Musing on Dr Who

For some strange reason, songs by the Brit rock/electric/glam group Muse always remind me of Doctor Who. More specifically, David Tennent's Doctor. I had no idea why this was so, but it was so strong, I could actually picture specific Doctor moments when listening to the band. It was freaky.

Then, I was watching my box set of Season 2 and realised... they were constantly using Muse songs in Doctor Who Confidential, the behind-the-scenes insight into the making of the series. In the first season, in two different episodes, songs by Muse appeared. One was their cover of "Feeling Good", which I think appeared in the episode that introduced David Tennent as the Doctor (it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me... and I'm feeling good - how apropos!), and the other... well, can't remember the other one... oh wait, it was "Apocolypse, Please" and, well, just pick any Doctor Who episode for that one, really - heh.

My next freaky Doctor Who/Muse connection... I was reading the lyrics for "Starlight", which has been mashed with The Killers "When You Were Young" to form an absolutely awesome song ("When you were Starlight" by Team9 - awesome!) and perused the comments to find that someone believed the lyrics perfectly encapsulated the overall story arc of Season 2, the love story between Rose and the Doctor. And they were right! Tragedy and love and lonliness (I'm sure I've spelt that wrong)... it's all there, as well as a whole space theme that just screams Doctor Who...

Freaky deaky Doctor Who/Muse connection number three... well, not so much as it's Doctor Who Confidential again, but this time for Season 3. I reckon there were at least three Muse songs used in DWC this time, which really just cements the whole connection for me.

*sigh*

I'm so doomed for these to be inextricably linked forever in my mind. Just wait until the Season 4 box set is out. I'm sure the link will strike again...
