U2 - Song for Someone
 Album:
Songs Of Innocence (2014)
  1. Been mulling over it for a while - I think this is my least favourite on the album. Does little for me. I think the album's really strong but this is one of the weakest parts, feels way too overdone in terms of productions and just, meh. Makes me think of Miracle Drug (which I love), but almost a poor man's Miracle Drug.
  2. Yeah, same for me.

    I mean I do get it that is has powerful set of lyrics but somehow I just seem to skip it more than listen to it. I actually like the acoustic version more.

    Indeed - the lyrics have weight, but I feel the song doesn't do them justice. I think the song is the most symbolic of the Tedder / Epworth influence that do little for me; I'm not much of a fan of either, responsible for a huge amount of bland / beige music that's around these days.

    Like lots of people have said here, I would love to hear the DM-only version. Not sold on SFS as a song, but he may have taken a different direction that would have done more for me. Or not, who knows!
  4. I like the song, but I also like everything DM-related, so...
  5. i love this song...

    how come there isnt a instrumental version/ karaoke version of this yet? normally its not long before the songs come out on youtube as karaokes
  6. Great song, love it !!

    Thanx 4 your Cover LikeASong,
  7. Thanks for your words
  8. It seems U2.com has spotted some of our covers in Youtube...
