A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

The Kanye West-produced penultimate track from U2's latest studio album sounds like a cross between INXS's Just Keep Walking and West's Touch The Sky and Nelly Fertado's Promiscuous. Bono more or less spits out the verse, featuring a vocal not dissimilar from the one that closed out the single Window In the Skies, just with a little more punch. With a bassline reminiscent of Endless Deep, Adam Clayton shines on this track, while Edge's guitar rings out sweetly ala the opening to Pride during the chorus. Clocking in at 5:03, it is one of the highlights from the latest album, and certainly a potential Chart topiing single. Segues into the closing track, a cover of Live's "Love Shines (A Song For My Daighters About God)" beautifully.

The Sun The Moon The Stars

Piano intro verses:

When we pushed ourselves over
When we swam further down under
And ran on through that oh so slippery way
It was the sun, the moon, the stars that melted away
The fire in the night that pulled our dreams away
Into orange and gold
Against an open sea, an open sea
Into your arms, not needing to breathe
And waves, they now come crashing in
Bringing me back under your skin
It was through your liquid shards
And the sun the moon, the Stars...

Chorus:

And she finds her way just as you look away
You walk on by in the shadow she kept for you
Behind the candle she lit for you
In the ocean she pulled for you
And she slips away...
It was the sun, the moon, the stars...
Her eyes, the skylight in my afternoon
Her hands, the hourglass of this moment
She shall not pass, shall not pass
It was the sun, the moon, the stars
Never to fall through
No, she shall not pass

Verse:

And so she goes as the eyes of the world are closed
As the kings in high places lose control
The Earth, the friend betrayed
A pearl in the sea, not to fade, not to fade
Below these skies, a world still breathing
A firefly at dusk keeps singing...oh,
hmmmyeah...[scat singing in falsetto]

Chorus:

And she finds her way just as you look away
You walk on by in the shadow she kept for you
In the candle she lit for you
In the ocean she pulled for you
And she slips away
It was the sun, the moon the stars...[scat singing]
The skylight in my afternoon
Her hands, the hourglass of this moment
She shall not pass, shall not pass
For it was the sun, the moon, the stars...

Reprise:

Never to fall through
Never to die out
Never to fall out
Never to drop out
Never to cry out
Never to burn out
Never to fade out
Never to pass on through
No, for this shall not pass...

Outro Verses:

And sometimes I fall away against the night
Under the crack that lets through the light
Pushed inside, it's only of you
Your candlelight
Through the window explosions seep in
The lights in the sky all turn dim
Beyond silence I hear your cry
Yeah, beyond it all, the buzz and firefly
And so I fall away into arms
Beyond the sun, the moon and the stars...

Woah there. Since when is "Wire" an "ambience song"?

My bad entirely. I meant "Promenade"
