I am not a big fan of the first part, particularly the "these days..." vocals, but it gets a lot better towards the end of the song when Edge comes to prominence.
I know for a lot of you this sounds like blasphemy, but I have a few problem with it (for now!)...
The difficulties with the song I seem to have are:
* The song doesn't sound "new" or innovative in what way whatsoever. To me, it sounds like a real HTDAAB-track.
* The pace/rhythm sounds like it drags and drags, Larry's predictable smash on the cymbal at all the same points underlines this dragging. Like the rhythm of "Trip Through Your Wires"... But here it works because it's a fun little song that's swaying instead of dragging.
* The song doesn't seem to know where it wants to go at several moments. It sounds like 3 or 4 songs chopped up and merged back together again.
* The sound is to "in your face" ...ehm....like 3 cats fighting between 4 tin rubbish cans.. or something like that... Just too loud and almost annoying like the sound of "All Because Of You" and "Crumbs"...
I might change my opinion but for now the song hasn't landed yet for me, and I don't get all the "Hallelujah's" about it... sorry.
Wrong wrong .. why does a song always need to sound new? It does sound like U2 .. and in what way. This song is greaaaaatttt ...
One problem with Breathe is that it takes 40 seconds from the end of the first verse at 1 minute to get to Bono's first "Neeeeed" in the chrous. That intervening section (Walk out into the street etc) drags really it should only take half that time. Does anyone else feel this?
