"Dead Star" and "In Your World" are songs by English rock band Muse. Written for and included in a live form on their 2002 compilation albumHullabaloo 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.[2]
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.[citation needed] 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 practising in a dark basement and was directed by Tim Qualtrough and Tom Kirk.[citation needed] 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.[citation needed]
The song was used in the British Soap Opera Emmerdale in September 2006, in which character Cain Dingle leaves the village with Sadie King whilst escaping from the police. The song was used multiple times in scenes, including when Cain blows up his car, and drives into the quarry.
"Dead Star" was only consistently performed in 2001 and 2002, but has made occasional appearances on all of the band's tours since it originally debuted, with the exception of the Simulation Theory World Tour.
"In Your World" has not been performed since 2002.
