U2 - Book Of Your Heart
 Album:
Songs Of Experience (2017)
  1. yes, it should have last for 6-7 mins
  2. If someone could edit it to add a small fade in at the beginning it would be great.

    Other than that, if it didn't end so abruptly and early, this would be in my top 5 of all time, is really good, but I've already made my point in a very explicit and crass way.

    "You can change your name, or even who you are
    That's the beauty of the scar
    That is the contract of the heart"

    What does this mean? i have my own view just wanted to hear your thoughts.

    I had some general ideas... so in life, you can change your name and who you are - you can disappear from the record and not be recognised by your original name anymore... but a scar stays with you, whatever change you make, that scar can identify you.

    He's saying that love - long-term, proper-built love, is like a scar, and it's the contract of the heart. Whatever you change, anything that happens to you in life - that will stay.

    In this sense, I love that he refers to it as a scar - it's something achieved through pain and endurance... this is a realistic view of love, it's not all flowery happy moments, it's surviving the tough moments that make love strong.

  6. I think this is the closest U2 has come to sounding like something they could've wrote for the Joshua Tree that probably wouldn't of made the album itself, but as a B-Side (which it is essentially here, if they were to release singles again instead of "Deluxe Editions).

    Sounds more like Zooropa to me.
  9. The song is way too short, only 3,55. And its a shame that BOYH is just a bonus track. Should be the closer of 8 minutes long.

    Musically nothing wrong with Coldplay as long as Chris Martin is not singing.
