U2 have shared another reimagined track from their upcoming album “Songs of Surrender”. A new version of “Beautiful Day” was released on Friday.
“Songs of Surrender” will include re-imagined and re-recorded versions of 40 songs spanning U2’s decades-long career.
The band offered more details in a handwritten note mailed out to fans: “The fact is that most of our work was written and recorded when we were a bunch of very young men. Those songs mean something quite different to us now”.
“Music allows you to time travel and so we started to imagine what it would be like to bring these songs back with us to the present day and give them the benefit or otherwise, of a 21st-century re-imagining.” The letter continues, “What started as an experiment quickly became a personal obsession as so many early U2 songs yielded to a new interpretation.”
“Songs of Surrender” will be out on March 17th.
