U2 - Moment of Surrender (Unofficial E°89 Single Mix)

It's been rumoured that Moment of Surrender will be the forthcoming last single from U2's most recent album No Line On The Horizon, so I decided to make a single mix candidate out of the 7 minute and 24 second album version of the song, making it more fit for radio airplay. To achieve this, I shortened the intro and outro, increased the playback speed by 5% - to give a little more "go" - and omitted the fifth verse since I didn't think it contributed to the overall mood as much as the other lyrical content. U2 themselves omitted the third verse which I happen to like so I kept it.

To accompany the audio I have been trying to use shots from Fez, Morocco as much as possible and to minimize footage where the 360° Tour set-up has been visible to stay true to that goal. Keep in mind that this has been my first major adventure using Sony Vegas Pro 9 to edit and export a music video in HD-format so don't expect wonders from me, ok? =).
Enjoy!

My music taste is mostly metal, specifically a lot of European metal bands), but I have always liked U2. This is definitely 2009's "song of the year" for me.

At the Moment of Surrender

I folded to my knees

I did not notice the passers by

And they did not notice me

[reddawn20011]

[FuryNico]

I had tears on my face and it was impossible to hold on them !

[TheU2acrobat]

the problem with your version is it's still way too long to be a true single. Check out my edit and see what you think

[u2trish]

you missed out the pinnacle of the song.
