Yes – and so we know, that Q-magazine sees "Cedars" and "Winter" in the same article as two different songs ...Yeah, bloody hell. Every song is different, just some popped up in articles while others didn't.
What about ONE BIRD?!?!?!?!
That was going to be the best song name EVAR!

I'm guessing that it became "Unknown Caller" just by the fact that UC starts with the sound of bird song.
Never noticed that.
... but to connect it with any working title as "One Bird", stays pure speculation ...
6. "Unknown Caller"
(- Q-source: "stately"; "was recorded in Fez and opens with the sounds of birdsong taped by Eno during a Moroccan dawn"
(- Q-magazine: "opens with the sound of birdsong recorded live in Fez. A middle eastern flavoured percussion loop drives this tale about a man"at the end of his rope" whose phone bizarrely begins texting him random instructions: "Reboot yourself","Password, enter here","You're free to go".
Dallas Schoo describes the song as "one of Edge's major solos in his life - you wont hear better than that on any other song""
- RS-source: "this midtempo track could have fit on ATYCLB. "The idea is that the narrator is in an altered state, and his phone starts talking to him," says the Edge")
... but to connect it with any working title as "One Bird", stays pure speculation ...
.. with always the possibility to return to page 1 and to check the facts, these speculations are based upon ...I find it funny that the thread 'What we really do know about NLOTH' has become speculation as well! not that i care, its just kind of funny!
, but now I really have to take some hours off – before the night is over. Enjoy, folks!^ yeah but speculation is all we have left. amazing that we hang on for these tidbits of info, and as soon as we have them, we jump straight back into the world of fantasy.
I believe in poor writing that way, that we have
1. one private session by Bono while driving around with Q
2. during this session two at that moment unfinished tunes were played, "No Line On The Horizon" (of whom two versions exist) and the still to be completed "Every Breaking Wave"
If you were right, Bono would have made such a private car session twice with Q, and would have played on both of them only two tunes – I don't believe so. Plus: 12 tunes with two rather long tracks would explain, why Bono called the album "very long". Hopefully none of the 12 will be thrown out therefore as it happened to a certain tune on the last album...
Thanx, mate – enjoy!@ZOOTVTOURist:
nice job summing it all up! I know all this info is scattered around the place but with this list you really give shape to the new album. Thanks
