1. You should hear it @LikeASong, no way that's Edge to my ears. It's Bono's falsetto all along and a second (octave lower) vocal of him joins..
  2. Here is that part, let's listen again. I'm still #teambono

  3. it's the best "short" U2 song imo

    the ocean (1:35)
    october (2:21)
    scarlet (2:53)
    mlk (2:34)
    love is all we have left (2:41)

    Couldn't care less about the others, but October is a classic.

    Also, Love Is All We Have Left is 4 seconds longer than the average of all Ramones songs (2m37s) and 2 second shorter than the average of all Beatles songs (2m43s) so what we consider "short" is quite subjective

    True. In terms of Pink Floyd and similar bands songs it's just the start of the intro of the song lol.

    Btw. Love Is All We Have Left is really great and of course October is classic and was great to hear it in 2015

    Hahaha yeah I was thinking about Pink Floyd and how they'd laugh at my comparison I think their average song length is around 5:45 or even 6 minutes which is ridiculously high considering how many interludes and short songs they have!

    Anyway, I'm derailing as usual. I agree that Love Is All We Have Left is great, I love it and it's one of the best songs in SOE - so different to everything else, and definitely not what you expect when you play the album. Kudos to them!

    I think I agree with you.

    October is a U2 classic. It's a beautiful song.

    But Love Is All We Have Left, is so different, so interesting! It also reminded me of U2 from the 90's, the AB to Pop period. U2 at their experimental best.

    The first time I heard it I was grinning ear to ear, I was so excited for what was to come. I like SoE a lot. But nothing else reached the heights of that first listen to LIAWHL.

    Definitely the most interesting album opener since Zoo Station. It especially stands out after two decades of lead singles / straight-forward rockers (in NLOTH's case) opening albums.
