Where will "Mercy" show up?

[Sleep Over Jack]

Is it possible it could be part of the limited edition as a ghost track maybe? or perhaps they want to make the SYCMIOYO single a real event and pack (whats said to be) a brilliant song with a great b-side. I'm dying to hear this song as much as any of the album tunes.



Thoughts?

I'm betting it will be the b-side to Sometimes.

I'm feeling pretty srue that this song will show up in a single not too long from now. Either SYCMIOYO or the next one.

 

[Sleep Over Jack]

It seems strange that a 5-minute song thats probably had a lot of effort put into it won't be on the new album...maybe they will save it for the next album? (if there is one?)

 

[ramblin rose]

If you read the story in Band Meetings from U2SJ you can tell that Bono is really high on this song. I don't think they'll hold this until the next album. This will be released on one of these singles.

 

[kristbg]

Hmmmm, I think I lost something... where did that title come from? An interview? Press release?

 

[Murray]

Blender mentioned it as a 6 minute pouring of U2 fluids or something like that.

Anyway, I am thinking if it isn't a hidden track (which would be unlikely since we haven't heard anything from any review about that), it will probably be edited down to 3 minutes and become a really really good B-side.

I recall that..I just hope it doesn't become some "lost song" we never hear the band mention again!

I dont see why they would edit it down for a b-side. I mean, they almost put the full 6-minute verison on the album.

i'm thinking it is "ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT FOR EVER" with different lyrics and more music.

As soon as I hear AYGWF I'll tell you what i think.

Definitely. I can't wait!

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Maybe it'll be the real 25th anniversary single. Since we're not supposed to guess the b-sides. Maybe this'll be a standalone single with other b-sides. Dunno.

I'd like that!

 

[ramblin rose]

Do you think it will be available on the Digital Box Set?

I might actually download this if this song was on it. It's pathetic.

 

[ZigZag]

They were going to put it on "Bomb", but Edge lost the CD it was on.

Oh Mercy!!!

 

[intedomine]

Might not turn up on anything, but im thinking Miracle Drug single.


I hope we have a b side that is pure instrumental....

 

[gorman]

Mercy is not AYGWF, and it's not lost. Bono called it the "best b-side you've ever heard." I suspect it will be on the next single, and also probably part of the digital box set. This is all speculation, but I'm pretty confident in it.

Here's hoping we hear it soon!

i know nothing about this song somebody tell me some info on it!
