There are two things that are true.
1) this song is better than many here are giving it credit for
2) it's not better than Beautiful Day, that shit's crazy talk
These are facts.

After watching BD from the BBC performence, the songs havnet been this good since Elevation tour. The studio version is silly in compare....
It isn't hard to grasp... I just don't like this particular song to their kids. Love many others on the album though.I don't know why this seems so hard to grasp...

K... but I was specifically referring only to those who think it's about America.Didn't think you were, just responding and trying to say that it's not just the lyrics or the song meaning that turned me off.
Bono sounded crap on the BBC version....
His daughters, Jordan specifically, are highly active politically. It's hardly a stretch to think the election shook them personally, and that is what the second verse addresses.Okay. It's not just about America, but the middle verse with Lincoln and the face of liberty seems to be part of the last-minute injection of political lyrics. Other than that, the song is pretty obviously about his children/daughter(s). But what other interpretation is there for the middle verse lyrics I referred to? Genuinely asking, not rhetorically.
Anyway, it's not a dealbreaker even if it was all about America, but it just left me unimpressed. Maybe it will suddenly start growing on me. Has happened before.
I like the rawness in his voice, it sounded more like the Elevation tour versions.
