Wait, what?! They just sent out an email saying we might play this song, and we might ask you to sing? So learn it?!
So this morning I got an email from U2.com that "Ordinary Love" "MIGHT" be played and he idea is to have the crowd be the chorus.
FFS....this is the Joshua Tree Tour 2017....Ordinary Love is an incredibly average song that when played does almost nothing to the crowd or atmosphere. It's filler!
I really hope they don't waste a song slot on this song for this tour. I would rather they play any song from SOI over OL.
It's not a bad song...it's just a very average, mediocre dare I say...ordinary song.

Yes and if you have to ask people to learn it, chances are it isn't a crowd pleaser. Lol

What the actual fuck?
Please no.
Weird.
Weird choice.
Weird that they would send such an email.
Weird that I didn't get it, I usually get U2.com emails.
Was there anything else to the email?
Ordinary Love was their most popular song since How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.
Let that sink in, haters.
True but that just speaks to other issues.
I'm still amazed at the amount of views it has on YouTube BUT that is likely driven to a large extent by the exposure U2 gave the song (Fallon opening night, Oscars and I want to say it was performed on TV one other time possibly).
I'm going to say it....I find Song for Someone to be a far more enjoyable song than OL!

We can't fall any further if,
we can't feel ordinary love.
And we cannot reach any higher,
if we can't deal with ordinary love…'
The chorus to Ordinary Love and one of the songs that might - MIGHT - turn up in the new show.
In fact, the word from Show Director Willie Williams is that there’s an idea to feature you all singing the chorus of Ordinary Love on The Joshua Tree Tour 2017.
Singing it in ordinary situations: walking the dog, on the treadmill, at the supermarket, doing the ironing, baking a cake, driving the car, in the shower…
It’s early days and the idea might not make the cut…. but you could make the difference.
Can you see yourself on screen at the show ? In the chorus, backing the band as they play Ordinary Love?
If you can, please get it our way by MAY 1ST.

crazily enough, maybe a lot of people liked it. i know, right! couldn't be!
in the shower…
But ten people on Interference talk about how much they hate it... that represents a consensus of people not on the forum, right? Right??
Ok, you left a big part out, the video. Email makes a little more sense now.
crazily enough, maybe a lot of people liked it. i know, right! couldn't be!
Of course people liked it but the context of my post was around the YouTube views count being 30 million(higher than most of their classic hits) and it likely being inflated due to very high profile exposure, that's all. If tomorrow they go on a high profile show and play Boots, you can bet there will be an increase in views of that video just from that performance (eye liner sales will also increase).
