Flawless indeed! "Heartland" moves me to tears. Rattle & Hum has been a favorite "road trip" CD of mine for quite some time, and this haunting lullaby has become my favorite song from that album. Calm, yet searching, the music totally and utterly backs up the lyrics. The opening stanza is incredibly moving, specifically the lines "See the sun rise over her skin/Dawn changes everything, everything." In some ways, this has deeper meaning to the way we are constantly changing and each new day brings new revelations. Bono apparently can't help but be amazing.
