Bono with his father, Bob Hewson who passed away in 2001Bono wrote this song as a tribute to his father. From what I have read about Bono's life from his biography, his dad was pretty much a hard ass. Bono's mother died when he was only 14 which left his father to care for him and his brother. One gift his father did give him was his voice. Bob was an amateur opera singer. And if you ever hear Bono singing Miss Sarajevo and performing Pavarotti's part, you will see clearly he inherited his voice.
I really like the video for this song. Bono seems transparent. And another cool fact, some of the video was recorded in the house where Bono grew up.
