I love how he talks so passionately. I'm like that with making songs sometimes. I'm sat there with my guitar, find I've just playing something that sounded brilliant, all completely by accident, no intention whatsoever, and I spend the rest of the day trying to work out what on earth it was I did. It's the little accidents that make it all worth while.
I wish he was u2's manager! They should have listened to him. I think the album would have had a longer life and they could have released 'Songs of ascent' like they had planned.
Certanly a video worth watching. Amazing how a "funny loop" became this masterpiece... But well, we're talking about U2, so anything is possible hahahah
@Nailersy I agree with that. One of my favorite songs on that album, making it a single they've had to cut it for radio purposes and it would've lost the impact that song made.
Yeh i agree about making a statement. U2 missed a trick this time. Best music always finds u. In recent yrs i felt U2 tried to hard to find music rather than letting it find them
It's a pitty that the opening percusion gets a bit lost on the mix during the rest of the song and that Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh vocal lines have becomed previsible and overused, specially in this album.

Welcome to my world. Free flow baby. I never play the same thing twice. Just ride the waves.
like a dreaming wide awake experience!
Hi Brian, how was your collaboration with Underworld? Satisfying? Why not again?

Other than that, it's a pretty good song.
Sorry, Brian. This album is a crap
