1. U2songs.com: Norwegian DJ, Kygo has played a new song that features Bono of U2, titled “The Best Thing.” Twitter user Nemi who was at the festival performance confirmed for us that “Kygo premiered the song and introduced it as a collaboration between him and U2. I don’t think it has been released yet.” http://www.ba.no says it is a new song with Bono on vocals. And http://www.vg.no is calling it a new U2 song.

    The DJ was performing at the Cloud Nine festival in his hometown of Bergen, Norway. The song was played at the end of his set, and was called “The Best Thing”. He introduced it during his set as a “brand new song I’ve never played before that I’ve made with U2.” Kygo’s manager, Jan M. Bjordal confirmed later to the media that the song was a collaboration between U2 and Kygo.


    Lyrics attempt. Missing some things, couldn't make sense out of it, anyone wants to suggest/correct?

    When you look so good
    The pain in your face doesn't show
    When you look so good
    Baby you don't even know
    When the world is ours
    And every door smells of fresh paint
    When the girl involved
    Says its friction that makes you a saint
    When we've seen enough
    To know it's children that teach
    When you're free enough
    To wake up on a bed on a beach

    You're the best thing about me
    The best thing that ever happened to boy
    You're the best thing about me
    I'm the kinda trouble that you enjoy
    You're the best thing about me
    The best thing are easy to destroy
    You're the best thing about me

    Why.. why am I walking away
    Why am I walking away

    I'll be crying out
    How bad can a good boy be?
    Shooting off my mouth
    That's another great thing about me

    I got everything, but I feel like nothing at all
    There's no risky thing for a man who’s determined to fall

    You're the best thing about me
    The best thing that ever happened a boy
    You're the best thing about me
    I'm the kinda trouble that you enjoy
    You're the best thing about me
    The best things are easy to destroy
    Save me from myself

    The best thing
    The best thing
    (Edge?)
  2. I'm the kinda trouble that you enjoy
  3. The lyrics come up on the screen during the chorus, Remy

    Ah really? I listen to this stuff without looking at the video

    What about the other missing parts?
  5. For me this would be the best single since city of blinding lights in terms of its commercial appeal. Boots and the miracle didn't quite fit the bill for me, although I am a bit of a fan of the latter. Might just be an 'extra' like invisible though, but at least it's out there in some form.
  6. Makes me think about Levitate
  7. Is it a remix of a SOE song? Or is it a song on its own?
  8. Different video here:

  9. Those lyrics are a bit naff. Catchy number though.
  10. Liking (and singing ) it already!
  11. DJ Kygo is performing at closing of Rio games. He might drop the song there. Part of launch of Olympic TV.
