Discussion of U2's future: new singles, new tour, etc.

Originally posted by LikeASong[..]I didn't say that. They're probably filming the videoclip for No Line in Cadiz, on the South of Spain.

By the way, that cover(s) are beautiful, but I think they're nothing but a beautiful fake.

I don't believe they would shot a video for No Line because the song behind the song is about Ireland. Ireland is cold and rainy and Spain is hot.



And that "artwork" is fake, I'm 100% sure, looks very amateur and the font used is Clarendon which was used for HTDAAB.

kind of a leap to start discussing the meaning of a song based on the title I recall Bono mentioning where the inspiration for the title comes from, but that doesn't mean it is actually about the line on the Irish sea horizon disappearing. Bono is a poet and I'm sure that No Line will have wonderful poetic underlinings and refer to a deeper line not being on the horizon. just a thought

"...A wide, frozen lake spreads out next to the salt-whitened Utah freeway, and Bono points out the gauzy sundown, the sun slipping beneath white clouds that blend with snowy mountaintops in the distance.

"Can I interrupt this broadcast?" he says. "There's an amazing moment in Ireland, where we live, when the sea and the sky can have the same color and the line of the horizon disappears. And I look at these mountains, and it's just about to happen here."

He reaches beneath the seat and pulls out a CD case, withdrawing a hand-labeled disc. "I have just the right song for it … if I can find it."

He slips the CD into the player and heavy distortion fills the car. It's a song called No Line on the Horizon, which the band is developing for their next album. "It came out of a new distortion box that my guitar tech got," The Edge says.

"This is a little full on!" Bono shouts. "But it's worth it, just to get a flavor of this. It's only a demo."

The song is rough, weaving between brutal guitar blasts underscoring the mellow title refrain. "These are just first drafts," Bono explains.

Since the recordings are still in the embryonic phase, it's not clear what direction the band will be headed with their next collection of songs..."

Its about a time of day where the sky and the sea are one. Or thats what I think it must be.

right, i'm just saying the inspiration may have a literal starting point but i doubt we'll be listening to a song about when the sky and sea are one, despite the gorgeous imagery of that. i'm sure it will be related to something far more personal and spiritual

I agree with you, but still...you can't have cold atmosphere in a video shot in Spain.

I hope you're right, most of their albums have been like that. Sometimes when I listen to Bomb, it seems like it's missing what you're referring to there, not all of the songs, but some of them. So I hope we get that feel from the new album. I'm sure we will, we're talking about U2 for god's sake!
