I think WITS is a better song than Mercy all around.
Okay so the poster you quoted made an excellent point, and you replied with two things that have absolutely nothing to do with what makes a song a great single.DPrinceNY said:
Wow I don't think so. Mercy is a more interesting track then WITS. Its not as simple with a 3 part chorus and sounds a lot more original. Besides the theme of "love" runs through both tracks, with Mercy conveying this theme with more strength.
Reggie Thee Dog said:The sad thing here is as soon as Mercy is released people here will pan it for being a Bad/All I Want Is You ripoff. They complain about "the horrible lyrics", the "weak guitar" and everything else in between.
I say it's better left to the box set, if and when we get that.

if I had to choose between going to a U2 concert where "u2 fans" put together the setlist or a u2 concert where no "u2 fan" could go to I would happily choose the latterelevateandy said:Mercy would never be a hit single these days- but it would probably be the MOST popular single among U2 fans, especially if it was played right Live.

It's an over-hyped unreleased U2 song that was originally intended to be included on HTDAAB but was later cut.
bono_man said:The lyrics on Mercy suck, reminds me of the lameness of All Because of You. I hope it doesnt see the light of day.
When you look at the amazing lyrical work of the past: One Tree Hill, Running to Stand Still, One, Stay, etc. Mercy just doesnt cut it.
I know i'm weedkiller honey... and you're sugar
If you're hunger... baby let me feed it
If you were ice... i'm water
And with your telescope... i can see further
We're binary code... a one and a zero
You wanted violins... and you got nero

its a fine tune. i hope they add it as a bonus track on the next album as well. might as well, throwing a song on the end of a 11-track album can't hurt, who cares...just like "ground beneath her feet" on ATYCLB.
Peterrrrr said:If you don't like Mercy, ask yourself one thing: how can a song that is bad geto so many threads? Mercy is one of their best ever.
bugo said:Mercy is good but not a single. It has too many problems - The overly repetitive screechy guitar part at the start, the melody not quite being squeezed out enough in the verse. Still great though.
Window in the Skies is just damn catchy, although still has a bit too much repitition, the chorus is played far too often! But I do like the song very much.
