26 December, 2010 Could Do Better
Sorry guys not one of your better ones B+. Feels like you're just going through the motions. Probably took Bono 5 minutes to write. Where are the drums? Not enough Larry on your stuff these days. It's passable for a soundtrack song tho but nowhere near as good as The hands that built America or The ground beneath her feet. Does remind me of the philosopher's comment that "In the depth of winter I discovered inside me an eternal summer"

Not everyone that came back from the fighting in Afghanistan came back whole. This song captures the emotions and reality of the unsaid horrors of that war. Thank you for giving us a vehicle to express our emotions/experiences. Very Respectfully, emc

I swear that Bono's voice gets better and better. The lyrics are fantastic - again! I love that U2 can be what they are on stage and for their fans and then create something so beautiful for a movie - a little different but one can still recognise them. Fantastic!

great! Truly, truly great!
A special song for a special film and a special man. A song that makes me cry. A song that touches the hearts.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
Awesome.
BELLISSIMA!
It's the other face of "White as snow"
Two songs for two brothers.
Nothing is more important in a life than a brother.
YOU ARE MY BROTHER - YOU ARE MY BROTHER... This is the key
Thank you so much for this dream. A never ending dream.

Love the Linear version as well....but the more I listen to this, I am starting to love it too! Hope it is released as a single. We all wondered why it was not included in NLOTH... Bono's vocals great as usual. Can hardly wait to see them in July 2010 in Toronto. Saw them both nights in Toronto and hope they add this to the playlist for 2010....

The beginning of the song is magic. Another outstanding hit from the BEST BAND in the world U2. hope to hear it in Paris 2010.

The track is very moving and explains how our soliders must feel being so far away and lost in this war, by being taken away from thier families. Very moving in my opinion. My cousin said the movie was awesome a really tear jerker, I can not wait to see it. Way to go U2 another great song!!!!

Very touching song and beautiful vocals as always, Bono. Please come to Copenhagen for the UN Climate Change Conference 7-18 December. The climate needs you, and the world leaders need to hear your voice! Love from Denmark.

10 December, 2009 What might have been
As the so called biggest band in the world,that tried and failed to be different, this shouldve been the 1st single off nloth.Really enjoyed it not only is it DIFFERENT & EXPERIMENTAL unlike the abysmal BOOTS, winter is also a song,a tune.Remember them fellas? If you mkae some listenable tunes not only will the radio start playing you again,you might sell some records again. From Snowy,in BOLTON.

09 December, 2009 MELANCHOLY THAT MANAGES TO WARM MY HEART
Although melancholic,it manages to warm my heart up. Maybe that's why it's call WINTER... can’t wait to listen to the whole song…

09 December, 2009 What a second
Folks are posting they like this version better than the one on Linear. I disagree. The tune on Linear has this driving cadence to it that really reminds me of the Unforgettable Fire tunes. The Brothers version sound over produced and loses all that driving rhythm that has me anticipating its release.
What a bummer...

09 December, 2009 Finally
I heard this tune on the Linear DVD and have been waiting for it to be released. When will we get to buy this one?

09 December, 2009 Want to hear more
Intriguing ballad with the Bonovox's gift blazing (gently) through.
Look forward to hearing more.

09 December, 2009 Beautiful Track - Tough Film
The track is beautiful no matter which version. I have to say that this film should be seen by ALL. My old friend from high school was killed while serving with the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan earlier this year. He left behind his wife and 4 children. I think of him often but especially when I hear this song. This band has helped me get through so many difficult times. May sound silly but I feel like I owe U2 a huge debt of gratitude for opening my eyes when I was a teenager and for healing my heart well into adulthood. Thank-you!

09 December, 2009 WEAK!
Bad Mix. Muddy and abstract. Vocals are Horrible!

09 December, 2009 Beautifully moving
After a few listens to this version, I really think both versions are equally good. While I have not seen the Jim Sheridan film, based on the description, I can only imagine that it is a moving story and that this version lends itself beautifully to the mood of the film. Yes, Bono's voice sounds a bit rough, but I think that compliments the mood of the movie. Can't wait to hear the entire song. Will be interesting to see which version they play on tour.

09 December, 2009 Good
I like the remix a lot . I think this is one of those songs where Bono needs to finesse more than hammer - it's a little rough vocally, but overall good. :)

09 December, 2009 Excellent
