U2 - Soon

[comp0stable]

I'm upset that this no longer follows Space Oddity to open 360 shows. I get goosebumps just listening to it here, imagine in the stadium :O!!

[TotoSoloRock]

Sooooon song of the ascent!!!!

[120TOMTOM]

Is this on iTunes?

[dtpc191991]

Hell I'd like to see them actually play this live properly. If you listen to edges guitar at thend theirs a bit of the TUF era in that sound.

[fitz576]

this tune is going to travel simply majestic

[TheGatorAlex]

Honestly beginning and end kinda boring. Middle= Some of the greatest stuff ive heard

[U2HL]

great song!I can't wait having their next album,i hope it will be SOON!!!

[witchaster]

When i hear this song i really want to go to a U2 consert. I hope i can go to one SOON :D

[danielsentana]

This song is a thousand times better than Stingray. We want Soon/Breathe back!!!

[clublife32]

@danielsentana I agree 100% with you.The transition between Soon/Breathe is much smoother than Return Of The Stingray Guitar/Beautiful Day.

[ParanahBoy]

It's a total different tune compared with songs from No Line On The Horizon. Critics were probably expecting songs like this on it. I'm deffinetly buying the song if it gets released as a single =D

[baldini75]

it's called KIngdom of your love

[fortitude78]

Very Eno this - but cool.

As for the Miami spammer - what a brilliant rolling advertisment for one of U2's most under-rated albums! Go and buy Pop - it kicks butt.

[Jysti]

I Would like that this track and Winter were fit on the album, intead of Crazy Tonight/Boots/Stand Up Comedy

It would be a great great album. Soon is very good and evocative. Very "Enoesque"

[lupolucano77]

Milan 7-7-2009, Rome 8-10-2010....God Save U2 !

[TheAmiyakumar]

can someone tell who is singing on this track. Its bono and edge for sure but who else??

[fortitude78]

@TheAmiyakumar Brian Eno

[ninjathunderbolt]

Excellent track. Evocative of the gig last year. Should be longer and available to download. Actually it should have been on the album.

[JCReaP]

Is it possible to get the background pick? It's such a great picture of the band

[theartistandme]

I love it.

And as far as the Miami spammer, to be honest I think it's pretty funny now. I'm a bit bummed when I see U2 vid and I don't see him.

[U2Songs]

this song reminds me about unforgettable fire.

[TyraRay]

Oh how I love U2!

[bicketteama]

Comme au concert x) ;)

[JoseRengifo94]

"Soon"

Great song!!

I think U2's success lies in the search for new sounds and influences...

Their new album, No Line On The Horizon, has arabic influences, especially in songs like Cedars Of Lebanon, Fez-Being Born, Magnificent, Moment Of Surrender and Unknown Caller...

U2 is the best band ever!!

[elemenopii]

fantastic. thank you for posting banksandcathedrals

[tetsuai]

oh my lord!!!

Finally!!!

It sounds great!!!!

i hope they play it full in the new begining of the 360 tour!!!!

[7da7n37]

it's too short! and why the hell would they leave this off of NLOTH!!?!?!

[Shimitz]

Only U2 can after so many years reinvent themselves again. This song is from another world. Love u guys.

[jackonue]

its another boring song of a formerly inspiring band. maybe its FEZ part 2, a leftover!?

[clublife32]

oh yes and U2 DID WRITE MIAMI so for the Miami spammer GET OVER YOURSELF!

[madeinwales68]

This is a remix of Kingdom of your love or Kingdom whatever you prefer to call it. This is the actual version that was played during the the 360 tour.

[frizer86]

I hope they still use this song as Intro for 2010 Tour. Waiting them in Coimbra!! =D

[clublife32]

@frizer86 Yea I hope they keep this for the 360 tour intro too and also release an extended mix of Soon as a future B Side to one of their singles.

[dvescri95]

ok. sorry. they say soon instead of soul.

i saw the lyrics in a spanish page and i copied

[VeritySeeker]

Fantastic song. Haunting. Greatness.

[dvescri95]

These are the lyrics:

Soul

Sing yourself on down the street

Sing yourself right off your feet

Sing yourself away from victory and from defeat

Sing yourself with fife and drum

Sing yourself to overcome

The thought that someone’s lost and someone else has won

[JoRu94]

@dvescri95 Ah, thanks for posting the lyrics. However, they never sing "soul". They do however sing "soon" multiple times in the beginning and in the end.

[johnnydinkis2]

@dvescri95 umm im willing to bet they're saying "soon" and not "soul"... don't know why, just a sneaking suspicion

[LuthienBono]

Oh you beat me to it! An online buddy sent me this song yesterday and I'd made a video that I was going to upload onto YouTube!! Love this song, stirs up memories of the night I got to see U2 live in Berlin last year!!

[saba223]

I thought this tune was called "Kingdom". All through the 360 Tour this would play and people referred to this "Kingdom". In any case, its a grrreat tune. Cannot wait for the next album. Also, i think its interesting how we all use "Achtung Baby" as the yardstick of how great this or any next album can / will be!

[banksandcathedrals]

@saba223 It was known as Kingdom for the duration of the 360 Tour, on printed setlists etc. However, U2 released it the other day on a 7" vinyl with the super-deluxe edition of the Rose Bowl DVD/Blu Ray set, and it is clearly labeled as "Soon" there. U2 changed its name somewhere in the process, evidently.

I agree, it's an awesome song!

[clublife32]

@banksandcathedrals U2 seems to change the name of song titles quite a bit.This song probably was called Kingdom and then changed to Soon.Just like Magnificent was first titled French Disco,Beautiful Day was Jubilee,Vertigo was Shark Soup then Native Son before,and Miami was originally called Super City Mania.

[BenaiMagnificent]

@saba223 : It was called "Kingdom of your Love"

[tommywm24]

Great tune. It's got a very cinematic sound to it. I wish it was longer though!

[luieu2]

love it !

[elco1980]

@ Art.. LOL sorry my bad I don't know what I was thinking hahaha. Yes that would be quite a funny title ha. Of course i mean Ascent must go get some coffee. Either way thanks to the OP for sharing. Awesome song and yes it does sound zooropaish!

[halljoh2]

Wow... this is awesome. It sounds like it could be from Zooropa. I love No Line on the Horizon, but I would be happy with a change in direction like this as well.

[TheGavio93]

got any more?

[InGodsCountry]

Love it. Thanks for posting this!

[elco1980]

Awesome song! This is the direction U2 should take next! If Songs of Accents is in the same style as this, their next album could be as good as Achtung Baby! Bring it on boys! Great song!

[ArtMonkforHallofFame]

@elco1980 Songs of Accents? that would be pretty funny. Lots of "Oirish music".

perhaps you meant Songs of Ascent. :)
