"Dead Star" and "In Your World" are songs by the English rock band Muse. Written for and included in a live form on their 2002 compilation album Hullabaloo Soundtrack, the songs were released as a double A-side single to promote the album, and as an EP in Japan and France. The single reached number thirteen on the UK Singles Chart.
A video for "In Your World" was also produced, included on the double a-side, which consisted of a live performance and was directed by Matt Askem. The video is considerably shorter than the audio-only live album version, with running times of 2:35 and 3:12 respectively. The video for "Dead Star" shows the band practicing in a dark basement and was directed by Tim Qualtrough and Tom Kirk. It has a running time of 3:40, again shorter than the audio-only live album version which has a running time of 4:12. It was recorded in Winston Churchill's house in Brighton.
Famous quotes containing the words dead, star and/or world:
“I suppose it would be nice to say ... that ... I realized I was making abortion-rights history.... But the honest truth is that nothing like that even occurred to me. I was simply at the end of my rope. At a dead end. I just didn’t know what else to do.”
—Norma McCorvey (b. 1947)
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
“Ye purs, that been to me my lives light
And saviour, as in this world down here,
Out of this tonne helpe me thurgh your might,”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
