"Every Breaking Wave" is the new song, U2 introduced in Helsinski.
'Like every breaking wave on the shore, this is as far as I can reach…' A beautiful acoustic number, evidently still a work in progress, with Bono saying to Edge as they jammed towards the end, 'break down the chords to the middle eight again…'
'No-one has heard that before,' he added at the close, 'Not even us.' We'll all be hearing it again.
For the non-Finns among you, Aleksis Kivi is the national author of Finland and everyone here knows of his legendary C19th novel Seven Brothers. But there's only four brothers in U2, observed the singing brother. ' On my left, on bass guitar, the Aapo of this band, Adam Clayton; behind me on the drums, Lauri Mullen Jnr; to my right on lead guitar, The Eero … and who does that make me, I'm somewhere between Simeoni and Juhani…'
