U2 - Summer Of Love
 Album:
Songs Of Experience (2017)
  1. if you ever write the guitar parts down, hmu
  2. I'm recording with a guitar tuned 2 semitones lower (DAFCGD instead of the standard EBGDAE, so the song is in F#m instead of Em), whatever I write down won't be of much use to you I'm afraid I will hit you up nonetheless.
  3. Yeah... this is my favorite song from the new album.

    Which means they probably won't play it....

    And it's masterfully crafted. That contrast between lyrics, theme and music. How can such a bright sounding song be so sad at the same time?



    Spot on. I am completely obsessed with this song.
  6. Yeah, I can't see this in their live set as a staple, I think they'll pull this out for the B-Stage a couple of times. Maybe snippet the chorus into another song.

    Where The Streets Have No Name / Summer Of Love (snippet)

    You heard it here first
  8. When I listen to this album drunk you best know i will sway by bony little Irish hips and tap my foot enthusiastically (but out of rhythm) to the hypnotic beat.
  9. Best song of the album IMO
  10. I was recording a full-on, 2 guitars & darbouka & acoustic bass cover but then I stumbled upon some videos of the Aleppo gardener and decided to go minimalistic instead.

    I hope you like it.

  11. According to the booklet the correct lyrics are for some it's pleasure, for some it's pain. Updated first post etc.
  12. Might be the best song on the album for me. Can't stop listening. As others have said, how can this be so bright sounding and so devastating at the same time? Keep singing "I've been thinking 'bout the West Coast"...

    (Also, fantastic cover, Sergio! And wow, unbelievable imagery. Love the White As Snow segue into Summer of Love.)
