Watch Muse's new video in support of Olympic track Survival

Watch Muse's new video in support of Olympic track Survival While Muse's Olympic song for the upcoming London Games has been playing on the radio since June 27th, they recently unveiled the official video for "Survival". Debuted on BBC Radio 1, the song was described by the band as inspired by "total conviction and pure determination to win". Writing about 'Survival', the band said: "We are honoured that the Olympics have chosen our song to officially represent the London 2012 Olympic Games across the globe."

The new video opens up with clips from past Olympic events played in reverse with the years ticking backward.

The selected clips show not only athletes who are celebrating but also those who are in moments of turmoil while competing. The clips are intertwined with a computer generated animation of a human figure running across a plain black background. During the animated cuts, the words, "faster," "higher," and "stronger" are flashed on screen.

"Survival" is the official track for the London 2012 Olympics, with the video featuring classic clips of athletes at the Games and will be played when athletes enter the stadium from July 27 until August 12.
