(*Firstly, as ever, I searched the archives in case I was doubling up on another article but couldn't find one. If I did, apologies  )
That said, I was just thinking about if you could suggest snippets (from songs by other artists that haven't been done before or probably never would be under normal circumstances) for any U2 song, what would you put forward?
One suggestion I've regularly played around with is taken from a song called "Every River" by Runrig, who I've mentioned a few times before but I'm fairly sure no one else (other than Casper  ) knows of them, but when I'm on the piano I regularly segue from WOWY to the following lyrics (the chord progressions are fairly similar too, so on a practical sense it would work, aswell as the context being kinda similar in my opinion);
Every river I try to cross, every hill I try to climb
Every ocean I try to swim, every road I try to find
All the ways of my life, I'd rather be with you
There's no way without you
There's one suggestion from me, anyone else got any ideas?

Great topic, great suggestion...Need Bono's phonenumber?
I wouldn't know of any snippets right now, I'll think about one.

How about any Coldplay stuff? Something like Fix You in Stuck In A Moment?
NB - I just realised why people don't bother abbreviating Stuck In A Moment to initials lol...

Hmmm...interesting. SYCMIOYO could use A Message from Coldplay as a snippet. Great idea, but I don't think they will ever do such a thing.

Re. SYCMIOYO, I was just thinking of a really simplistic snippet, something like Hoobastank's "The Reason" could perhaps fit, although the bit that I had in mind may be too similar to "you're the reason I sing"; I was just thinking at the end, I could imagine Bono singing "and the reason is you" over and over again?
Just another thought

And a good one...U2 should definately improvise in the snippets. I wonder where they will come up with on the new tour. Maybe a snippet for COBL? Or OOTS?
