[SkeeK]

no it's not exciting cause i can't get it when everyone else can!

 

[Whats The Story?]

Listening now....pretty good so far!

 

[Whats The Story?]

Initial thoughts....fresh sounding, beautiful, interesting (the song veers musically quite a bit throughout) I really liked one part where there was some choice vocal distortion Must listen more for further analysis

 

[Foxxern]

I got it! Listening to it now!!!

 

[Zargo]

Beautiful atmospheric piano intro, song progresses into verse with several tempo changes, then into the chorus that we?re all familiar with from the u2.com video clip. Tempo changes in verses sound a little unnatural; a little cut and paste. Weird opera like wail in the middle bridge of the song. Is that Bono? Song ends very quietly, unlike to grand build up electrical storm. Organs, piano, guitar, light violins, and subtle synthesizers beeps & noise make up the instrumentation of the song.

Overall I would say this song is an average U2 song, but should work well in the context of the movie. I liked TGBHF better, but that may change after more listens. I think some fans will dislike this song though

 

[kobayashi]

its great

i am impressed.

didn't think i would be based on the glimpse we got.

 

[Foxxern]

I'm sharing it on NewMedia, filename is:
U2SEVILLA - The Hands That Built America.mp3

 

[The Wanderer]

I think I like it, actually, but it's too early to tell how much

 

[SkeeK]

dah i thought i was getting it, but it won't transfer

anyone have msn and would be willing to send it to mumad@home.com ? or post it to a binary newsgroup or something

 

[Kristie]

I'm liking it... esp the marimba thing
Course I'm easy to please
but yes, I'm sure there will be many who don't

 

[pinkfloyd]

i don't feel drums , and it is still very lame and too much from Madonna .
it's alright song , but Bruce did much better job with something like this ( Streets Of Philadelphia ) .


...... 5 mins later after second playing





well it's ok song , irish pop rock , Bono Loves Corrs !!!!!
i'm confused , very ......
what's that opera -alike voice before the end
??????

 

[The Wanderer]

Yes, I like this song a lot. I'm very pleased. This song could easily get them a nominaton at the Oscars for its connection with The Gangs of New York

 

[Hallelujah Here She Comes]

dah i thought i was getting it, but it won't transfer

anyone have msn and would be willing to send it to mumad@home.com ? or post it to a binary newsgroup or something

I'll try to send it to you. So don't get freaked out when "Gina" starts randomly sending you messages.

All I can say is WOW...Beautiful piano intro with which I believe violins. When the chorus starts and after Bono says America I hear someone sort of whispering I don't know who it is (I think Bono) or what is being said. If you hear it with headphones you'll hear it on your left ear. The second chorus the samething but I think "the journey is, the journey is" is being said. I don't know why but it sounds like Leonardo DiCaprio's voice...maybe not, too early to tell.
Overall, I love it! I can't stop playing it.
Will definitely get an Oscar Nomination and hopefully win.

 

[SkeeK]

I'll try to send it to you.

i just had a msn related message pop up but i was typing and i accidentally pressed space and seomthing happened. not sure if i just disallowed you from talking to me or something

 

[pinkfloyd]

ok i like it too , after all this song is about me

 

[The Wanderer]

i have it up on newmedia too, my connection is dsl so you should get it rather fast from me
