"The eeengines....roar!"
so this version isn't great?
I haven't even heard the album yet, but damn....this sounds desperate. Did it ever occur to you that maybe this time, just fucking MAYBE, it's not the case of "U2 didn't have enough balls to release......." ????
i finally got into this song this morning....took awhile, it was a grower but its on repeat now.
For me Fez-Being Born is in the perfect place on the album.
Realised today you can't listen to a song without hearing the song before it
Most times I listen to a album from start to finish once then I start picking out songs. On NLOTH I've listened start to finish almost every time
African sun, at last...
This is quickly turning into my favourite song on the album. I get chills at 1:32. Chills. It sounds so fucking good. People have been complaining about Bono's wailing on the album, but I think it often adds to the music -- especially in Being Born.
I don't get the intro yet. The beginning sounds a bit like a porno track mixed in with a bit of a bong hit.....
i like "being born" just because the tune is from the frames masterpiece "fitzcarraldo"
That's awesome.My kids (6 & 8) love the "let me in the sound" lyric a lot from Boots. So, when Fez starts they go a little crazy and demand that I turn it up so they can get in the sound. By the time Fez transitions into Being Born, they're both up and hopping around the living room. It is quite funny really.

I love this song after the second listen, its just so beautiful, and the sounds in the first minute are cool. I must say, I love the ringing guitar, especially in the outro.
Hey! This thread needs to move up to the top of the list - the song deserves it. This song is just so beatiful - I beleive it is my favourite song at the moment.
From U2.com:
"And then there's this song that is called 'Tripoli' at the moment, which is this guy on a motorcycle, a Moroccan French cop, who's going Awol. He drives through France and Spain down to this village outside of Cadiz where you can actually see the fires of Africa burning...'
That song was eventually called Fez-Being Born and it's streaming right now, along with the rest of the album."
Mystery finally solved! Great song, one of album's highlights.
