Mercy on the next ep
if it comes out offically, there is a chance of hearing live, that is one of the reasons I would like it out there.
Mercy is a beautiful promise. However, it is a demo. The lyrics are beautiful in their unfinished form, but they would be some of Bono's best, I think, had they been fully completed. Really, the whole track is that way.

I didn't even know any of us knew what Magnificent was about. Hope the band haven't given up on it, though.As has been pointed out in another thread, and I agree, one reason why it didn’t make NLOTH aside from it’s fit is likely because of it’s similarity lyrically (at least chorus to chorus) and so perhaps thematically through the whole song, to Magnificent.

They both seem to be:
I was this, I was that, You are this, You are that, but… Love! Love is this! Love is that! (cue Edge) Love! Love! (the end)
another 5 year wait then....................Mercy on the next ep
Mercy sounded something straight from the early 90's - there was a lot of old U2 in there. Perhaps U2 felt they didn't want to be refering to their past self too much and wanted to move forward? Who knows.
I listened to Mercy for the first time a couple days ago. Probably for the last time too.
The notion that it is a demo is asinine. Way too many things going on.
And if you're not listening to a high quality mp3 (mine is just about 15 megs), then you're really not in a position to be judging it anyway.
People think because the song takes its time that's it's somehow unfinished and needs a lot of work, but the expansive nature (something missing from most of the 00's output) is why many of us like it so much.

I was really disappointed not to find it on NLOTH's track list.
