The biggest classic-U2 ballad on Songs of Innocence. Produced by: Danger Mouse and Ryan Tedder “The most beautiful sound I ever heard…We were pilgrims on our way.” It sounds like the band are very purposefully not trying to sound like the Ramones here, though – instead, the track starts with powerful, almost “Mysterious Ways”-like burst of guitar from the Edge, and is driven by a lilting Bono melody and an overdubbed vocal refrain. “Everything I’ve ever lost now has been returned,” Bono sings. The first song captures the big bang of Bono’s musical awakening: the first time he heard the Ramones. More than any U2 album before it, Songs of Innocence goes deep into Bono and the rest of bandmembers’ teenage years in Dublin in the Seventies. Produced by: Danger Mouse, Paul Epworth and Ryan Tedder The album, which was delivered free to all of Apple’s iTunes users (a half billion of them), is “very personal,” Bono tells Rolling Stone in an exclusive interview. U2 took the stage at Apple’s product-launch press conference in Cupertino today and surprise-released their new album Songs of Innocence with a mere five seconds of warning. ![]() |
