    Been listening to U2 literally since I was born and it's the first time I dislike a U2 song this much since the very first listen.

    Even worse than Ahimsa? 😱😱

  5. Yes. In all seriousness, yes.

    I didn't have the urge to turn Ahimsa off before it even ended. Sure, two years after its release I don't remember a single word or note from it, I seem to recall it's insipid, Coldplayish and forgettable, but at least it's got a message, it's well polished and features at least some of the U2 essence & sound.

    This song isn't forgettable, but I don't say that in a good way. I've been hearing the dreadful "your sooong saved my liiiife" chants in my head since yesterday - and I don't like them. It's like a 2nd league demo, the kind of song that would get relegated to be a B-side or an outtake in an album. The lyrics -except one or two good verses- are cheesy and childish. And the vocal take is really dismal, probably the worst I've heard from Bono ever.

    And last but not least, I've said this in the past but... The Edge really is not a good piano player at all, he should focus on playing guitar.

    I understand this song seves a purpose and I really hope it's not more than that - I pray it just dies once the movie is released and the Oscars are over. I don't want them to follow this sonic route for any new U2 song or album.

    to me, this song is in the same level of Summer of Love, doesn't cheer me up, but it's not a disaster
  7. 3 stars, it actually have been in my head since it came out so thats a good thing
  8. 1 star. I have listened to it once and don't intend to purposely listen to it again. Not added to any of my playlists or anything. It has a nice Little Things reference but thats about it.
  9. 5 stars. My wife actually liked this song

  12. Went for 4 stars, a 7.5/10 so rounding up as it’s heading towards an 8/10 anyway. Quite soulful the more I listen to it.
