"GONE" is like a "DRUG"....

[Addicted To Bad]

What´s the deal with GONE ??
For the very first time you don´t like it....
Next, you feel there´s something....hum.... and then, after watching it in Elevation Boston you are...f..

What´s the best antidote for it ????

"You´re holding on to every little thing so tightly
ill there´s nothing left for you anyway..."

Gone is SUCH a good song. It's so-ooo great, I don't know WHAT I'm supposed to do after I listen TO it. What do YOU do, hmm ??

"...but what you leave behind you don't miss anyway"

 

[vaz02]

I hate the added effects on the album version, just ruins the song. Maybe someone with some sort of musical knowledge could tell me what that is.

So true

How to make the ultimate version of Gone:

Vocals from "Best of" version
Edge vocals in middle-8 from "Pop" version
Edge's "dowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn"
Bonos piano from "Pop" version
The solo at the end of the Elevation Boston version
Guitar from the "Best of" version

Bake at 350 degrees for 2 hours and serve cold with a twist of lemon.

Why? Are we not allowed to dislike a song from first listen?

Sometimes you people make me go and but mostly...

People of the world, do not let someone who sings and dances to Delilah all day long call you
This is nothing but a cry for hugs from him

The original poster made the statement, "For the first time you don't like it..." as if that was a given around here.

So I replied with a "how could you not like it at first listen".

Like, "how could you not like chocolate?" "How could you not like beer?" etc. etc.

Surely you've heard someone use this before...

Haha yes but... well, first of all I thought you were questioning Elfa's post. Anyway, even if you were responding to the OP, it doesn't make sense. "How could you not like it at first listen?"?? Why not? Does everybody have to like Gone from first listen? lol... Unless I'm not understanding what you meant..

... I think I know what you mean. !!..

.. and all I want to say to you is:

" YOU´RE TAKING STEPS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL DIZZY"..

 

[BVS]

Maybe, it's an 'expression' you haven't heard used before,

It's not meant to be a literal question.

 

[Harry Vest]

Gone is in my personal Top 10 of U2 songs. I really wish they'd get back to that kind of dark emotion with the new album but something tells me those days are over. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[cobl04]

I adored it from listen #1

oh.. I forgot the most important part of my advice for you:

" THEN YOU LEARN TO LIKE THE WAY IT FEELS.."

 

[phillyfan26]

Is this LEGIT ??

 

[MrPryck2U]

I've been in love with Gone since I first heard it 11 years ago. I actually prefer the POP! version.

 

[waynetravis]

Gone is brilliant.!!

I have the New Mix on my phone, so when people call me I hear:

"da..dun..dun..dun............***SCREACH***!!"
