Who here thinks the unreleased demo version is by far the best thing since sliced bread? Happy Valentine's Day!

[Angel-Of-Harlem]

Beautiful! I'd never listened to it before. It's less corny than the single version imo
Thanks for sharing

 

[vaz02]

I bloody loved that

 

[TheEdge25]

Bono sounds hammered.

 

[digitize]

Both versions annoy me. I think this one annoys me more.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Both versions annoy me. I think this one annoys me more.

Quite the opposite! I like usual version, but I agree it can get annoying sometimes much in the case of Stuck in a Moment.

This though... this is nice. Don't know why they didn't touch it up and release it in some way.

 

[lemonfly]

I like. Certainly less "poppy" than the single version and better for it. Sounds like the foundations of a proper album track, pity it became a mere B side.

 

[Catman]

Ha, never heard this version before; quite different! But I liked it

 

[gvox]

speaking words of wisdom, let it be...

That was my first impression, also.

Bono sounds hammered.

How else does one get thru Valentine`s Day?

How else does one get thru Valentine`s Day?

A giant glass of indifference?

 

[gvox]

Maybe so, but Indifference doesn't quite roll off the tongue like Cabernet Sauvignon now, does it?

 

[corianderstem]

But I actually know how to pronounce "indifference."

 

[gvox]

I cheat and just reach for the JP Chenet - which means that I can get away with not knowing how to pronounce "Sauvignon" - and yet appear to Know What The Fuck I'm Talking About When It Comes To Red Wines...and get hammered...all for under $10

 

[trevgreg]

Never heard that one before. Thanks for posting!

 

[Marien]

Never heard of this, thank you do much!

 

[U2girl]

OK, but I prefer the B-side and the 1998 single versions.

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Dare I say, it's "even sweeter than the real thing"!
