Songs Of Surrender (working title?)

[canadanne]

If anyone hasn't already heard, there will apparently be an album released in November consisting of new versions of old U2 songs. I wonder what on earth will be included and why. Their best stuff surely doesn't need redoing and I'm not sure what could improve the less good stuff...

Hadn't heard but I'm out of the loop lately... I agree with your assessment.
A little eerie that a few days ago I randomly had "Surrender" in my head (and how I still think it's a weak track and the backing vocals are jarring lol).

I hope I'll be pleasantly surprised by this project but I suspect it'll just annoy me, like when they messed around with Pop songs for the Best Of. :p

I like some of the lyrics to Surrender, but I agree it's one of the weaker tracks on the album. U2 and the Coconuts was a weird combination!

Same same same, I relate so hard to some of the lyrics themselves but the track doesn't do them justice.
