I don't really know how people can find "one step closer" boring and dull, or can not like "Yaweh" or "man and woman". these people need having their ears, hearts and souls checked.
"One step" is subtle, subdued, it really makes you feel the lyric: about a man on the point of dying. that man is, incidentally, Bob Hewson. how can people be so unsensitive?
musically, it lives in the same ambient territory of the UF album, "the first time", passengers. it's a great tune, with great lyrics.
"man and woman" is like the continuation of "arms around the world", "sweetest thing", "little while"; it's a wonderful love song from Bono to Ali. with the wonderful lines "soul needs beauty for a soul mate" and "love, sex, faith and fear and all the things that keep us here".
"Jaweh" is simply amazing, is a prayer from Bono to God, like "wake up dead man" or "peace on earth". incredible song, and when it stops and then explodes again is one of the best ever musical moments from the lads.
guys, please, check your ears.
