my favorites include in order
Bullet The Blue Sky- I still ove this and still love hearing it in concert ESP in Vert Tour with Bono & Comp adding in the other song snippets, and Edges's more Bluesy gutair solo -WOW!WOW! WOW!
Trip Through Your Wires- sexy, and that sort of ragged, wailing harmonica!
I STill Haven't Found WILF -beautiful
Streets- It's never been an Ultra fav like many fan's love, and I got kind of bored with it on tour, but I enjoyed it again on the Vert tour!
Exit-
so fierce! amazing!
BUT.......
my
Penultimate Favorite on the Album > and is # 5 on my All Time Fav U2 songs/ and R&R songs in general< , even
if some of the lyrics in it are more sad compared to the Uplift of the music is.........
In God's Country.........
I bolted upright when I heard it!
The guitar work riding over the melody, ( & i usally love Bono's singing anyhow)....
.....I was like WA-aa-O-OH!
It was SOOO Expansive soundeing & matching with some of the Lyrics that describe the
Incredible Vastness and wild, strange, rarish beauty of some of the USA's Desert areas-- like the High Desert above Flagstaff - alot being of the Navajo & Hopi Nations.
I've been there in that area twice, and
that song totally captures it for me.
I put it on, and I'm riding in a rented car with my friend (he's driving) and we've turned back onto a paved road after going about 8 miles on an unpaved road occasdionally passed by Navajo folks in THEIR Pick-up trucks (of course) -- it was a diagonal short cut towards Monument Valley.
Then we make a sort of U-turn and go east- slightly north to MV.
But one of the things we see a few miles away is & totally alone rising above flattish ground> I'm not sure it's called a Butte because it sort of slowly tapers to a rounded point<
it's a 1,000 foot high "stone" : it's the dried Lava "plug" core of an Ancient Volcano left after aLL the ground and, then softer rock around it has been blown & rained away.
I had
no idea THIS
existed, whereas I knew some about MV, and had wanted to visit it for (aND THE High Desrt area) for like 15 years or so!
A dream come true and this song takes me right back!!!
and like when Adam's Bass is going alone, and then Edge suddenly jumps back ( and Larry, too) in with that cascading sheen of High Notes...OMG!
