I specially like U2´s songs which don´t necessarily sound like U2.. That´s why I love Zooropa. The guitars in this song just make Edge sound so damn fresh and propositive!! He should go for this kind of sounds in the future just like he did in Zooropa and Achtung Baby
Great song musically speaking. Soulful spirit. Lyrics are not mature enough but there are some real good phrases to remember. It would be a great comeback for U2 if they work it until it´s perfect
Best U2 song I've ever heard, city of blinding lights used to be my fav until this, wish they would've played This in Pittsburgh when I saw them on the 360 tour.
One of my all times from U2 ,its unreleased so come on guys we fans know you have a sackful of tunes like this,Every Breaking Wave,Winter,North Star etc so bring out the F++KING record and stop leaving us waiting!!!, oh yeah wicked lyrics Bono as usual!
@Snyarf Yes, to be honest I'm a life long U2 fan but NLOTH wasn't my favourite. Hopefully the next one will be better. Though Magnificent was one of the better songs but not great.
i love this song..i heard it live in 2 of the 6 shows i saw live..it gives me same emotion i always feel when i listen to "Where the streets have no name".immense.the melody, the lyrics.U2 were,are and will be forever the best band in the universe for me.
I really hope this song returns to this form on their album. It's really much more poetic than what their touring with. They say Every Breaking Wave will be their first single, fair enough because it's a great song, but Mercy MUST be a single at some point.
es el sonido de guitarra tipico de u2 ; ya con los primeros acordes te das cuenta que es un tema de ellos ; ahora no es nada nuevo y es bastante simple , es una linda cancion ,nada del otro mundo .
This wont be the final cut,the whole album got brought back into the studio,because they were'nt happy with the final cut,hense the delay...this could be a big song,right up there with the best....
this should have been the FIRST SINGLE of NLOTH (or any other album for that matter)! JUST BRILLIANT lyrics and music! Dont understand how this song could end up not released as a major hit (instead of 'Get on your boots', which is nowhere near this jewel!)
BoNo and everyone else invloved fucked up and made a big fucking GODDAMN mistake!!!
This song was the new beginning.... but the moment seems to have passed... "tell ENO to go fuck himself this time that he needs to see something over and above eno before he will listen!!!!
@macphisto777 it wasen't a mistake , it wasen't 100% finished and it got leaked out to the web , that's reason they did not use it. Now they play it live in their concerts ( and boy what a song!) but it's slightly diffrent. 80% of this version is still their.
This song was never released officially i nany form. It was given as an extra track on a copy of the album you mentioned to a relative and it somehow made its way to the internet.
one of the best u2 songs...finally a long epic-length tune! Wish they would do a 15-20 min epic piece (think The Revealing Science of God by yes)
