  1. Hopefully the band are in the video and it's not just Martin or Martin with Bono and Edge.

    More power to them if they get any real airplay...but I would bet against it. By last count in the last 3 days I have only heard it once on XM. The SOD with horns 4 times, Sweetest Thing 5 times, Magnificent 3 times, Happiness Is A Warm Gun 2 times...multiple plays of the Warhorses.
    "Fireflies" is being played approximately every three hours on U2 X-Radio. The SOD remix is being played at the same frequency. Both are being played about every three hours.

    In the past 36 hours:
    Fireflies 24
    Street of Dreams (Remix) 22
    Street of Dreams (Regular) 24
    Sweetest Thing 13
    Magnificent 7
    Happiness is a Warm Gun 2
  3. This one lasted a week for me. Already off rotation. The Tears of Things lives on.
  4. Did well , 2 days and I was done with it
  6. Likewise, Fireflies is not on repeat anymore for me. However, I've not stopped listening to Easter Lily since it came out, I think time will make it rank among U2's classics
  7. I find Tears of Things overwrought and a bit dull. Much prefer Street of Dreams and Fireflies.
  8. I must be somewhere in the middle. Love fireflies, quite like tears of things but lost interest in street of dreams. Still think fireflies is their best single in 20 years.

    An entirely valid opinion to hold. I think Tears of Things is a future Mercy.
  10. Tears of Things is one of their best tracks for many years. So full of emotion, outstanding lyrically and builds beautifully.

    Just my opinion of course. This could be a huge tour masterpiece.

    Its so wordy. I found it cool the first time. There are some great lines, but it doesn't have the same punch and pay off on repeated listening for me.
  12. Can't stop playing Street of Dreams and Fireflies on my way to work everyday
