Get Out of Your Own Way

[kabigon]

Hear the children crying
And I know it's Tim to go

 

[Nate Dogg]

For the First Tim, I feel love

 

[Sr. Poop]

There are two things that are true.

1) this song is better than many here are giving it credit for

2) it's not better than Beautiful Day, that shit's crazy talk


These are facts.

Agree all the way

 

[Irvine511]

Tim won't leave me as I am
Tim won't take the boy out of the man


Jesus. Tim sounds like a real asshole.

This may be the the Christmas party booze talking, but its pretty funny.

 

[corianderstem]

Booze makes everything HILARIOUS.

 

[Peterrrrr]

After watching BD from the BBC performence, the songs havnet been this good since Elevation tour. The studio version is silly in compare....

 

[TheFox]

Really love GOOYOW now. Thought it was awful on first listen but its grown so,so much.

Late to this but laugh of the day

Bono sounded crap on the BBC version....

 

[CMIS]

I don't know why this seems so hard to grasp...

It isn't hard to grasp... I just don't like this particular song to their kids. Love many others on the album though.

 

[CMIS]

I agree. There is not an offensive song on this album (haven't listened for almost two weeks now), not even AS. Get Out is just a song that I don't see myself listening to outside the context of the album.


EDIT: Sorry, meant to quote Kiwilad saying that it's not offensive.

K

Perhaps I wasn't referring to you? There's a shit Ron of people on here who are sold that this is a song about America.

 

[CMIS]

Didn't think you were, just responding and trying to say that it's not just the lyrics or the song meaning that turned me off.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

K... but I was specifically referring only to those who think it's about America.

 

[CMIS]

Okay. It's not just about America, but the middle verse with Lincoln and the face of liberty seems to be part of the last-minute injection of political lyrics. Other than that, the song is pretty obviously about his children/daughter(s). But what other interpretation is there for the middle verse lyrics I referred to? Genuinely asking, not rhetorically.

Anyway, it's not a dealbreaker even if it was all about America, but it just left me unimpressed. Maybe it will suddenly start growing on me. Has happened before.

 

[Peterrrrr]

Bono sounded crap on the BBC version....

I like the rawness in his voice, it sounded more like the Elevation tour versions.

His daughters, Jordan specifically, are highly active politically. It's hardly a stretch to think the election shook them personally, and that is what the second verse addresses.

I thought the “I could sing it to you all night” bits sounded better than the studio version with strings and proper drums.

 

[corianderstem]

There's a shit Ron of people

First Tim, now Ron. Who's going to be the next Hilarious Typo Person to appear in this thread?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Ron and Tim are tight.

Didn't know that, thanks

 

[lazarus]

We're Ron, but we're not the same.

 

[lazarus]

Ronning to Stand Still

 

[kabigon]

Get Ron Your Boots

 

[corianderstem]

No, no. This is how it works:

Tim was a typo of 'time,' and can only replace U2 lyrics that use 'time.'

Ron was a typo of 'ton,' and can only replace U2 lyrics that use 'ton.'



Or, for lack of U2 lyrics featuring the word 'ton,' a joke about Bono eating a Ron of cake would also be acceptable.

 

[lazarus]

 

[corianderstem]

I do not approve.

 

[wolbersu2]

Where's the video they teased a week ago???

[dudeman]

Tim is one of my all time faves.
