Alright, so this is one of my favourite songs, and I love both the studio & "live" (wide awake in america wembley) versions. The WAIA version is imo brilliantly produced, but there's always been one thing which has bothered me immensely about it. It's missing what is one of my favourite parts of a U2 song, the epic verse "and we live by the side of the road, on the side of a hill as the valley explode.....dislocated, suffocated...the land grows weary of its own"
this verse IS on the alternate mix of ASOH which was released with The Unforgettable Fire single (in new zealand only I think). but alas, as the cruel gods of irony would have it, that mix is missing the verse immediately prior to the aforementioned one! This kind of disturbs the flow of the song for me, and the EPIC VERSE seems a bit sudden & out of place. Now I know I'm being very picky about this, but this is one of my all time favourite songs and i've always wished that we had a more complete mix (with both verses) of the Wembley "live" version. So I tried editing the two mixes to create the ultimate mix, but sadly since I pretty much have zero skills in this area I failed miserably!
Is there anyone here who can do this? All you have to do is cut the "and we live by the side of the road...." part out from the alternate mix and put it in the right place on the WAIA mix. I can send you the alternate mix (from TUF single) if you don't have it. It shouldn't be hard for someone with a little expertise with audio editing & mixing, since they're both from the same source (Wembley) and are identical except for the interchanged verses i've mentioned (and backing vocals from The Edge at the start of the alternate mix).
So, anybody here think they can do this?? plz!
