Music: Listen to Muse’s official Olympics theme

On your marks: Muse

Muse debuted their official Olympics theme on Radio 1 yesterday evening. If you missed it, we’ve tracked down a stream of the track.

Track: Muse – Survival

File under: as grand, spectral and appropriately epic as you’d expect a Muse tune written for a major globe-spanning athletics event to be

Survival will be played throughout the July 27-August 12 Games, including when athletes enter the stadium, in the lead-up to medal ceremonies and also as the theme for international television coverage.

You can stream two versions of the track (the full-length with extended orchestral intro, plus the shorter radio edit) at 107.7 The End.
