ONE love, blood, life
There are U2 songs that are classics, songs that are fan favourites, songs that inspire heated debates, songs that are hated...and then there are songs that people just don't talk about too much. This is a thread for those songs, the U2 songs that deserve some recognition as great songs. I wouldn't put, say, Miami in here, because Miami is a pretty talked-about song, love it or hate it.
Fire - the whole album October is rather overlooked, but despite the fact that it was a single I don't hear much about this song... I was listening to October last night and this song really jumped out at me. Parts of it actually remind me a lot of the Franz Ferdinand song by the same name... but this song is far superior, the end especially. After "I'm going home..." Edge's solo, and around 2:58 is paticularly beautiful.
Indian Summer Sky - I've always loved this song, it's very unique and as a kid it made me think of someone running through a jungle or something, through the darkness, and then reaching a beautiful clearing with an open sky...I'm weird, I know. I also think the lines "To lose along the way/The spark that set the flame/To flicker and to fade/On this, the longest day" were some of the best on the album. A very unique and awesome song, gives a feeling of movement.
Those are my two for now, feel free to add your own
