I'm really going back and forth on this Lightning track.

Part of me really likes the structure and the melody, especially on the verses. It has a chance to sound really cool on record...

... OR it could be the cheesiest thing they've ever done if handled wrong. I keep picturing Bono singing that chorus while making lunge moves at the crowd for each "LIGHTNING BOOOOOLT", thinking that he's come up with something profound when in actuality she's just a lightning booooolt.

maybe if we put all those together, like patrick stewart having an existential crisis with a single tear rolling down his cheek after someone shits the bed with a bad joke.

I remember the first time I thought that PJ lyrics were lame in a similar way to these: only love can breakerfall.

If they produce "Lightning Bolt" right, it will sound like Evacuation.

IMHO.

And if this happens, I will be more happy than a happy thing that just became happier because of something happy happyning.

I don't get the impression that this is a "happy" song. None of the 3 so far have been happy. I get more of a sense of appreciate what you have before its gone.

I just said I would be happy, not that the song is.
