U2 wouldn't have held back on releasing Winter to coincide with the release of the movie Brothers if they didn't have a need for it. It isn't shelved.
I'm not following your logic. It seems pretty clear that they were holding Winter back for the movie--not for another album. I believe the attachment of this song to Brothers was reported before NLOTH was even released.
This doesn't mean that they won't consider releasing it on an album, but I find it unlikely. If it hadn't been used for the movie, then I'd expect it to resurface. And remember, we no longer have any assurances that SOA, as it's been described to us thus far, is going to be their next album. They've been writing a lot of new songs and they seem to be leaning towards going with a more mainstream sound than SOA could deliver.
The AIDS album?
I'm Lost....
They would never do that. Irish guys drinknig Scotch?
Adam is British.
ATYCLB must have been the point of infection...

I like stranded more than SUC.Even if it's Stranded?
(not that it will be)
The song WAS NOT included on the Brothers soundtrack! It is currently in 2 movies, but unreleased!!!
So? Everyone's heard it and can easily access it online (2 versions no less). While I enjoy the Brothers version, it'd be a bad sign for the album if they're holding back all these tracks on us and end up including that one. They might do an uptempo version, which I'd be ok with. But don't hold your breath.
Yes. The licensing costs were too much to include it on the soundtrack.
This is similar to the reason why we never get the snippets of other people's songs that Bono sings on U2's live albums.
The song remains commercially unreleased. This is a decision U2 has made. My theory is that they want to save it for something. You have a different one???
You think that a movie with the money to afford to have a cast like Brothers had couldn't afford whatever fee U2 asked them for in order to include a song U2 wrote specifically for the film on the soundtrack? That makes no sense whatsoever....
I don't understand how you think. The song is NOT YET COMMERCIALLY RELEASED!
Why? You have a theory beyond that they wanted it for the next album???
Sigh.
OK, there's a song. Let's call it I Still Haven't Found The Miracle Drug Africa Is Looking For. It's released in the sequel to Titanic (let's call it...The Cork). 90 million people hear the song at the theater, it's the music played when U2 comes onstage (so you know it has been discussed a whole fucking lot), and they perform it on Conan O Brien's Masturbating Bear spinoff. However, it never found its way onto No More Flops On The Horizon (a collection of Phil Collins covers and Jay-Z collaborations, NLOTH's sequel), or the soundtrack to The Cork (nearly identical to New Moon's, which is too indietastic for U2, I guess). U2 is soon releasing a rock opera about a misunderstood Irishman with Messianic powers and mindblowing guitar skills. The question is: do they include ISHFTMDAILF?
Now, let's consider the current situation. Winter was included in not one, but TWO films. Both U2 fans and moviegoers are privy to it. On top of that, Winter was nominated for a Golden Globe. Now, I know nobody watches awards shows, but I think the above may have spoiled the potential surprise a hair. U2 is releasing a concept album about pilgrimage in the...well...not near future, but eventually. The question is: do they include Winter? Bonus question: how is Winter any more obscure than The Hands That Built America, which never came close to seeing an album release?
It is. Linear is a commercial product.
And I sincerely think that there is NO way they'll recycle it for the new album.
The Hands that Built America was released on an album; a best of album.
Sigh.
