Magnificent!
If this isn't easily the best song on the album, you are smoking something. Certainly the best non-ballad. I'm so proud of the band for embracing their U2ness so fully and without shame or reservation.
I love the way the beginning misleads as to suggest something other...and then Edge and Bono deliver the knockout sound.
It just builds beautifully...
beautifully...and has that signature U2 chiming guitar and urgency to it.
The lyrics are gorgeous and gut wrenchingly honest, especially if you have ever been truly in love. "Only love can leave such a mark"
I feel that Magnificent is
the song that U2 always had in them but it took them decades to write.
I hope this song gets some serious love both live and as a single.
Go U2!!!!!
