one more beautiful issue with GOYB

[tsweeney]

Maybe it's allowed to use the word "beautiful" in more than one song?

Guess what, it's even used more than once in poetry. How unoriginal.

The song Bono and Sinead O'Connor wrote called I'm Not Your Baby starts out with the line "It's a beautiful day". Bono said he blurted the line out improvising during the ATYCLB sessions and that's how Beautiful Day got started.

you're beautiful when i feel you on your knees with a cockatoo.

oh, and btw... that smell? freedom.

Like the top of a new born baby's head!

 

[dan_smee]

yep. i think he stumbled over his words and that was the first thing that came to his head, lol!

Why didn't he say beautiful cockatoos?

 

[dan_smee]

I wana see Bobo write a song that contains all words never used before in songs.

He can call it Obfuscation.

 

[dan_smee]

Seriously though, props to the OP.

Getting the magnifiying glass out and picking out invisible holes in songs written and released by other people who are more rich than they could ever even imagine, needing no more money, and playing music almost to the retiring age for our pleasure.

What a brave brave way to attack someone. When you are one of the most successful songwriters in history, you are bound to have a couple of recurring themes, especially over 33 years.

My advice would be: Bono may have said the word beautiful a few times, but these asinine threads are so fucking repetitive and lacking in any original thought that the very idea you had making this thread is the definition of hypocrisy.

yes, that's the joke. very good.

 

[gvox]

(Headache I think you could have worked in a ", baby" or ", child" or something..)

 

[Irvine511]

i don't even know how to mock this thread.

 

[gweeps]

The Justice remix should have been the album version.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

you think bono used "cockatoo" as a metaphor because he knew that talking about the band's naughty parts would get him banned from interference?

i do.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I think he needed something that rhymed with "you"

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

honestly though... 10 inch? come on... you're a legal midget in most states, let's be serious.

 

[gvox]

That just conjured up the image of a certain guy named Ron who's last name sounds like a first name.

They don't like to use buzzwords

true. "Beautiful" doesn't sound that good in falsetto anyway.

I think you may be onto something!

a new word for Bono, similar to beautiful, could be used as follows:

You don’t know how dutiful
You don’t know how dutiful you are
You don’t know, and you don’t get it, do you?
You don’t know how dutiful you are

this song would then be dedicated to their fans who spend money on concerts and cd's, album after album.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

wow, it sounds so much better...

They should have changed the lyrics for WOWY to "With Or Without Stew" to better portray the plight of those effected by the Great Potato Famine as well...
