can somebody make a mp3 of it cos i can't see the video?

 

[starsgoblue]

10 whole seconds?

 

[starsgoblue]

I didn't mean to sound mean...but that is a teeny clip and in the course of a few years I am sure it's totally different sounding....

 

[AussieU2fanman]

Better than zero whole seconds

 

[starsgoblue]

True I suppose.... The sounds not working for me though...I've got the video and no sound....damn karma

 

[blindinglights]

how do you know this is original of the species???

 

[AussieU2fanman]

Because of the lyrics corresponding with the lyircs reported in the Australian report on the album.

 

[Lo-Fi]

That video goes back to ATYCLB times, I'm sure the song has moved on since then (I hope so, it's ANOTHER mid-tempo song!!). Where are the rock 'n' roll songs you promised Bono!!

 

[blindinglights]

oh very cool. i wonder how much it has changed from then to now.

 

[shaun vox]

the rock n roll songs can be found on AB! go buy that album

 

[The_Edge89]

I've made that one into a mp3 just a couple of days ago.

[Aardvark747]

I like the sound of that one..

Hmmm... I would say that about 90% of U2 songs could be qualified as "mid-tempo". Upbeat does not equal rock anyways. And rock songs on HTDAAB? What about Vertigo, ABOY and LAPOE? They certainly fit my description of rock n' roll... from what I've heard of them. You can like or dislike Vertigo, but it's without a doubt on the the 'rockiest' song they've ever recorded... And it's a damn good rock song IMO.

But you are right in any case, this is an old clip, and the song might have changed quite a bit anyways.

 

[ADecentMelody]

It's definitely a decent melody. U2fanman, where are you connecting the lyrics? Which article?

I really like this...without it being literal, it contains that U2 ache we've come to like so much.

 

[Sleep Over Jack]

Its quite Beatle-ish...this is the kind of song (by the clip anyway) that quality-wise, was needed in the 2ndhalf of ATYCLB.

 

[FullonEdge2]

Remember that in the interviews OoTS is describes as the song most resembling atyclb.

I really want to hear this song. The Beatles comparisons are making me very curious.

 

[caragriff]

which preview/review was it that mentioned a song that sounded like george martin could have produced it?
you guys are so right. there is a totally beatles-influenced sound on this.
i love bono's singing in this clip. even if the song has changed a million degrees from this, you know it will have that type of vocal.
so much diversity on this cd--it is getting better with every snippet, leak, clip, bootleg........

 

[caragriff]

oh wait, here it is from Uncut:

ORIGINAL OF THE SPECIES
If George Martin produced U2, it might sound something like this, with it's "I Am The Walrus" strings and Beatlesque ambience. "Baby slow down, please stay a child in your heart," Bono sings in an intriguing lyric.

 

[tkramer]

OMG!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST U2 HAVE EVER SOUNDED!!! THIS ALBUM WILL RAWK!!! I CRIED AND CRIED AND THEN I WET MYSELF!!!! TEN SECONDS OF HEAVEN SLICED AND DOWNLOADED TO MY DESKTOP!!!

Yeah, I am not even going to listen to ten seconds that was recorded years ago. Might not even sound the same now. Give me a real clip.

 

[drivemytrabant]

*HOLDING SELF BACK* Not going to listen...

 

[Peter]

beatles where the first band i thought about when i heard the sound. so I agree with sleep over jack...

 

[Paul Vox]

I remember this on 60 minutes...sounds like a very early version.

 

[boosterjuice]

Congrats Herco!

I'll be joining you soon.

I was going to say this! That was my first impression too. It wounds very Beatle-like.
