It's almost like a continuation of Sunday Blood Sunday.
The young, optimistic man is shouting for change and revolting against the atrocities of man in Sunday Bloody Sunday. Fast-forward 14 years later, that same man is now older and weathered by experience, now pleading for that same change that he know will never come. It's youthful optimism versus experienced pessimism, to me atleast. That's what makes Please so special to me, especially some of Bono's best lyrics, Larry's best drumming, and Adam's best bass playing. |

There are really only 3 GREAT songs on Pop and "Please" is one of them...the other two (at least in my opinion) are "Gone" and "Wake Up Dead Man". That's not to say the others aren't good.

Please reminds me of "Stairway to Heaven."
It starts off slow, then picks up, then ends slow. Please

"Please" is one of U2's most emotional songs when performed live.
Well, SBS was never a masterpiece for me (I like the song, but it's far from being on my favourite ones), and I think that "Please" surpasses its predecessor by miles. |

One of my favorite songs from POP. Love it!
I also love it when he sang Please on the MTV awards(Europe?).

My favorite song of POP. It's so much better live than on the album, I can't believe they haven't played it more often...it would have worked perfectly for the Vertigo tour.

Fantastic song. And I think I'm probably in the minority here when I say I prefer the album version to the single version and the live version!

Please is such a fantastic song, one of the last songs Bono's written with truly good lyrics.
The live version from Popmart Sarajevo is absolutely spine-tingling.

I am a huge fan of the studio and the live versions...but do prefer the LIVE version...and, yes, that transition from Please to Streets is spine tingling for me, one of my favorites.
