I'm surprised you guys dig SYCMIOYO. To me, it's another Stuck In A Moment - I'd actually say it's even more plodding, but the fact the mixing doesn't totally kill the sincerity negates that.
That killed the song for me I think.
Doesn't make an iota of difference to me, honestly, but I'm sorry that others were so bugged by it.
No, not just a narrative. I am writing a MOVIE MUSICAL to go along with the album. Gotta shuffle things a bit though and throw some Zooropa songs in for balance.I think that's really what I love most about this album. The fact that they successfully told a story, without seeming to push it too far.
Chass wrote an amazing narrative to go along with the album, and it made it so much more to me.
Now I really wanna listen to it...soon *steeples fingers Mr. Burns style*
Time for UF. Join in, Ashley.
God, I love the intro to ASOH.
By the way, welcome to Axver's gushfest.

It wears its heart on its sleeve like Stuck, but they're not even comparable IMO. Stuck is cheesy pandering bullshit, while the other is very personal and considerably more subtle. They never should have released it as a single.
See, I just find SYCMIOYO is stylistically an incredibly boring song that goes nowhere. I think I fell asleep during it at U2 3D once. It's got the sincerity, but some of the lyrics are really dodgy and it's just not very musically effective.
And speaking of it live, Bono - quit it with the over-obvious hand gestures.
"A Sort of Homecoming" is fucking transcendental, Paul McCartney.
I'm a minute or two behind you, Ax.
How the hell did that happen? I thought you began about 30 seconds or so ahead of me!
The wind will crack in wintertime
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words
Just a screaaaaaaaaaaaammmm
Fuck yeah. God, this song is so well-written.
God, I love the intro to ASOH.

Do any of you guys agree with my assessment of "Ultra Violet" / "Acrobat"?
Oh, and fuck you, "Fix You." If you were a person, I wish you were dead.
'Ver, I love the "All Along the Watchtower" version. I think you sent it to me when we did our fake setlist party. That set was fucking epic.
ASOH is a fucking miracle of a song. Been listening to it since the day UF was released and I bought it on cassette. Were any of you even born then? I'm old. Fuck. But ASOH is timeless.
