So before this thread blows up into a thing.....here is my take on the the whole ghost thing.....
When I heard what the song is about and then listened to the lyrics, I pictured in my mind this:
U2 up on a stage dressed in tuxedos. The room looks like a scene from the Great Gatsby where there is this huge dance floor with giant chandlers. The outfits people are wearing are that of the 1950s(when this would have occurred). I picture the colors of the video similar to that of Great Gatsby(Bright and vibrant). As U2 play, there is a young couple in the center of the room (many other couples are dancing around them ) and it's his parents. They are dancing along to the song that U2 are playing (TCB) but they never look at the band, only each other smiling , laughing and such. Then when the song ends, the man and woman finish dancing, kiss one another and look back at the band and give a VERY subtle smile (as if to say "you made it") and they slowly walk off holding hands.
Perhaps during the chorus, it goes to shots of the band playing an empty room that has long been abandoned(to give the impression that while it is empty now, it was once full of love).
No literal ghosts but rather the ghosts of what was and will never be.
Thoughts???? Should I call up Bono or what?
