  1. Interpol - Twice As Hard
  2. Call me batshit-crazy, but this sounds like it could have fit in PERFECTLY on "Zooropa" if recorded by U2. In fact, I almost wish to hear Edge's take on the music and Bono's vocals.

    It reminds me of "Numb," in a way, but it's far more interesting.

  4. paradise- coldplay
  5. Future Islands - Seasons (Waiting On You)

    Courtesy of The Edge's spotify list. Some great music.
  6. The Crystal Ballroom 12''


  8. That playlist is good, I like Edge's taste

    At the moment though - Oh Berlin
  9. Oh Berlin is delicious. Both lirically and musically. The only "weird" tempo U2 have ever used (7/8), which makes it really interesting for musicians - and harder to play, lol.


    Golden Years - David Bowie

    Oh Berlin is very interesting. I love it.

    And wasn't Drowning Man in 5/8?

    U2 - Near The Island
  11. 5/8 isn't that weird I guess

    lol sorry off topic
  12. 5/8 (or 5/4) might be even weirder than 7/8. Or maybe not, but I know more songs in 7/8 than in 5/4 I think.

    Oh, and what makes Oh Berlin that special is that it's 7/8 in the verses but switches to 4/4 for the chorus. Really extraordinary for U2.

    By the way, Drowning Man is in standard 4/4, it just has a special syncopation to it - both drums, bassline and guitars are out of sync with the vocals, which makes it sound like it has a special time signature - which it doesn't. Bono misguided a lot of people by saying it was 5/8 on U2byU2, but it isn't Count while listening... one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four... It's just that instruments and voice come in at strange beats. It's part of the immense beauty of the song.

    Anyway... way off topic indeed!


    U2 - Drowning Man
