He means it will be harder for people to remember the name of the song, not the song itself! For example, it would be hard for a casual music fan to remember the name of 'Bad' if they heard it on the radio, considering the word, "bad" doesn't even appear once.PlaTheGreat said:
This is really twisted logic. Haha, pun!

Probably explains why I like that record so much!The_Edge89 said:(Well most songs on that record doesn't have their titles in them, with the exception of Pride.)

Well you might hear it on the radio but you might not have a clue wot the title of the song was.
People are like that.

That's too bad. Or shall I say, not "bad" enough.t8thgr8 said:

t8thgr8 said:Will do. Ive never heard it outside of my u2 collection. Although I rarely listen to the radio anymore.

Actually, the last two album titles are quite memorable, especially the last one. I think odd sounding titles such as HTDAAB stick in the mind really well. But I know that artists do put a lot of thought into titles, and even how they're remembered. For example, 'Leaving on a Jet Plane' by John Denver was originally going to be called 'Oh babe, I hate to go' (if my memory is correct), but I think it was John Denver's manager that suggested the line from the song, "Leaving on a jet plane" because it was far more memorable since it was far less generic. If a title conveys an image, a mental picture to tie down the title in some way, we usually associate the mood of the song to that title. It's just the way our minds work. I think a good, memorable title is a vital aspect of creating art. Speaking from personal experience, I agonize over good titles when I write a poem, a story, or what have you.... You have to pick something that works, something that strikes a chord. Usually these are the memorable ones.angelordevil said:
It would be pretty lame if U2 start worrying about how song titles are remembered. They seem to actually go out of their way to confuse when naming things, if the last two album titles are held up as evidence.
I like the name of the song...maybe it's about space?
I forgot about this part of your post! Yes, it would be great if it is about something outside of the earth paradigm. U2 haven't ventured outside the atmosphere in its songwriting yet....and this would definitely be unchartered territory for them (or just about anyone for that matter!). Seriously, though, I would like to see some metaphysical writing from U2 -- and this title is certainly indicative of that.angelordevil said:

Funny, I'm listening to that song right now. This is more spiritual than metaphysical, though I can see how the two can be the same thing. This stanza, to me, is about what happens when we die, how our energy shoots to the stars, how we follow the trail of our life after we keep going after death, how we get back to ourselves -- and how we are reborn once again.BonoVoxSupastar said:
"A man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocketship into the skies
He lives on a star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail, the scatter of light
Turn it on, turn it on, you turn me on"

listening to 402 again..... and just before each of those hmtmkmkm type solo parts, i can definetly hear bono sing "dow in the sky"
and well all know how much the lyrics for the songs arent really finished until they record, so its quite possible that
