Song of the day 26-08-05: Miracle drug

[Cassis]

miracle drug

I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven’t said
And see what you might see

I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out

Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby’s head

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I’ve seen enough, I’m not giving up
On a miracle drug

Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit

I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I’ve had enough of romantic love
I’d give it up, yeah, I’d give it up
For a miracle drug, a miracle drug
A miracle drug

Oh God, I need your help tonight

Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It’s whispering
In science and in medicine
I was a stranger
You took me in

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I’ve had enough of romantic love
I’d give it up, yeah, I’d give it up
For a miracle drug, for a miracle drug

Miracle, miracle drug

 

[Exit thru Wire]

Best HTDAAB song (with L+POE).

Doesnt really get going until after the second chorus tho. Edges vocal is awesome on this song. Its the type of song that is easily accessible and its the type of song that could and should be a single.

I also love the live versions, and find them to be an improvement on the album

 

[SiW87]

U2's greatest song in my opinion.

Bold statement.

 

[shaun vox]

its a good song!! but bonos voice

 

[2861U2]

U2's all-around best song since "Gone"

 

[babyman]

it's good to hear edge singing again. i really miss a "full edge song", but it's fantastic to hear his solo voice. great tune probably one of the ever best ones. should be the next single

 

[Aardvark747]

Lovely song

 

[MsMofoGone]

I'm actually starting to like this song more and more ... every time I hear it !!
Which is surprising ... since I only like 2 other songs from HTDAAB !!

 

[MacPhistoPT]

Great song, it used to be my favourite on HTDAAB when it came out. Now I don't like it so much because it is too much like other U2 songs but it's a really lovely and touching song.

when does edge sing??

 

[Irishteen]

Great song, which really is brillant in the last minute

 

[2861U2]

Edge sings the, "Beneath the noise..." part

 

[MacPhistoPT]

Edge sings the, "Beneath the noise..." part

yeah, you guys are right... I've never realized that. Edge has such a great voice and very close to Bono's voice I think

Blasphemer !



Miracle Drug is an excellent song. I rank it in the top 30% of all of U2's work.

 

[Chizip]

one of my favorite U2 songs

 

[starvinmarvin]

its a good song!! but bonos voice

Whatever...its a great vocal performance. What's wrong with it?

 

[Numb1075]

Whatever...its a great vocal performance. What's wrong with it?

shaunvox just likes to stir the pot...if it's not "heavy" or doesn't have Slash on lead guitar, he doesn't like it

the most controversial lyric in the album.

the most controversial lyric in the album.

There are at least 100 worse lines in all the U2's catalog. I can't understand the hate for that one...
