This album came out the week my father died(suddenly). Never forget driving back to my hometown when I got the news. For some reason I was cranking this on the way. Every song got imprinted on my mind in a weird way. The lyrics to this and Sometimes you Can't Make It, hit me hard. I totally understood Bono there. It helped get me through that drive though.
@schlabresfan I know what you mean, my father died 2 years later in '06, also suddenly. I immediately U2's song "All I want is you" is what would be played at his funeral. Stay strong, but more importantly, stay sane.
@schlabresfan So Im just another passenger on this earth as are you but i read this and it gave me chills. I am truly in love with the way music can affect a person at any given time. you always remember where you are when you relate it to music. Just a thought i guess.
@tfender64 for some reason music has been my anchor to memories of my life. I can remember scenes from my life back when I was 4 or 5 just from hearing a song from that time. It can really imprint your soul. Music is a spiritual experience.
the song is amazing .u2 is amazing ,the best band in ireland .but the song is not the same on the video ..but i will like to know what song is ,,in the video ...is like drug on 2:45 to 3:00
@piccolavero la magia c'è e c'è sempre stata!anche quando l'ascolto da solo...ma nn so, manca da troppo tempo l'atmosfera e la persona con cui ascoltarla...
My nephew was born, and I cherished the scent of his freedom, this song was then included as the basis for my father's eulogy that my brother wrote. Our dad passed away from a heart condition he was born with, he was our Miracle Drug. Thank you MMS and we miss you Big Guy.
Abs brilliant song, but what has this vid got to do with it? its either way out of sync or a totally random did....but rory gallagher is still the man steve plant
The guys arguing about facts - does it matter? All that matters is God, love and loving one another. Come on, stop arguing; we all live together on this beautiful planet - let's get on. I'm sure you're both great people and can see what I mean :-)
OMGEE I just understood the baby head part....the top of a newly born baby's head, he either means the softness, or the SCENT of a baby's head. All in all I love U2.
Don't critisize others about having their facts straight when you don't have you're facts straight. It's about a child in Africa (I think) that couldn't speak or move but then they developed this drug that allowed him to move his neck. The whole band went to visit the kid and were so moved by him that they made this song. So you need to get your facts straight.
no, its not about a kid in africa, its about christopher nolan, they went to high school with him. bono tells the story before they perform it every now and then. so natojacobs5 was right. are everybodys facts straight so we can enjoy the song now?
Folks, I had no idea about what this song was about, but the first time I've heard it, I've immediately connected the song to my son, who has mental disabilities. This song is amazing!!!!
You are right!!!the song is dedicated to a special child and his mother like your beautifull son!!!
The boy(today is a man)is called Cristopher Nollan from ireland,Bono knew him on school,he stirred barely the neck a little for front,thanks to a drug as the doctors gave to him.Today he is author and poet(ago of that ´´miracle drug`` your body had no movement)Trust me,your son that's a present of God!!!Bye
I have to agree with Shazam and yellowtube. This song makes me think of my Autistic brother every time I hear it. NO matter what happens he still looks back at me happy and cheerful with those beautiful blue eyes of his... What I'd give to spend one day in that mind of his... Thank you again U2, beautiful as ever and always getting down to the soul of it.
the song is about a kid who is mentally disabled. and can't express himself. down syndrome, or a much more severe disability. The words are coming from a mom to her son. its wonderful.
I thougt this song was about the London bombing/terror? It seemed so on one of the concerts on Vertigo tour....Bono talked about the bombing,and said that this song was to all the doctors and nurses out there....maybe I`m wrong?
This song slipped under the radar when I first listened to HTDAAB, but after listening to it on the chicago tour and then re-visited the album, I realised that this song is no filler, and that really the album has no fillers at all. Such an extraordinary album, and this song deserves more praise and attention that it's been given. Such a great song, instrumentally and lyrically. One of their best.
i played this song to my gf, I called her my little "miracle drug"... :) she helped me through sum tuff shit in my life, and she jus always seemed to make things better
