The opening notes of ISHFWILF, I assume that’s Lanois. “Goodbye, and it’s emotional, good night, I’ll be up with the sun” - yup, it’s emptional for sure. The part in R.E.M.’s Drive where the electric guitar comes in, in my mind light flashes with each note. I really like R&H Silver and Gold, and in the film when Edge, Bono, and Adam are all in a row on stage completely locked in to their respective guitars, it’s great. Playing music in a group can sync up alpha waves or some shit, and musicians say they sometimes feel like they can read each other’s minds. No mind reading necessary here obviously, they weren’t noodling some jazz piece, but it’s just awesome seeing a band kind of become one organism.
My favourite part in a U2 song is the part in Lemon where it just sort of keeps on going after you think it's more or less reached the end, and there's this sort of creaking underneath the surface.

What are your favourite parts in a U2 song.I always liked the words and music in the part of RHMT when Bono sings "we wait all day for night to come... and it comes like a hunter, child".
Also, The Middle 8 AND the ending of LNoE (live)

Especially the way the backing music descends in notes, in the back ground, when bono sings"and it comes, like a hunter child"
You run! BOOM You run!BOOM

It would have been perfect at 4 minutes.
