Here's a description of the song by an Australian newspaper that had an interview with Bono:
The other new song is Windows in the Skies. With Soaring strings and a haunting piano melody, this tune is remarkably different to the stadium rock sound of their smash hit album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. It’s huge but in a very different way for a very different reason; Bono is learning to play piano.
“I’ve been taking piano lessons with my kids and every time I took a piano lesson, I wrote a song. I had eight piano lessons and eight songs. They (the rest of U2) were all like, ‘He’ll never have any songs this time’, and I bring in eight. Whoa! Of course, they have much improved it.
“I think that is going to be our biggest song in a long time. It’s a psychedelic pop song with 6/8 timing. You never hear that, it’s very, very rare,” he says.
“It’s a song that every generation has to sing, it’s the eternal song. It’s about what’s possible and still everything is possible.”.
The song is one of the two new U2 songs on 'U218 Singles', the compilation album due for release on November 20. 'Window in the Skies' will also be released as a CD single.
