It me.
Seriously, though - have we seen credits anywhere yet?

No offense to anyone who likes the outro, but I wanted an ending with more punch (which, IMO at least, suits the song much better).
Anyway, inspired by Womanfish's edits, here's the song sans outro.
Hope someone likes it this way (besides me!)

Eh. I think 13 works as a perfect closer. The opening track and the closing track work as perfect bookends so to speak. When 13 ends I feel like I’m closing a book I just read.
Still can’t get into this one. Reminds me a bit of Cedarwood Road, which I thought was the worst on SOI. I certainly think this is better than Cedar however. Right now, this is my least favorite song on the album, but that’s not saying much — because I love most of it.
With the Intro to cedarwood road,I struggle to see how anyone could hate it!I hated Cedarwood Road quite intently. Then I heard it live.
Thoughts on this song? I really like the confessional lyrics and the groove of the music, feels like Pop era to me. And the coda lifted from Iris is growing on me.
I like both mixes, so I thought I'd make a hybrid of the two. The first two verses and chorus are the St. Peter's String version, then switch to the album version until the coda, which is back to St. Peter's String. If you're interested, you can listen here: http://picosong.com/wFkwM
The lyrics make this song great for me. Its clearly about his heart death experience and him going home to heaven, something he clearly is looking forward to, yet he sometimes struggles being on earth with his purposes and why feels he experiences so many hardships. I think its a wonderful look into Bono's faith and it gives us a great perspective of how he views life and his purpose.
What makes it great is that "the lights in front of me" could be so many different things, and I absolutely think this was on purpose.
They could be...
-police/ambulance sirens
-operating table
-"the light" people claim to see during near death experiences
-heaven
-Ali's eyes
-Iris's eyes
