The results aren’t world-shaking, and Your Song Saved My Life is a long way from being cutting edge. After a lilting piano opening, the tune builds to a big, weepy chorus featuring Bono and Edge’s voices in gruff unison. The guitarist does seemingly pop up on the chorus, however. It is uplifting in a generic sort of way, and is 90 per cent Bono emoting his lungs out, with swooping strings coming in during the part where the Edge was traditionally given permission to cut loose. Your Song Saved My Life is U2 pastiching U2, which isn’t necessarily a disastrous decision at this point in their career. U2’s new single soundtracks the animated film Sing 2, so it is fitting that it has a vaguely cartoonish quality.
