One time, several years ago when i was in the army, i was dropped in very remote location for several days as a sort of "survival test" to see if i could live with or without food, water, shelter.
I was walking through the woods, alone, when i came to a large clearing with a spectacular view. I looked out over the valley when suddenly i heard the opening lines to "Streets", which totally blew me away. I sat down for a bit to rest when it dawned on me to try and figure out where the sound was coming from, since i was supposedly out there alone.
So i wandered through the valley and back up to the top of the next big hill, to the soundtrack of Joshua Tree blaring all around me. The music never got any louder, nor quieter, as i walked on for miles and miles. Still unable to find what i was looking for, I decided to kneel on my knees, boy i was tired.
I gazed off into the crimson sky, wondering what time it was in the world, as the opening riff of Zoo Station cranked out across the land. After a few minutes rest and a bite to eat from a can, i took off again in my quest to find the sound. This time i moved in mysterious ways.
That is when it occoured to me, while i may have been alone, i wasn't really alone. For i had the soundtrack of God in heaven to light my way. Baby baby baby.
