i love this song. I was fortunate to meet adam outside the air canada centre and i told him specifically, "man, that song on the new album, a man and a woman, is a really awesome song." adam replied, "it is quite lovely isn't it!"
then the next day, my first time ever meeting bono.......while behind the railing during a meet and greet as bono was heading down the ramp......something came over me and i started to sing amaaw out loud for bono.
I carefully replaced "little sister" with "little brother".
He stood.....listened...smiled....asked me to sing the chorus .....and proceeded to sign my picture "hey little brother, take the heat from the sun."
it was a full month before i could make out exactly what he wrote. Bono's hand writing is so messy!
It is the picture at the bottom.
prior to all this, i've felt the song was great......especially the bass. After all of the above event, the song is super duper in my books.
I think it could work quite well in the setlist. It's got a nice summer feel to it like Electrical Storm. I admit it was one of the tracks I always skipped but this along with Yahweh became my favourite songs on the album.
I can totally agree with the original post.
Oddly, all of my favorites from HutDab are the ones that everyone hates...AMAAW, OSC, and Yahweh.
