And I seriously love this song, best on the album for me in the first listen.
They NEED to play this one live, that guitar is just orgasmic. Lyrics are awesome, chorus so good.
Oh I love love this one

I hope you like it.

Love the change from "Not the one that everyone knows" to "Not the one you might think of" - even though it doesn't fully fit the rhyme
Did not like the original line of "everyone knows" - makes it sound as if it is made for an exclusive audience. Most people in the middle east would not know what you're talking about if you say "west coast".

Haha, thanksNobody else noticed I think, but that's exactly what I was thinking when I changed it. I tried different lines and none of them fitted properly (not the one you might be thinking of had one extra syllable and sounded even worse!), but I thought it was important to include at least one instance of the modified chorus.
Was Summer of Love originally a song meant to be written for OneRepublic? We found this rehearsal clip from Feb last year where they play a song called "West Coast", an early version of Summer of Love:https://t.co/dBFJoYfmfE #U2SongsofExperience
