SOME DAYS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS appreciation thread!

[GirlsAloudFan]

Some days are sleepy some days are sloppy some days you cant stand the sight of a puppy your skin is white but you think youre a brother

 

[Screwtape2]

I love this song.

The lyrics aren't great but a lot of U2's fun songs aren't.

 

[LemonMelon]

Fantastic music, strangely relatable lyrics, and the fuzzbox solo at the end is sublime. One of my favorites from Zooropa.

 

[DevilsShoes]

One of my favorites from Zooropa.

One of my favourites too. I love the resigned almost fatalistic quality of Bono's lyrics and vocals.

I'm always reminded of the song when I'm having a day where nothing is going according to plan.

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

this song doesn't do anything special to me. Prefer zooropa, babyface, numb, lemon, stay, daddy's, dirty day and first time.... so it's number 9 of this album...

 

[The Sad Punk]

The music is great and makes up for the embarrassingly bad lyrics. They're the sort of shit you'd scribble down on a notepad while waiting 45 seconds to reheat last night's pizza in the microwave. Terrible shit. But the rest of it is good.

[U2Fanatic4ever]

this song and always have since day one. Fav song on the album

 

[dal975]

the song is meh for me and the lyrics are cartoonishly whatever...but I think it contains the most accurate line in the whole canon:
some days are bouncers and won't let you in.
indeed.

 

[U2opra]

I love this song. Makes me feel like there is still hope, when I am depressed.

 

[Zoots]

Amazingly fun beat! Some WTF lyrics but overall I like it. That mosquito farting at the end is too cool.

 

[BVS]

Some days this song is some days it's

Some days it's and other days it's

It's probably the most inconsistent U2 song for me personally. It just depends on my mood if I skip it or listen to it...

 

[thelaj]

I love this song, the bass guitar is fantastic.

 

[YBORCITY]

great music

Lyrics = cringeworthy

See, that's the genius of the song. Some days ARE better than others. I think the fact that the lyrics do sound like last night's pizza reheat lyrics makes it fantastic.

 

[topplehatU2]

I love this song like I love The Playboy Mansion and In a Little While. They're all relaxing and enjoyable.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Wow. I don't even remember starting this thread. I need help.

 

[LemonMelon]

Wow. I don't even remember starting this thread. I need help.

At least you didn't put the thread in FYM. Although, of course, I've seen worse over there.

 

[God Part II]

I want to have sex with the bass guitar in this song.

 

[gweeps]

Some days are bouncers that won't let you in.

 

[Vlaco]

The bass is great

 

[waynetravis]

Some Days...

I like the ''da da da, da da, ooh ooh'' parts

 

[zuropa_fit]

This song + Daddy's Gonna Pay is one of my favorite two song combos from any album

 

[Salome]

I think this song gets too much negative comments (not in this thread of course)
that being said, it's not a great song
but it serves its purpose on the album, well (enough) executed and its fun

 

[ozeeko]

If this song was given a Joshua Tree-type anthemic arrangement with deep sincere lyrics, it would be one of their biggest songs. I like the fact that they completely fucked with the sound, the mood, and vibe, and somehow it ends up sounding off-the-cuff, almost improvised. Plus, it's a rare instance where throwaway lyrics totally work. But there are some nice lyrical gems in there. "Your skin is white but you think you're a brother" "Sometimes you can't stand the sight of a puppy"- LOL come on those are great

 

[theu2fly]

Some days are better than the real thing

 

[fca780]

I was hearing it today in the way to school actually... is a fun song just..for "some days"...

 

[An Cat Gav]

I don't have a problem with the lyrics, I've heard a lot worse from Bono.
I agree with Lemonmelon about the fuzzbox solo.
I think its a great song and suite the album perfectly. Not a masterpiece of course, a bit like Tripped Through Your WIres, it's a light moment during an album of glorious darkness.

 

[U2girl]

I like the music and the chorus. Nothing wrong with fun U2 songs.

Lyrics are an atrocity though, especially given Bono's output in that decade.

 

[Carek1230]

This song title is SO true about life. Some days ARE better than others!
