Is this the same song as in the beach clip? I can't tell cause I only listeners to it once, because anyone who thinks they can make an opinion on the song off a beach clip is a crazy person

But seriously though, is this the same song?

That was a little more than a private party ;)


Oh of course but that's the normal U2 kind of weird. I mean it wouldn't be the first time, right.
But allowing someone else to take away the first play of your new lead single is really strange. The main act should do that. Unless it's just a side project and U2 has bigger news coming up anyway. We'll see. But for now and unless U2 makes an announcement very soon, I'd say this is not the lead single.

Why are you stuck on this being something that was officially sanctioned? Guy could have just said fuck it and played it.
 
So Kygo is at the closing ceremony tomorrow... dare we hope?

That'd be some exposure!

Then I have no doubt that this is the single
There seemed to be two versions of the beach clip song.. One sounded more stripped back for the verse, but with the same dancefloor-ready chorus.. The other sounded like this remix.

But it may have been the same song all along, because beach

OK, forget what I said. This is the beach clip, in every form

Verses seem relatively untouched.. Effortless sounding, love that. Zoo Station verse riff/Real Thing vibe

Premiere during Rio closing ceremony tomorrow and subsequential download available on every online store. But it's U2, their logic works in mysterious ways...
 
They might as well release the song now if it's going to circulate like this.

This feels like a perfect scenario. Drop the single tomorrow night.
Release the album September 19th.

The lyrics, the best I could make out.

When you look so good, the pain in your face doesn't show
When you look so good, baby you don't even know
Well the world is ours, and every door smells of fresh paint
???????
Well we've seen enough... children... teach
When you're free enough to wake up on a bed or a beach

You're the best thing about me
The best thing that ever happened to boy
You're the best thing about me
I'm the kind of trouble that you enjoy
You're the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy
You're the best thing about me
Why am I?

????

Why am I walking away?
Why am I walking away?

I've been crying out.....???
Shooting off my mouth, that's another great thing about me
I've got everything, but I feel like nothing at all
It's a risky thing, for a man...tell him to call???

You're the best thing about me
The best thing that ever happened to boy
You're the best thing about me
I'm the kind of trouble that you enjoy
You're the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy
You're the best thing about me
Save me from myself

The best thing
The best thing

This is U2 seamlessly sneaking into the music scene of 2016. Certainly a Monster hit in Europe and probably the best performing song in the US since Beautiful Day. Crossover potential into pop AirPlay is tremendous.

Cool end. But lyrics different than 1st beach clip - missing the line "got a golden ring". Maybe beach clip is album and this is remix?

Part of me is frustrated with the idea of U2 attempting some massive publicity campaign again, this time via the Olympics, out of fear that it will once again go over like a lead zeppelin. But another part of me just wants the damn thing to be released tomorrow under any circumstances.
