Longest U2 song names
« on: December 13, 2017, 03:58:13 PM »
So “Love is bigger than anything in its way” got me thinking - u2 has a habit of making really long song names - going all the way back to “ I still haven’t found what I’m looking for” .... but what’s the longest?

Longest I can think of is “Alex descends into hell for a bottle of milk / Korona 1”

Any longer?

"Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me" is probably the hardest one to talk about.

I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of
Tryin' To Throw You Arms Around The World

Bono seriously needs to figure out how to cut down his song titles.
I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight is probably the worst song title ever.

Bono is putting the whole chorus into the title. But I have to admit, sometimes it works for me. Trying to throw your arms around the world just fits its name ;)

Wow, there's a lot of long titles... also a lot of single word titles.

Trash, Trampoline and The Party Girl
One love, One blood, One life;
You got to do what you should.
One life; With each other
Sisters, Brothers
One life; But we're not the same
We get to carry each other, Carry each other
