    because it's an odd coincidence, that mere months after this demo (by May 2014) Coldplay would release Sky Full of Stars... blatant EDM, produced by Avicii, and lyrically about stars...
  2. Looks like it was pulled from YouTube, unfortunately. I’m not asking anyone to send it to me, because that would be against the rules.

    it's not on youtube. But you can find it easily.
  4. I did a 3D mix of it which was taken down as well + I had a copyright strike for the first time. They're serious about this
  8. My good friends, what a gold was that?

    Amazing, Avicii and U2 are all about!! I wished we had the time for an entire album from this partnership. They are great together.

    Well “Come and Go” is a beautiful pop hit and maybe even Rock'n Roll, this final solo is fantastic, in my opinion an almost perfect hit of what could be a great restart for an recycled U2

    Anyway Iris is a better tribute for Iris Hewson and all about the album represents, that fits more with the album and that makes sense to be there.

    The sad part is leaving such a masterpiece like this, better than most part of things that U2 has done in the last few years outside is almost a crime, and for sure I still believe that a lot of material like this is hidden, the album "Unrealesed & Rare" proves that.

    I don’t know if its Steve Lillywhite coming back or if could be Avicii, but U2 needs a new guide, new north to dream, to change, I don’t know how much Paul McGuiness helped in the musical part, but U2 had lost a lot of power in the last decade. I know they’re old, but this song proves they still can sound brand new, classic and U2.

    Any accoustic version will bring back the power from the biggest live band, but maybe a song like this.
  9. Just a hunch, but I don't think Avicii will be coming back. I like the sound and take on the lyric, and it's cool to hear something from a while back, but it's almost 10 years old. Come to think of it, this song is like a star- seeing the light now of something that happened long ago

    If he does come back it will be a change of paradigms for people everywhere

    Of course he won't be back, he's not the terminator, he is dead LOL just kidding

    unfortunately he passed away in 2018 by suicide

    But I feel you, if U2 had liked the sound they would've tryed it on next albums and right now seems they are far from it.

    The POP really was a trauma for them.
