Walk to the Water appreciation thread!

[SkeeK]

Well, I haven't seen one of these in at least a month, so here goes!

Walk To The Water is an amazing, incredibly, touching, deep, poetic, beautiful, haunting, sincere song.

I love love love looooove it!

 

[Bloodied]

YES!

Walk to the Water is a great tune. However, I still think Luminous Times is better. In fact, Luminous Times may just be the bands best b-side!

Regardless, walk to the water is great.

Peace on Earth.

 

[SkeeK]

Luminous Times is a great tune, but I prefer WttW.. the WOWY single certainly is a keeper!

 

[christiana]

I think they said it all...

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

I must get the WOWY single--and yes, I love Walk to the Water!! Infact, this reminds me, I've not listened to it in a while...

 

[diamondbruno9]

AGREED Both are superb.
Have you ever thought that WTTW sounds like Robbie Robertsons-"Somewhere down the Crazy River"? Who Bono sang back up vocals during that era on Robbies album.
And Hold On To Love(L.T.) sounds like Springsteens- " She's The One?"
Curious,anyone-

"Walk to the Water" is great, but I absolutely adore "Luminous Times"...I can't even describe the feelings I get when I listen to that song.

Skeek,

You forgot one adjective, inspiring, it?s an inspiring song. But I bet you already knew abou that, don?t you?
Walk to the Water is one of my all times faves, priceless. See? I found another one, LOL

 

[JasonD]

Have always loved it. Let's see--third leg?....Hmm......Nah!

 

[hcmiller]

Agreed

 

[partygirl]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

 

[Mirrorball Man]

WttW is a great, great song. Everything about it is spot on for me. I also think Deep in the Heart is great but I'm not clear on what it's about.

at one point in my life I even felt it was U2's best song ever

WTTW is best b-side hands down (well, tied with Lady With Spinning Head). I've always felt WTTW could've fit on any of U2's albums, including UF (though that would've been hard).

 

[salomeU2000]

it is personally my favorite of all u2 songs.

[blood red edge]

sorry, but would somebody explain this song to me?

The Joshua era produced some of the best B SIDES ever.

Walk to the Water is my favorite U2 b-side, in fact the song is in my top10 alltime u2 songs. I like Luminous Times as well, enough to make WOWY the best single ever by my book ('One' being 2nd, w/Sat. of Love, Lady w/the Spinning Head, and Night and Day as b-sides).

Love Walk to the Water--the way he says "You were blown by the wind, you were blown by the wind..."

But like some others here, I probably love Luminous Times even more--the depth of emotion in that song is unreal.

The city walls are all pulled down
The dust a smokescreen all around

WTTW is one of my favorite U2 songs.
