Rest of U2 Survivor: HTDAAB - Round 1

[Axver]

like me and Your Blue Room

(which I absolutely love, BTW. You haven't lived until dancing with a girl you love with nothing but moonlight )

Well, if you love it, then why vote it off over songs you've never even heard?

 

[Mr. V]

I've had enough...

of romantic love? would you give it up, yeah, give it up, for a miracle, a miracle drug?

 

[corianderstem]

I smell like freedom.



(And confidential to NSW: )

He's amusing himself. A truly noble deed.

 

[thelaj]

All Because of You, taking the narrow victory from AMAAW

finally someone that gets me






Axver... it was obviuous that YBR would win... so why vote?

unless... I could have some fun with it

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Those who voted for Crumbs, I have a question ... Why? Why kill off this album's best track? You make me sad.

The melody grates on my last nerve. Especially in the chorus, it just keeps going up and down, and I can't stand it:

"you speeeak of signs and wondEEEEERS
but I need something othEEEEEER
I would beliiieve, if I was abLLLLLEE
but I'm waiting on the cruuumbs from your tabLLLLLLE."

And then there's the poor production, and the fact that the mood of the music is so wrong. It's all cheery bells and light-hearted vocals... but it's about death and desperation. You'd think they would've learned their lesson after A Day Without Me.

Oddly enough, I really don't have much of a problem with any of the lyrics

Crumbs. Ugh. I can't stand that song.

You and I should get married.

It's not THAT cheery. There's a fucking minor chord in there. That always means doom and desolation.

 

[U2girl]

A man and a woman.

 

[CTU2fan]

Well it's not as perky as "A Day Without Me" at least.

 

[Axver]

Personally, I enjoy the juxtaposition of relatively cheerful music and depressing lyrics in songs like ADWM and Crumbs. ADWM, of course, is the superior of the two.

 

[Aardvark747]

AMAAW shouldnt be leaving first.

 

[1stepcloser]

Yahweh. the studio version is abysmal. bloated, over produced rubbish.

 

[Aardvark747]

^Villa fans. Don't know jack about u2. Shame

 

[Varitek]

You don't like so much participation? I do. It makes things more lively.

i don't like all the little arguments that are the same thing over and over that break out here.

 

[1stepcloser]

^Villa fans. Don't know jack about u2. Shame

i bet paul mcgrath knows more about U2 than you do...

 

[vaz02]

^ Shut up and get back to the football thread where us hermits belong, same goes to you Aardvark.


One step closer is like a coma.

That's funny that you guys mentioned this because I was listening to Boy in my car yesterday and said the exact same thing to my kids (teens just getting really into U2 now). I think ADWM is perfect the way it is!

 

[corianderstem]

What? We never do that!

I kid. It does get old, but I'm getting better about just rolling my eyes and moving on. Or, depending on my mood, pushing up my sleeves and jumping into the fray.

Maybe I need more of a life.

In other news, I really like Crumbs, but that part that DOL mentioned does bug me. I don't like the melody and the falsetto in that part. But the rest of the song is really good.

 

[Tiger Edge]

A Man and a Woman is so incredibly grating for me. I think I've heard it twice my entire life. I always skip it.

my posts aren't that bad are they?

That's a rather adult attitude.


I'm disappointed in you.

 

[corianderstem]

You can't see me right now, but I'm sticking my tongue out at you and making fart noises in response to your post.

(Is that better?)

 

[coolian2]

My faith in you has been largely restored.

I'd respond in kind, but i'm not sure the 40 other people in the library would appreciate it.

I'll quietly flip the screen the middle finger though.

 

[Mr. V]

i just took a dump on my keyboard.



















not sure why.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

not sure why.

hey buddy, it's your keyboard

:backs away from the thread slowly:

 

[corianderstem]

Just don't fling it at us, please.

 

[RavenBlue]

All Because Of You

When this first came out, I loved it. Especially Edge's solo.

Now I find it's lost its sheen.

Wasn't it a single?

 

[Axver]

Wasn't it a single?

Yes. But this isn't non-single survivor. ABOY isn't on any Best Of, thus it's in the game.
