  2. Bono collaborating on a charity project. This single features a cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Homeward Bound” recorded by the Street Lights collective, which features Bono, Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody, Villagers, The High Hopes Choir, Cathy Davey, Loah, Roisin O, Join Me In The Pines, Saint Sister and Colm Mac Con. The song has been recorded for charity, and all proceeds from sale of the song will go to Peter McVerry Trust, Simon Community Ireland and Focus Ireland which will put the profits towards rehousing throughout Ireland.
    The single was released as a digital single on November 16, 2018. (source: U2songs.com)
  4. Thought the song was boring, and then Bono's voice came in.

    What a voice ;D
  9. NICE!

  11. I read these sentences from Wikipedia in From The Sky Down:

    "Additional filming took place on 27 May at Burton Cummings Theatre in Winnipeg during the band's rehearsals for the Glastonbury Festival 2011. A rough cut of the movie was shown to the group in July, much to their satisfaction. According to Guggenheim, "They were over the moon. They loved it." The only request the band made was that the film should be shortened in length, and Guggenheim agreed."

    And just wow it exists an extended full length of the documentary.
    Would love to seen it when AB30 really comes out.

    There's already 2 versions of FTSD released:

    - the 74-minute version that came with the "Über Deluxe" and "Super Deluxe" editions of the 20th anniversary reissue of Achtung Baby.
    - An 85-minute director's cut as released on Blu-ray and DVD on December 12, 2011.

    There may well have been a longer version originally prepared by Davis Guggenheim,but if so,I doubt we'll ever get to see it.Personally,I would've been happy to watch something much longer.The released version gives such incredible insights into U2's creative processes I would've loved a breakdown for all the songs on the AB album.
