Received my copy of Ordinary Love today in the mail, turned on the News and heard of his passing at 95 yrs. old, A long walk to freedom indeed, Free at last, We will celebrate your life in song and are forever indebted to you for the legacy you have left us. Thank You!! Mr. Mandela R.I.P.

Thanks to the band for once again delivering wonderful music and a beautiful video. As always the band's message is timely and relevant, and its music melodic, hypnotic, and ethereal. The type of love epitomized by Mandela is so simple and ordinary, yet so rare in such a jaded and cynical age. As the US still grapples with endemic and institutional homophobia, I believe this song is an anthem for the Gay Rights movement and yet...its an anthem for the problems plaguing the world over. Transcendent. Haunting. Wonderful. I must have a new album and a new tour!!! God Bless you guys, you've scored my life since I was a 16-year old kid in Long Island, NY watching MTV, mesmerized by "Gloria".

My 11 years old boys went on the "International Town" field trip today in Denver, CO. As we were leaving, postcards were passed out with this written on the front of them: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela. Love the video.

Each year there seem to be one or more "special releases", but only in the USA... European fans never have a chance to obtain these unless they (we..) are able to pay hundreds of dollars on eBay. I think this is a shame, espacialy because U@ st5arted out in Europe ( Ireland, Holland Germany ....) before they were able to cross they "big puddle" to the US.. So i'd say : No more "USA only" releases ...

When will you release Mercy?

Is this vinyl release available in Ireland , I heard its a US only release? Anyone know ?

The song is absolutely amazing I wish we could hear the whole thing

could the u2.com shop sell it? apparently, u2 fans all over the world cannot get it, except the states?

Well, the speculation on Ordinary Love is rife, The great U2 machine has done it again, created mass fan hysteria and the promoters will milk it for all its worth. Don,t get me wrong i am a massive U2 fan and love all their songs but its just that - a song - admittedly I anticipate that it will be brilliant as always but just a song all the same. There are and I,m sure Bono would agree more important things going on in the world than whether you are the first to download Ordinary Love or whether you get it on vinyl. Come on folkes, calm down. PS can,t wait to get my copy...

Of course it should be available to subscribers! (one copy only, so we dont have to pay £100+ for it on E-Bay!)

Please make this available to order on this website for fan club members. It makes sense.

Now !!!

I'm with Bryan264... i'm surprised the song isn't available to view with the release so near, and hopefully both songs will be on the Mandela album, as i won't hold out much chance of getting the 'limited edition' Vinyl. But it's great to hear something new, and the snippet sounds infectious!

Can't get enough of this collection off of "From the Ground Up". "40" carries me out of this life of mine and to that other place.

Having no patience I cannot wait until 29 November. A little bit of info from U2.com to advise when we can simply hear the full version of the song would good, their silence is frustrating!!

Pre order of vinyl for europ and FRANCE

Happy Birthday, Larry!

Happy birthday larry, you are amaaazzzing. Xxxxxxxx

Happy B-day Larry, one of my best drummers. Love you in Side B of The Unforgettable Fire. Love you in all the ones in Raw, Rare and Remastered. Awesome in Breathe and Electric Storm. Thanks to you Sunday is a real hit!!! Thanks for existing in this life...and give us your music.

Anybody know will this be available in Ireland?

Anyone can help me to pre-order this treasure? I failed on most websites of RSD shops. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease.

download mp3 to subscribers, Now

we need the mp3 ¡ a month ? come on U2 share it ¡

I managed to pre-order this last night, from www.vvinyl.com :-)

available worldwide or just the States? Also any chance of hearing the song and not just the trailer clip?

I'll be travelling in the middle of the Australian outback on Nov 29 (no record stores out there), but as U2 and Mandela are two of my heroes, I'm desperate to get my hands on this vinyl! Anywhere I can order this online??

Where is the mp3??? Give us the mp3, please ;)

My ordinary love for unordinary U2. Love you, you're my soul.

The history of a person makes the difference to me, when think about the artist. I admire U2, admire Bono's actions and I think he's an example. Thank you, Bono! Thank you, U2! I first loved your songs, then I loved you guys so much more! About Mandela, it had to be with U2, for sure!! We've had angels on Earth and Mandela is one of them! And we have to thank Mandela for coming here, for living in this planet and for doing everything he did! By the way, wanna listen the whole song!! :)) From Brazil, Lilian

fantastic, nice artwork on the sleeve too, hoping we get an itunes or mp3 download somewhere too, cant wait to hear the full version.
