I cry myself to sleep nights
at the devastating omission of Fez Being Born from the 360 Tour!
Undoubtedly a contender for U2's most beautiful song (with rough competition from One Tree Hill and All I Want Is You) -
it's got wonderfully unique and inventive drumming from Larry Mullen Jnr, Edge & Adam in beautiful synch and harmony, and invention also from Bono with a beautiful, broken singing style ("6 - o'clock" "on the au - toroute" "like mem - ories") not heard before. Such a simple, concise structure: the 1st verse about travelling to Fez by car and ferry (the song made me find out where the Bay of Cadiz is!), the 2nd verse about Being Born, with the gorgeous line "I'm being born, a bleeding start, The engines roar, blood curdling wail, Head first then foot, then heart sets sail."
But no one element is dominant or more beautiful than another - it's one of the greatest examples of U2 as a band being greater than the sum of its parts. Now that the song is deep down in my soul, if I was pushed and had to pick an absolute favourite part, it's what groovemeister Adam does with the bass when Bono sings the "oh oh"s.
Let this song get deep down inside you, it'll fill you up from within. Is there anything we can do to advance the cause of Fez Being Born making it into the show?! To me, the 360 Tour without this song is like the Earth without the Moon (don't get me wrong, I can't wait, it's still an awesome show!). My first show will be Giants Stadium on the 23rd (also going to Tampa), and I'd be surprised if the song makes it in by then - but you never know, they could be looking at new things in btwn Europe and America.
ps I'd also love to hear Stand Up Comedy! Very funky!
