When I Look At The World Appreciation Thread

[namkcuR]

My favorite track off ATYCLB right now. Great lyrics...I particurly love the lines

'when your thoughts are too expensive/to ever want to keep'

'when there's all kinds of chaos/and everyone's walking lame'

'I'm in the waiting room/can't see for the smoke/I think of you and your holy book/while the rest of us choke'

'tell me tell me/what do you see/tell me tell me/what's wrong with me'

And the wah-wah-wah's driving the instrumentation are positively addictive.

wah-wah-wah
wah-wah-wah
wah-wah-wah
wah-wah-wah
wah-wah-wah--wah-wah-wah

And let us not forget the other-wordly guitar solo towards the end...

great tune..criminally underrated, although the band is partly to blame for this by not giving it much attention...

 

[Joshua87]

I absolutely love this song, second fav of ATYCLB Totally overlooked by this forum, although I think most people like it; they are just too afraid to admit it

 

[Axver]

Third-best on ATYCLB. An overlooked masterpiece.

I was out on vacation in India and thought I'd take a break from the blue crack. Today I couldn't resist the temptation and logged back in.


Oh... and I agree that 'When I Look' is one of the gems on an otherwise ordinary album.

 

[xtihn]

definitely underrated...it is my second favorite track on the album. i wish they would play this live one day.

 

[Diane L]

I love this song. Definitely one of the best on the album.

 

[thrillme]

One of the songs I would've loved to hear live.

Just listen to the instrumentation right before the lyrics, "I can't wait any longer," Edge's guitar, Adam's sliding bass line(think it's a slide), Wow.

ATYCLB's songs really took off for me, when I heard them live.

 

[impy13]

It's pretty much my favorite on that record, no contest.

[MacPhistoPT]

Well, first I have to say that I actually prefer Kite, Walk On and New York in ATYCLB. This is my 4th

After this, I can say that I also love this song, it has great Edge sounds and cool lyrics. It's 100000000000000 times better than Stuck in a moment and it could have been a much better and less embarassing single.

[Tennis05]

great mood for atyclb. great place for u2 to go. i love how bono does the chorus- "so i try to be like you, try to feel it like you do.... but without you it's no use. i cant see what you see when i look at the world."

 

[tiny dancer]
