Didn't Edge confirm Breathe in the Q interview?

Anyway, yes, it's pretty obvious from the lyrics that Clip #2 = Breathe.

Correct!! Forgot about that interview... And yes - the word Breathe is very prominent in clip #2 so I doubt it'd be referring to anything other than that...
 
Breathe was confirmed by Edge as a fuck-off rocker. If you guys dispute that #2 is breathe then you guys are on crack.
 
Not sure if this was addressed earlier in the thread, but does anyone know the gap between when the Vertigo video was filmed and the release of HTDAAB and/or the gap between when the Beautiful Day video was filmed and the release of ATYCLB?

I'm sorry, but it still doesn't sound like a "fuck off live rocker" for me, as Edge put it in that interview. While I don't doubt that Clip n. 2 is indeed "Breathe", I don't think the song fits Edge's description. But then again, I'm not too fond of that clip. I only like the chorus, the verses just don't seem to fit.

I have edited the pic, it's not very good, but it's clear it's Bono, and The Edge doesn't have so much hair (to say the least).

the older clip of the same song is even clearer where it says breathe too...

correct - and I like this first version of "Breath - walk out into the streets" - better than the second version. This would have been a good first single.. Very catchy song.
 
thanks for the answer, i guess i missed all of that. Ive only listened to the beach clips once and from memory they werent very clear. i did like the fourth one the best though.:up:

Not at all.
in 2008 we had 4 leaks, 3 from HQ in Dublin, and only one from the beach:

February
1st HQ clip - No Line On The Horizon (Confirmed on USA Today and Mojo articles) sung to the melody of beach clip #1 choruses on top of another track - some hardly audible cacophony...

April
2nd HQ clip - For Your Love (Confirmed on Q article) - faintly heard beyond trucks driving back and forth. the intro to this song later appeared in u2.com clip "larrystuff" and the post-chorus riff appeared on u2.com clip "edgeback", the song sounds like a combination of a Fly-like riff to which Edge refers in his Q interview, and a Mysterious Ways harmony.
For Your Love intro: http://media.u2.com/flash/highlights/larrystuff.swf
post-chorus/pre-verse riff: http://media.u2.com/flash/highlights/edgeback.swf (3rd music bit)


the For Your Love clip was recorded by a friend of DreamOutLoud that had graciously uploaded it after having to put up with all sorts of shit from people on this forum who bashed her for not catering immediately to their capricious desires. Blessed be she.
For Your Love is still available for listen on u2exit.com as "beach clip minus the beach". go stream it from the site if you like.

May
3rd HQ clip - Breathe (Confirmed on Q) - early version without bass and different melody. uploaded on YouTube, and removed upon Universal's requested right after:

July
Beach clips from Eze sur del Mer recorded by dutch fan Ben, right off Bono's balcony.
These include:

1 - Either "Unknown Caller" (title confirmed on Mojo) but perhaps more likely "No Line on the Horizon", the chorus appeared on the Here Is What Is trailer. and the same chords of the chorus and the long outro solo both appeared on the clip from February over which NLOTH was sung. this first clip originated from the Fez sessions however.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI4MOw0-ZD4

2 - Breathe (Confirmed on Q interview) - Later version with slightly different melody, awesome bassline and more guitars. the outro is featured on u2.com clip "adamfans", and the pre-bridge chorus is on u2.com clip "toiletbreak" with different melody and additional E-Bow guitar.

Breathe outro: http://media.u2.com/flash/highlights/adam_fans.swf

Breathe chorus-bridge transition: http://media.u2.com/flash/highlights/toiletbreak.swf

3 - Get Up On Your Boots (Confirmed by Q) - with main riff previously featured on u2.com clips "greentea" and "april08_larrydrums", and on guitar documentary It Might Get Loud, perhaps u2.com clip "adambass" is the intro to the song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8vnSUrLczM

4 - untitled - with "Only love will mend/break your heart" sung over and over, people speculated about it being all sorts of different songs, but I believe it is none of the confirmed titles we had so far, except for maybe One Bird. anyhow, the basic chord sequence+bassline appears on u2.com clip "edgeback" (http://media.u2.com/flash/highlights/edgeback.swf 2nd bit of music), and bits of singing and the guitar line on top can be heard played with on u2.com clip "edgeputitdown" http://media.u2.com/flash/highlights/edgeputitdown.swf .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y-Q6RO8oF0

This song is NOT No Line On the Horizon - because it contains neither the "mellow title refrain" mentioned on USA Today article, nor the chords of the song from February.

This sonq is NOT Moment of Surrender - because we have pretty much most of it and it's hardly 4:30 long, so it's too short, besides, french fans who have heard new songs yet didn't record them on another occasion in the same period of time these clips were recorded, described MOS as starting off rather like "Stuck in a moment" then taking a left turn and ending with long and beautiful guitar parts, none of which are evident on this recording.

This song is NOT For Your Love - because that one is a completely different song as explained above.

I doubt that it is Unknown Caller because UC was recorded in Fez, and judging from the comparison between beachclip 4 and the bits of it from u2.com, the song had evolved quite a lot, and according to the Edge the Fez and France 2007 songs mostly retained the original takes of the songs.

5 - hardly 2:50 minutes of some soul-tinged ballad with piano, worst recording quality, and shortest bit of a song. This clip failed to get any positive attention, but I believe that this is just the beginning of a rather long song. If Moment of Surrender is any of the clips we've heared, it must be this one.

the first 4 beach clips are available for listen on YouTube, after reuploaded there by user U2NewSongs. Just search for No Line On the Horizon (And ignore the misguided title speculation in the talkbacks hehe...)

So that's what we heard from the new album:

No Line On the Horizon (several forms)

Breathe

Get Up On Your Boots

untitled trance-ballad - beach clip #4

a short excerpt of a gospel influenced piece - with little likelihood Moment Of Surrender - beach clip #5

For Your Love

Of 5 clips recorded in france in summer 2006, during sessions produced by Rick Rubin, 1 was released as Window in the Skies, 1 was just a Strokes side project listened to by U2, one was a rendition of a Daniel Lanois song, and the other 2 will not be released on this upcoming album according to Edge's comment that any Rubin-produced tracks were taken off this current project and shelved for possible future revisiting.
 
That should go into the sticky at the top of the page I reckon - Perfect summary (tho dammit I'm still hearing "no line on the horizon" sometimes in #4!! :reject: I know I'm wrong tho...!)

I hear it as well. Who says NLOTH can't be Clip No. 4? And if the song isn't called that way, it can still be a line in a song. We all know that U2 haven't had any "title tracks" for some time now.
 
I have the feeling that clip nr. 5 could be "moment of surrender" as PolarCamel already commented. It has some kind of "stuck in a moment" feeling to it. Is that the master piece that eno was promising? :| maybe the crappy beach quality of the clip is spoiling the whole song vibe... but so far I dont like it at all.

Some French fans that have supposedly heard "Moment of Surrender" at Eze stated that none of the beach clips is that song. The "dallas" clip from U2.com is kinda suspicious to me... :hmm:
