Yahweh: Instrumental

[martha]

I just now made up the refrain.

Bono sings: It's my way or the highway says Yahweh.







Am I going to Hell for that?

sorry, with this left over Ivan crap, my computer keeps getting knocked off line. I should have just cut and pasted anyway. Here...

I was just wondering if anything *specifically* was mentioned about the lyrics of Yahweh. I read someone's speculation somewhere (@u2's forum I think) about it being an instrumental (I know, igniting the whole Dalkey debate again, sorry, I'm flip flopping) as the term is one that is not supposed to be spoken. Teta040 gave a good history of the term here:

Anyway, it's just something to think and talk about.

Bad doesn't have the title in it. Both Kite and Gone only mention the title once. 3 of U2's best songs.

serious bit: isnt there a bit in miracle drug that sounds like Yahweh. ie maybe its the same song - chorus is all about miracle drug but the song is called yahweh. as per Mr Braus examples.

'Cept I don't get the "Dalkey" reference.

too many words Dork, please summarise

 

[U2dork]

The Dalkey guy was going on about how the album was going to have an instrumental. He claimed the album would have 11 and 1/2 songs...

Am I going to Hell for that?

hell no.

 

[beli]

Dalkey also said he had small hands, hence me questioning you Martha. I need to suss you out in case you are Morleigh.

Ya know what's dorky? I didn't have to think about Kite, Gone or Bad for more than a second before realising the lyrics. They be burned on me feeble brain.

 

[martha]

Who is the Dalkey Guy?

 

[martha]

I need to suss you out in case you are Morleigh.

Reasons why I wish that were true (in order):

1. She's f'ing gorgeous.
2. She's thin.
3. She gets to boink Edge.
4. She's rich.

Here's the flaw with that. Why is an instrumental considered 1/2 a song? It's either a song, or it itnt.
Sounds like someone trying to be very clever.

Beli - Ok, your avatar is a praying mantis, I assume (maybe I shouldn't assume, cause you make an out of you and me.) But the mantis looks like a cartoon or animated. What's it all about?

 

[Matthew_Page2000]

Actually Yahweh is not an instrumental. It's a spoken word performance with no music.

Henry Rollins?

 

[U2Fan101]

Actually, I heard from my brother's ex-girlfriend, dog trainers cousin's wife's 2nd uncle once removed who happens to know Bono's stylist that Yahweh is actually just the four of them sitting around in the studio and drinking Guinness and getting drunk. I don't know if this source is too reliable though.
