Another song title!"There's a song that I think will be on this album that's called 'This Is Where You Can Reach Me,' and we as a band went in 1977 to see the Clash and it turned our life upside down," said Bono. "I went home that night, and part of me never came home. The Clash were this extraordinary sight, the most extraordinary sound. It was an audio-visual assault and we were 16, 17 years old.
"That always should have been a dance track," Bono said. "It worked great on the 360 Tour. Some songs turn into something different live, and that’s one of the reasons for the delays on this recent U2 album."
Bono said the band has changed its studio approach and is trying every new song in multiple keys, different tempos and altered arrangements. If "I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" was vastly improved by being road-tested, Bono doesn't want that to happen again.
"We're trying to discover the thing you would find out after six months on the road. We want to get those changes in before we release the album."
As an example, Bono spoke of the title track for "No Line on the Horizon." a song marked by its relatively vague lyrics, heavily processed rhythmic effects and somber snyths that whir in and out. Bono sings through gritted teeth, cutting right to the front of the adventurous arrangement.
Don't, Bono said, expect the new album to sound like that song.
"The last album, I enjoyed it, but in ways it was quite esoteric," said Bono. "There were a lot of subjects. Writing a song about infinity? It's great that a band like U2 can get away with that, but I remember enough of being a teenager. The reason we joined U2 was to not go too far on the self-indulgent front. We had one foot in punk rock."
"I have things I can do as a singer," said Bono. "I have a lot of things I can't do, but I have a few things I can. There's certain notes I can hit, which have an effect on people. Brian Burton is extremely suspicious of those notes. He's looking for melodies that are eternal rather than ones you feel in the moment. That's the most profound impact on us."
I don't think Ordinary Love is gonna be on the new album. And I hope Invisible isn't either. Keep them as specialty songs. They served a purpose. Give us other songs just as good, if not better, than those two.
But whadda I know?
JUST FINISH THE GODDAMN ALBUM AND RELEASE IT FOR GOD'S SAKE, WE CAN'T STAND THIS SLOW TEASE WITH SONG TlTLES ANY LONGER.

We've just received 3 songs names in less than 24 hours, it's like a tsunami of emotions in U2's world...
It was the quote that said something like "gee, I hope our fans are still out there" that pushed me over the edge.
WE WON'T STILL BE OUT THERE IF YOU DON'T FINISH THE GODDAMNED ALBUM AND RELEASE IT TOOT DE SUITE, FELLAS.
Sorry for the yelling. I'm very passionate about this right now.
Bet ya you'll still buy it if it comes out in 2016
