This is absolutely weaker than U2, but Pillar didn't do a bad job. I wish they had not skipped the beginning of the last verse. It just feels incomplete. And a little rushed.
It's probably because they wanted to put more emphasis on the "Claim the victory Jesus won" line. The album is, after all, a whole bunch of awesome Christian artists united for Africa.
@Randimable I think pillar is good with emotions, but especially in this song with rage and fear, somehow with this song I don't relate too the bloody sunday where 13 irishmen got shot, but to the child soldiers in africa; the emotions are different in the songs, but just as strong.
this verson i find brings out the true meaning of the lyrics because it has an anthem feel to it. it has an edge that drives home the tragedy of the event the lyrics describe. in my opinion, this is as good if not better than U2's original verson
@NoButtonsToday I cannot find it any where either. Did you finally have any luck finding it?? I'm totally willing to pay too! LOVE this version!! Why isn't it everywhere! I even tried their own site!?! Weird
@ Randimable i always thought this song was about the marches in Selma, Alabama until i read what you said and looked it up and found i was wrong. you learn something new everyday i guess. P.S. it's not nice to call names, jerk. just joshing.
Covering a song seems to be a risky thing to do. If it sounds too close to the original, people complain. If it sounds too different or the band decides to take some liberties, people complain. The original is great and I enjoy this rendition as well
@Randimable So your saying that Pillar is worse at feelings and emotion? Just because you like the band U2 does not mean you need to hate on Pillar. And by the way if you take the time to look it up Pillar are very much American
doooood, this version sucks :/ i gotta admit its better than the paramore version, but ya just cant redo a u2 song, it wont work out... any wayzz.. U2 ROXXX :D
this is better than the Paramore cover. (no offense to all you parawhores out there that most likely watch this.) and it is also way better than the U2 version! <3 Pillar is awesome!
I have noticed that Pillar is very good at doing covers!!! I dont know alot of Pillar songs but the 2 most known cover songs that I know by them is Shine and Sunday Bloody Sunday!
doesn't QUITE pull it off. guitars to heavy. vocals too, i don't know, "metal" i guess you could say. not a bad version, and i probably like it better if i didn't know the original.
I like bono a lot better and it dosnt mix so could but its intresting but just like you cant touch we are the world you shouldnt mess with this song ( bad comparison)
guys obviously pillar likes U2 if they chose to do a cover of one of their songs. I like and support Pillar, so I don't think I'll say either one is better. They're mimicking the original, and I think they know that. Both bands are unique and have their own awesomeness. 'Nuff said?
I think U2 wrote a master piece and pillar put the edge on it. I like a little harder rock so i perfer this cover but U2 did a great job with this song. Pillar just put it over the top
caz it is better...........u cant acept that some bands sing this song better that shitty U2.....like pillar,and Ignite......U2 version is the biggest bullshit i ever heard.......xD
