This is, uh, not good.
That's the complete opposite to what I thought when I heard it
This is, uh, not good.
Bono sounds rougher then any of the live versions. Almost like he's just riffing to see what works.
Welp, I'm afraid I've got some bad news then...Hopefully these will show up on iTunes. I really don't want to have to become a member of Spotify for these songs.
Lol I just cancelled my Spotify in favor of Apple Music. Oh well. I’m sure someone will rip mp3’s at some point.
Listened to the Spotify version today.
Eh. I don't understand the point of these. Why do something that's just slightly different?
... the less said about the cover of What's Going On, the better.
What’s funny is that this version is what I assumed the album version would be like. I like the song in this form, but once I heard the actual album version, the song took off to a whole new level.
Also? I think Edge’s vocals are way too high in the mix on the 2nd chorus.
Sometimes I can’t believe my existence / See myself from a distance / I can’t get back inside (...) Sometimes I wake at four in the morning / When all the darkness is swarming / And it covers me in fear / Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes / Full of anger and grieving / So far away from believing / That any sun will reappear / Sometimes / The end is not coming / It’s not coming / The end is here"
Fuck. This is so heartbreaking and it gives me chills when I try to picture it. This album has some of Bono's best lyrics is a looooong time. These are definitely some of those.
It's funny, because when they started playing it, this song said nothing to me. I remember people here in the forum appreciating it a lot but I was like "not again, not another typical U2 number with Bono's random lyrics written in his private jet, with MOS/Troubles-sort-of entrance and 80's/00's-reminiscent crescendo-build up ala-COBL with random Edge guitar".
So, I didn't give it much attention until the album came out.
And I have to admit that as soon as I listened to the studio recording in my SOE's first listen I thought "WOW, I was so wrong about this song". I thought that maybe the studio version had polished a lot of what I had listened to months ago, but then I went back to the live versions and they weren't substantially different.
It still does have a lot of cliché-U2 sound, but I think it's very beautifuly crafted and delicate. And I like the way Bono speaks a lot from the heart.

This might work for you:
Too bad this is mono.This might work for you:
Yes.
They've been medically controlling the heights of their children since birth specifically for this moment where they could stand next to each other and have a very slight resemblance to Africa, if the southern half of Africa was a third the size.
U2 plays the long game.
Yep. Absolutely phenomenal stuff. This part of the song is I think U2's best moment of the millennium.
YES... after so many listens this song is absolutely stunning and as much as I thought MOS might be my favorite post-ATYCLB song this tops it. If not breaking my top 10 It's pretty close (for such a new song it's hard to believe). It brings me back to the first time I heard Bad, ASOH, TUF, STREETS and all my other favorite. This song soars for me brings me to U2 nirvana...
