  2. U2.com all but confirm we won't be hearing it today.
  3. Yep

    http://www.u2.com/news/title/ordinary-love-on-vinyl

    is all we get.

    'Ordinary Love, a new song written for the upcoming movie Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom, will be released in a 10-inch vinyl pressing to mark Record Store Day on November 29th.

    The sleeve artwork features a striking painting of Nelson Mandela by Irish artist and illustrator Oliver Jeffers. Oliver has also directed a lyric video for Ordinary Love which we'll carry on U2.com during November.

    The band wrote the new song at the invitation of movie producer Harvey Weinstein and the b-side of the Record Store Day release will feature a second track, Breathe, another song with a Mandela connection.

    We'll have copies of the vinyl release up for grabs in a competition next month.

    Stay tuned...'
  4. "a lyric video for Ordinary Love which we'll carry on U2.com during November"


    in my understanding, they are going to show it there all throughout November?
  5. I hope so, that would mean it starts in two days, which would be nice seeing as we don't get the track today
  6. I guess it could leak beforehand anyway

    an update from oliver jeffers.
  8. Nice!! Posted by the guy who's made the cover art for the Record Store Day vinyl. Definitely something. Saw another post from last week saying he hoped it'd be revealed "this weekend", that didn't happen, but hopefully it will happen this weekend instead, Friday is the 1st of November, so that'd work with the November thing.

    Or just do it today

  10. 99% sure now that the b-side is a new version of Breathe, it's not being called a new song and I'm pretty sure the lyrics WERE written about Nelson.
  11. Wanderer.org is saying soundtrack will be out Nov 26th.

  12. Sure they were:


    (1st verse)
    18th of July on the banks of a not well-known river,
    I started a journey to where I am now.
    Troublesome, troublemaker, guided by the drums of my creator
    towards a rhythm, a rhyme, a melody line of a song called freedom,
    which once heard will never leave your head.
    Rolihlahla, on a day like this,
    it's love that gives us courage to resist.

    (chorus)
    Agape love forged like steel in the fire.
    Agape love like a whisper that calls us
    to walk out into the street
    with your arms out and the people you meet
    are neither down nor out,
    hey there is nothing you have that I need.
    I can breathe. I can breathe.


    (2nd verse)
    All those who stand together, fist in air, now know this -
    that real division is not a scar on the land, but in the hearts of every man
    who began as a kiss not to resist, and not a fist.
    Now an open hand, an open face,
    an open page where history might rewrite its rage.

    (chorus)
    Agape love forged like steel in the fire.
    Agape love like a whisper that calls us
    to walk out into the street
    with your arms out and the people you meet
    are neither down nor out,
    hey there is nothing you have that I need.
    I can breathe. I can breathe.


    It will be nice and strange at the same time, I think. And it won't be superior to the final version we all know.
