The Fly
This is quite possibly U2's best song. When was the last time it was played live, and why has it been so long? Very underrated song.

I think much of A Rush of Blood To The Head has been influenced by The Unforgettable Fire. There's a LOT of impressionism on it - that wide screen cinimatic sound found on UF. Even lyrically, both albums employ a vague beauty, that really sets a feeling, an idea split into several directions, a mood, rather than spelling out a distinct, literal idea, such as JT or moreso even, ATYCLB.U2Kitten said:LOVE that song! It's one of their most beautiful and artistic and incredible! It's one of those songs that you *feel* as well as hear. I love the song, the album, and the video! I wish more fans appreciated this work of art.
I am not at all a Coldplay fan but I think I hear a bit of UF influence in "Clocks" how 'bout you?

i still love it to death. putting promenade right after it on the album was the best touch. i can't think of many U2 songs that lead into each other, on an album at least. (cuz they make so many songs mesh live that you wouldn't think would fit when listening to the album versions.)
