Every Breaking Wave Will Be U2's Biggest Global Smash Hit Since Magnificent

[Hewson]

Probably not a good thing that everytime I hear this song on the radio, I feel like I should mention it.

In that case I would have given it zero mentions...have yet to hear it on radio.

 

[popacrobat]

I've heard it fairly often on radio 104.1 in Connecticut. They also played The Miracle for awhile, too.

Here in Hollywood, I've heard acoustic EBW once (or maybe it was an Adele track) and studio EBW once.

I've heard The Miracle about half a dozen times.

 

[Hewson]

When the album first dropped I heard Cedarwood Road 3 times total including the afternoon just after the Apple event when driving home. I think I've heard The Miracle twice on radio and that is the sum of the SOI content I've heard on radio, and I listen to the radio in the car daily (though the last few weeks been listening to more sports talk radio than music stations for obvious reasons). I listen primarily to what would be labeled rock stations, one which terms itself classic rock (where Carter Alan works, the station that played Cedarwood that afternoon), one that terms itself "Boston's alternative", and 3 other stations just basic rock, blend of classic and newer, all of which play plenty of U2 and all of which have largely ignored SOI.

I've neard heard SOI on the radio.

However, I heard New Year's Day, Pride, With and Without You, and Beautiful Day on the radio.

It's like the radio is stuck in time.

 

[popacrobat]

Or those songs are just better.

Edit: I really like SOI, too, but it doesn't have that one 'holy shit this is so fucking awesome' song. The songs you just listed are that to a lot of people.

The bonus disc does. And that's a shame.

Austin's AAA station also plays EBW quite a bit, and did the same for The Miracle, too.

The "bonus" disc does. And that's a shame.

Corrected.

I hear EBW about once every other week on one of the three Alt stations I listen to. So, not often, but probably more than I ever heard Magnificent .

 

[bono_212]

, just turned on the car, radio was on the lite fm station cause I was jamming some Pink on the way to work this morning and what do I hear?

"if you go!"

Guess it's not just on alt stations after all.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i heard it in starbucks once. that's all i got. and that's actually the only time i've heard any of the songs other than if i played them myself or they were on the apple commercial

 

[corianderstem]

The last time I heard it was in my gym a few weeks ago. (But I haven't been listening to the radio, terrestrial or satellite, as much lately.)

Must resist temptation to make dirty joke...show self constraint...

 

[bono_212]

Oh damn. Fuck.

I was jamming some Boy on the way to work the other day.

On the way to the NAMBLA offices?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Hiyo!

 

[david]

Boy hasn't aged at all. A timeless young treasure.

I just snorted loudly in a quiet room with about 30 people. ?

 

[brooklynmike]

Hiyo!

Who's that walking down the hall, Uncle Paul, Uncle Paul. Shhhyure.

Yes, this Boy is a colossus, one of the great U2 albums and greatest debuts ever.

Could only have been made by deeply gifted teens blessed with a lack of self-awareness that created great, honest music. Glad to see Bono explaining that, yes, "Twilight" is about, in part, homosexuality, and there's not a particular panic on his part. It's one aspect of a very sexual album, and it goes hand-in-hand worth the near bisexuality of "Stories For Boys."

And these are heterosexual men. It's nice to know that the hetero male experience is more complicated than your average Rolling Stones song.

And a good look at Boy helps us understand from where SOI comes from.

In a way Boy not being produced by Martin Hannett worked best for it. I think, at least.

I heard EBW on the radio that was playing in the gym locker room today, so I guess that's something?

The acoustic version gets me pumped to lift weights!

I heard invisible in a Chilis restaurant the other day. That's the first time I've heard a new U2 song on the "radio".
