1. Topic for track 13 of Songs Of Experience. Described as Song for Someone with a new arrangement and the same chorus.

    A song to Bono's sons.

    Lyrics:
    And if the terrors of the night
    Come creeping into your days
    And the world comes stealing children from your room
    Guard your innocence from hallucination
    And know that darkness always gathers around the light

    If there is a light
    We can't always see
    And there is a world
    We can't always be
    If there is a dark
    Now we shouldn't doubt
    And there is a light
    Don't let it go out

    When the wind screams and shouts
    And the sea is a dragon's tail
    And the ship that stole your heart away
    Sets sail

    When all you've left is leaving
    And all you got is grieving
    And all you know is needing

    If there is a light
    We can't always see
    And there is a world
    We can't always be
    If there is a dark
    Now we shouldn't doubt
    And there is a light
    Don't let it go out

    'Cause this is a song
    A song for someone
    Someone like me

    I know the world is done
    But you don't have to be
    I've got a question for the child in you before it leaves
    Are you tough enough to be kind?
    Do you know your heart has its own mind?
    Darkness gathers around the light
    Hold on
    Hold on

    There is a light
    We can't always see
    If there is a world
    We can't always be
    If there is a dark
    That we shouldn't doubt
    And there is a light
    Don't let it go out

    And this is a song
    A song for someone
    This is a song
    A song for someone
    Someone like me
    Someone like me
    Someone like me
  2. Is this real? After Volcano II a Song for Someone II?
  3. Life is Brutal
  4. Yep, can't make this stuff up. Also Lights of Home is Iris 2 (I'm not kidding). The "free yourself to be yourself" will come back.
  5. "We are performing some of the new songs with an orchestra on the BBC next week."
  6. As someone stated before this theme would have worked if the albums were released within a short space of time of each other....now it looks lazy and cheap. They could get awful blowback from this

    Yep, I was the one that said it, hehe.
  8. Hmm fair point
  9. So what business did this album have getting delayed as much as it has? To add some lame references to slaves and the statue of liberty? I think back to last year when YTBTAM was first leaked and truly believe if anything the extra time has made the song worse.
  10. I wrote this 22 days ago, when I didn't know they were going to re-use Volcano lyrics:

    Reality is stranger than fiction.
  11. I don't mind it, since SOI and SOE are a pair
