Hawkmoon 269

[thetitans2k]

I love this song. I dont think it gets enough appreciation on this forum. Its unreal.

HAWKMOON I need your love.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I love this song. So sexy and so many layers, from the drums to the choir singers to the build up at the end of the song.

I posted this question on an "it's a musical journey' thread, but I don't think anyone responded.

Anybody know WHAT the choir's singing at the end of the song?

 

[Numb1075]

good question

I hear: "In the heart of it, of a love"

but i know i am wrong.

 

[gareth brown]

Great song, one I come back to every once in a while and just think 'Excellent'

And the heat of love in the heart
And the heat of love in the heart
And the heat of love in the heart
And the heat of love in the heart

Ect..

My favorite part is when Bono starts screaming "LIKE A THUNDER NEEDS RAIN, LIKE SOMEONE TO BLAME, LIKE A SOMETHING OR SOMETHING....etc."

yeah, that part.

 

[phanan]

One of my all-time favorites.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

One of the best U2 songs ever. Also one of my all time favorites. If there is a top 5 U2 list for me than this song is there for sure. There's nothing in it that I don't love.

[kennerado]

Great Lovetown opener.

 

[scottyT]

this is by far one of the band's finest moments, it's got everything.... including screaming Bono.

And the heat of love in the heart
And the heat of love in the heart
And the heat of love in the heart
And the heat of love in the heart

Ect..

Sounds right.

 

[Aardvark747]

Like a drifter needs a room....Hawkmoon, I need your love

 

[MsMofoGone]

The best song on Rattle n Hum ...


When the night has no end ...
And the day yet to begin ...
As the room spins around ...
I need your love ...
I need your love ...

 

[Aardvark747]

The best song on Rattle n Hum ...

I wouldnt go THAT far MsMofo.......

 

[MsMofoGone]

I wouldnt go THAT far MsMofo.......

Oh I forgot ... should I have added "after Heartland" ??

 

[joerags]

One of Bono's best written songs. The entire song is similies that are so hard-driven.

Like a preacher needs pain....

 

[chrissybaby]

Great, great concert opener. That sydney documentry where the bird is flying and all the shots of kings cross gives me the chills. One of my fave U2 moments EVER!

Just HATE the shit stain lyric though...pleased it was replaced live!

 

[Regina]

I always heard the chorus as singing "In the heart of a deeper love," though I wouldn't bet that I'm right. I like the layer that gives to the song, though.

 

[ruffian]

i love this song so much that even reading the snippets of the lyrics posted makes me hyper (and gives me the strange longing to strip off all my clothes )

Funny you should say that,

I always though it was SHEET stain until I heard a live version (melbourne) where he seems to sing Shit.

 

[marietta]

yeah!!

let's see...

The five Rattle&Hum masterpieces


Hawkmoon... this song got me hooked since the first listening. It's a masterpiece and it's extremely overlooked, they were trully inspired when they made this song. Especially Bono...

In the version on R and H. There is no doubt that he says "sheet stain." which might make more sense, Im not sure.

I would.
