War Child
I've been listening to this track alot lately, it could well be U2's most chilling song, and it was the perfect way to end their shows on the Zoo tour, capturing the confusion and uncertainty the band felt during the early nineties, even though it was written during the Rattle and Hum sessions. It's full of eerie lyrics:
'in a parked car, in a crowded street, you see your love made complete'
'the thread is ripping, the knot is slipping'
'Love is clockwork, cold steel, fingers too numb to feel'
And I think we can all relate to that part in the chorus 'Love is Blindness, I don't want to see' , that sometimes its better not to know,
Plus 'a dangerous idea that almost makes sense' conjures up all sorts of feelings, not forgetting Edges haunting solo of course.
I always preferred the live versions to the studio and wished they still performed it occassionally, I suppose it didn't really fit with the themes of Elevation and Vertigo.If you can get your hands on the Rotterdam 15/6/92 rendition, I'd defintely recommend it, it's a soundboard recording so Bono sounds as if he's singing in your ear.
