This song was the first single released from No Line on the Horizon. Oddly enough the song really sounds nothing like the rest of the album. The song has grown on me though, although it does not rank among my top faves.
I remember hearing this song for the first time on the David Letterman show. U2 performed during the entire week that No Line on the Horizon was released. The first time I heard it I didn't really like it - it's very different from anything else that U2 has ever done. But the song grew on me and it's one of my favorites from NLOTH.
If you have seen U2 in Blackberry commercials then you have already heard part of this song.
One of the videos for this song is animated and tells a story throughout the whole video. It's interesting and different. If you wanna take a look click here. You will see a screen shot from the video I am talking about ;)
I'm a mother, and a lover of all things Irish. I'm fanatical about the band U2.
In my "spare" time I enjoy writing, designing in Photoshop, gaming, stamping, participating on parenting message boards, and listening to audiobooks.
