A little less Whooing would have done.

I fear this would be another GOYB had it been released as a lead single, therefore perhaps putting non die hards off purchasing the album.
However, given what's happened with this release, it's pretty much academic!

The song is about how it felt when they saw the Ramones. It's about music changing your life/making it make sense. It's amazing.

First thing that came to mind was "Where have I heard this before?" Then I remembered "Angels Too Tied To The Ground."
I like the song but wish that the chorus at 1:15 had a few more twists. The chord progression just seems a bit toooooo happy. Needed a better "lift" to it. The rest of the song is great though.

I know what you're saying. Overall though, I think it does work for the most part, and this should definitely be one of the songs that really takes off live.

The only track on the record I'm not keen totally sold on yet but it's growing on me. It works well as the opener though.

This song was the worse first singel they ever released... Do nothing for me To overproduced...

It works great for the advert though,which was probaly the reasoning for having it as the first single

"I was young, not dumb" is a great line.

I do like the studio version way more than the live version at the Apple event.

I was a little underwhelmed by the Apple performance but I'm sure the song will work better when played at an actual U2 gig.

Are they really releasing this as the first single? Of all the songs to pick, this is the one? Bad move. Mainstream listeners don't know or care about Joey Ramone.

I feel like this song perfectly captures how I felt when I "discovered" U2. "The most beautiful sound I'd ever heard."

This one definitely makes more much sense within the context of the album...

Good opening track for an album, but for a single...I don't see that chorus setting the world on fire.

A great song. It knocks me on my ass. It will OWN as the live opener.

Love the "I get so many things I don't deserve" line.
