U2’s 'Your Song Saved My Life' is Possibly the Worst Song of the Yea

04 November 2021

U2 have shared a new song called “Your Song Saved My Life.” Their new track appears on the soundtrack to the upcoming animated film Sing 2, which stars Bono as a reclusive lion rock star named Clay Calloway. Listen to the new song below. Sing 2 hits theaters on December 22.

US site Consequence said - U2 have dropped “Your Song Saved My Life,” in the same sense that one might drop a fart.

The treacly mess is destined for the soundtrack to Sing 2, where it will be ham-fisted even by the standards of a franchise where pigs cover Taylor Swift.

Bono’s lyrics imagine a deeply-moved fan gushing to a songwriter about the immense power of Bono’s that artist’s work. Aren’t they heroes, these noble songwriters?

You know a raspberry, when you stick out your tongue and blow? Bono’s lyrics deliver more raspberries than a British bake-off. “Yes your song saved my life,” he warbles, with a melody that makes AM adult contemporary sound like a nonstop thrill ride. “It’s what got me to the other side/  I was broken now I’m open,  your love keeps me alive.”

U2’s “Your Song Saved My Life” is one of the worst high-profile releases of the year, and it’s waiting for you after the jump. Sing 2 is set for release on December 22nd.
