,
It’s cold and loveless,
I won’t let you be denied
Soothing,
I’ll make you feel pure,
Trust me,
You can be sure
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty’s not just a mask,
I want to exorcise the demons from your past,
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
Angela, I completely agree, Chris Weitz needs to use either “I Belong To You” or “Undisclosed Desires” in New Moon. As soon as I listened to them, I KNEW they both were perfect songs. Man, I hope either of them are on the soundtrack…
Right now, I Belong to You is my favorite song off The Resistance, but I can’t imagine it in New Moon. I can’t really see Undisclosed desires in New Moon either. (I love that song too!) I could imagine Uprising in Eclipse during some intense newborn part (fight scene or training).
I think Exogenesis Symphony Part 1 would work for some intense Volturi/slow motion part in New Moon
My first thought was also Breaking Dawn, as it would fit the idea of a possible revolution brewing. Although since the fight never happens in BD, the tone of the music would fit well in Eclipse with an actual battle.
My other thoughts on the video was noticing the truck the band was riding in (colorless, I know, but a familiar model) and the vampire teddy bears at the end. Gave me and my kids a laugh.
I think the song Undisclosed Desires off of the new Muse album sounds a little like a New Moon song.
As for Uprising, I think it’s more like Eclipse.
Hopefully Muse will be on all four soundtracks. David Slade directed some music videos for them (Bliss, New Born, Feeling Good, Hyper Music). So he’s probably going to have them in Eclipse.
I personally think it would be a great song for Breaking Dawn when they Cullens are trying to get the Volturi to listen
Great song though, I love the Muse xxx
A) Did I see a vampire teddy bear in that video?
B) This is a good Breaking Dawn song. They have to unite to prove the corrupted Volturi wrong.
C) This song is amazing and I’m dying for my album to get here.
THIS IS A BREAKING DAWN SONG. for sure. for around the volturi scene.
I can totally see why Stephenie Meyer used Muse and a few other bands for inspiriation. They are awesome…I think you could take all of Muse’s albums and make soundtracks for every book like…simply amazing.
Cant wait until November 20… <3
I love Uprising, but don’t think it’s fit for New Moon, maybe Eclipse. I love the entire new Muse albuum, actually! I think Resisitance would be perfect for New Moon!
I think it actually can fit for New Moon when Bella goes to save Edward and they are facing the Volterri! when they are using the mind control and stuff. I put it on my playlist for that part already. It is a cool song. In all honesty it can fit in any of the books in my mind. Resistance is great too for New Moon.
It’s a cool song, but I just don’t see it fitting in New Moon. I wonder where they’re going to stick it.
I don’t think this song is on the soundtrack. It’s just the new single from Muse, and Chris wants to use some song of theirs. If they did use this one, I can see the instrumental parts being Bella doing dangerous things to see Edward. It sounds just like an adrenaline rush. However I don’t think the lyrics fit New Moon or Eclipse, but Breaking Dawn.
I love the song and while I have to agree that this one may be more sutied for Eclipse I just hope that they are on all the soundtracks. I have fallen in love with their music so I just want them on the soundtrack.
The ROMANIANS!!!!!!!!!
so breaking dawn….
This song is awesome! I think it’s more of an Eclipse song though, because in my opinion the song kinda goes with like the new borns and Victoria reeking havoc and taking control of things or maybe the Volturi.. IDK, but it doesn’t sound like New Moon to me…
I’m thinking it fits more with the Volturi confrontation at the end of Breaking Dawn.
I downloaded it be4 their cd was avalible and I absolutely love it
it makes you feel confident in a strange way…if that makes sense at all lol their fantastic!
Oh..and I definitely ignored the question oops!…def an eclipse or breaking dawn song!
okay those teddy bears scared the f outta me. i think it’s totally an eclipse song. it would be great music to play while a montage of jasper teaching everyone how to fight went on.
lovin’ the Muse! Glad to have a new album! If they do use Uprising, then Im thinking better for Eclipse. A lot of people have said during the battle with the newborn, and I agree. Im also thinking maybe when Jasper is training all of them? I can see it playing when they are all trying to ‘attack’ Jasper, and getting their butts beat.
That’s definitely a BD song… In the scene with the Volturi especially. For me the most perfect Muse song from the new album for NM is “I Belong to You”. It would be wonderful for the after-Volterra part. “I travelled half the world to say… I belong to you…”. Isn’t it what they’ve actually done??
I love LOVE LOVE their new album, but i don’t think uprising is right for new moon…… The 2nd song on the album, “Resistance” has more of a new moon feel to it, that would be cool to have that on there!
i dont think any of the songs off the album in their current state would suit, i do like i belong to you but maybe if muse did an acoustic version?
