Hmmm...I am wondering about this song..Is there a video for it? And what does the title mean? Why does Bono's voice sound so deep and sexy? I think I am having a Bono craze after seeing all those stills.

I think Bono made up that name. I think part of it's inspired by a hotel he was staying at, but I'm not sure. I dunno, I've never really liked that song.

I dig my toes into the sand. The ocean looks like a 1,000 diamonds strewn across a blue plain. I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless. And in this moment I am happy... happy.

Love,

I love this song. It is one of my favorites from "Rattle and Hum" . I don't think there is a video of it, but there is some rare video footage of them performing a bit of the song in the Sydney Lovetown tour thing that was shown a while back on Direct TV. ( thanks elizabeth!!)

There was a rumour that this song came from a town called Hawkmooon in one of the Dakotas that U2 visited. I can't remember the details and I don't think anyone knows for sure if it was true or not...

I would LOVE to hear this song in concert someday..........

I love this song... According to Niall Stokes, it is the 269th mix of the song. I believe Hawkmoon is a town like OG said.

...what's a Bono?
 
I thought they pulled it off of a highway sign on their way to Arizona. The city is Hawkmoon and was 269 miles away from the sign Bono saw.
 
I love it too- and I think Foadie may be slipping into Bonoland! Cross over, all welcome!

NO way Stormy! I've always had a thing for Bono..especially long-haired, cobalt-eyed
Bono of the 80's...but Larry Bear is always my first choice.

It's okay, I know you love Larry! A lot of PLEBAns have flirted and had affairs with one of the guys other than their own, but they always come back to number one. Go ahead and have your lust, and *SIGH* I'll go to bed now, dreaming of long haired, cobalt-eyed 80's Bono. SWOOOON thanks for the happy thought!

I'll turn this into a Rattle & Hum thread now that the meaning of Hawkmoon 269 has been unearthed.

"It never ceases to amaze me. Here, we have a man who claims professes to enjoy flower arranging, has no qualms over donning a skirt at any given time and, now we learn, prefers to use the ladies' restroom. And yet somehow he manages to embody all that is masculine and sexy. I don't know how he does it. " ~Gina, on Adam

Yeah I guess they mixed the song 269 times and the song took on many different forms. They basicaly kept building on it until it sounded so different from what they wanted that they stripped it back to the version you hear on the album.
 
Kristie where are you getting these R&H pics? I have never seen most of them before and I thought I'd seen it all!

Foadie- Rattle and Hum RULES!! Here are some more pics for your thread.
