Magnificent Single
Declan passed along this info to us – looks like the next single appears to be “Magnificent.” Radio stations will have an edited version of the song to play based on the promo single that’s hitting mailboxes.

Great. Wish it had been the first. Hope the next one will be Breathe.
edited ? why edit a great song ? let it be unleashed in all its undisputed glory,,,
Why is this song being edited anyway? Just for the sake of it? …
it needs to be edited — it’s pushing 5 and a half minutes! wayyy too long for radio. besides, i’d love to hear a three minute version of magnificent — imagine that song wound up tight like a pop-corn kernal bursting to pop. that’d be AWESOME.
i’m so excited! Magnificent is my most fave song in the album!
hope they keep the edge’s guitar solo intact!
Bono mentioned in NY it might be Crazy as the 3rd single.
also said 3-4 singles would be released.
My buddy asked him why Boots first, he wouldn’t answer.
Boots was there for a reason.
He knows we love the element of surprise :>
An edited version is a must for radio airplay, specially if it is going to try to fight it out with all the pop and hiphop.
The intro, though cool, is too long for radio play, so that’ll be trimmed down for sure.
