This song is great, more of this please.
Book Of Your Heart is another main course after desert on this album. What a haunting beautiful song!
My favourite so far! It's spacious, epic, melancholic. Bono full-voice in the end. Simply wonderfull!
Sounds like they took the feel and atmosphere of Ultraviolet, Ground Beaneath, and Mercy into 2017!
Those who are still yearning for that dark AB-feel will get served here...
Only problem: song is too short (probably because I want it to go on for 20 minutes..)
Damn I love this song. I didn't know they still had this sort of thing in them.
I hate it when they do this - release non-album tracks which should be on the album. Exactly the same thing happened with SOI, three times - Invisible, TCB, and LH.
Why couldn't they have just had two 14 track albums for SOI and SOE?
You have good taste.
Yeah. Plus North Star.SOA with songs like Mercy or Oh Berlin style would definitely be my cup of tea too!
I know. I’m talking more about a possible release like “Songs of Innocence +” thats on iTunes which has Crystal Ballroom, Lucifers Hands and the acoustic/alternate versions of songs from that album. Maybe we’ll get something like that with SOE as well.

Like I said in my earlier thread, this song is just magic.
But:
Is it me or is there something really weird going on with the production of this song?
I mean:
The quiet verses where Bono sings with his low voice sound full, clear and spacious.
But when the chorus comes: "...the book, the book of your heart.." it sounds like all the other guys (Larry, Adam and Edge) come out of a little radio and are far in the background.. There's hardly a kickdrum, bass or full guitar to be heard, especially in the last chorus where song should really take off.. Also the volume falls back in these parts. Only Bono's voice in pretty upfront.
Did anyone else notice this too?
