U2 - Breathe
 Album:
No Line On The Horizon (2009)
  1. Its just that verses from the BC had that ''if you don't agree with me, ill kick your ass'' flow. And they got rid of some amazing 'ooh's' (no sarcasm).

    When I'm running down the road like loose electricity,
    While the band in my head plays a striptease.
    Those lyrics are so awesome but a bit dull delivered IMO
    And the We are people born of sound, the songs are in our eyes is all the way at the end
    And they could've left the piano out (it would sound more raw)
  2. sheer genius. So great hearing this after first hearing the song we called "walk out into the streets" more than a year ago. Edge kills on this song and even shreds a little! Love the string part and of course Bono is great. Can't say enough about this song and album.

    Man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit longer
    There’s a few things I need you to know. Three

    Coming from a long line of travelling sales people on my mother’s side
    I wasn’t gonna buy just anyone’s cockatoo
    So why would I invite a complete stranger into my home
    Would you?

    These days are better than that
    These days are better than that

    Every day I die again, and again I’m reborn
    Every day I have to find the courage
    To walk out into the street
    With arms out
    Got a love you can’t defeat
    Neither down or out
    There’s nothing you have that I need
    I can breathe
    Breathe now

    16th of June, Chinese stocks are going up
    And I’m coming down with some new Asian virus
    Ju Ju man, Ju Ju man
    Doc says you’re fine, or dying
    Please
    Nine 0 nine, St John Divine, on the line, my pulse is fine
    But I’m running down the road like loose electricity
    While the band in my head plays a striptease

    The roar that lies on the other side of silence
    The forest fire that is fear so deny it

    Walk out into the street
    Sing your heart out
    The people we meet
    Will not be drowned out
    There’s nothing you have that I need
    I can breathe
    Breathe now
    Yeah, yeah

    We are people borne of sound
    The songs are in our eyes
    Gonna wear them like a crown

    Walk out, into the sunburst street
    Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
    I’ve found grace inside a sound
    I found grace, it’s all that I found
    And I can breathe
    Breathe now


    not to be petty, but the line is "There's three things I need you to know, Three"
  4. Thanks, it's edited on the Song Page now
  5. This is the only one of the beach clips (Good God, did I really just say that!?) I remember.


  6. Yes, definitely - but it's more pure rock.

    Kind of have the impression that the BEACH version was even better...
  7. For me on first listen this was my favorite song on the album by far
  8. definztley in top 2 songs of album, i got goosebumps on 1st listen, WOW. contender for best u2 song ever after hearing it more, whats it about, i thought john lennon but he died in december?
  9. Great great song
    pure rock
    Im not dissapointed at all
  10. Still has to grow on me, but I'm sure it will. Not among my favs yet.
  11. I knew it already from the beach clips - so it's not really the first time I listen to it (fell in love with the song last Summer, but not at once). Great, great, great - the whole album is blowing me up.
  12. so anyone else think that Bono sounds like he did for the Across The Universe soundtrack? lol that was my first thought. Loving the song too!
