Riff: U2 – “Every Breaking Wave”

Sep 16, 2014

If you go/If you go your way and I go mine/Are we so/Are we so helpless against the tide?

from Every Breaking Wave lyrics by U2

Rehashing the “With or Without You” method, with a modern-day Coldplay twist, this is the heartfelt balladic, star-crossed lovers single for the album. The adult contemporary crowd will be pleased, but melodramatic teens won’t get as much out of this as its predecessor.
