U2 - Love Is All We Have Left
 Album:
Songs Of Experience (2017)
  1. I don't know what's that you're smoking but it's some good shit
  2. Just curious. Are we ok with the autotune in this song? It threw me for a loop the first time I heard it and I'm not sure if I'd want to hear it again in other songs but I think I like it here.

    I love it. But, part of the reason it works is because it's not a typical U2 thing. So if they did it a lot, it would kind of lose its impact here.

    I compare it to when I heard Zoo Station for first couple of times. I wasn’t expectIn it since at that time you think Bono’s voice was a certain sound and it had changed so much and had a effect on it.
    Now you look back and love they did it. Same with this song. It’s somthing new that makes the song move forward with adding the effect.


  7. love is all we have left made me think that there was some influence from Carl Sagan's songs about the universe.......
  9. Yes.sounds good!.his deep voice Sounds good in this.

    One thing bothering me since day one:
    What the hell it's supposed to mean the "baby cries in a doorstep" line? I can't make any sense out of it...

    Unwanted children and babies have been abandoned on doorsteps.
  12. Oh sorry... Yeah I know that... What I mean is why is that particular line on this particular song that seems totally unrelated to that issue to me.

    Is he just using it as an example of things humans do that show how low can we go without love? Because it seems odd that he just uses one example, maybe not even the most significant, and since it's in the chorus, it gets to be repeated...

    The song puts you in the ethereal space, out of the human experience, you're at the other end of the telescope, there's only one human thing left, love, and love is all we have left... And suddenly a baby no one mentioned before, and won't be mentioned later, appears crying in a doorstep... Wtf?

    That's what bothers me, I find it out of place in this song.
    Or if there's an explanation (which Bono usually have), I'd like to know it...
