U2 reveal new track from Mandela film
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 22 October 2013
U2 went and unveiled a new song yesterday, their first in three years (I’m not counting Bono and co’s ‘Spider-Man’ OST because, honestly, who would?). Titled ‘Ordinary Love’, the track was written specifically to feature on new Nelson Mandela biopic ‘Long Walk To Freedom’, which is released into cinemas at the end of November.
“The band’s friendship with Nelson Mandela goes way back and it was after seeing early cuts of the film that they were inspired to write a song”, runs its blurb, whilst Harvey Weinstein, whose production co TWC is behind the film, adds:” When I asked U2 to consider writing a song for ‘Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom’, it was the fastest ‘yes’ I have ever received. I think they did a brilliant job honouring the man and the leader they have known for over 20 years”.
Hear ‘Ordinary Love’ playing in the background of this trailer for the movie.
