jick said:Wow! Just checking through this thread, I am so surprised at the response to City Of Blinding Lights.
I have heard the low-quality mp3 and have sort of gotten the gist of the song structure and the melodies and the lyrics.
Let me tell you, at the end of the day it will just be another average typical U2 song.
Do you guys honestly believe it can hold a candle to such classics as Where The Streets Have No Name, Stay, One, With Or Without You, Pride, Sunday Bloody Sunday, etc.? I don't think so.
With the main sing-along part saying "oh you look so beautiful tonight" - it represents weak lyrics that seem like they were pulled off a page of the boyband songwriting manual.
Cheers,
