KROQ has played 'Window in the Skies' -- post the links here!

[U2Man]

mike, is it as good as you predicted from the beach clip?

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Nice song, but it seems a bit elaborate to reproduce live.
So I'm not sure if it will ever be played live.

It just might work as a stripped down live take.

 

[U2girl]

Love the guitars coming in 2:14 and the "oh oh oh oh"s around 2 minute mark, and the way he says "I rhap-so-dyze". Neat strings, too.

Every bit, every bit.
As soon as I heard the chorus chord progression, I knew this would be a single, out of all the clips.

Instantly memorable. Can't beat Bono's gravelly low voice during the last few lines of the song.

Does kroq plan to play the track again?

 

[ntalwar]

You could apply that statement to just about any U2 studio recording post-Bot era

This one is more busy vocally, with multiple instruments. OOTS was a challenge to play live, and this has even more musical parts. I guess they could always do it acoustically.

 

[super fly guy]

Itsa good song,but i would have prefered 402! But hey!

 

[The Slow Loris]

Thanks very much Elizabeth and Trude!!

 

[Varitek]

some songs only take a few listens...and you just know that they have the stuff.

Or that they don't. I like it, especially the beatles-style part at the end and Edge's guitar work, but it isn't what it was hyped to be, and even though I didn't expect that, I wouldn't put it in my top 30 or 50 even. I'm listening to it still, and giving it time to sell itself to me, as I had to do with parts of Bomb. But I don't think it's their best work, or even their best recent work.

I thought U2 were with Apple, why are they advertising Microsoft??? pff Irony lol

I so cant wait for the new album if this is supposed to be a taste of things to come. Its songs like these that are going to put U2 over the beatles in the general consensus of top bands.

This honestly makes me wish the single were a huge medium for releasing music again. Hey Jude was never an album track, and although I'm not at all comparing the two songs, when you have an excuse to sit down for a week and pump out something like this, well holy shit man.

that was said about a majority of the unforgettable fire album... even the title track, but they performed it for 3 tours before retiring it.

 

[Galeongirl]

Instantly memorable. Can't beat Bono's gravelly low voice during the last few lines of the song.

and the falsetto bits..
I think the Edge guitar bits will be stuck in people's heads aswell, but somehow it reminds me of Streets!
Damn, imagine this live

 

[U2girl]

I just hope with the piano and falsetto-ish chorus people won't go "Oh that's copying Coldplay" when the song goes out.

So you like the song, hey? Imagine listening to this while gobbling down poutine???? The thought gives me convulsions. And I haven't even heard it yet!

 

[t8thgr8]

I see new U2 has taken over muse's reign on your playlist, canadiens. Muse is the shit, too.

right cause Coldplay invented piano

 

[U2girl]

So first 20 sec is really Radiohead? Could fit right into the song...

 

[zoopop]

"Please don't ever let me out of here!"
