It's certainly a surprise to me. Gee, and all this time I thought Bad, The Fly, or Beautiful Day was my favorite song. Go figure.
Anyway, humor aside, just watching the Chicago DVD last night, I realized something I already knew, Running to Stand Still is a gorgeous song. Every version. Album, Lovetown, Zoo T.V., Vertigo. All fabulous. But I also realized this is my favorite song. It really is. Yeah. It's just such an epic and sad story, and the musical performance is absolutely perfect. And you gotta ADORE Bono's Halelujahs from Zoo T.V.
Anyway, just do yourself a favor and read the lyrics again. They are really breathtaking.
And so she woke up, woke up from where she was, lying still.
Said 'I gotta do something about where we're going.'
Step on a steamtrain. Step out of the driving rain, maybe. Run from the darkness in the night.
Singing ah, ah la la la de day. Ah la la la de day.
Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth.
I see Seven Towers, but I only see one way out.
You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speeking, Scream without raising your voice.
You know I took the poison from the poison stream, then I floated out of here.
Singing ah, ah la la la de day. Ah la la la de day, ah la la de day.
She runs through the streets, eyes painted red, under a black belly of cloud in the rain.
In through a doorway, she brings me white gold and pearls stolen form the see.
She is ragin'. She is ragin.
And a strom blows up in her eyes.
She will suffer the needle chill.
She running to stand still.
