I can't believe no on has commented on this song. I only heard it by chance because i'm a U2 fan and wanted to listen to Bono's other projects, but this song is gorgeous! It gave me goosebumps the first time i listened to it and i couldn't actually believe it was Bono's voice. The way the two voices work directly over the other singing different lyrics is amazing; it really is such a beautifully crafted song. Bono's range is incredible (probably why i couldn't believe at first that it was his voice). Lyrically, the song has a very spiritual feeling. Im not sure what it is written about although i could guess that it i about a relationship breaking down. Personally, i love the lines
"Begin again - Bono, (Heavy in my heart - Clannad) As the storm breaks through (Believe the light in you - Clannad) So the light shines in you -Bono
Without color, faded and worn - Bono
torn asunder in the storm - Clannad and Bono"
Sorry if that seems confusing, but the way the voices work over the other, almost in competition seems so beautiful to me. I guess this could represent the argument between a couple in a failing relationship, both trying to argue their side.
I don't know what others think, but i had to make a comment on this song, 'cause is gorgeous!
