Take today!

[crazyu2]

Hello!
I really appreciate this song and I'm a bit surprised that I have not seen one single threat about this song. It's time to remediate this, don't you think? I enjoy the lyrics and the way Bono sings it, in a broken voice, a bit lazzy...I love its message too : If you want to take tomorrow, than you've got to take today. I agree!!!!

What song?

 

[Ellay]

Take Today - that's what it's called sometimes..

It's one of the tracks on the salome out-takes.

This song is pretty special. It wasn't going to go on the album but it is something interesting.
BonoVoxSupastar, Ellay is right but there's more. The song comes in two versions, an instrumental and one with vocals. Edge I believe is singing on the vocal version. The song later became North And South Of The River, in fact if you listen to a live version and then Take Today, you'll hear the same the instrumentation.

Gotcha. I only have a one disc version of the outtakes, and while the tracks are good the incompletness bugs me. This one isn't on it. I'll have to check it out sometime.
