not sure which one i am more confused by…this one or the chloe sutton ad…either way, ugh. their must be a better way to incorporate commercialism? out anders holm on the staff as the chief editor of these things? someone with knowledge and taste anyway…not just a business & marketing major. i remember when There is Nothing Left to Loose came out by Foo Fighters and that being basically the sound track of the 2000 games…isn’t there anything else like that available? heartfelt, inspiring, edgy, and commercial all at the same time?

Great video but sounds like a bad attempt at mixing Queen and an 80s hair band to me.

It’s like the Sutton video, just turn off the sound and enjoy the visuals.

Man, this got me all teary eyed! I have been to 2 Olympics, Athens and Beijing. First time, Athens, I ended up having to sleep on the streets and the trains at night because I spent all my money on tickets for sports, swimming water polo and trampoline. I was there2 nights 3 days and in China 7 days – volleyball, and 5 swimming sessions.
I love, absolutely LOVE the Olympics! This video was great, made me kinda sad that I couldn’t go to London (looking at about a 5-7K trip, the least).
One thing I am sure will get annoying is the coverage from NBC on Swimming. Phelps vs Lochte, Franklin vs Schmidt. NBC wants ratings and they… Read more »
Well now there’s Clary vs Phelps… Although Clary is all talk and Phelps is all swimming

I love MUSE and didn’t like the song when I first heard it on the radio. But together with the video it is stunning! LOVE it!!!

YUCK!Too artsy….the creator obviously doesn’t really understand sports or have much interest in them, just wanted to take music they liked and add good pictures and interesting editing to create something.Too long as well.Doesn’t have that “Feel Good Olympic moment”
thrill….Hope the rest are better..But if you watched the opening ceremonies in Beijing where they had a taste of the Olympics in London…it was awkward.Remember the Double Decker bus and the RED Phone booth that also showed up at Olympic Trails and the psychodelic 1960’s styles and haircuts?It was so different from the Chinese Interpretation of opening Ceremonies that it was awkward.Will be interesting to see what this one will be like….Can’t wait
I agree, even reading about NHS nurses and a giant bell I have faith in Danny Boyle. I get where Muse was trying to go here….just not my cuppa tea. Boyle’s leaked set list for the opening ceremony is fantastic, though!

Same here. I wished I could go to London. The last one I went to was Sydney 2000.
Well now there’s Clary vs Phelps… Although Clary is all talk and Phelps is all swimming

Relax. I’m sure LOCOG will be doing great.
Remember about that awkward un-sophisticated boxing kangaroos during Atlanta closing ceremony?
Sydney turned out to be really great.
I have trust in Danny Boyle to create one of the greatest opening ceremonies of all time.
I agree, even reading about NHS nurses and a giant bell I have faith in Danny Boyle. I get where Muse was trying to go here….just not my cuppa tea. Boyle’s leaked set list for the opening ceremony is fantastic, though!
I agree it doesn’t have that “Feel Good Olympic moment.” It sounds like an off-Broadway (or West End) musical number.
I’m so pumped up about this olympics already!
Me too!
I will love to see Duels like Phelps X Lochte, BoltXBlakeXGay…less than 20 days to go!
And to see Allyson Felix FINALLY wins that elusive olympics gold!
Oh, and for Federer to win the only title missing from his resume!
I agree.And i hope to see Brazil take Olympic Gold in soccer.The only major title in soccer Brazil dont have.
Apparently there are several sports contested at the Olympics I’ve never seen before.
