for those of us that can't hear it, how long is the video, and is it the song just playing in the background or what?

first of all, the vocals are in the background and all you can hear him say is "Breathe, just breathe yeah yeah"... it's 58 seconds and it's primarily edge putting down an additional guitar part, so the actual song itself is moreso in the background.
I wouldn't worry about Bono's vocals based off of that clip. Besides, on some songs he intentionally goes for scratchy vocals (in a little while.)

Any guess's as to what studio that is?
It's not Hanover Quay that's for sure; so it must be fairly recent.

Maybe that's the studio they were using in NY...

Well noted, so it's likely that this was recorded in Eze either in Edge or Bono's villa during the summer.

this song sounds good, I'm just slightly worried over Bono's vocals on that take...they sounded weak and tired and scratchy.....yes I realize I'm being incredibly picky right now as you can barely even hear him, but just sayin what it sounds like
hopefully that vocal take was nothing official...
You cannot be serious.

Does it sound like the HQ version of Breathe or the Eze version? I liked the vocals alot better in the HQ version.

I know I know....but that doesn't sound like an intentional scratchy vocal....whatever, it's not a big deal....I just hope Lanois hasn't been making shit up everytime he says "the president is singing like a bird" or "some of Bono's best vocals and lyrics" etc.
Did someone post the link? I didn't see it.

Maybe it's in France?? Bono has sandals on.

i think you read a lot too much into interviews and small 58 second clips with the vocals being as far in the background as they can get out of everything.

Hanover Quay consists of two floors with the studio on the 1st. This building looks like the studio is on the gound floor with an additional two extra floors.
It is not Hanover Quay.

Adam didn't put the seat down when he was done 
But I don't guess there are any women there, so I guess I'll let it slide this time.
(And the song sounds great!)

I find it funny how that last part is in parenthesis.

Yes, SherlockI find it funny how that last part is in parenthesis.
That's the comedic reaction I was going for.

Sounds good so far.
This was my least favorite of the Beach Clips, so I can't wait to hear songs 1 and 4 in more detail

Well, that clip was a huge tease. "Breathe" was my favourite of the beach clips.

lol edge fucks up at 50 sec. it looks and sounds like he is using the "with or with out you" effect. hopefully bono's weak vocals will not fuck up this song. because as an instrumental track it sounds good.

yeah, I noticed the fuck up too. That part is not going to be on the finished track, hehe.
The slide guitar does bear some similarities to WOWY, but I think that's a Les Paul in the video Edge is playing.
It's really not an awful not to go off of, but it sounds like a mid-tempo pop-rocky tune. Whatever the hell that means. But doesn't seem to be one of the "departure" songs they have been talking up. Lanois did mention that those will only constitute 20-30% of the final album though.

I wouldn't worry about Edge messing up, this looks like a tentative kind of "Hey guys, look what I've just thought of!" kind of studio moment. If they were recording this, it was probably just for reference.
And I'm glad someone pointed out Lanois being clean shaven. Although I was unaware that he is now bearded, I was going to suggest that this clip is old(er) than we might think. This seemed more like an idea session than a formal recording session. At least
this take did.
Very nice song too. I love it when U2 plays in 6/8.
