Description

An electronic cross between 'I Want To Break Free' and 'Faith'. "You've had a fight with your girlfriend and she goes off to her mum's house for the day and you're on your own going: "What did I say?"" says Matt, describing the song's inspiration. "I'm sure a lot of blokes have that experience in the early stages of relationships where you go: "Yeah, she's right, isn't she?".[1]

A calm, minimal song, electronic arrangements remind of Depeche Mode. [2]

Matt said that the song first started as a pure 3 piece band song and eventually developed in a pure electronic song, with samples.

Information

By error of Bellamy, Howard, Wolstenholme or Kirk, the name of the song was leaked by a photo on Twitter, until it was deleted.

In an NME article Madness was confirmed to be the second single.

Music video

So far, the only proof that there will be a music video for the song are some behind the scenes clips and photos on the internet, featuring SWAT marching in the underground station and having a fight with the rioters.

The video is being shot in Los Angeles, USA.

Apparently, the video is being shot by Skoti Collins production company.

Lyrics

I can't get these memories out of my mind And some kind of madness has started to evolve I tried so hard to let you go But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah

I have finally seen the light And I have finally realised 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 It's like some kind of madness was taking control, yeah

And now I have finally seen the light And I have finally realized what you need

And now I have finally seen the end And I'm not expecting you to care, no But I have finally seen the light And I have finally realised I need to love I need to love

Come to me Trust in a dream Come on and rescue me Yes I know I can be wrong Maybe I'm too headstrong Our love is... Madness
