I just heard Every Breaking Wave and was surprised to not see a thread about it in Setlists and Songs.
It's so incredibly gorgeous, I thought it deserved one. U2 are clearly still at the peak of their powers, when you hear a song like this.
Usually it takes me a few listens to fully get into a U2 song and "get" it. But this one melted me first go - I hope it's still around, with full band, in Summer 2011.
Edit: Having heard it a 2nd and 3rd time, it feels like the most beautiful thing I've ever heard! You thank (whomever or whatever you thank) for music when you hear a song like this.
