I think that in the first line it would be "clime" not "climb". Great song. Among my favourites on Pala. |

| U2 – Miss Sarajevo Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Pavarotti's solo adds such a wrenching emotion to this song; perhaps that was the aim of keeping the rest of the song "boring" (referring to the description given in a previous post) - so that it could highlight the contrast given to the feeling of the song when Pavarotti sings. I happen to really like the almost monotonous flow of the rest of the song; the gentle melody is nice, and I think it helps to reflect one of the subjects of the song's protest: that the countries of the Western world distracted themselves with things like consumerism (at some points in the song, the music behind Bono resembles that which could be heard in a department store), or else just drifted along while Eastern Europe burned. I've seen the doc Miss Sarajevo; it is a great film. Go out and watch it if you're able to. |
