U2 are back in gorgeous fashion! This soft, majestic, and delicate song will be featured on the upcoming documentary 'Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom', and is the exciting precursor to a new album! With a simple and elegant lyric video that is beautifully done, U2 prove that they are far from done, and plan on continuing to make powerful and evocative music that stirs something in all of us.
The Edge speaks about the construction of the song as:
We thought it should be a love song, a very human song. Not epic, not earnest in dealing with world-changing political shifts but personal in two people trying to hold on to one another in the face of dreadful mistreatment and heartbreak.
There's certainly nothing ordinary about 'Ordinary Love'...another classic to add to the U2 treasure trove of transcendent tunes!
Not quite sure how much is different in this version, there's certainly more background instrumentation, but U2 have it up on their official SoundCloud, so it is also worth a listen! Enjoy!
