Hardly ever played live? CHECK
Not a single? Check
Relatively unknown outside of U2 fandom? CHECK

Yep, this one is a prime candidate to make the 00's Interference Top 10.

yep. got me. as soon as i heard the album i jumped online, found the most obscure song from it and made the decision to like it.

Nick, can you please point out my post count? I'm getting jealous of the other hipsters.

Will you stop fucking stalking the guy? Jeez.

Nice song, but not great. The lyrics are average at best and the tune is no better than, say, "Grace", and considerably less memorable than "Flower Child". It's relative obscurity (i.e., less than 100,000,000 people know it) means it will certainly score at least a 9.5 in Interference.

The Rushdie novel was utter shite. A middle-class Indian-Brit guy writing a rock'n'roll book is about as nuts as a bunch of post-punk Irish rockers scoring a musical about a superhero.

i'm hoping you're making a funny or haven't read the thread yet.

I think people claiming that Interference votes up obscure songs to look cool or whatever will be surprised by the scores on songs such as J.Swallo compared to, say, Streets, WOWY, Bad, AIWIY, and whatnot.

10. If it was on my version of ATYCLB it would be my favorite on the album...

Love the lyrics, the music...

Go lightly down your darkened way!
Go lightly underground.
I'll be down there in a-nother day
I won't rest until you're... found...

I'm surprised he hasn't gone completely to town on mine yet!

Someone on Youtube commented about the end guitar sounding a little like Chili Peppers. I'd never thought about it till it was mentioned, but I guesssss I can see what that person is referring to.

"This one goes to 11." Seriously, 10 is too low a number. It's just a gorgeous song all around.
