Anyone listened to the Sci-Fi Soul Mix posted a few pages yet?
A couple of times already and it's far better than the album's.

I can't find a working stream link...
Yeah, it's better than the single version but not that different.Anyone listened to the Sci-Fi Soul Mix posted a few pages yet?
Was anyone able to snag a recording of the alternate mix (the Sci Fi Soul mix)? I saw tweets about it but by the time I got to the site to stream it, it wasn't available any longer.
If someone got it, send it my way: spenceast@gmail.com?[/QUOTE][url]http://playiga.com/track/u2-youre-the-best-thing-about-me-2/[/url]
As someone who's run into this situation before while writing songs...
A lot of the times, you have a nice melody in your head and are coming up with words that go along with it. Then you run into a situation where you have the right words or phrase for a line, but it's one or two syllables too long. It frustrates you, but you see if you can fit something similar into it without losing the effect. If that doesn't work, then you either adjust the melody line (which might throw things off) or see if you can shorten the line another way. A lot of times, it might be the later "play on words", and then you look at it and sing and think "Hey, not bad!"
I suspect that's what happened here.

Adam may well be the star of this album.
Um..........why the hate?!
This sounds like a fresh new U2 single. Sounds like U2 doing indie pop and they do a great job.
Really excited about SOE!!
That sounds plausible - only this is Bono we're talking about. If he hears/comes up with a phrasing or wordplay that he likes he'll stop at nothing to make it work - even if it takes years to show up in an actual song (e.g. 'there is no them' etc.)
I like 'the best thing that ever happened a boy'. It assumes that English uses the dative case, and almost sounds like something from German poetry in this regard. Maybe he read it in Rilke or something. All I'm saying is: You're all presuming he took stuff out of the original lyric to make it fit - we don't know that
Good lord I have no idea what indie pop you listen to, but this is generic radio pop fodder, nothing indie about its sound whatsoever.

Axver, Do you agree that the song is better than GOYB & The Miracle?

GOYB? No way. That's a legit good and fun song.
They do for me.Neither of these links have any song.

GOYB? No way. That's a legit good and fun song. This feels just soooooo generic. Like someone trying to copy a U2 song.
Like if you got ALL of the U2 songs and averaged them together... this is what you'd come up with.
So disappointing after The Blackout.
Bono's lyric writing is just a disaster. He needs to be sparser and let the music come through more.
At least the Sci-Fi Soul Mix is kinda fun.
Maybe this will be a song that gets reinvented on the road much like EBW.
