[Super Yo]

It's the blackout
We need to get the heck out
Of the city tonight
Cause here comes a meteorite
I'm down on my knees
Asking God please
Cause it's a blackout tonight
But we're going to be alright

Yea yea yea beautiful soul yea yea yes yea oooooooooo

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us

God that seems almost to real.

I'm on a bike in Central Park
Hey, why is everything getting dark

3 minutes of Edge and Adam
-U2, The Blackout

 

[Herco]

Yes. Not the blackout.

 

[popacrobat]

Is this "The Blackout" intro?

I remember those attending the video shoot saying that this was not the Blackout.

Clearly they don't know what's going on either.

Didn't the U2.com emails about the Special Announcement not come until around early afternoon (US Central Time)? I would think it would probably be something similar if it's today.

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

I think some of us were expecting a midnight release, announcement or website change over. Still plenty of time in the day.

Unless those are lyrics to the Black Out.

Yes, 1,5 hours left...
Tick tack

 

[mikal]

The emails look like they started between 11:30-11:45am Central Time yesterday, roughly an hour from now. Just a thought. Trying to remember past announcements, but I feel like they've always been late morning in the US.

 

[kabigon]

I've gotta use some tick tacks, just in case Edge delays the album again

 

[Registered Dude]

11 o'clack, tick tack!

 

[travelleru2]

Yeah wouldnt mind a Tick Tac [emoji23][emoji23]

Don't shoot the messenger here. I'm only reposting probable bullshit from Valencia.

They just posted on Facebook -
How do you feel about Tuesday afternoon? We are about to start a #u2 show with many nerves!! #U2theblackout

One reply on the post from a German fan, Alexander Weber said -
great intro... epic tune

That is all. Just passing it along.

 

[womanfish]

you'd think since it is in a U2 song title they could at least pull that one off...

I think they were referring to the Moody Blues song.

The Blackout, exciting and new
Come Aboard. We're expecting you.
And The Blackout, life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow, it floats back to you.

The Blackout soon will be making another run
The Blackout promises something for everyone
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.

And The Blackout won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
Yes The Blackout!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Aboard. It's The Blackout!!!!

 

[Northside]

I can't wait to blast the song. That surreal first listening experience that comes around all too rarely. Turn it up loud, captain.

Also. Safe to say that I was so relieved that the Blackout doesn't have any woo ooh's and plainly obvious sing alongchants without meaning.

Blackout just makes you wanna move your ass and jump and rock out. And the lyrics give you -that- feeling.

From U2start

Time to protect this house

Niiiiiice!!

 

[lazarus]

They're not going to release anything so late that the European media is sleeping through it.

The sweet spot for U.S. west and east coast + central European coverage has to be before 1pm eastern standard time, no?

 

[Sanchez]

Really hoping we hear a new U2 song today, or at least some news. Wondering if Dave Fanning would be playing this first since he usually does for new U2 material?

yeah I think if we don't see something in the next 2-3 hours, nothing will happen today.
