Tomorrow

[Musicarl]

Hi.
Any chance this is true about the song Tomorrow:

The song is actually about the funeral of Bono's maternal grandfather, in April 1974. The "black cars" and Bono's calls to his mother (who died the same day !!) are the major nuances here.

Thanks.

That I believe to be true...

I definately think that "Tommorrow" is about that time in his life bc he lost his grandfather and mother in the same year. Tommorrow also happens to be one of my favorite songs

I thought the black cars were about the IRA? But either way a very sad song.

Tomorrow is one of my top U2 songs - if not the top one. It is so full of emotion and knowing that it is real makes it all the more meaningful. Bono is such a great songwriter in that he can elicit such sadness while still being hopeful, and that's what I love about Tomorrow.
