LP13/Invisible. The Hope! The Trauma. Who's lying next?

[Vlad n U 2]

It's a very well written song. Great lyrics....but where the fuck is edge?

Playing the guitar presumably. Did you think Bono was playing all those parts?

It's a very well written song. Great lyrics....but where the fuck is edge? I'm not sold on the production just yet. This had potential to be a huge heartbreaker but there's too much of a pop sound going on. I dunno guys...few more listens.

Minimalist Edge! Actually there's lots of guitar in there. So many layers keep listening.

 

[Aleh_Hewson]

How the hell I'm going to wait for the new album now?

I. WANT. IT NOW.

Give me what I want, and no one gets hurt.

 

[LemonMelon]

Edge is presumably playing synth on the song, so he's extremely busy on the track.

 

[jeevey]

I thought the hook that follows the "there is no them" melody sounds more like a synth guitar line than keys, hence, Edge.

 

[Fullonedge3]

Wtf? The song's not on iTunes yet for me! Still have a countdown showing.

 

[Val]

I hear "Winter" in this song.

 

[mobonofo]

Invisible sounds really good side by side with the Paul Epworth version of Ordinary Love. I bet Epworth is the producer they are "experimenting with." I also bet the longer version of Invisible will be on the eventual album as an added inducement to pick it up and replace the "free" chopped down version. So happy with Invisible!

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

This song reminds me of my ex maybe thats why I hate it so much lol damn you Bono damn you!

It's not in the store, the only thing that works is the weblink. Use that, click open in itunes and it'll download into the store.

It is in the US ITunes store. Look up a U2 album, click on U2 in the description and "songs". It's in there.

Thank you! I like it

 

[purpleblackeye]

It definitely gets better w each listen which is a good sign for me.

Just wish it was a minute longer!

 

[Zoo Lemon]

A suggestion for mods: at least when this topic reaches 1000, we can *try* to keep a new one just for the new album at this point, and to redirect (in the first post) everyone to the 'Invisible' thread for the comments.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

I'm going to be the first to say it:

This song is awesome. This is a fucking perfect lead single. And it's not even a lead single.

Anyone pick up on what the "whispering" is going on in the background yet???

 

[cseggleton]

25 minutes to go on iheart. Going old school and waiting to hear it for the first time on the radio.

Thanks for the information. Hopefully it counts toward a download re: donations.

Not quite the song I was expecting.

 

[Achtung Ya'll]

Hopefully it's not an indication of the larger album, because it sounds just pretty generic. Instrumentally there's some hope in there, but as soon as Bono kicks it it just falls back to the straight "meh" territory that the last few albums have fallen into.

Well a few people are loving it?

 

[CMIS]

Sounds like it could be on the killers battleborn?Loving it though!

Sent from my GT-P3110 using U2 Interference mobile app

Liked battleborn, liking this. second listen.

 

[prbiker15]

Sad that it couldn't get to some people. Oh well, more enjoying for everyone else! Can't stop listening!

 

[wolfwill23]

It's better than I was expecting based on recent music but overall, the song struggles to rise above *meh*

That said, I could see the song taking off because of the 'I am not invisible' lyrics. It's sort of a universal anthem.

U2 Invisible (RED) Edit Version - YouTube

First listen! It is a classic! Beautiful surging melodies, space, synth, very romantic!

 

[corianderstem]

I am cry with happy.

 

[purpleoscar]

Much better than Hunter Hayes

 

[hanksta13]

Don't know if this has been posted already but the full song is on YouTube now. It has 6 views.

 

[gweeps]

Yeah, I agree with the U2 paint-by-numbers claim. I wish this was just a (RED) thing only and not part of any upcoming album. But hopefully the new album has an abundance of songs not like this or Ordinary Love. They both seem unfinished/filler.
