To me it's pretty obvious in that clip around 1:43 or so that it's a woman singing

Yeah.

I really, really want this to happen.

well, you can hear them sing "someone" quite plainly in the chorus of the song, each time it pops us. not enough to say "IT IS" Song for Someone, but certainly makes it seem likely.

here's the cleanest version we have...

haha it's pretty bad eh?

if you can endure a few listens, the melody sticks, and the song's hook is apparent

I talked to Fisher on the phone last night about the Song For Someone clip and he told me about a time he was on a bike ride with Bono about 4 months ago.

He asked Bono if they were finished with the album yet. Bono replied "it's not over till the fat lady sings........wait! I have grand idea!"

Imagine what Lemon would have sounded like as a muddled cell phone recorded beach clip, then say for certain you know its a woman

I thought it was Mariah Carey when I first heard the Lemon beach clip.

not Yoko?

Honestly, the chorus just strikes me as the typical "Dangermouse sound". Not sure if just a vocal effect he uses, backup singers, whatever, but I don't think it sounds like a strong female lead.

I hear a lot of this sound in... whatever it is I can make out:

Broken Bells - The Changing Lights - YouTube

The Fat Lady voice has been sorely missed, since about 1995 or so! Man, I hope this story is true and really is some indication of him using this again. I'm on board. Sure, he's done falsetto in more recent material, but there was something about it in the 90s that made it sound more soulful; not only that, it was just the right counterpoint to the heavy/industrial rhythms they were working on, at the time.

It wasn't more soulful, it was just better. His voice isn't as good anymore.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

And thus started 30 pages of mindless jibberish over how Bono is actually a better technical singer today than he was back in the 90s because as you see he blah blah blah blah blah

GOYB was a Vertigo rewrite.

Can they just announce it already?

U2 wrote Miami.

I guess I can appreciate the production, but nothing from this record sticks with me. Right now I can't recall one melody line, nothing. What's the opposite of an earworm?

The single is the only one that stuck for me... All the other worms were dead on arrival..
