Intro sounds like The Knife. Lovely, lovely stuff.
Intrigued to hear how they do this live.

I think the suggestion was that it happened spontaneously after U2 stopped playing, and they liked it and included it in the ad (per the teaser), not the actual recording of the song (although might be wrong/you never know).

Pairs well with "I Will Follow," strangely enough.

Ha. That sounds about right, considering how many times the crowd likely had to listen to the song throughout the shoot.

This version won't make it in the album, right? (Altough I really love it), but I'm thinking that the album version will be a little less "eletronic"...
PS: Anyone over here is thinking about buying lanterns for the upcoming tour? and that this song would be awsome as an "closing song", with people singing the chorus over and over?

Haven't read the last 25 pages of the thread yet, because I've only just now heard the song, but I get a very "Mercy" vibe from at least the first part of the song.

Is this for real?

Hurts Like Heaven? Tht's the first song that popped into my mind. The production is similar to my ears.
I like the song. Chorus is great. The outro is pretty weak. I hope the album version expands it.

I was posting in the other thread, but figured I might as well move it to the appropriate thread.
On several listens, I'm not that impressed with the song. Of course I come from the contigency that think the AB/Zooropa/Pop era was the highest U2 has ever been from a lyrical, conceptual and melody standpoint.
I feel like this song is sort of falling in line with the soft phase that began with ATYCLB and has continued on since then. Of course they are getting older and that's probably just to be expected, so it's not super fair to expect them to ever get back to the fire and experimentation of youth.
This song, and actually like a lot of the songs from the soft phase, have some interesting melodies attached to them and I feel like there's a hint of the band in there... but as soon as the verse starts we kick back to chime-y guitars and milquetoast lyrics. It feels like U2 is just stuck in that phase and I don't know if it's the producers or U2 themselves. It just feels like the songs always end up quashing any element of adventure in them.
After listening to the second half of Arcade Fire's "Reflektor", of which there is a direct 90s U2 influence, I just wish they would go back to that musically soul seeking venture. I'm not even saying replicate that sound... just for the love of Pete go explore!

Sounds almost like some classic Madonna song. What is it?

Miley, Oprah, and Ellen (surely among others) have tweeted about it so far.
