“Invincible” by Muse

"Invincible" is the sky-scraping heart of Muse's 2006 album Black Holes and Revelations, and when it went out as the record's fourth single in 2007, Matt Bellamy was open about where it came from: David Bowie's "Heroes". Bellamy wrote it and sings lead, playing guitar and keyboards, with Christopher Wolstenholme on bass and backing vocals and Dominic Howard on drums and percussion. Rich Costey co-produced with the band, recorded it with Claudius Mittendorfer and mixed it.

In Britain it entered at 21, the first single from the album to miss the top twenty in its opening week. The Jonnie Ross video, shot in Dublin ahead of a show, sends the band on a theme-park ride modelled on "It's a Small World" through the whole history of the planet, from the dinosaurs through Ancient Egypt and Rome to the Second World War.
