....but not better than Heartland!

U2girl said:When I listened to the album for the first time, I expected COBL to blow me away because so many here raved about it. My initial reaction was that it was copying Streets.
BUT, it has grown on me, and it is one of HTDAAB's strongest songs - I don't know that it would make it into my top 10. The only thing I could miss is the "ooooh oooooh" before the chorus.

I'm beginning to think HTDAAB has three potential classic songs: Sometimes, Original of the species and City of blinding lights.
I have yet to see where they fit in my top 10 U2 songs...

No.

Yeah I hated that line from the first time I heard it, and it really winds me up when he sings it 3 times in a row near the end.

I highly recommend you stop listening to HTDAAB or bother replying to these threads. Because of listening to what I consider the best song on the album "winds you up", clearly you need to stop torturing yourself.
God bless!

aren't they u2?
jick said:A few weeks ago before the album came out and a bootlegged version of City Of Blinding Lights emerged, everyone was quick to jump over it.
"A U2 epic right up there with Streets."
"Definitely among my top three U2 songs of all time."
"So beautiful I didn't think U2 still could write a song such as this."
