What's your favorite part of City of Blinding Lights?

[shart1780]

I know we don't know what the whole thing sounds like yet. The live version is obviously shorter than the album version (by almost 2 minutes I think?). But you know what alot of it sounds like!!!

So which part do you like the most???

 

[MrBrau1]

I love the 3 skips, overload bass distortion, and lack of frums, I mean drums.

 

[popacrobat]

dont think before you laugh
look ugly in a photograph

thats my favorite part

 

[Axver]

It's all so beau-ti-ful.

 

[shart1780]

It may sound silly but I think my favorite part is when he sings "whooooo" in his falsetto voice.

It's just so beau-ti-ful to me!!!

It may sound silly but I think my favorite part is when he sings "whooooo" in his falsetto voice.

It's just so beau-ti-ful to me!!!

that is great, I just love when he screams "OH YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL" the way he delivers the line is amazing....

Favorite part of COBL = "Tonight, tonight in the City of Blinding Lights."

It will be one of the highlights of the upcoming tour when they play this at Madison Square Garden.

 

[Anirban]

i've been gone for a couple hours and don't have COBL yet!!! can someone please send it to me??? arbhatta@gmail.com
thank you!!!

 

[AussieU2fanman]

is it 'Oh you look so beautiful' or 'All you look so beautiful?'

 

[starsgoblue]

is it 'Oh you look so beautiful' or 'All you look so beautiful?'

Which ever it is it sounds amazing...I can't wait to see Bono sing that part live.

 

[AussieU2fanman]

I know, this song is going to be one heck of a sing-along live. I can already see myself at the Adelaide concert screaming, 'Oh you look so beautiful.....'

 

[starsgoblue]

With all the lights on and Bono with his head tilted all the way back....yeah I can see it...

 

[LostAtMoon]

With all the lights on and Bono with his head tilted all the way back....yeah I can see it...

I love that man! And I'm an idiot.

 

[bonojr62]

I think its just an awesome song... I wish the tour was going to be more stadiums now... A song like that cant be at full potential in an arena.... Oh well I can still dream.

 

[GibsonGirl]

The "Oh you look so beautiful" part!

I also love The Edge's back-up singing (the "ahhhh") towards the end of the song!

 

[discothequeLP]

yeah, definitely the chorus "Oh you look so beautiful, tonight!"


and the end part, "in the City of Blinding Lights"

 

[purpleoscar]

My fav part is the bass guitar. The song sounds like Unforgettable Fire, & Achtung Baby mixed with a Prince style song.

I mean that in a good way.

 

[discothequeLP]

yeah, its like UF part 2, and it fittingly talks about an 'unforgettable fire' of its own....sounds a little like "hey ya" in the chorus..haha
