This is my favorite U2 song and I've been a fan for quite some time. I'm an old lady. I know a lot of fans my age dropped off around the time of the Joshua Tree, but I stuck around for this album. I did know it was about Judas and Christ, but I love that it can be interpreted as someone talking about a messed up relationship. I love the guitar solo as well - the way it's mixed always makes me feel like I'm floating underwater, which goes with all the things drowning and flowing in the last verse. I think it's their most well-crafted song and it will always be my favorite.
