I figure this would be the best place to put this...
Was wondering what are the highest notes Bono hits on this album.
Some that come to mind are in MOS... "I've BEEN in every black hole" etc,
Also at the end of Breathe's chorus, where he sings "BRE-EATHE now"
 
I'm guessing in the bridge of NLOTH...especially the alternative version.

"The songs in your head are now on my mind
You put me on pause
I’m trying to rewind and replay"
 
I think the last "Only love" in Magnificent is a contender for that. At least it's higher than the other ones in the song.
 
NLOTH "Rewiiiiiiind"=A

there is a B in that last "only" in Magnificent, it goes ("on-"A to "ly"B)

MOS= he hits a bunch of A's

Breathe= Ne-ed and Breathe go from B to A.

The vocalizing (Oh-Oh's) in Being Born also hits an A (actually "Oh"-G to "Oh"-A)
 
Sorry I was a bit unclear in my original post. What I meant was what NOTES (eg A, B, G#) the high notes are in various songs on the album. U2DMFan has given a good answer. The verses in MOS sound quite high...
 
The notes on NLOTH

There are alot of them on the album, any note specialist who can confirm how high the notes that I have underscore:

NLOTH
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh oh oh oh oh oh ho"

"The songs in your HEEEEEAD are now on my MIND
You put me on pause
I’m trying to REWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID and replay"


MOS
"I tied myself with WIIREEEE"

"We set ourselves on FIIREEEE"

"I’ve been in every black hole"

"It’s not a hill, it’s a MOUNTAAAAAAAAIN"

Listen for me, I’ll be SHOUUUUUTING"

Would have been great if Bono had contnuine to hold the shouting note a bit more and gone one step higher. Sounds to me like he is very near the high C?




Breathe
There’s nothing you have that I NEEEEEEEEEED
I can breathe
BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATHE now

Sounds like an B to me in "Need" and Breathe
 
For me the most powerful "note" on the album was the "get away" in NLOTH. It may have just been added reverb though to make it sound so epic.
 
You have completely forgot about Magnificent! Lots of high notes to look at there. I think the highest note is the "Rewind" on NLOTH, but I'm not certain of that. For me, the "Oh oh" in the beginning of Being Born is the most powerful vocally IMO.
 
Peterrr - the highest notes in the 4 songs you mentioned are - A, A, A, B. Magnificent's highest is also a B which he does near the end of the song, as is the YOU don't know in get on your boots.

All of you have to listen to the last note(EEEEEEN) in the word SHOUTING :) He sound like UF Bono, very young in the sound.

Is this where he screaches? There is more to singing than high notes. What about phrasing?

Would have been great if Bono had contnuine to hold the "shouting" note a bit more and gone one step higher. Sounds to me like he is very near the high C?