I think that Undisclosed Desires would be PERFECT for New Moon. I agree with Uprising for Eclipse, with the battle scene at the end of the movie. I’d LOVE to hear Newborn in Breaking Dawn…just sayin.
I am so glad Muse is getting their due respect in the US now. Been a fan for a long while now and I can’t wait to see them open for U2. When they opened for MCR, I left after they performed. Didn’t care to see MCR, as far as I was concerned they were the main attraction!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the new album. For New Moon, I think the song’s got to be either Resistance or Undisclosed Desires. UD is PERFECT for Jacob.
Chorus:
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty’s not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
I think it would fit more with Breaking Dawn, at least that was my first thought.
Love this song! Love Muse! Would be great for Eclipse or Breaking Dawn, however I alwys see the “finale” to Breaking Dawn in my mind whenever I hear “Your Gonna Go Far Kid” by The Offspring. It’s so kick-butt-Bella-ish.
I love this song but I hope it’s undisclosed desires that they use from their new CD
Am I the only one who heard this song and thought it would be perfect song for The Host???
I thought that, too!
i ABSOLUTELY hated the host. that has got to be one of the worst books i have ever read. i seriously could just skip a few chapters and would have lost pretty much nothing in the story line.
a repackaged bella and recycled love triangle story. the female protagonist martyr with two guys in love with her. sound familiar? boring.
wow….you’re absolutely right!!!
i dont think its really a Twilight song at all-
but how about The Hunger Games or Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins.
thats what i always thought it belonged to-not twilight at all
yes! perfect for The Hunger Games too!
Actually, that’s a great idea. The theme of a resistance as a smoldering fire building up – it fits.
Cool song, cool video. I love it.
well I wouldn’t say it should go with New Moon or Eclipse, its definetly a Breaking Dawn. I’ve thought that ever since I first heard it, which was a couple months ago on a local Radio station. so its been one of my favorite songs for a while now.
I think Uprising is more fitting for Eclipse. As for New Moon, I think Guiding Light [from Edward's perspective] would work and/or Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3(Redemption)for end credits would be perfect.
Guiding Light lyrics:
Pure hearts stumble
In my hands they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core
I can’t hurt you anymore…
But I’m lost, crushed, cold and confused with no guiding light left inside
You’re my guiding light..
Perfect Nina!!!
Guiding Light would work!
But really. . . I think I could make any Muse song fit anywhere.
Or maybe it’s me making a connection between everything and the Twilight saga!!
Obsess much?!
Personally I don’t really see this song working in the Twilight Saga at all… it’s far too political. But I LOVE Muse. I’ve been a fan of their work for a very long time and they have lots of other songs that will work for New Moon and Eclipse and I can’t wait to see what ends up on the soundtracks!!
I don’t think Uprising should belong on any of the Twilight Saga movies. However, I think “Undisclosed Desires” works for Jake in New Moon or Eclipse. Also “Guiding Light” for Edward’s POV after Volterra (this fits the “shooting star” speech that he gives in the book). “I Belong To You” is too light and the sound too weird to fit anywhere (despite the lyrics).
More than anything though, I can totally hear “Exogenesis: Part 3 (Redemption)” playing in the background in the scene where Bella wakes up in her room and thinks she’s still dreaming/Edward’s reconciliation with her.
I thought Breaking Dawn at first 4 the almost fight scene, but if the debate ‘s between New Moon and Eclipse. I pick Eclipse because the lyrics go with it. But either way I hope Muse will be in the soundtrack I love this band !!!!!!
P.S. Wonder if Rob likes them 2.
to me, this song is much more Breaking Dawn.
with that said, if there isn’t a Muse song on the soundtrack, i’m going to be very irritated. there are a million fabulous songs to choose from. there should be at least one on each of the soundtracks. i think Stephenie should make that a rule ^_^
i’d suggest something in the lines of Apocalypse Please for New Moon. maybe even Time Is Running Out, or Absolution. I really could list like a billion more….
me too. i would love tons of their songs to be included.
This song wouldn’t work at all for any of the Twilight series. It’s about a political uprising, not true love between and vampire and a human or whatever. Even the “battle” scenes wouldn’t fit with this, since there’s really no tension about uprising. No themes in common whatsoever.
LOVED IT ROCK ON GUYS!!!!!!!!=)
A lot of Muse’s songs fit for the books, but not the movies. Matt’s lyrics fit a bunch of things in the Twilight saga, but the sound and doesn’t. I love Muse and the Twilight series to pieces (if it were up to me all of the soundtracks would be all Muse songs) but some of the songs just wouldn’t work for the movies even if the lyrics were perfect.
it sooooo good
