Let's hear it for Beach Sequence

What a beautiful piece of music this is. Definitely one of the gems from Original Soundtracks.

and the way it flows into Miss Sarajevo

Also worth mentioning is that Bono plays piano on this one, and does a very nice job.

so I'm having a hard time believing that he couldn't handle some of the small keyboard parts on songs.

 

[Hemlock]

Yeah, this is a really fine track! It's one of those "repeat" songs you can play over and over again when you're in the right mood.

 

[shart1780]

Ohhhh I love this song. It's so relaxing... I could just drift off to sleep while listening to it

 

[lardence]

YAY! At last some appreciation for this tune, I love it! Yes, Bono's one-finger piano is very impressive.

 

[1stepcloser]

yeh i was wondering if it was Bono on piano or not. sounds like he's better at piano than he is on guitar. Then again, my grandma is probably better on guitar than he is

 

[Aardvark747]

Bono's finest piano moment!

Didn't he play on Sweetest Thing, during Elevation?

I think Bono's just one of those people who have a hard time doing two things at a time. I think he's probably actually a pretty good guitar player just not while trying to sing as well.

I know people who are amazing guitar players but can't play and sing to save their lives.

Lol, Bono's piano was one-fingered so don't get too excited As for his guitar, well he said the only way to get Edge to play the guitar is for Bono to pick it up and try to play, and then Edge is like "Um, maybe I'll just take that..." Lol!

 

[Max_theHitman]

...that music is...is...what a trip....
pass the tequila bottle.

 

[shart1780]

LOL Bono's great but he does seem to be rather inept physically. He can't sing and play the guitar, play the piano and play guitar... and he definitely can't play sports.

I'd hate to see Bono get in a fight *shudders*.

 

[Sanchez]

Beautiful song, one of my favs on Passengers.

Seemingly Bono is meant to have quite a headbutt

 

[U2girl]

"The Edge tried to knock me out a few times. The headbutt is my specialty." - Bono

Also, a magazine (was it NME?) had a Q&A interview with the band and the question was asked who would win in a fight. Adam, Larry and Edge said "Bono".

 

[1stepcloser]

he rather sounds like the traditional 'fightin irishman'

 

[babyman]

It's the best intro Miss Sarajevo could have.......................

 

[lardence]

And Larry!

Secondly, never get into a fight with Mullen because he's always got backup. "He might not necessarily thump you," Bono explains, "but you never know who's around the corner."
