I think this is one of the band's most underrated songs. So many people seem to hate it. It was my favorite song when I first bought AB, and still fights for that spot from time to time.
The violin in one speaker/guitar in the other is such a great production choice.
I always felt that the Temple Bar single mix watered this song down and made it TOO accessible. It's not supposed to be a sing along. To me it's one of the saddest songs on the album, and Bono's lyric is both poetic and conversational at the same time.
One of the most emotional vocal deliveries on the album as well.
But the odds of them playing songs now that they could never get right on their own proper tour (Do You Feel Loved, Red Hill Mining Town, Acrobat, So Cruel, If God Will Send His Angels, When I Look At The World) are pretty slim.
