War Child
I was curious as to why Bono would write a song about one of Edge's daughters, as opposed to all of them, or his own children. Perhaps now we know why.....
ramblin rose said:From the many recent interviews I was led to believe it ended up being about Edge's eldest daughter (although it didn't seem to be about that in the beginning), and the insecurities involved with growing up and not being totally happy, sure about yourself.
The way I interpreted the title "Original of the Species" was since she is basically the first child born to any U2 member she is the original (first born) of the U2 children (species).
That's my interpretation.
