I love the older stuff U2 put out. Ever since Joshua Tree their sound changed. I understand bands evolve but the older material still sounds better, to me anyway. YMMV.
i just love this song to death. its so complex textural and eerie. i remember well when i heard this on my sisters tapes. i imitated every word of bono's. '84 +15 yrs old. timeless.
When this album was new I remember playing it on my Sony Walkman (cassette player!). This song was great to hear right before drifting off to sleep. Like entering another realm...
I agree...this and Joshua Tree are 2 of the best albums ever done!!! this song is also too short...meaning that its "so good" it should be much longer!! ive always felt that way too...i want it to go on so much longer than the short 2:32 that it is!!! Probably my favorite U2 song, but theres so many great U2 songs, its hard to have #1, #2 etc.
this song is totally timeless and pure, if it was released tomorrow, it would be a new u2 song,the sign of genius,considering it was recorded in 83/84, that is pretty far out...plus larry is using brushes ala pete de freitas..the only other instance of larry playin brushes is drowning man, another timeless song...larry!..get them brushes out of the attic..RIP PETE DE FREITAS...the second most innovative drummer of his time..and then came Ren, listen to killing moon, then going down ,stone roses
"EVERTONIC" - "if it was released tomorrow, it would be a new u2 song" - No it wouldn't: it doesn't have the trendy hip 21st century bling bling SHITE that U2 are pursuing these days. In other words: "HALLO HALLOOOOO!!!! OLLAAAA!!! I'M AT A PLAYCE CALLWED VERTIGO!!! WOOO HOOOO!!!!! GET ON YA BOOOOTS YAAAA!!!!!!!! YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!!!" - this is what a new U2 song sounds like.
Sadly the inventive artistic creative inspired U2 departed this world a loooooong time ago.
i liked u2 from boy (and before) to joshua tree. Boy, October, War, Un4gettable Fire, Joshua Tree were like the greatest albums any band could release. Rattle & Hum was also good but it had too many live versions of previous songs for me 2 consider it as a proper album. Achtung Baby - No Line On The Horizon sound like they have been made by a different band although i still like some songs - So Cruel, Stay (Faraway, SO Close) but the rest have been quite bad.
i remember when i discovered this album all those years ago ...i just listened to it over and over ---it was like my best friend..

One of my favourite U2 songs. So understated and Edge's guitar is like sparkling stars.

Love Bono's vocal on this.This song still sounds as new to me as the day it came out (1984). One minus, it's too short!
