[LemonMelon]

9. One of the damn prettiest songs of U2's career. Bring it back live

 

[theFly51]

Love both live and album versions

9

 

[digitize]

I'm torn. It's really just a glorified short poem over a piano line, but it's pretty beautiful for how long it lasts.

Ahh, what the hell. I'll throw it a very generous 8.

 

[cobl04]

i gave it an 8, love it, great live, even better when i thought it was a wonderfully metaphoric poem rather than a song about autumn

 

[Scorpionac]

It's really just a glorified short poem over a piano line

I love glorified short poems over piano lines! An 8 from me as well. U2 - more of these, please.

 

[intedomine]

Immensely pretty and lovely, but overrated.

5

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

it's a good song though awfully simplistic. but it's better than scarlet.

 

[coolian2]

10.

 

[bono_212]

I fought between 8 and 9 for a while, finally decided to go with 8.

 

[trinx]

Simply beautiful. 9.

 

[Axver]

Pretty but nothing special, and one of the weaker songs on the album. 6.

 

[God Part III]

Pretty but nothing special, and one of the weaker songs on the album. 6.

Ditto.

 

[The_acrobat]

9. Almost perfect, but I really think had they had more time to work on the album, they could have made this song something really special.

 

[nielsgov]

It's just a great song. 10.
