From another room, after still relatively few listens, this song made me feel as if I was still starting to get used to some new artist I'd heard that I knew I liked, and so I wanted to turn it up and hear more of it -- and then I saw -- it's that new U2 song! And it's good! Yet again, they seem to have digested and distilled some very Modern Vibes to lay down and put out powerful, relevant, and, as always, so heartbreakingly human feelings in cool new Music I can really use right about now... And, what a thrill that is, and I'm grateful! It's been fifty frickin' years of having their Divine Blessing in my life! I also love that this particular song makes me remember the only gal I've ever known by that intriguing name:  Sarina, whom I fell under the spell of on Pulau Tioman, Malaysia, in late 1990...lovely memories from a Paradise-like Time and Place... Thanks again, U2 and RP!

It may not have the impact of a song like Sunday, Bloody Sunday, but it's nice to see these guys are still standing up for social concerns all these decades later.

ok, not rubbish, while still being quite modern. U2 reinvent themselves again.

Big fan...but they've run out of "new" songs... just new lyrics.

The future, as everyone knows
Is where we're gonna be spending the rest of our life 
Who said the future is closed
Never saw the promise in her eyes… liberty 
And I'm running my mouth off
Running my mouth off 
It's not poetry 
And I'm running my mouth off again

Sarina Sarina
She's the song of the future
Playing in my mind
Gotta know gotta find a way to get to her
She's holding up the sign
All alone 
All alone 
But not alone 
Yeah, we're not alone
Sarina Sarina
She's the song of the future 
Yeah

Picture - heaven is closed 
All the classroom prophets gone to ground 
Schoolgirl says everyone knows 
Love is a verb and not a noun
Or so it seems 
It has me running my mouth off 
Running my mouth off 
It's not poetry 
But I'm running my mouth off again 

Sarina Sarina
She's the song of the future
Playing in my mind
Gotta know gotta find a way to get to her
She's holding up the sign
All alone 
All alone 
But not alone 
Yeah, we're not alone
Sarina Sarina
She's the song of the future

Sarina Sarina
She's the song of the future
Playing in my mind
Gotta know gotta find a way to get to her
She's holding up the sign
All alone 
All alone 
You're not alone 
Yeah, we're not alone
Sarina Sarina
She's the song of the future
Playing in my mind

Glad to see Bill threw this in the mix within 24 hours of its release! Thanks Bill. Was curious to hear it when I saw it dropped yesterday.

New U2 and not placed on my phone without my permission! Good stuff

50 years this band has been producing great music.  That's quite an accomplishment by any standard!
