i think this song is about conflict in any type of loving relationship, perhaps even about, power , control and codependency as it talks about placing blame,,and leaving a bad taste in your mouth etc. I am not surprised he wrote this for his father. I know my son and I have conflict and it usually boils down to my shortcomings as a person and a parent and I feel his inability to forgive me or accept me for who I am,,human and with flaws and not god.
Yes jeanne this would have made a great song for Elvis to sing with his powerful vocals but then he did many along this scale. yes I also know for what reason you sent this song but surely some are thick skinned it wouldnt have made a diff!
Thanks for this share my friend. Bono another great guy...I like his music too.
Hilda one love , one blood ,one life, that's all i asked for . love is a temple, love is higher law , you ask me to enter , but the you make me crawl.
Heyyy guys! If you watch American Idol you might have seen ADAM LAMBERT (such a hottie) anyways, sing this song. If you are like me and think that he sang this song AWESOMLEY, please comment on my page and be my friend(s)! Love yall!
adam sang it really good on idol and kris's song which was apologize was really good too! and they are both in the finals!they are both great go dadm!go kris!
My husband and I married almost seven years ago, but the relationship started fading away after a year or so, I took up with this song and it got me throught it. He is a musician and we talked 2 days ago, he said he was going to perform it in my honor.. He suddenly is a U2 fan.. Lol imagine that... oh well.
I think this song is about Bono's relationship with his father. I've read that Bono's had conflict with his father for a long time. He also sings about it in "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" from "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb".
xMYVxPOPisDEADx is right for those of you who gave him thumbs down.Saw an interview recently with Bono and he said he was amazed how many people use this song as a wedding song. "DON'T THEY READ THE LYRICS", he said. So i would have thought Mr. MYPOPISDEAD was full of it too unless i heard it from the horse's mouth (BONO).
He actually has 2 thumbs up, but it wouldn't take hearing it from the horse's mouth to convince me: If you're able to even superficially comprehend the lyrics, it is obvious that it is not a happy/positive song concerning relationships. Bono is right to say, "don't they read the lyrics," because the song really shouldn't require an explanation of its general meaning.
Unfortunately its not that amazing, as that kind of thing happens all the time.
love is perception: this may hold true when your in love, what if its true?, one love, one life... when your in love of course it makes you believe doesn't it? how bout when you lost the forever one.......does it hold true now?
i hope not. because then this is really gonna hurt.
This song is similar to the Police's "Every Breath You Take" in that people usually mistake it for a love song. Listen to the lyrics, folks, it's not a warm and cuddly love song.
It's about certain kind of love, about how someone says to love us but want me to be different, be that our father, our lover, even the God of our church. Bono bitterly denounces "You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl", and asks for understand that "we're one, but we're not the same". Its power is about how we hate the way people we love treat us, and that we may have to part ways...
Then again, if this song means something entirely different to someone else, it's OK.
The reason this song has become so celebrated is because of its ambiguity. It could be about anything the listener wants it to be, and that's what makes it so appealing. It's like Mad Libs set to music. :)
But, even Bono has said this is not the type of song that you should play at your wedding.
The song actually seems pretty explicit in its meaning, "one love, we get to share it, leaves you if you don't care for it. Did I disappoint you, or leave a bad taste in your mouth, you act like you never had love, now you want me to go without." Its kind of hard to interpret this song ambiguously in any meaningful way. Its really impossible not to see this song about something falling apart rather than coming together.
This such a beuatiful song, until last year when I lost my boyfriend in a car accident it was our song, we would turn it up all the way and dance around the room in each others arms, now I just breakdown and cry every time I here it. Thanks so much for posting it with the lyrics by the way. I never could understand there in the middle for a while.
