Always

[StarsnStripes]

always wear a safety belt



It's a song...
it's a public service message...
It's both!


Everyone, WTF is SO wrong with Wild Honey?? It sounds like a standard "old" rock and roll tune. Given the album's short running time, adding Always and Summer Rain could have been done without eliminating other songs.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for someone is to just tell them to fuck off. I am told to fuck off rather a lot by these three gentlemen.

k, let me expand (if possible) on my earlier statement

I like "Summer Rain" and I like "Always" a lot

should they have been on the album though -- IMO not

Always....this song is indeed the sister to BD but its still a great song. My fav line: "crack the bone and get to the marrow"

and what's with the safety belt thing? people, its a metaphor. Restrain yourself from finding yourself in someone else. Or something.....

salome and kobayashi...your quoting of quoting is out of control

Wild honey is a soft U2 song imo

Great song! I like it a lot, along with Summer rain.
Yes, it does have similarities with BD (chorus drums, ending). Personally i prefer the Always chorus to BD's chorus.
I think that it should have ended up on the album, together with Summer rain.

I like them both-BD and Always.

I thought the quiet part was:
"touch me now inside
i wanted to be in love (maybe it's i wanted to feel love)
i wanted to call
so much" (not sure about this one)

Am i the only one who thinks they should add another verse to Always instead of the longer ending?
