  1. Watching covers of Running to Stand Still on youtube to see if I dare to upload something of my own


  2. Stand Up Comedy? Well let's just say the name of the song is incredibly crap, it isn't exactly lyrical genius, it sounds like a song that was put together in a day (even though it apparently took them 18 months to make) and it's pretty cheesy. Also, I hate the way Bono sings "hours" in the first chorus. But, in my opinion, it isn't the worst song on the album.

    I have to say that when I was discovering U2, Stand Up Comedy actually was ma favorite for a while. Always loved that "stop helping god across the road like a little old lady" line

    I like the 'God is Love, and Love is evolutions very best day' line.

    But No Line should all have been in the vein of Fez-Being Born.

    Bono, Jay-Z, and Will.I.Am. all played their part in ruining half of it.
  5. Like, I personally think the worst song is between White as Snow and Cedars of Lebanon but I know for a fact that people here actually like Cedars of Lebanon. I think I may actually be the only one that truly hates it.
  6. Cedars is awesome

    And I actually like White As Snow as well I like NLOTH


  7. Oh, you made a bit of a mistake there... it's awful
  8. You're the one making a mistake, it's awesome
  10. Cedars Of Lebanon? It's a masterpiece.
  11. Cedars would have been great if it weren't for that lame chorus. The verses are quite cool.


  12. +1

    Cedars is an overlooked piece of genius. It's one of the few times on the album when I truly believe Bono's writing from another POV and not just kidding himself. He said during the initial publicity for NLOTH that the songs were from different personas, but really that's only working in Fez and Cedars. The rest of it is mostly Bono indulging his angst as usual.
