Due to be premiered on Monday!

 

Here's what DJ Dave Fanning has to say about it :thumbup:

 

 

From u2.com

'A big song with lots of layers...'

 

He'll be the first to play it on Monday, so what does Dave Fanning think of the new single ?

 

On Monday morning, the world finally gets to hear Get On Your Boots. As usual, the person to premiere the track will be Irish TV and radio presenter Dave Fanning, someone who's been championing the band since he first started playing their demos on pirate radio more than three decades ago. Ever since, Dave's got the first play of a new U2 single. We tracked him down at 2FM in Dublin.

 

So you’ve heard the single, which the rest of the world will hear on Monday - first impressions?

 

First impressions is that there’s eleven tracks on the album and ‘Get On Your Boots’ is the one you’d instantly say is the single. It’s the ‘Vertigo’ of the album - although a completely different kind of song. That was a new song which was an instant hit night after night on the last tour and this song will be the same on the next tour. People will be impressed, it’s very U2 and there’ s nothing wrong with that, a big song with lots of layers but not overproduced. Great track.

The cover artwork for the album is an image of the sea meeting the sky by Japanese artist and photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto.

:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: I heard it this morning on radio one, sounded really good, very catchy :dance:

 

anyone else hear it yet :unsure:

I love it! :o

 

Love the guitar and all the backing music.

 

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE :heart:

Very pop esque. I'm not sure what to make of exactly tbh. It's very funky, and I find it catchy, but I dunno, it seems all a bit, wrong?

 

I think this song will alienate a lot of their fanbase, and they won't like it, but then again at the same time I think this might bring a lot of younger generation to them, as like I said before, it is quite a funky song.

I am not over the moon about it tbh...they have far better songs than that...maybe it will grow on me but I hate saying that about a track when I first hear it because it never does...a bit weak for me as a U2 track.....lacks depth somewhat....guess after 30 years the diehard fans will but the album though....

It will be interesting to hear what the rest of the album is like...I had read that it was very much veered towards the trace genre & if that is the case it could sound like something we are not used to ...just my personal opinion...

I'm not sure about it either tbh. Is that the most obvious 'single' on the new album? :unsure:

Maybe it's a grower. :unsure:

 

(But then I said that about Rudebox :( )

and I said that about The Actor :cry: :lol:

 

It's catchy, keep listening to it, I don't get what the song is about though,

Boots maybe :lol: :wacko:

How dare you diss 'The Actor' :o :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

 

I dunno. It is kind of catchy. But it's not exactly setting the heather on fire here at Chez Jupsie :unsure:

Future needs a big kiss

Winds blow with a twist

Never seen a move like this

Can you see it too

Night is falling everywhere

Rockets hit the funfair

Satan loves a bomb scare

But it won’t scare you

 

Chorus

Yeah sexy boots

Get on your boots yeah

 

Free me from the dark dream

Candy bars, ice cream

All the kids are screaming but the ghosts aren’t real

Here’s what you gotta be

Love and community

Laughter is eternity if the joy is real

 

You don’t know how beautiful (2x)

You are

You don’t know

You get it do you

You don’t know

How beautiful you are

 

If someone’s into blowing up

We’re into growing up

Women are the future

All the big revelations

I’ve gotta submarine, you’ve got gasoline

I don’t wanna talk about wars between nations

 

Not right now

 

Sexy boots yeah (no no no)

Get on your boots yeah (Not right now)

Foxy boots

 

You don’t know how beautiful (2x)
