I finally found why I think it sounds like a The Killers song. Their song "Tidal Wave" just came up on my shuffle and immediately I realized it sounds quite similar to EBW. Soundwise and lyrically.

I don't hear it at all, really, and it doesn't feel like 1/4 of the beautiful song that EBW does. I like some Killers stuff but Tidal Wave doesn't do a thing for me.

Man, I listened to that Killers song and the only common thing with Every Breaking Wave is the word Wave

The first line & last line of the song are identical - and the title of the song.
Not sure how rare that is.

The song starts with the lyric "Every breaking wave" and finishes the same way. I just found that unusual.

For me this is still the weakest song on the album

If anything, California sounds more like The Killers... not so much EBW which is closer to WOWY.

That's a bit like saying that every song with a piano in it sounds like Bridge over Troubled Water

Well, I was mainly talking about EBW's intro.

The first verse is
He’s always trouble with his noncomplacent
Shotgun eyes, shotgun eyes
His subtlety, his mystery
Not like the other guys

There it is! They ripped off The Troubles from the Killers!

It also sounds like a slowed down version of Walk On for the last 2 minutes. Not kidding.

I don't know why anybody thinks this song bears any resemblance to WOWY. I hear it more as a Bullet/Walk On/The Killers/Katrina and The Waves love child of a song.

We're sorry to hear that, but there are Audiologist in every major town, and most are covered under your insurance.

I didn't read back that many pages so not sure what the consensus is on this song but for me it stands out above the others. Maybe because we heard the earlier iterations of the song but this seems so finished, whether dm or the others they,knock it out of the park. This song reminds me how much I love this band. For me it somehow connects the dots of songs like ASOH, STREETS, LIB, MOS... Just crazy about this song

Beautiful song. My favorite along with Iris I think.

One of our local Tribute bands just put out their version. They always do a good job.

Acoustic session EBW
Got the physical album yesterday and let me just say I loved the stripped down acoustic version more than the polished up one.
There was just so much gravitas, depth and punch...and that voice.
Dammit U2, not everything has to be radio-friendly polished!
My two cents only but I think you'll be impressed by the acoustic version!
