Have you heard this song??

[ultraviolet_1]

Just wanted to know if anyone has heard the "mercy" that was left off htdaab. As the story goes it bono wanted to have it on the album but the rest of the band didn't.....all i can say is,after hearing it only once, it is one of the best songs ive heard from them in a long time. Imagine a song inbetween "bad" and "luminous times". If anyone has heard of this song can you please tell me where i can listen or Download it?? Thanks everyone

I have some thoughts on the song...

First of all, it's a really great song. Any doubts that Bono can still sing should be shed after hearing it. He still has almost every bit of range and control he had as a younger man.

With that said, I can kinda' understand why the song wasn't included on the album...A few songs on the album come to mind when I hear it. Namely, Miracle Drug, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, Yahweh and City of Blinding Lights. Although this song has a personality all its own, there are striking similarities between it and the songs that I mentioned above. Because of these similarities I can understand why it doesn't appear on the album.

I do think this will see the light of day sometime, though. This may very well become a B-side one of these days...and it would be among their better ones too.
