  1. I was thinking how long we have to wait until fall, and then I realized it's nearly July…only two more months and then we head into single-releasing territory…
  2. I don't expect a single before end of October/beginning November, when we take the accidentally date on u2.com for real which was Nov 14 or 16 (compare bomb release dates). For whatever reason, they always release the album 2 weeks after the single, instead of making the most out of the single and put it out 2 months ahead.

    the good thing is: whenever - we've already waited the longest time.
  3. Get On Your Boots was aired over one month before NLOTH's scheduled release date (22nd or 23rd of January vs 27th of February 2009), although it was released as a single just 2 weeks prior to the album delivery.

    2 months is a bit too much for a band which is not on their peak anymore (a.k.a. they're probably not releasing any more really succesful singles). I'd say one month is fine.
  4. i'd say just release it
  5. I wouldn't be surprised if they want to pull a Beyoncé and not have a single at all.
  6. It'll be U2 time in the Autumn, I'm quite sure. Details won't matter if the music is good.

  7. With all their talk of being relevant, they likely won't want to copy something a younger artist is doing. Also, not having a single will not address their self-perceived problem of not having a hit off the last album.


    No single= No hits.

    This band hasn't had a real hit since Nov 2004, and seems to stray from taking chances, and no single and copying a younger artist would be taking a huge chance. This band stopped taking chances after Pop, which is a shame, but that's how they are. They still make good music, but have a false sense of what it is they are creating. They championed the "highly experimental" nature of No Line, which turned out to be pretty much playing it safe.
  8. Let the wondering begin.

    BEACH CLIP AUDIO OF NEW U2 SONG POSTED ONLINE

    @U2, July 02, 2014
    By: Matt McGee

    The tradition continues: U2 fans hear new songs being played from Bono's house in the south of France and record what they hear from the beach below.

    The folks at U2Valencia.com have posted an audio clip that they're saying is the new song, "Song For Someone." It was reportedly recorded on Monday (June 30). It's about five minutes long and, like previous beach clips, the loudest sound is the ebb and flow of the ocean's waves. But if you turn it loud and listen closely, you can hear the new song a bit.

  9. I can hear the sea And faraway some popsounding song.
  10. Hmmmm.
  11. I like what we can hear.

    And the best part of it is:

    if there's one, there's more. Let's hope they surface soon...
  12. Is the song called "Waves" or "Ocean Sounds"?
