That would be a beautiful lyric. 'Walk out into the sea/With your heart out.'It could be, that's just what it's labeled as here. 'Walk out into the sea' is an extremely Biblical image, very U2.
Make it so.

Agree on #3... I guess it needs good hifi sound and powerfull bass to enjoy better. But man... I repeat myself but song 4 is the best I have listened from U2 in loooong time. It is pure U2, and bono and the edge as its best!!!!
I just realized that adam's bass in http://media.u2.com/flash/highlights/adam_fans.swf is the last part of song2
Edited: I meant song2 instead of song3
Good call. The awesome part about that is it takes a very good song and takes it in a completely different, but still great, direction. It's those kind of 180 degree turns that will set this album apart from HTDAAB.

And don't forget Bono's voice a few seconds before that track cuts off (dear God let there be another 45 seconds or more on the album version). He sounds amazing there. Simply amazing.
Well I sort of listened but I'm at work so I cant turn it up.
Cant wait to get home and see what the sexy boots are all about.
Haha, yeah, Bono definitely didn't toss these vocals on at the last second. As long as the setlists are good, this tour is going to be one of the best in a long time, or at least the 00's, because he is in GREAT voice at the moment.
I think what we're hearing is definitely just about finished. The arrangement is very good, the song takes the appropriate turns, and it peaks where it should, right near the end.
My assumption is that the songs Bono played are in the bag. They probably have a little work to do on a few tracks, but I doubt those are being aired right now.
I think the album is all done except for (just a guess) mastering and packaging, so I have little doubt that these songs are probably mixed and ready to go. But I'm not sure if we're at the "OMG THE EDGE IS ON FIRE LET ME PUT THE NEW CD DOWN AND GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER...OOPS WHERE DID THE CD GO" stage yet.

I hope we are soon! of course that happened in, what, July? And we didn't get a leak til not very long before the album was out
It's also really cool to see how the U2.com clips fit into these tracks (Edge's guitar in Only Love chorus, Adam's bass in WOITS outro, etc.). Makes me appreciate the video clips a lot more now.
oooohhhhh yessssss this moment when everything stops and slide guitar starts with great bono's voice following it... it reminds me a bit the pause before misterious way's edge's solo (live)After a couple of listens I like them all, but four sounds like the real classic to me. I'd give my right leg to hear the last half of that song performed live.
I guess the first clip IS no line on the horizon based on the prior clip and guitar solo.
The only set of clips I can remember sounding better than this was the summer 2006 clips recorded when the band was with Rick Rubin.
Speaking of which, it makes me sad that we probably won't hear I Believe and All My Life at any point in the future...those were both really strong songs, particularly the former, which contained some AMAZING guitar work from Edge.
I was thinking the same thing, but I'm not entirely sure.
