No you can't! Unless it's held under water .

No you can't! Unless it's held under water .

But we have so much gasoline!

Maybe it's held at the harbour

Anyone like that the lyrics to the song are actually kind of political

I can't figure out the meaning of the lyrics to be honest.

A tiny thing like Bono mentioning Palestine is creating controversy in FYM

Gasoline/Submarine rhyme makes me think of the US war in Iraq personally and a couple of other lyrics spring to mind as being war related.

I saw that. I don't understand the controversy when MLK's dream was that we could all one day be judged by the content of our character. Isn't that the dream of people in every country? That's Bono's point.

I wonder if the song goes back to The Fly and ZooTV? The media adding flash to such horror and terror?

Lyrically and musically in a way it certainly does sound like it could be from back then, to me it sounds like what U2 might have recorded if Pop was a hit.

The weird thing is this sound has better production than Vertigo, despite the fact that it has more going on. Vertigo just tried to hard to be "four men" making music and came off as forced rawness (in studio), while Boots uses it's extra production really well.

Interesting thought there.

Yeah, it certainly isn't back to the basics. It's funny that in several ways this is exactly what ETYKIW has been screaming for.

I don't get the comparisons to Vertigo and Elevation though, well I sorta do but if we're gonna include those songs we might as well compare it to Even Better Than, The Fly, Discotheque etc. Anyway lyrically it kicks Vertigo's ass and all the add stuff just makes it so great.

Seriously if the rest of the album is like this (production wise and with the experimental nature) I'm going to love it.


I wonder if the song will be a hit though

 

[pgv]

guys, nearing the new thread! quickest one all year?!

I don't get that either. Especially Elevation.

I really think this is going to be a special album.

I wonder if there is just too much going on in the song for it to be a hit, you know?

 

[Screwtape2]

Hi Emma.

Yeah, who wants to make the new thread?

 

[Babydoll]

It's kind of a no brainer as to what the title will be

 

[Screwtape2]

Yep.

 

[Babydoll]

Justin do you HAVE to be the top poster in every thread or what?

 

[pgv]

... Is it? Oh come on now we can't be THAT predictable

Some variation on boots, at least.

Me too, I mean if this is the first single the rest of the album must be even crazier

I think the fact that U2 are guaranteed radio play will help, this would never be a hit for any other band (well maybe Coldplay, or Chili Peppers or someone that big) but the fact that it will be played on radio could give it a chance

 

[pgv]

Hey John.

So - who's listened to Boots the most then?!

 

[Screwtape2]

Hey John.

So - who's listened to Boots the most then?!

According to iTunes, I've listened to it straight through 25 times.

 

[Babydoll]

That's not an answer

33 times Although you have slept so I have an advantage

 

[Screwtape2]

I'd reply but I don't want to add to my post count.


...oh, wait.

Not being that predictable is too predictable, I say we do the unexpected and do the predictable

 

[Babydoll]

Good point, Le` John

So, not Fairies Wear Boots by Black Sabbath then?

 

[waynetravis]

Sorting out our trip

We can have a boots theme until something else happens

Did you guys here the song I did with my friend that I posted yesterday?
