Merry Christmas Eve! How are you this morning?
Cold and waiting.
How are you? Merry Christmas Eve to you too!
Waiting's always the worst, isn't it?
I'm great, I woke up in a good mood, and I'm hanging out until we do our Christmas dinner with my mom. I get one set of presents tonight.
It is.
Cool. I'm hanging out too until dinner tonight.
Who's going to be at your dinner?
My aunt, sister and mom. Then I get to open my first present.
So Winter along with Moment of Surrender will be 6+ minutes.
That's exciting. It will be interesting to hear the album, I want to see what they've done.
I'm excited about them having longer songs because when you look at their longest songs, Winter and MOS would be in good company.
Street, Mofo, COBL, Hawkmoon, All I Want Is You, Love Rescue Me, Bad, Elvis Presley & America, Surrender, Lemon and Zooropa.
True. Except for Elvis & America. That song's kind of awful.
It's one of their best.
I can't stand it...
You're not thinking of Elvis Ate America are you?
I don't like that one either. Actually, I really hate that one, and only moderately dislike Elvis Presley & America.
What do you dislike about the good Elvis?
Mostly Bono's vocals. I wish he would decide whether he wants to sing or do a weird mumbling thing.
We are in such disagreement. Do you like the rest of The Unforgettable Fire?
I do, actually. It's my favorite U2 album, but I've never liked how he chose to do the vocals for that song. I think his sort of mumbling works for the others, but on this one, it's too up and down and it gets tedious. In my opinion, of course.
I really like the stream of consciousness thing going on in the song myself. The uncertainty of vocal style adds to the song in my opinion. The music itself is stunning.
