U2 - Moment of Surrender
 Album:
No Line On The Horizon (2009)
  1. What a brilliant album NLOTH is. And having songs like MoS, just....wow. Mindblowing.

    People were walking out of the Melbourne show because of this song - overheard 'boring', 'slow', 'dull' - they didn't get it.

    Winter and Soon should've been part of the album. Not B-sides, not relegated to a video, not on some vinyl hardly anyone got....as part OF the album.
  2. NLOTH has aged quite well. It would be nice to see those songs come back.
  3. It's only 7 years old. We'll see in 10 or 15 years time from now how it really ages!
  4. would go well on this tour perhaps?
  5. I often felt that the encore with WOWY and MOS was the highlight of the show
    But also that MOS did not always got Bono's full commitment. Especially noticeable in the "We set ourselves on fire/Oh God, do not deny her" part. MOS on "autopilot" is just
  6. The rap at the end of MOS are some of my favourite U2 lyrics. God is a mirror in which each man sees himself, hell is a place where you don't need any help...

    I would say Moment of Surrender is quite probably their best song of the 21st century.

    Couldn't +1 this post more, that rap is amazing.
  8. Moment of Surrender is absolutely their best song of the 21st century and is probably my favorite U2 song thus far. It's a spiritual song that utilizes concrete, physical imagery to keep itself rooted in the reality the human existence. You definitely see U2's Christian history manifested in this song.

  10. I've probably said this before, but seeing this live in Miami just after Clarence Clemons died where he did a super extended snippet (if you want to call it that - it actually became part of the song) of Springsteen's Jungleland was breathtaking...
  11. I really like this song but I think because it's on NLOTH I don't listen to it as much as I should. Although I did play it pretty regularly during the 360 tour so it's had it's fair share of playtime. It's my joint favourite from NLOTH alongside Breathe and I was really glad that we got the 3rd verse (we set ourselves on fire) in Glasgow which must have been only one of a handful of occasions they did it live. I'd definitely be happy to see it make a return in the future.
  12. It has become my favourite of NLOTH! Aged really well, such a good slow burner of a song
