| U2 – Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
About the "And it's you when I don't pick up the phone" line. From a late 2003 interview: Bono is still so shaken by the death of his father, he often forgets he died two years ago and tries to contact him. "A couple of times I've gone to call him...I picked up the phone to ring the number and there was a sick feeling, but I know I'll see him again." |

| It's not even a B-side, it hasn't been officially released in any format yet. A shame indeed. | |
| Sophie Zelmani – I'll Remember You Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
For me this is a song about letting go of someone you don't want to let go - knowing that leaving is the right thing to do, but at the same time realising just how much you care for that person and how incredibly hard it is to walk away. And about the sheer pain of the moment - still basking in the nearness of the other one ("I can hear a heart beat, is it yours or is it mine?") while at the same time asking yourself dreaded questions about what will follow ("will he miss me?"). And what makes it almost unbearable: realising that you won't be able to forget anything, all those things that made you shiver: his lips, his hands, his eyes, his whole being will always be on your mind. I remember. |
