How hard do you fight for friendship? Can our faith survive the mangling of meaning that those algorithms love to reward? Is all religion rubbish and still ripping us apart\u2026? Or are there answers to find in its crevices? Are there ceremonies, rituals, dances that we might be missing in our lives? From the rite of Spring to Easter and its promise of rebirth and renewal\u2026 Patti Smith\u2019s album Easter gave me so much hope when it was released in 1978. I wasn\u2019t yet 18. The title is a nod to her.<\/p>\n<p>We will attempt hoopla and fanfare at a later date to remind the rest of the world we exist but in the meantime\u2026 this is between you and us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tracklisting for Easter Lily is:<\/p>\n<p>Song\u00a0for Hal<br \/>In\u00a0a Life<br \/>Scars<br \/>Resurrection Song<br \/>Easter Parade<br \/>COEXIST (I Will Bless The Lord At All Times?) \u2013 ft. a soundscape by Brian Eno<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Easter Lily EP\u00a0is accompanied by another\u00a0special digital\u00a0edition\u00a0of the band\u2019s fanzine, Propaganda.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncut.co.uk\/news\/listen-to-u2s-new-easter-lily-ep-153968\/\">Listen to U2\u2019s new Easter Lily EP<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncut.co.uk\/\">UNCUT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U2 have released a new standalone 6-track EP, Easter Lily.
