Scattered Thoughts: Magnificent Covers

By on April 21, 2009 in Scattered Thoughts...

Here’s a look at two cover versions of Magnificent that have been uploaded to YouTube and are making the rounds. One is acoustic and one is on piano:

And … for good measure, here’s U2′s version live from Somerville Theatre in Massachusetts.

The Magnificent single will officially be released on May 4. The band recently shot an as yet unseen video for the song in Fez, with Alex Courtes. (Related: U2.com – Magnificent Morocco)

I can’t wait to see where U2 decides to place this song in the setlist for the live shows.

    I’d put money on the fact they’ll open with it…

    My money is on it being the opening song too.

    I guess the piano version is what it would sound like if Coldplay played this song.
