SOE 30: With a Fanscore of 5 Bananas

[elevated_u2_fan]

new letters out to u2.com subscribers. showing up in UK so far

My guess is that they are going to send out 13 different copies with one song uncovered to different groups of U2.com members, so people will post them on social media and piece together the complete album... Until @U2 ruined it

If that was their plan, that's freaking awesome.

I can't wait to go over to the @u2 forums and talk about the song titles without being a d*ck

FFS, 13 (There is a light) would be a new arrangement of Song for Someone

 

[Airseven]

Based on the interviews, it sounds like they recently tweeked the track order and completed track 13 (an outro?). This probably explains the "delay" with the official announcement. Nov 1 seems like a nice round number!


Where is this SFS thing coming from? Sounds like a terrible idea.

 

[mikal]

I don't think there is anything even close to credible that suggests that 13 is a remake of SFS.

You really do need to stop being such a duck. All that quacking, it's ruining Interference.

I think its a joke since "there is a light" is a lyric in SFS.

It's a cover of The Hotel Year (now The Hotelier):

well on the @U2 Twitter channel they said this (re-posting here again)

Yes. Described to us as different arrangement of SFS with same chorus, possibly different lyrics.

I hear Red Flag Day sounds like a duck being castrated.

IF.... (oh god please no) there is some linkage between this 13 song and SFS's lyric perhaps it's simply a minute long outro ala "Saturday Night" was at the end of Boy... or hey maybe it's a cover of this...

It's mega mashup time for all the d**ks out there.

If true, now we know that there’s 2 songs from the past 4 years that they don’t want to let go of.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Trece!

Quack quack mothafuck
Quack quack I'ma duck
This is a song for some ducks

 

[BEAL]

Yuck. Song for Someone again? Keep polishing that turd.

So there really are only 12 songs on the album. If 13 is a rework of SFS, then obviously it would be a bonus track. Or hopefully, the @u2 twitter thing is just full of sh*t

 

[mikal]

Oh that's incredible. In a way, I hope it is a remake of SFS just to troll the "Omg it's the worst song ever" folks.

 

[Airseven]

If so, you would think "13" should be a bonus track no?

 

[mikal]

I'm guessing yes since the band has said 12 songs over and over.

None of these links work as intended yet but it seems like pre-orders will be going live pretty soon:

The same song with more "RAWK" guitar dubbed over it. Also produced by Ryan Tedder. Interference would implode upon itself.

Yea shit's going down soon

 

[Airseven]

Or maybe the "reworking"............shall...............wait for it...............make it....................better?!?

Instead of harkening back to SOI, I hope "13" is a moody outro tying into War. The Psalms angle seems apropos for this sort of personal album/closer.

I think I am one of the few here that really liked SFS. I get it's a simple arrangement but the lyrics are relatable and the chorus soars a bit and it's a beautiful song.

As far as "remake" on SOE......well, I wouldn't want it on the album proper because that's just weird. As a bonus track I would be okay with it but I'd rather have a new song.

Either way, I'm excited for the release and everything is just speculation at this point.
