"Kingdom of Your Love" (2009)
Demo Song
Background Information
“Kingdom of Your Love” is a demo title from the No Line on the Horizon recording sessions, which may have become the song “Soon.”
When the U2360 tour debuts in Barcelona Spain in June 2009, the first show on the tour opens with this piece of music, which Gavin Friday confirms is a U2 song. The song is listed as “Kingdom Intro” on set lists, and called “Kingdom of Your Love” throughout the tour, and eventually is released in the deluxe version of the U2 from the Rose Bowl video as a 7-Inch single. On that single, the song is now called “Soon.”
In the book accompanying the box set and the magazine versions of No Line on the Horizon a number of song titles are listed on a board above Edge’s head in one of the photos included. The song titles include songs we know about and a few other names that had not been seen. The full list included “I Was Lost,” “No Line on the Horizon,” “Moment of Surrender,” “Magnificent (French Disco),” “Chromium Chords,” “Tripoli,” “Cedars of Lebanon,” “For Your Love,” “Sexy Boots,” “Breathe,” “Hymn / White as Snow,” “Not as Yet,” “Diorama,” and “Kingdom of Your Love.” “I Was Lost” is likely an early version of “Unknown Caller.” “French Disco” was revealed to be “Magnificent.” “Chromium Chords” and “Tripoli” likely merged along the way becoming “Fez – Being Born.” “For Your Love” is an early title for “Stand Up Comedy,” “Sexy Boots” an early title for “Get on Your Boots” and “Diorma” an early title for “I’ll Go Crazy”.
