Like a Song..., All I Want Is You and Staring at the Sun.
Like a Song is one U2's heavier songs, and I love the drumming in it, in fact War is probably (out of the ones I have) Larry's best album. His solo at the end is great, and Bono's voice sounds so refined and it flows very well.
All I Want is You is just a beautiful song with nice, easy lyrics. Definitel the most romantic song, I just love this, especially Edge's guitar that kicks in after the chorus. It's a pity that there is about 2 minutes of really unneccesary noise at the end.
Staring at the Sun is a calm song with some really great lyrics. There have been so many interpretations on these forums I don't know who to be belive but my take on it is this -
To be the ones, staring at the sun
There is a group of people all doing the same thing (staring at the sun) just blindly doing what the others do.
Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside
Those people are afraid of what they would find if they took a look inside themselves and tried to figure out what they wanted to do. Afraid of what their own needs and hopes are.
I'm not just deaf and done, staring at the sun
This is a take from someone who isn't just deaf to the voices inside their head, they aren't just going to follow others and 'stare at the sun'. They listen to their own heart.
I'm not the only one, who'd rather go blind
This person isn't the only preson who would rather go blind then follow others. He would rather listen to his own heart and be blind then be able see, but follow others.
What do you guys make of that? I'm not saying that's the right interpretation, but I quite like it. The rest of the lyrics are lost on me though.
Sorry to drag on. If there are any songs that have grown on you lately, then have a say.

All I want is You has always been one of my favorites.
