1. I think the image is that anyone who has lost everything (like a baby on a doorstep) will still 'say' : love is all we have left. If everything's gone, if there's nothing (the void) there is still love.
  2. I quite like the Summer of Love background vocals. And the dance remix of The Showman.
  3. I never got around to posting my album review, but for SOE, only one song got 1/10, the "poor" rating, and it is Love Is All...
    The autotune is one of the worst decisions they ever could have made in the history of popular music. Pandering to young people who require that their singers need to all sound like the same
    f*****g robot is nonsense, and for U2 to follow that trend is horrendous for a band with the stature and reputation to fall for that. I blame Ryan Teddy Bear Tedder, Danger Rat, and anyone else with a say on that. Actually, it is probably Barlow, and he REALLY REALLY sets the BAR LOW with stinking Auto Tune... I can tell you that even though Eno and Lanois may have been getting stale, but they would not have done this awful crime. Would have been an easy 7/10 without the autotune, but it would be like putting ten pounds of salt with Sardines on a nice Steak, horrible, awful, bad, stink. Anyone guess that I hate Autotune?

    Wow, I also hate autotune, but I thought they handled it pretty good in this song, it sounds really cool.
  5. I would say the auto tune almost makes the song rather than takes away from it. It adds another dimension to what is a very experimental sounding track and a great opener to a u2 album. This song in no way makes me think of a band wanting to pander to young people, quite the opposite in fact. I can imagine this song being more than a challenge for anyone who only likes chart stuff and current commercial music.

    oh god... please tell me I didn't sound like that after listening Zoo Station for the first time... I did... didn't I?
  7. This is the best song on the album. A real shame it’s immediately followed by one of the worst in recent U2 memory.

    You hated it when Prince used it as well?
