Having had the same experience as Ferrari and Bonoschild I feel closer to this album for the lyrics and the meaning they have
My mother went away years ago and Iris like Kite reminds me of her
But this album is completely “ linked “ to my father who went away in February 2018 after a short struggle against cancer
It all began at the end of November 2017 short before the new U2 album issue and ended up in February
A short period that seemed that lasted a whole life
Even if I play some songs only once in a while a tear comes down
Originally posted by ASortOfDesire:I think this album (at least the second half) is sequenced horribly. When I listen to this album I can only listen to it in this order:
1. Love Is All We Have Left
2. The Blackout
3. Lights of Home (St. Peter's String Version)
4. You're the Best Thing About Me
5. Get Out Of Your Own Way
6. American Soul
7. Summer of Love
8. Red Flag Day
9. The Showman (Little More Better)
10. Landlady
11. The Little Things That Give You Away
12. Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way
13. 13 (There Is A Light)
And whenever I need some feels I listen to those last 4 songs in a row. They are so emotional and intimate and unlike anything else U2 has done.
Whoever's idea it was to put The Blackout in between them on the album should be ashamed of themselves.

YES. Same happened with Breathe, felt totally out of place in NLOTH's intimate ending.
