Despite having been inducted into the Hall of Fame, won multiple GRAMMYs and other international awards, U2 remains connected to their origin in the desert. Bono and The Edge, meet up with Zane Lowe in the desert outside Las Vegas to reflect on their fifteenth studio album, 'Songs Of Surrender'.
The band gives some insight into the environment that helped craft the new album and the experience listening to their catalog through the lens of the present day. They admit that the bundle they were as a result of the COVID pandemic influenced the project greatly. These circumstances, however challenging, allowed the band to experiment with new sounds and push them out of the "indie mentality".

As much as I absolutely adore and respect this band creatively and musically, the thing I’m most blown away by is that in an industry that is littered with volatile interactions, breakups, drugs, ODs, and salacious accusations/actions, the original lineup of Larry Mullen Jr, Adam Clayton, Edge, and Bono have stayed together uninterrupted for 45 years. That’s absolutely bonkers. No one in the history of rock has been able to say that. These 4 guys as a whole, and as individuals, are such a treasure.

I am kind of new to really loving U2. ( I’m in my thirties for reference) Always familiar with them, and even owned a couple of albums, but never my favorite band… but a couple of years ago I was in the desert with friends. Joshua Tree specifically, and we did edibles and listened to the JT and I swear to god , I have never had such a mind blowing music experience. Good edibles I guess ! Edge’s guitar was like nothing I had ever heard even though I had legit heard it 1000 times. Now I hope I get a chance to see them tour again!

@Alpha_7227 Год назад

At the same time, I think they have over cooked their last 2 offerings by being too precise. I wish they would just spend time and jam and what ever comes out - that's it. Like Zooropa. Wasn't that written mostly on the road. Also if you listen to the cure. What I like about them is some of their latest material have long intros, basically instrumentals before you reach even the 1st verse. It's majestic, etheral.

@katharinenoble1682 Год назад

Thinking about choruses, verse-chorus-verse structure -- I've been pondering this for a long time, most of my life. Zane says "End of the World" has no chorus; I don't know what it's called, but it has a 'punctuation': every time Bono repeats "End of the World" and Edge does that guitar riff, that's what brings you back, it's the theme. Same with "In My Life" (mentioned at about 30 minutes in), there's a repetition of the theme. And, the song that really got me thinking about this 30 years ago when I was a kid, was Simon & Garfunkel's "America": though there's no chorus, every time they crescendo of "look for America!," as a listener, you know that's the key to the ongoing narrative of the song, the whole point. I think it's a cool structure. (note that these three examples of this structure are all badass songs)

What I like best about Zane's interviews with U2 is that he doesn't just go through the interview questions, but rather participates in a conversation and is not shy to express his opinions and apply his knowledge/perception to the topic at hand. Really nice to sit down and hear a conversation with the band that we all dream of doing, but are often too star struck to attempt should we be lucky enough to be in front of the artists we adore. My friend put the new record on low volume as accompaniment for our reunion after years apart on the 17th, all hearing it for the first time together, and not all of us U2 fans...it was magic.

U2 got some of the best lyrics out there, I really love the way Bono write the words to their music, it's very poetic and you don't always get what's it's about. And sometimes it the opposite, very laid out. Edge describes it well too, it's about the words sounding good to the melodies.
