4th of July Appreciation Thread

[Infinity]

Great Song. Great Album. Discuss.

I love that album and that song is crucial in sustaining the album's ambient tendencies.

Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois are geniuses.

I even think their less is more production on ATYCLB is good as well.

I appreciate the 4th Of July too ... with family barbecues and
AWESOME fireworks !!
Oh wait ... you meant the song ... didn't you ??

 

[MsMofoGone]

Okay ... actually I like this tune ...
It's rather eerie and mysterious ... the perfect intro before Bad !!

 

[MumblingBono]

There is not a single song note that I would want to take away from that entire album.

In fact, I might start an Elvis Presley and America thread!

Threats and warnings be damned

Album is absolutely genious. Not one bad song on it, well there's actually the song Bad on it but that's really good as is the whole album. I think the most underrated album in thier catalogue. I would be happy if U2 would play the whole album in it's entirety.

you poor POOR man...

 

[Nisse]

one of my favourite U2 "songs" (?), wish U2 would do more instrumentals

 

[Irishteen]

The album is perfect therefore the song is perfect, favourite u2 album, Unforgettable Fire forever

 

[-macphisto-]

One of U2's greatest instrumentals, I can put that song on repeat and listen to it over and over again, I love it!

 

[the tourist]

It fits nicely. It would have been amazing if it flowed directly in from Promenade (without even a track break).

 

[MacPhistoPT]

Good instrumental but means nothing to me. Although I have to agree with MsMofoGone; it's the perfect intro to Bad

 

[Zoots]

you poor POOR man...

 

[boystupidboy]

Where's Ibiza?

Its a small island in the med,just off the coast of Spain

 

[boystupidboy]

you poor POOR man...

please explain that comment

It's rather eerie and mysterious ...

I agree.

It's spookily nostalgic for me. When I first (?) heard it in '95, I was instantly taken back to my childhood around the time the album was released. But I've no idea where I would have heard it back then.

This reminds me....during a 3hr documentary on Live Aid the other nite here in the UK, whilst the narrator was telling us "On the morning of the day of the concert......." 4th of July was used as the background music.
