A work-related perk! I work at a radio station and the Universal rep came by today. They know I play in a U2 tribute band so they were cool with me sitting in and hearing it. She took the CD with her so no, I don't have an MP3! (I somehow resisted conking her on the head so I could steal it.)

Mmmmm I like that this is the second review stating that it's not a "back to basics" a la Vertigo/Beautiful Day. I'm also really looking forward to that breakdown/bridge part.

Folks, if he was "in a situation like Alan Cross," that means a record company rep let him listen to the song twice. That's it. Can we please keep the email posting to one thread?

Thank you so much man.
Any comment on the lyrics? Do they avoid cheese/bono-ism? Does the song mean anything?

And yes, I can confirm it is indeed Beach Clip 3, although it may be a different mix/arrangement.

I'm joining, we're setting up a radio station too right?
I'm sure if we can do it within the next week we'll hear the song before everyone else here

So skott - did the Universal Rep say when your station can officially play the new song? Is it indeed 1/19?

We will be known as Sexy Boots, and our radio station will be called GOYB 106.1.

So, is the 19th the firm radio release date?
How awesome for you, thanks for the description.

The lyrics struck me as less forced than the last couple albums. More conversational and a little impressionistic at times. I didn't hear any reference to "kneeling" or "soul" that jumped out at me, so that should relieve a lot of you!
