Every Breaking Wave - Song Discussion

[RaisedByWolves]

It was weak compared to the final product. The chorus was a mess and there was no "sound" just Edge gently playing the guitar.

It was like Adel trying to play dad Rock....it was mom Rock!

I agree with you. It's actually growing on me more than when I first heard it.
I was Ver hesitant to give it "classic" status thinking it might be U2phorea with the new music but it really is THAT good.

Nah, it's still "U2phorea". You'll need more time.

[Gonna Run 2 U]

I wonder what the rawer versions of the songs Tedder and Epworth worked on sound like before they were polished up.
I actually like this Alt. version of EBW and the acoustic version better than the album version.
Should've let DangerMouse do the whole album! Screw Tedder! Screw Epworth!

If they didn't work with Tedder and Epworth we would not have gotten "Iris" which is arguably the best song they've done in years. I don't see Danger Mouse with any production credits on that one.

Actually, I always feel like I can't place new albums/songs in my U2 echelon till the next one is released. It's just been recently I've been able to place NLOTH.

Hey I don't care, its just cool to see Millennials enjoying U2.

who?

 

[RaisedByWolves]

who?

Millennials, an abbreviation for millennial generation, is a term used by demographers to describe a segment of the population that came to maturity around the year 2000. Sometimes referred to in the media as "Generation Y," millennials followed Generation X and are the children of the post-WWII baby boomer generation.

 

[jeevey]

Whenever I hear a good singer cover U2 I'm reminded of how huge and how remarkable Bono's voice is, and how quietly idiosyncratic his delivery.

Isn't it about time this was properly released? A double single perhaps, album version and live acoustic?? Do it now. NOW!

I have it marked on my calendar for this coming Monday, January 12th, which I've seen posted about. Hoping it is true, but wondering what is involved in its official release?

 

[last unicorn]

I thought it was already released

I wonder if they'll do a proper video besides the official promo one with the acoustic live version. Considering the fact that Bono won't make any public appearances and certainly won't perform in a U2 video it could possibly be a band-less one.

 

[Yahweh]

A great song - best on the album glad to see it picking up steam on the radio but yes it would be nice if U2 could promote it as well, but if its truly a great song it shouldn't need promoting.

The Belfast video was recorded almost a month ago. ....

I believe it was in 2013.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i believe that was right before their second of at least 3 aborted release attempts

 

[popacrobat]

2013, I think as well. But yeah, that would be them getting cold feet and then using Ordinary Love as a reason to quit for a bit.
