Song of the day 09-09-05: Grace

[Cassis]

Grace

Grace, she takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name
Grace, it's the name for a girl
It's also a thought that could change the world
And when she walks on the street you can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything

Grace, she's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She's got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma, karma
She travels outside of karma
When she goes to work you can hear the strings
Grace finds beauty in everything

Grace, she carries a world on her hips
No champagne flue for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition
What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark no longer stings
Because Grace makes beauty out of ugly things
Grace finds beauty in everything
Grace finds goodness in everything

I have struggled to ever find an opinion on this song. Could be a great poem though

 

[U2Man]

Great song. Way too underrated in here.

Tom!

This song is not hideous!
It's a great track from ATYCLB.

Although I do think that it has one bad line in it that ruins it a bit for me:
Grace, it's the name for a girl
It's also a thought that could change the world

This makes it a bit too explicit for my liking. I'd have preferred it if Bono kept it ambiguous (is it about the girl or the thought?). In my mind, I sometimes prefer to hear
Grace, it's the name for a girl
She's the thought that could change the (/my) world

In any case, it's not the yawn-fest some wussies kid themselves it is.

That's exactly how I've always felt about it
