One. The whole falsetto at the end makes song universal in its interpretation. It adds an ambiguity that we love in U2 songs of, dare I say "that era", thus making a perfect close.

I know that many of my family members cannot stand Bono's falsetto - but I personally love it. I'd say some of my favorite tunes that feature that angelic cry are:
"Ultraviolet" "So Cruel" "In a Little While" and of course, "The Fly" -[z]- |

Electrical Storm, and in the live versions of Mysterious Ways, especially during the ZooTV Concerts, he does a falsetto at the end, a very good one.
I LOVE Bono's falsettos! |

Also, Heartland and Love rescue me have some beautiful falsetto right at the end.
Zoocifer: now you confused me. To me, that particular falsetto always sounded un-Bono, if you know what i mean. Kind of different voice a bit, that's why i think it's Edge singing. |

Edge's falsetto sounds nothing like the studio take of "The Fly." Take pop_mofo's advice and listen to it and a live version in succession.

I always wondered why he didn't use his falsetto on his cover of "Unchained Melody." It would have been so perfect. I mean, I *love* his angsty, deprieved "I need your love" and it is certainly unique from the original but oh...it would have just been so cool with his falsetto!

Well I think Bono's falsetto could be the best U2 instrument (courtsey: AcrobatMan)
