Hey, I know it's a stretch, just trying to help you out with something that might help put the song in context when you listen.
So sorry for your loss. Good that you can find some comfort in this song.
Sorry for your loss Mrs. Garrison and I'm glad you can find some comfort in this song or any song for that matter.

Well, maybe the California they're singing about is more of an idea..an idealised notion of California that a kid in the North Side of Dublin might create in his mind to escape the dreariness around him..."that's what took me where I need to be."

I see California as there is no end ideal or belief.
I... Just still don't like this song
You're, obviously, from the East Coast....

There is no end to cheese. That's how I know there is no end to love.
the 'santa barbara' part at the beginning is cringe-worthy; imagine trying to convince a friend that u2 was great and only having the first 30 seconds of this song to do it with.
being in the first three, i'm guessing that u2 has high hopes for this song, but it might be at the bottom of the pile for me.
We want to acknowledge the griever’s pain, because we also know it as our own. We offer our hand, our clumsy platitudes, a cup of broth. But at some point we itch to move on to our lives, and leave the mourner to move on to his or hers. Not out of callousness, but out of the knowledge that in the end, grief is a lonely and entirely personal place. What we wish for the grieving is that they learn to pull away from the wild, unruly currents of mourning and rejoin us, knowing that nothing we say can really matter, because we know grief’s dark allure. In grief we sound the depths of our love. In that regard, it’s a private privilege. Society has no place there.
I think the lyrics are terrible. Ugh Bono.
I really hate the first 30 seconds of this song, I like the rest but the beginning is a deal breaker for me.
I think the beginning might be the most beautiful part on the whole album. Cheesy and earnest in the way that only U2 would dare to be.
Sent from my Freightliner, most likely.
I hated this song when it first heard it. Took a few days for it to click, and then I was ashamed that I liked it. Now I think it might be one of my favorites on the album. The idea that grief and joy are so closely intertwined is hardly original, but I love the treatment here. Sonically, the music really backs up the lyrics, and the edge's solo is pretty cool.
In theory I should hate this song. I should find it's horribly cheesy. But I love it, it's uplifting and joyful in all the right U2 ways.

Bono's lyrics are really good on this song, it's an obvious choice as a single. I'm guessing single #3. The miracle as #1, EBW #2, Cali #3, Invisible again/volcano double single #4. Different versions of Invisible might make as a nice b-side on all of the singles. Maybe an acoustic invisible, unedited invisible, unedited acoustic invisible, extended invisible with snippet of unedited invisible, and an acoustic extended invisible.

For me, it's what Crazy Tonight should have been.
It has really wonderful lyrics, tells a story and musically it's great (love the violins)
I think it is complimented further by the fact that it fits well into the over all narrative of the album. It makes it that much more enjoyable to listen to knowing it is one story in an album of stories that speaks of their beginning.
Very cool....very cool indeed.
