We’ve embedded both preview tracks above, and they will go live when the songs are available in your own country. If you live somewhere that it’s already Monday, take a listen! Let us know what you think?!

Love has got a hold on me
taking all control of me
Got the very soul of me
Soul soul soul soul
Want to take you next to me
Don’t want to be your enemy
Don’t think this war was meant to me
No no no

And happiness is for those who don’t really need it

Stop talking
I’m talking to you
Keep walking
We’ll make it through
It’s hot here
Not even a breeze
Trying to make friends of our enemy

Can’t hear you
There’s an echo on the line
Not near you
You’re on my mind
In the desert
It won’t be long
I’m here for the atomic bomb

“Happiness” (Partial song lyrics, Lyrics by Bono and The Edge)

These appear to be the only two previews being newly shared. Although both were heard in the trailer for the album, this is not the exact same passages.
