I agree. Many of the alt versions made me sit up and take notice. I really hope there are plans to release them in the near future...singles, remixes?
I really like the way the showman starts in the liner notes.
On first listen I did not give the song it's due credit. Part of that was wanting to hear what was next. Ever hopeful Looking for that instant thrill of a first listen that slaps a smile across your face. After a few slapped smiles later, RFD was the first song I felt compelled to come back...
:( sorry to hear those who are having a hard time. I do know music can be a powerful therapy. May these songs along with fan discussions add some comfort!
Looking at u2songs tweet...
"American Soul available as a download on the Extra Deluxe Boxset!#U2SongsOfExperien"
Did you get the extra deluxe boxset or just the deluxe?
Not sure if that makes a difference?
Pop will always have a prime spot on my U2 shelf. I agree Gone should have at least been a single if not lead.
With that said...
Hearing samples from the Hong Kong video altered my opinion on Pop a bit as I heard so much cool possibilities that seemed to get drowned out in the final...
I am in the wishful thinking "we will get a song" boat IF the 20th ends up being an album pre-sale announcement . Then guessing we will see the video release coincide with Dia de los Muertos a few weeks later.
I am basing this off of my timeline observations of iTunes history for the artists...
