ONE love, blood, life
I know it's been asked at Interference multiple times to no avail, but does anyone know what Smile is about yet? What 'I don't wanna see you smile' means? Anyone?

tuwie said:in original of the species, bono sings: "there's some things you shouldn't be too good at / like smiling, crying, and celebrity" which kind of confused me too

I've thought about that line also.....my two cents is, well it's clear about not wanting someone getting too good at celebrity and all that entails.....and not to be too good at crying (who wants to see loved ones cry?) But the don't get too good at smiling takes some thought.....I think it's saying not to get too good at smiling to mask other feelings....you know, people smile ot look good, smile to show the world happiness even if you are not completely happy? By saying don't get too good at smiling....don't smile to mask other feelings, just be real....show the world who your eally are...that is what I think the message is there. Song written for Jojo. Makes sense to me.....
