ôThis is a song of surrender,ö Bono ad-libs on a
low-key, acoustic version of U2Æs 1984 epic ôBad,ö
one of many highlights from their fascinating new
album, Songs of Surrender. Instead of the massive,
impossibly moving showstopper about young heroin
deaths that floored Live Aid nearly 40 years ago,
ôBadö here becomes an acoustic ballad, complete with
delicate cello and wildly different lyrics that
transform the song into a meditation about giving in
to the passage of time and the loss and resignation
that comes with that process.
That sense of looking back and taking stock is all
over Songs of Surrender, on which the band offers
stripped-down, usually acoustic renditions of songs
from throughout their career. The 16-song, single-CD
version is a kind of alternative-history greatest
hits; the expanded edition packs in 40 tunes
(including, yes, ô40ö), divided into four, 10-song
sections, one for each band member.
Overseen by the Edge with producer Bob Ezrin, the
results reverse a key U2 idea: the band that
originally built its legend by taking Seventies
post-punk out of the club and into the stadium à
goes small, stripping back songs to their bare
essence, slowing them down and often rewriting them.
This is U2 for the coffeehouse. You can imagine them
playing ôSunday Bloody Sundayö or ôWhose Gonna Ride
Your Wild Horses?ö in the corner of a small room,
only to be surprised when BonoÆs voice finds fresh
power.
U2 have been interested in the concept of surrender
for a long time ù after all, ôI Will Follow,ö their
first classic song, way back in 1980, was a ripping
anthem of spiritual submission. And their most
recent albums, 2014Æs Songs of Innocence and 2017Æs
Songs of Experience, have included meditations on
their past.
ôI Still HavenÆt Found What IÆm Looking Forö feels
like the closest to old-home week, with Brian Eno
and Daniel Lanios, the bandÆs frequent production
team, contributing backing vocals. But elsewhere,
songs get brand-new frames. ôThe Fly,ö a brilliant,
quasi-industrial song from 1991Æs Achtung Baby about
men being idiots, pulses with a new, slinky energy,
while ôUntil the End of the World,ö one of their
most explicitly Christian songs, takes on a new
intimacy. Elsewhere, ôStuck in a Moment You CanÆt
Get Out,ö a tribute to the bandÆs friend the late
MIcahel Hutchence from 2000s All That You CanÆt
Leave Behind, becomes even more moving in its new
less sky-bound form.
This a particularly interesting album for Bono and
the Edge. BonoÆs singing has changed radically over
the years, as heÆs found new vocal ranges, more
often going for the croon than the belt. Songs like
ôOneö and ôVertigoö are a showcase for that more
pliant instrument. But itÆs the Edge who feels most
triumphant here. Over the years, he has sometimes
been the victim of accusations that U2 tunes rely a
little too much on his simple melodies and a
dazzling array of guitar effects. On Songs of
Surrender, he reminds you these are sturdy songs
that can be rethought without any sonic window
dressing.
That sense of U2 as a band of wide-screen studio
sound painters was the topic of a conversation
between the Edge and Bob Dylan back in the Eighties.
As Edge recalled, ôI once said to Bob Dylan, æPeople
are going to be playing your songs for thousands of
years.Æ He said, æMan, theyÆre going to be listening
to your songs too. ItÆs just no oneÆs going to know
how to play them.Æö This album shows how universal
and accessible the simple act of sitting down and
playing a U2 song can be.
