Anyone else notice that the tune at parts is identical to "O Come O Come Emmanuel?"

Either way, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the song has a pretty clear religious meaning... water washing over me... a lamb forgiving... I mean come on Bono's not even being as subtle as he usually is ;)

I replied to Marquez about this earlier. There is no doubt that the song is founded around the chord structures and melody of "O Come O Come Emmanuel."

Yes, I noticed that too. I guess you wouldn't notice that unless you are Catholic or Episcopalian, right?

Maybe other denominations sing that song too, but I just know I recognized it immediately as a song from Catholic Mass.
