I've heard this is just U2's method. Rumor has it that "Hawkmoon 269" was so named because there were 269 mixes.
agreed!!!interesting, as i was listening to nloth this weekend, and the crazy tonight, stand up comedy and boots triumvirate just guts the album for me. Replace these songs with just about anything else they must have recorded during that time and it probably elevates the album from good to great.
I heard this with in an interview with a engineer who said U2 doesn't know what they're doing (I disagree) and ended up with 269 mixes of the song.I have heard this reported on here a few times as a rumour. Is that a true rumour, or more a joke?
Because the band had said back in the R&H days that the name came from a road sign they passed on the tour bus. (ie. 269 miles to Hawkmoon).
Musically I'd say UC is pretty great, most of the lyrics are good... just... that chorus.. wtf guys?
Weren't the chorus lyrics the one thing they went back and redid?
i'm actually 100% behind this evaluation... I really love the music in the song, but that chorus is soooooooooooooooooo bad.
Why
did
you try and write
a chorus as
a ro oh oh bot... Ro oh oh bot
And the whole apple theme of the chorus, sounds like they were out of inspiration "Hey Edge, show me your macbook again" "oi it's not responding, ah well, force quit and move to trash" "BRILLIANT LYRIC LET'S RECORD NAO"
Really do not get why the fuck nobody vetoed that.

On wikipedia they say this:
"Bono also said that the band mixed the song 269 times. This was thought to be a joke for years until it was recently confirmed by The Edge in U2 by U2, who said that they spent three weeks mixing the song."
Indeed - Check your PMs...
Very, very disappointing song. I really hope this is no indication for the next album. I didn't have high expectations because of their post NLOTH output, but man this is boring.
the whole "heart on sleeve" verse is pretty retro U2.. like something out of the mid 80s in terms of Bono's phrasing.. reminds me of Love Comes Tumbling
