1. Iris has sentimental meaning for me, as I lost my mom a few years ago. Getting older and having some health issues, this album really speaks to me. And I think 13 is the best album closer they've ever had- even over Love Is Blindness
  2. I also lost my mother some years ago, and every time I listen to Iris, it still hurts somewhat extra.
  3. Listening to Iris im cryin as well we kustenjbg to LP Halo
  4. Not being a very good album in its totality it earns a very deep meaning with the lyrics that it’s got
    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

    So sorry to hear this.
  6. My uni course has me looking at a bit of poetry. William Blake features, specifically a poem from Songs of Experience. The poem? The Fly.

    A little coincidence I haven't came across before but no doubt it has been mentioned among these pages and a surprise amidst the dread of studying poetry.
  7. 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. Should have been replaced by MOS.

    I like your album order a lot

    This flows so much better.

  10. Absolutely, Breathe deserved to be the opening track!
