I love this song. It's very melodic and pretty and hits hard at the same time. I have it, too!
One time, it was raining out, so I told my friends I would perform in the rain for them. I sang "Like A Song" and danced with my umbrella.
They locked me out of the house.

I love this track.
I love the drums.
I love the guitar.
I love the vocals.
I hate that it was hardly played live.

I know the song as a whole is a little incoherent and overdone, but I love it. At the end when Bono sings
We're a generation without name, ripped and torn
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing at all...
A new heart is what I need -- O God, make it bleed.
I just can't even put into words how completely that expressed what I felt about being part of the generation that was coming of age in that era (I'm just a tad younger than Bono.) It knocked me over. THIS IS OUR VOICE, I said. It seems naive now, but when I was just out of college in the 80s... *chokes with emotion*.

Great song! And you're right, it doesn't get nearly enough credit!

All those 'One time....' stories...... 
Like A Song.... is my favourite track of War. It is amazing to listen to it. Though the songs makes me also sad. Bono or Edge or whoever came up withthe lyrics for Like A Song... were so right----they wrote about the truth in a way it almost hurts....
