Like the song, the lyrics, and the Edge guitar bit in the middle... but I can see why people might not like song.

I don´t want to offend you my friend but this song just goes nowhere, really. Come on mate, I know by 2006, when U2 will release their "new" ( I really hope it will be a NEW one ) you will say without any regret "half of HTDAAB wasn´t that good. Songs like A Man And A Woman, Original Of The Species, One Step Closer, Sometimes, etc are shameful, below average for U2 catalog".
Many ATYCLB lovers can easily admit songs like Grace, In a Little While, Wild Honey or Peace On Earth are extremely low points for U2 standards. This is not a new situation, really. I was one of the few I was dare to express my dissapointment of that album by late 2000 and early 2001, most of fans said me "Are you nuts ?", "get a life", and even worse words but I was right, the time spoke itself and more and more fans are discovering ATYCLB wasn´t that great album as was hyped. You can skip half of the album with no problem.
The same thing will happen with this one, times will show I´m right again
I want them to prove themselves again, not a sold out iPod band anymore, comfortably numb !!!!!!

Yikes.....
And stop trying to come off as some sort of U2 prophet ponkine, you are becoming increasingly arrogant as you see less and less people sharing your "views"
Sleep Over Jack said:Are you being serious Roy? ponkine has frequently cited Sometimes as a weak song, and fine thats his opinion, but he seems to be repeating the same criticisms over and over, and resorting to insults against anyone who likes 2000- now U2 albums.
