Gonna Run 2 U

I get that but it is called Songs Of Experience right? Doesn't have to be in the present tense. Also from descriptions it's a beautiful song. Never know.

Interesting. I think Tidal's the only streaming service that actually announces future releases.(If true, hopefully it's not a streaming exclusive cause I'm not a fan of Tidal)
Listened to blackout easily 20 times now. Love the song, love the start, verse chorus and ending. Great tune
One negative for me so far is the lyrics of zach ,Ned and jack . These been added in just because they rhyme ? Think it would be better bono repeated back and said. I can handle jack as I've heard that used before but Ned and zach??

There's a U2 episode of Saved by the Bell?
Yes! And it's pretty good/nostalgic haha It's this one: "Saved by the Bell" All in the Mall (TV Episode 1991) - IMDb
EDIT: To clarify the band aren't in the episode but the cast are all waiting in a mall to buy U2 concert tickets. The tour isn't mentioned to my memory but it would've been for ZOO TV (it aired in 1991).

I've decided I can't listen to the song anymore. I hear "Jack" and immediately think of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. And I hear "Zach" and immediately think of slaveholder Zachary Taylor. We need to ban U2.

New two cents' worth thought:
The "when the lights go out" first line of the chorus is a similar melodic/lyrical line to The Best Thing's first line of the verse, "when you loook so good." Probably not intentional but maybe they're related/mirrored in some way (a poppy good times song and a dark bad times song).
That is all.

My two cents' conclusion :
Adam should be now officially paid extra by the other 3 members of U2.

I really want to hear a better recording of the song.
Song is really growing on me! Love the rhythm
This song will be the intro I'm sure of the 'Experience Tour'
Just think.....next arena tour (maybe stadium)......lights go off.....crowd cheers.....band goes on stage........that Edge intro goes off.....ERUPTION FROM THE CROWD
My wife made a good point about 'Black Out' yesterday and how it can tie with the Innocence album/tour. They had the metaphor/symbol of the light bulb turning on.....now with Experience its turned off (Black Out) ...pretty cool

Correct. Right or wrong, my favorite U2 songs are Edge dominant.

They should drop it on November 3rd, and do some promo immediately.

Correct.
Adam and Bono's vocals carried SOI, IMO, and it will be interesting to see if that's also the case with SOE.

I think the lyrics in Song For Someone "there is a light, don't let it go out" is possibly a reference to Blackout. SOI was about the light while SOE is about Blackout.
That's an excellent point.

So after about a dozen listens I'm very happy with this song. It feels less 'forced' than 'Boots' or 'The Miracle'. Those songs seem like they were trying 'rawk' and the feeling of those songs is they were trying to find a 'Vertigo'.
The Blackout is danceable and rockin' at the same time. Like they figured out a happy medium and fused it together...the lyrics...whatever...Bono's voice is in fine shape and the band PUMP throughout the song.
Remembering the Apple/SOI rollout and hearing 'The Miracle' for the first time, I remember Tim Cook saying "Isn't that the BEST single ever" and thinking, "that's U2 by the numbers". I like 'The Miracle' but it's NOT a single.
Looking forward to hearing TBT...and a real version of 'The Blackout'...

I think while the SFS/Blackout comparisons are pretty obvious, I think the bigger point is the Innocence and Experience.
SFS is sickly sweet. Idealistic. Blackout is mechanic, and polished. I think William Blake would be proud.

Good morning fam. After catching up on the daily news I had time to pour myself a sick cup of tea. While preparing for the days' events this morning at my place of employment I had time to listen to The Blackout a few times. I must say, the new track is quite lit. Upon repeated listenings it's quite apparent that Adam Clayton is really laying down dank bass lines. Well, I must now go into a meeting with my work bitches. Have a splendid day everyone.

I wonder if the bass will be toned down in the studio version.
