[An Cat Gav]

9. This is my favourite of all TJT B-sides.

 

[gman]

Another 9 for a fantastic tune. Would never work as a A-side but unbelievably fantastic B-side

 

[digitize]

Solid 8... I'd say closer to 8.5, but I couldn't quite bring myself to give it a 9. Great song, though.

 

[Axver]

Motherfuckin' 10. One of the three or four best songs from the JT sessions, never deserved to miss the album.

 

[financeguy]

Around a six or seven. Not one of the better mid 80's B-sides. I'll be nice and give it a 7.

 

[powerhour24]

this is one of my favorite unheralded U2 tracks.

 

[Axver]

Can't fathom how people can prefer the twinkly plodding bollocks of Walk To The Water over a song as powerful and beautiful as this. Well, each to their own ...

 

[blueeyedgirl]

10. Cos I like it, not cos Axver says so.

 

[cobl04]

an eight, not as good as walk to the water i.m.o. beg

 

[intedomine]

9. Possibly U2's best b-side.

 

[Zoots]

8. Great but not as good as Walk To The Water, LCT or Deep In The Heart.

 

[Alisaura]

8 - Very solid song. That line about "holds me in a tiny fist" gets me every time, and I am not the maternal sort.

 

[gvox]

Very good song. Probably their best b-side from that era, imo.

 

[Bono's shades]

Can't fathom how people can prefer the twinkly plodding bollocks of Walk To The Water over a song as powerful and beautiful as this. Well, each to their own ...

And some of us crazy folks actually love both songs.
