Moment Of Surrender Appreciation Thread

[DeVaul]

fucking brilliant

 

[efisher99]

I'm hearing in this quite a lot of Take Today from the Berlin boots (and in turn NASOTR, of course).

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Anybody else here think this could've fit in perfectly on Everything That Happens Will Happen Today? That entire album is full of Eno beats like this one and Byrne's gospel theatrics....

...although I liked that album better.

Eno's all over the new album though....him and Lanois can definitely be considered band members.

One (well, two) of my all time favourite songs!

It's true that Moment of Surrender has a similar feel to them

Me too! I always thought that one take from the Salome sessions was fucking brilliant and then they sort of seemed to put it aside. Looks like they returned to it again and again it's fucking brilliant!

the oh oh ohs at the end remind me of Stay.

 

[jajanee]

Strange how seven and a half minutes fly by. Sounds great on first listen.

That part will be great live.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I'll be the only one. I hate One

You're going to get along just fine on this forum.

This song wasn't really doing it for me when I listened last night but now...I am finding it almost overwhelming. It feel like to me, like RTSS live. Wonderful, and achingly sad.

 

[gherman]

The first time I heard the song it started tugging on my tears without knowing why.

Beautiful song

 

[Bonogirl777]

This song didn't really do it for me last night but right now it's definitely growing on me. Tear jerking.

 

[xaviMF22]

lives up to the hype

Exactly my thought! I was expecting a song with a really long intro and/or really long outro. When the song was over I was like "wait ... please keep going!". Very impressive that this was one of those "first take" wonders, too.

 

[akhan01]

Pure genius. The best thing I've heard from U2 in decades. At over 7 minutes, it makes for a surreal experience. I'm honestly in awe.

 

[iota]

This song is everything I've been wishing U2 would be again. 7 minutes long and it's over too soon.

 

[Zooropa man]

Frickin' Awesome song!!!

 

[edgeplaytheblue]

WOWWWWW ... this is SONG IS AMAZING cool ... the mood ... everythingggg .. tears in my eyes

 

[mama cass]

just beautiful and stunning

 

[sue4u2]

OMG.. 1st listen - still listening.

From Rolling Stone

Moment" was played just one time -- the band improvised the version on the album from thin air. "This kind of spirit blows through every now and then," Bono says. "It's a very strange feeling."


that's what you feel when you hear this song - just brillant

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

the first verse.... godddddd.... the voice

 

[windylad72]

Awesome singing from Bono - he's never sounded this good ever.......takes me back to the Joshua Tree days and reminds me of the B side Hold on to love for such an emotion in his voice. This is the best song on the album and is an absolute grower, it just gets better with every listen.

Didn't Brian Eno have a good album?!! He's all over this album and sounds fanstastic!

 

[Bean Skidds]

My favorite song on the album. Done in 1 take, really amazing.

 

[u18247]

Can someone tell me where I can download the album? preferably MP3

 

[MCF74]

Incredible song! Bono's vocals are so strong on this track! I can't remember him sounding like this in a long time. Wow.

 

[Angtre01]

This is torture, I need to leave work soon

 

[misterboo]

I don't want to be too hasty in my judgement but I think this might just be the best thing they've ever put to record

 

[Slipstream]

Got it on the first time through.....wow.........U2 at it's finest. This will be an all time classic without a doubt. I actually got tingles for the first time in a long time from listening to a U2 song.
