ONE love, blood, life
Or it could be seven minutes of One Step Closer.
I'm not saying that OSC is a bad song - just keeping things in perspective.
i would highly doubt it!

I'm actually dreading Moment Of Surrender.
1. No way it lives up to the hype in a million years.
2. A 7 minute song recorded in one take? Sounds like potentially aimless wankery to me.
3. It's sandwiched in between Magnificent and Unknown Caller, two tracks I honestly believe could be all-time U2 classics.

I also doubt that a 7 minute song is a 1-take thing, with no alterations. I don't think Bono could even come up with more than 3 minutes worth of lyrics in one jam session. So unless most of it is just the band going for it, and Bono randomly blurting stuff as it comes into his head like tourettes, there definitely was probably work done to MOS.
I listened to Chris Evans last night, he'd listened to the album and said he wasn't allowed to say anything about it. However he did say that as soon as he'd finished hearing it, his first words were "put it on again! and again..." he seemed to absolutely love it.
Probably, although Lemon comes close. Unless you count 11-minute dance remixes.

Nobody (Eno, Lanois, etc...) ever said that GOYB was their favourite song.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's rather a good news.
I believe it can live up to the hype
But the "one take" story is BS. That Gavin's board video just confirmed this with that note about Eno wanting to talk about the song. The idea or the whole song might have been created in one take, but I'm sure they changed it a lot since. I doubt they recorded it and never touched it again like they say. That video proves that.

What's wrong with GOYB?Promotion-wise, that wouldn't make much sense.
If you heard Boots, you've heard it all. No need to listen to the whole album, because everything there goes downhill from GOYB.

Were the GOYB lyrics recorded in one take then?! The song's growing on me slightly but the words are dire. If this is the best Bono can come up with given a few years of intermittent recording, then it's clear that the seemingly endless indecision surrounding every new U2 album revolves entirely around the musical arrangements. For those who want to know more, the full GOYB lyrics are available here:

Having said that though, if these were 'Highway 61 Revisited'-era Bob Dylan lyrics, then they'd be lauded as something comparable to Rimbaud!
In terms of MOS, I'd suggest that it could've been recorded in one take if Bono was singing pre-written lyrics. Or, Larry, Edge and Adam recorded the music in one take, with the vocals added afterwards. Or, it really is a totally spontaneous creation; if so, then expect lots of list-type lyrics with 'fly / sky' rhyming.
