I've been looking forward to this for weeks, and it has finally come to pass... three weeks earlier than officially scheduled. Sunday, a BBJ Radio One DJ named Sarah played the new U2 single "Electrical Storm" (which she received personally from Bono as a wedding present) and some enterprising soul captured a great quality feed and put it online. I heard it today and it's really good. Like a few of the songs from All That You Can't Leave Behind, it's mid-tempo, and it has grown on me with repeated listens.

My favorite lines from the song:
You're in my mind
All of the time
I know it's not enough
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
To love and only love

The single will hit U.S. radio September 16th, music stores October 21st, and the song will appear on U2's Best of 1990-2000 which hits stores November 12th. "Electrical Storm" is definitely worth a listen... or ten. Visit @U2 for a list of sites with an mp3 download or U2 Log (where I heard about the leak) to stream the song in RealAudio.
