    I can't believe this slipped by me. Released Feb 2018, Mad As The Mist And Snow sounds like vocals from the late 80's. Nice find! Is there a topic/thread on this somewhere, would be nice for some more info.

    It’s a vocal take from the 90’s.
  5. ^ It's a Waterboys song from 2011
  6. It’s a W.B Yeats poem?

  11. September 1913 is a poem by W. B. Yeats. Bono snippeted in LIB back in 1992 during ZooTV. Are we sure it's not a recording from that era?
  12. Also, he recorded it again in 2003. Are we talking about that?
