If WITS is any indication of the new album,

[Joey788]

If the new U2 album sounds similar to Window in the Skies, what older songs do you think would fit with it?

Some songs I see working well with it are The Sweetest Thing, maybe Staring at the Sun, Stay, Ultraviolet, A Sort of Homecoming, and The Unforgettable Fire.

Possibly a Window in the Skies -> Streets segue? That'd be interesting.

 

[Pero]

the fly->window in the sky

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

nothing would work.......

 

[Jeef690]

Window in the Sky will probably not be played on the next tour OR not even be included in the next album. I think they have SOO much material they want in that Window in the Sky may be cut out.

 

[Galeongirl]

Jeef690, the song is named Window in the SkiES, not sky...

I thought about a WITS - Streets combination too... I've had WITS on repeat in itunes, and it is fluently going from end to beginning, but I think it could be extended in a streets into

 

[Zoots]

I like Window In The Skies but hope the new album doesn't sound that light and airy.

 

[U2_Refugee]

window in the skies - Bono- " a psychedelic (sorry my spelling is terrible,) pop song"
Zootlesque- i agree
im hoping for more heavier stuff like elevation. even though im totally loving wits!

 

[vaz02]

If you u2 are gonna do something do it right. I dont care if its pop or rock as long as they do it right.

 

[coolian2]

Window In The Skies --> Beautiful Day piano intro

 

[vaz02]

Window In The Skies ---------> New years Day

If you u2 are gonna do something do it right. I dont care if its pop or rock as long as they do it right.

Yes I agree But I hope they do something a little different too...

 

[U2_Refugee]

if you read the article...about what bono said, hes not sure. im just hoping its not an album based on acoustic music

 

[The OOTS]

I hope they retire WITS for the next tour.

 

[Utoo]

I hope they retire WITS for the next tour.

I can see that. Listening to/watching boots from Japan, it didn't really seem to work live. I was psyched to have them play it, but there's no fire in the current live version.

 

[mandrake]

I think they could make it work live if they tried. I could see it as a closer to the main set list in the next tour.

 

[U2_Refugee]

i liked hearing it in hawaii

 

[Jeannieco]

Ya, in Hawaii it sounded better than all the other songs quality-wise and technically speaking. It was cripser and clearer whereas until that point the songs all sounded muddy. Bono's words were clearer to.....I am not implying that this was canned or anything... but did anybody else notice that in Hawaii? It was weird. I wasn't sitting in the best spot, we were directly on the side of the stage not in front. I love this song, it grows on me everytime I hear it.

 

[tonyhotland]

just short. I dont want anything that sounds like WITS in the new album.. Boring

 

[MacPhistoPT]

WITS it's one of the worst songs U2 ever done. I really hope it isn't any kind of indication for anything...

 

[U2_Refugee]

are you serious?
its a great song it grew on me!
just hoping for rockier stufff!

 

[CTU2fan]

I think if they decided to do a Lightning Seeds medley in the next tour they could slip WITS in, and no one would notice.

 

[roy]

WITS it's one of the worst songs U2 ever done. I really hope it isn't any kind of indication for anything...

No.

 

[MacPhistoPT]

No.

Yes.

Awful lyrics, weak and boring melody, ridiculous and cheesy chorus and embarassing "oh-oh's". That's not the definition of a good U2 song I guess.
