I've been listening to my SHNs of the Super Bowl XXXVI Halftime Show today. I'm trying to figure out part of the lyrics near the end of Beautiful Day (starting at around 3:38) and I didn't see anything on U2wanderer. I must know, can anyone help? :scream:


Sitting out in the cold? ???
??? station
My love proves???
We're a soul nation!
Soul, soul, soul in the world
Put some soul
Put some soul
Soul in your world
It's beautiful
(random laugh)
Sing right?? Say goodnight?
Thank you! (insert sounds of Bono applauding himself) :shifty:


:crack:

Who said Bono had to make any sense when he's making stuff up on the spot? I've highlighted the spots where I differ from your interpretation:

Self-control
Sweet sound of conversation
My love proven
This
soul nation!
Soul, soul, soul in the world
Put some soul
Put some soul
Soul in your world
It's beautiful
Tonight Note: It's a bit emotional, but that's what he says
Thank you!

I did a hard crunch on the passage in question - my source was a .ram file, and the original sound quality wasn't too good. So there are a bit of audio artifacts present, but the vocal comes through fairly nice:

Thank you so much rivergoat. :happy:


the "Tonight" seems so obvious now, I can't believe I just thought he was laughing. :eek:

Oh, he DID laugh, but then he said "Tonight"

And it's no problem, I like doing puzzles... and Bono sure is puzzling at times!!
