I'll meet you in the air
I'll meet you with the fare
On the Underground, wherever you be found
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you in time
I'll meet you, cruel or kind
The heart weighs a ton, if you need someone
And they're standing on the platform
But it's the other side
I'll meet you in the air
I'll meet you when you're not there
The shopping list of all you missed
Let's go there
I'll meet you in the surreal
I'll meet you in the joy you steal
Stones and sticks, you're kicking the pricks
And still, I'm learning how to kneel
Or what not to feel
And when we reach the Circle line
And when we stop the clocks stopping time
To wake up an unforgiving son
Wake in the dream that overcomes
In a life, we get a taste of it all
In a life
I'll meet you in the air
I'll meet you when you don't care
In the empty space that occupies your place
I'll meet you there
A penny on the track
We ran and get it back
The driver on the train, whose soul's in so much pain
Says love will flatten
But it won't crack
The coin won't crack
And when we make the bed out of war
Deafen our children with its roar
Repeat, rewind, replay once more
Never unsee the sights they saw
In a life
We get caught in the traffic
In a life
We make misery from magic
In a life
We miss the comic in the tragic
In a life
In a life
I feel alone, I need it known
I never achieved anything on my own
I feel alone, I need it known
I only received from being shown
I feel alone, I need it known
I never achieved anything on my own
A skipping stone, I was thrown
The ocean floor is not my home
In a life
We catch a glimpse of someone else
In your eyes
Caught a glance of myself
I'll meet you with the fare
On the Underground, wherever you be found
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you in time
I'll meet you, cruel or kind
The heart weighs a ton, if you need someone
And they're standing on the platform
But it's the other side
I'll meet you in the air
I'll meet you when you're not there
The shopping list of all you missed
Let's go there
I'll meet you in the surreal
I'll meet you in the joy you steal
Stones and sticks, you're kicking the pricks
And still, I'm learning how to kneel
Or what not to feel
And when we reach the Circle line
And when we stop the clocks stopping time
To wake up an unforgiving son
Wake in the dream that overcomes
In a life, we get a taste of it all

I'll meet you when you don't care

Just rated this a 3. The lowest I've ever rated a song here. I have no idea what this song wanted to be. But what's worse is, neither did U2. It felt like it was struggling to find a direction, only to eventually stumble upon one in the last half minute or so.
And I say this as someone who generally likes U2. I even love some of their songs.
But I guess it's to be expected with new creations. They are trying new things, and some of those may no longer be to my liking.
Or they've just run out of steam. Regardless, I thank them for all their previous work.

Hmmm, no comments on a brand new U2 song?
I guess my first reaction is that I kinda liked it.
Pretty low key, but interesting enough to keep you listening.

I appreciate they are trying to speak to the moment. And of course they cannot go back to a time and place - but these songs are so vanilla.
American Obit - I like the rebel nature of that one ...but not the others sadly ...
