June 4, 200718 yr What about this song 'Mercy'? Are we getting to hear it or not? :unsure: ON @u2.COM forum, I've read threads about the new album and they've all heard the song 'Mercy' and say it's one of the best U2 tracks ever, but they hope it won't be on the new album as they all know it so well now (well most people have'nt. <_< ). I posted asking for someone to send it to me, but my post was deleted. And there is no PM's on there so I could do nothing to get it. :( If anyone else is a member on a U2 forum try and get it. :P You can read about it and other leaked songs here. http://www.atu2.com/newalbum/
June 4, 200718 yr From the official Out Of Africa U2 are in Africa, writing songs with Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno. The band have set up a studio in Morocco’s medieval city of Fez where they have been writing and recording from morning till night for the past couple of weeks. ‘There’s no word on what the new material is for,' according to one of the team in Fez. ‘But they’re on a roll and the ideas are coming think and fast.’ The band met up with Eno and Lanois after flying down to North Africa from Cannes where 'U23D' was previewed earlier this month. It’s not the first time they have been in this ancient city. They visited in 1991 with director Stephane Sedanoui to shoot the video for Mysterious Ways. More news from Morocco on the way. http://www.u2.com/news/images/u2_fez.jpg

June 6, 200718 yr Lyrics to Mercy. I really want to hear it :cry: I was drinking some wine... and it turned to blood What's the use of religion... if you're any good I know i'm weedkiller honey... and you're sugar If you're the prosecution... i get away with murder If you were ice... i'm water And with your telescope... i can see further We're binary code... a one and a zero You wanted violins... and you got nero You're gravity... searching for the ground You're silence... searching for a sound Your heart is aching... your heart is my home It's fascinating... i know i'll never be alone I'm rippin' the stitches You got two hands to rub I'm in the ditches Of someone else's love Love is when i lie Love puts the blue back in my eye Love will come again I'll be gone again... again If you're hunger... baby let me feed it If your heart is full... baby let me bleed it And happiness is for... those who don't really need it You love me... too much You always loved me... too much When i was rippin' the stitches You got two fists to rub I'm in the ditches Of someone else's luck Love is when i lie Love puts the blue back in my eye Love has come again I am gone again Love's got to be with the weak Only then love gets a chance to speak Love will come again I'll be gone again... again I... i can't escape myself I hear you talk Feeling nothing I fear nothing Feel.... I can hear so much Fear nothing I feel so much Fear... nothing Love has come again I am gone again Love is the end of history The enemy of misery Love has come again I am gone again Love is justice, not charity Love brings with it a clarity Love has come again I'm alive again Alive... I am alive, baby i'm born again and again And again, and again and again and again Again

June 18, 200718 yr U2.com have a new article about the recent songwriting sessions in Fez. Sadly, it's available to subscribers only :unsure: I found a few highlights though :w00t: The sessions in Morocco lasted about two weeks, making a total of four weeks that U2 had worked with Eno and Lanois on writing new material. They'd previously done some writing and recording in France "a couple months ago." Larry says they'll probably continue this arrangement later in the year. "One track they've been working up sounds like a soul song with distinctly Arabic rhythms. Another is an epic story-telling piece which seems to run for seven or eight minutes." (Ed. note: sounds like "Mercy," doesn't it?) Local musicians -- percussionists and fiddlers -- have joined in some sessions. Some of the music is "being informed by the distinct Arabic music scale."
