Rumor has it that the international Irish band U2 is releasing soon their latest album and one of the tracks is called “The Cedars of Lebanon”.

U2 have put out more nearly fifty hit singles in four different decades and made it internationally with their hit singles and pop rock rebellious music. While there’s been no official confirmation, industry sources suggest that the new U2 album will be released in Ireland on November 14, with ‘The Cedars Of Lebanon’, ‘Moment Of Surrender’, ‘For Your Love’, ‘One Bird’, ‘If I Could Live My Life Again’, ‘Love Is All We Have Left’ and ‘No Line On The Horizon’ among the songs that are expected to feature. U2's producer Daniel Lanois revealed the track“The Cedars of Lebanon” in an interview with the Montreal magazine, Voir. He said the song was inspired by Jimi Hendrix but no lyrics were clear yet.

“No Line On The Horizon” : Bono and Edge played this song for a USA Today writer during an in-the-car interview at the Sundance Film Festival. On hearing it, writer Anthony Breznican says “heavy distortion fills the car,” and later adds, “The song is rough, weaving between brutal guitar blasts underscoring the mellow title refrain.” Edge explains that the song “came out of a new distortion box that my guitar tech got.”

“If I Could Live My Life Again” : Bono says this song is “inspired by the great Argentinean poet Jorge Luis Borges.” Bono said he had just begun the song while speaking with author Michka Assayas.
