    That's why Bono is a genius when writing song lyrics

    I was thinking the same yesterday. Perfect lines to describe our selphie/social media infested world.
  3. Basically a chopped up and worse version of Xanax & Wine.
  4. can really appreciate why these tracks didn't make the final cut
  5. Think I prefer this to Fast Cars personally. Country Mile I'm struggling with though and feel they definitely made the right choice cutting that out.
  6. A rough tune with again too many ideas trying to work together, and in that respect closer to their early writing style like the Boy and October albums. Fast Cars works better if more of a pastiche musically. I also noticed when listening again to Country Mile elements of 'Winter' in the verses.
  7. Fast Cars is more smoother. You can definitely tell this is a demo but it is still not that bad. Country Mile is a great song but imo would not fit in to the actual album
