They will not control us, we will be Victorious!

From Muse's new song, 'Uprising,' such an awesome title, comes a fantastic chorus:

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Ahh, such powerful lyrics, sung with such gusto. I love it, this is a song that has to be played LOUD.

A worthwhile mention to another fave at the moment. Actually, it's a little part of Fall Out Boys' new one, 'Alpha Dog.'

You're not the first, or the last, but you're possibly the prettiest.

It's great. Often it's not the words that are said, but how they are delivered that produces the meaning. That's true in all of life, not just for music.

AND, continuing from my recent all-things-Twilight theme (as there are only 6 DAYS TO GO! to New Moon) I firmly believe that Muse's uprising is a definite New Moon song, and deserves its place on the soundtrack despite the fact that it is not there. It astounds me that a song by Muse, the band that has been mentioned by many sources if not also by the person herself, Stephenie Meyer, that they are an inspiration to her in her writings, and then a song such as that should appear and not be on the soundtrack despite its clear connection the the movie! Come on, it is so clear!
Uprising? Lyrics like
and hope that we will never see the truth around;
and endless red tape to keep the truth confined;
we should never be afraid to die.

Yes, I realise what Muse are really referring to, but interpretations are unique, meaning you can read it in a number of ways, including from a Twilight-themed perspective. This song could have sooooo been utilised in a much better way.

(So come on!)
