Songs of Experience vol. 29: No More Acronyms

[U2freakboy]

The Blackout just played on intro to the World Series!

Yes! Just heard it. Awesome! Although a bit odd to give such a huge platform to a song no one can buy yet.

 

[prbiker15]

Studio version of The Blackout playing during the World Series intro on Fox!

Interesting.

 

[dan_smee]

If I had to guess now, I’d say they might release it to iTunes as a non-single with the album announcement to jack up the streaming/pre sale numbers, and GOOYOW will be the second single with video etc next week just before dios.

 

[dan_smee]

How much of The Blackout was played, and did anyone record it?

 

[JoRu]

Any audio/video of this? I'm not 'Murican.

 

[plp]

Worst thing to ever happen a pussy

Confirmed B-side: Trump (Worst thing to ever happen a pussy)

 

[popacrobat]

Beautiful Day and Desire also featured by Fox so far in addition to the Blackout.

I assume we'll see some serious promotion during the World Series.

 

[Sweepingsound]

Well there is this lmao https://youtu.be/O3We4rgXHGA

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

I can see it now. Commercial break "The new comeback album from U2, songs of experience December 1st". Cue the eye rolls of every non fan in America.

 

[RoKKeR]

Interesting! I think we'll be getting some stuff real soon, exciting times.

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

Interesting! I think we'll be getting some stuff real soon, exciting times.

This is exciting! Any audio of the blackout? What if we get gooyow as the single and blackout as a download on Friday? I mean they have already released a version of it. If they were saving it for a true single they probably wouldn't have given us a live version of it before hand.

Please, no one post a clip. I can't take 18 pages of overanalyzing 5 seconds of a song.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Please, no one post a clip. I can't take 18 pages of overanalyzing 5 seconds of a song.

How does this complaint about overanalyzing small clips compare to complaints about SOI?

 

[corianderstem]

It's a Cori Complaint, so there is no comparison.

 

[Y2K]

Here's the World Series intro.

 

[CosmoKramer]

I rate the clip 4 Bananas up an ass out of 5 which for you non-Americans translate to 3.75 sleeping cats out of 5.

 

[CosmoKramer]

Here's the World Series intro.

I couldn’t stop staring at that creepy Halloween bear in the corner of the shot!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Here's the World Series intro.

Oh my. Well gee I wasn't expecting all that talking to be a part of the song. Shades of Bullet The Blue Sky, amirite??

 

[prbiker15]

I guess I’ll hear the studio version when I add the song to my music library.

Tracklist and a new song, please.

 

[superchuk5]

Sauces tell me the album was released last week to all Windows Phone users.

Songs of Experience: a Zune exclusive.

 

[popacrobat]

Sunday Bloody Sunday the bumper music out of the sixth inning.

 

[nbelcik]

Just heard Sunday Bloody Sunday

 

[prbiker15]

Clearly there was some type of deal to play U2 music during the World Series.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

No better place to reach the world than the world series, that's what I always say

 

[david]

Best Thing remix right now?

 

[ramblin rose]

Yeah so far I've heard Kygo remix, Blackout, Desire, Elevation and SBS

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

Are we having a setlist party??? Yeah woot woot!

 

[Y2K]

1. The Blackout
2. Desire
3. Elevation
4. Sunday Bloody Sunday
5. You're the Best Thing About Me (Kygo vs. U2)
6. The Blackout

 

[dan_smee]

Huh. Very interesting. Surely this is gearing up to an announcement

 

[dudeman]

Did the voiceover say at one point, and I quote:
"...all topped with caps - not hats." and then launch into a style and product description?!

If so that was AWESOME.
Boner should totally do that on the song. Hopefully they just made that guy loud to drown out some boner poetry, amirite?!
