I am a long time U2 fan, and when I first heard this album, I had mixed feeling. I am not one of those delusional fans who is expecting another Achtung Baby (although that was my favorite I have to admit..) I kind of expected them to go in a new direction since we had already heard some newer stuff (Invisible, Ordinary Love). Although this album seems more interesting and more inspired than the last one, it is still kind of lacking something.
This song bored me at first, but my brother told me he liked it right away since it was on his phone (along with over a billion people's phones hah)... I found it strange since he only listens to EDM and techno.But anyway, I need more time to listen to this one. Maybe it will grow on me. Reading the lyrics over, it sounds very beautiful and poetic.
Obviously, illusion and deception (self deception) is a big theme in this one. I believe it is called Iris because Iris is the part of the eyes and through everyone's eyes, they see things through their own unique perspective (for better or worse). I would love to hear thoughts from others... xx
