SOE- 27: And SOE it Begins

[whackjester]

Track 1 of SOE appears to be Love is All We Have Left with the first lines being, "There's nothing to stop this being the best day ever."

 

[TinKnight]

So... we have "Summer of Love", "Love Is Bigger Than Anything in Its Way", and "Love is All We Have Left".

3 songs with love in the title.

Am I missing any?

Love (The Little Things That Give You Away)

 

[Iggy Fizz]

Track 1 of SOE appears to be Love is All We Have Left with the first lines being, "There's nothing to stop this being the best day ever."

sounds dangerously like a Beautiful Day parody.

 

[dismantlemyfly]

... and it looks like Jack and Zac are alive and kicking.



Oh well, new album is on the way, Ray

 

[travelleru2]

I actually think they might be going for a more atmospheric opener if that clip was anything to go by

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

If this weenie calls anything they do"punk" one more time...

 

[lazarus]

Isn't "Zac" usually spelled "Zach"?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Pretty sure you can spell it any number of ways, Hayes.

 

[TinKnight]

William Blake is punk bro, Moe

 

[CosmoKramer]

Isn't "Zac" usually spelled "Zach"?

It can depend, Jen.

 

[Mack_Again]

I tend to spell Zucc because I'm bathed in memes

 

[mikal]

So Bono finally admits that he lies. This is huge.

Jesus we now know the whole tracklist, except for the order. They've never stated so many titles in advance before. Just proves they've been sitting on these for a while

 

[lazarus]

Are we sure it's only 11 songs? Didn't they mention whittling down to 12 at one point?

 

[dismantlemyfly]

Civilization? Or has that morphed into something else?

not sure, but it's been 20 years since we've got 12 tracks on an album.

they always seem to promise 12, and we always seem to get 11...

 

[rathergoblind]

Also was instruments flying also a title out there?

 

[Northside]

New interview with Bono, courtesy of Rolling Stone's resident U2 geek Andy Greene. Haven't read it yet but Greene called it "extensive" the other day.

Bono on U2's New Album, Taking On Donald Trump - Rolling Stone

With the exception of the bit he quotes from Get Out Of Your Own Way, the lyrics sound decent.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

So Bono finally admits that he lies. This is huge.

Reconciliation with Leo can't be far behind

You forgot "Get Out Of Your Own Way" as Bono talked about in the article.

"Lincolns ghost says get out of your own way". Cringe

Bono is going for the gold with awful quotables this album.

I feel the literal political time stamp on parts of this album will ruin some songs for me.

Is Get Out Of Your Own Way a different song than Love is Bigger than Anything in its Way?


Both of these are awful, awful titles

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

Both of these are awful, awful titles

They may be awful titles but Edge made sure to include hip hop elements to make up for it!

 

[BEAL]

Every song needs more muted guitar string scratching in the verses. And Crazy Tonight guitar for the chorus

 

[super fly guy]

Are we sure it's only 11 songs? Didn't they mention whittling down to 12 at one point?

Tightrope,or has that morphed into something else?

 

[lazarus]

Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way is one of the worst titles they've ever had, if that one is official.

yeah but he may be lying, so where the fuck does that leave us now?!?!?!?!111111

 

[Y2K]

I have to say... song of the lyrics Bono quoted make me cringe, but I rather like this couplet:

I lie for a living
I love to let on
But you make it true
When you sing along
