I really love You're The Best Thing About Me
I find myself hearing its melodies in my head almost every day. I love all the versions made available so far. I also love The Little Things That Give You Away and The Blackout. I never thought I would still love U2's music after so many years.
For comparison, with the 3 most recent Coldplay and Alicia Keys albums, I have loved fewer and fewer tracks. I'm not criticizing Coldplay and Alicia Keys . . . . . . it's just that U2 has exceeded my expectations. I'm just amazed that U2 still writes such lovely music . . . . . . with meaningful lyrics. Well . . . . . at least that's how I feel about:
- their 3 tracks from 2017
- Songs Of Innocence . . . . . except for The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)
- Invisible
- Ordinary Love

Personally, I love "The Blackout" and "The Little Things That Give You Away", but I'm finding it hard to warm to "You're the Best Thing About Me". Even a middling U2 song is better than most band's stuff, but make no mistake, middling (for me) this one is.

I really loved the original Kygo 2016 version. There's something about this new version that doesn't quite work for me in any of its forms.
