Every Breaking Wave Will Be U2's Biggest Global Smash Hit Since Magnificent

[Mrs. Garrison]

Electrical Storm really was about a mermaid though

 

[God Part III]

[Headache in a Suitcase]

One wasn't a song about buffalos throwing themselves off cliffs

I really think you're wrong here

Yep. Hannah Storm's half sister.

Same father, Hannah's mom is human, Electrical's mom is a tuna

I'm confused. That doesn't exactly sound like an official video:

Aoife McArdle’s Every Breaking Wave is a short film based on the U2 song of the same name. Set on the streets of 1970s Northern Ireland, Every Breaking Wave is built around themes of emotional abandon and the uncertainty of romantic relationships.

Every Breaking Wave follows two teenagers who fall in love amidst ongoing violence. The short film's emotional core is centered around "Every Breaking Wave" and "The Troubles," two tracks drawn from U2's most recent album Songs of Innocence.

Wow, that was intense.

U2 > News > 'Making Waves'

I really do like the idea and the film is powerful. I wish more U2 songs had mini movies like that who show a different artistic approach' to the song themes.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

I don't have the 13 minutes it's gonna take to watch this right now...is U2 in it all?

 

[popacrobat]

no

 

[prbiker15]

Not bad at all.

 

[Catman]

Interesting

The ending felt a little abrupt, but otherwise I quite liked it!

 

[zoocarolina]

Very cool and this must have been what that filming was all about last year that we thought were videos for The Troubles video. Think a clip of this with U2 spliced in in parts for EBW would be great.

I actually really liked it. Much better than another boring band video. The use of acoustic EBW right after the full band version was a bit odd though.

 

[RaisedByWolves]

 

[BGD75]

Like the mix of EBW and Troubles

I think the abruptness is a deliberate artistic choice. The whole film really touches on the pointlessness of the cycle of violence.

 

[U2girl]

I wonder if they will get backlash for evoking the Troubles of the 1970s.
Odd choice to connect with EBW.

(and not even one second of Raised by wolves, the one song about that issue on the album)

Nice to hear the Troubles.

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

I think it could have used a little less "fookin this and fookin that" but nice video regardless

I recall hearing that there already was some backlash.

I think the fact that it's more short film than music video, doesn't glorify violence, and was directed by someone who lived through the troubles will help in that regard.

 

[bono_212]

I love that after all that kerfuffle about them filming in Northern Island it wasn't actually a U2 project.

 

[rennowba]

Great short film,but isnt it set in the 80's?it highlights the poster of october on the wall.

Agree with you here. Personally, I think cursing and swearing generally shows a lack of creativity. But I still like the way the mini-film was sequenced to the music.

Oh hey, I didn't realize you had signed up for Interference, Mom.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

Thats a great little film. For what it is, i couldn't help finding myself glued to it for the duration.

Yes the kids smoke and curse a lot, every other word or breath is FUCK and inhale/exhale. So what, as long as it's authentic to what they are trying to portray?

The violence is probably spot on. Not that i would know, but from everything i have heard it's probably the real deal.

Every soul has scars. Every scar has a beating heart. Every tough guy has moments where he can't tell the difference between his own sweat or tears.

Well done

 

[Roland of Gilead]

And I thought the swearing was representative of their "appearing" tough and lack of education. Seemed accurate.
