The Fly
Original has the chorus off key...i can't stand the song because of it...it just sounds rubbish

However, CoBL could and should be a single - the 4th single. I like the long instrumental beginning, but, sadly, that may have to be trimmed for radio. But that staccato is one of the most catchy things I've ever heard! This song is definitely meant for radio. The entire arena/stadium will be singing along in concert to the refrain. So after a little modifying for radio, CoBL should be the 4th single. Sometime around June, I imagine.
The part where Bono sings "everywhere you go you shout it" sounds kins off to me - and everyone else i've played it togrbounds said:

OOTS is the most awesome song on the album and everyone should hear it.
i made my friend listen to a couple songs today in my drawing class, he is into hip hop and stuff right, and his favorite was original of the species.
you think youve gotten to the best part (bum bum bum" ill give you evrything that you want" bum bum bumbumbumbum bum bum) then "you are the first one of your kind" and you think the best part is over but then( and you feeeelll ...... i want the lot of what you got and i want nothing that ur not) not only is that one of the most beautiful lyrics on the whole cd but they coul;d just stop there. but no. and then soaring in (every where you go you shout it you dont have to be shy about it.. no) and then at the end, when you dont think it could get any more uplifting (dodo dodo dodo dodo dodo dodo sugar come on show your soul you been keeping your love under control)
ahww its the best man!
i love original of the species its my favorite song. so climactic. you wanna shout at the end of it
sorry about ranting on! i really love that song

Nope. Neither song is all-round brilliant like OOTS os, it is a MASSIVE pop song, with all the right ingredients..the two you spoke of oyu are good songs but not great, IMO.

AMAAW
AMAAW is built for american adult contempory radio.
Miracle Drug will do better in Europe. I am really confident from everything I have read and listening to the album. The only question is timing - they may make OOTS the last single as it gears towards 2005 Christmas and AMAAW is more of a "summer song"
There is now way on earth that COBL. LOPOE or Crumbs will be singles - I luv the songs but not for single release.
LyricalDrug said:Well, I'm feeling smug at the moment because ever since I heard the "Bomb," I've been running around telling everyone that "Sometimes" and "Original" are two of U2's best songs ever, and the two best on the album by far. And now check out what Bono told Rolling Stone!
BONO: But I won't really feel confident until "Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own" or "Original of the Species," one of those two, punctures the "pop" balloon. Otherwise, the album won't be what it should be.
LyricalDrug said:Dalton that is a great point.
Still, I think it's safe to say that Bono is as proud of those two songs as he is of any other on the album.

bcrt2000 said:OOTS definately can be a hit-- with the opposite crowd that liked vertigo though, the older music crowd, who are into the beatles, because it seems that every beatles fan who listens to OOTS immediately says its beatle territory & a great song
