Wow.... this is one of the most bizarre songs U2's ever written, right up there with "Hold Me Thrill Me" and "Numb," but obviously not for the same reason. It's bizzare, it sounds like a cover of a 70s pop ballad that you'd hear as a b-side or something. The closest they've probably ever done to that is probably the album Rattle and Hum or the song "Red Hill Mining Town" from Joshua Tree. Regardless of the wierdness, its a great song, and I actually wouldnt mind an album of that kind of sound (note the singular, I wouldnt want them going that direction for too long, or they'd probably lose the sound I love them for). Can't wait to hear the new album!
