Well its all personal preference, right?
We can both agree on what the song is more or less saying and trying to get across but still have different opinions of it. So I understand where you're coming from.
I personally can't stand WOWY anymore because its borders on manipulative/sappy...not to mention that it reminds me of the video where Bono stands there in his leather vest, with tight pony tail,
wearing guitar and swaying back and forth like he's drunk or high...needless to say I hate that video.
