U2 - Ordinary Love
 Era:
2010-2019
  1. Thanks Andrew! Did you imagine the Dirty Day snippet too? Just kidding. I also thought they would perform it that way live, but not in a tour concert setup, more like some event promotiing the film or something (Edge and Bono alone). A live, full band version is pretty unlikely imo.

  2. Great Sergio! like it!
    the part were you whistle, I imagine Edge to play a solo...

  3. I still think it will sell great as a single if it gets airplay here.
  4. Ordinary love, love it!
  6. I bet all the Spanish girls go berzerk.
  7. Great cover Sergio gonna have to look them tabs up
  8. U2 Facebook released a list of UK and Ireland stores that will have copies of Ordinary Love, but I can't seem to copy from this device. Released on the 2nd December over here for those who want it.
  9. I wish they'd do one for Australia.

    It’s been a few years since there’s been any new U2 material worth talking about. With the release of the music video for the band’s new single “Ordinary Love,” some fans seem to feel that there still isn’t.
    On November 21st, U2 released the first full look at any new material since 2009′s No Line on the Horizon. The music video features the lyrics to the song. It’s a tasteful, simple medium for the song, which was recently featured in the trailer for the upcoming film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, a biopic about the famous anti-apartheid president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela.

    Unfortunately, it just doesn’t have the same catch and quality that fans have come to expect. The hook, while catchy, doesn’t strike most listeners in that magical way that they might expect, and most of the lyrics are predictable, and even juvenile. It’s almost difficult to say, but it’s a little bit of let down amidst all the hype and excitement over the soon-to-be album.

    OrdinaryloveIt’s a little disappointing to hear U2 write on such a positive topic and fall short like this. The song feels like it has a lot of potential, but it doesn’t quite flesh out. It’s a lukewarm kind of sensation. Not terrible, but not great either.

    Some fans feel uneasy about the upcoming album, said to be coming in April of 2014, given the taste they have already had of U2′s recent music. It’s not the best we could have hoped for, but it may be important to remember that this song isn’t for the album. It is what it is: a sample piece for a movie trailer. If this were a single direct from the upcoming album, that would be something for fans to get scared about, but it’s not. And with U2 still hard at work finishing up their album, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to say they saved most of their heart and soul for the big project at hand.
  11. no pleasing some people on here.i think the song is very good and not to forget its not from the new album,but who cares if you love the sound of u2,its a pleasure to listen to any material they bring out.....take a look at yourselfs some of you so called u2 fans.good on the band,roll on 2014.
