i'll never forget the first time i heard it, the song scared the shit out of me. i've never admitted that before! i didn't like it at all. it's grown on me a lot though and i quite like it.
I didn't really like this song a whole lot til I saw it live... live it was fantastic! I love An Cat Dubh now, especially the awesome way it goes into Into the Heart. I think this latest tour has made me appreciate Boy a lot more than the Bomb Boy is one of the best debut albums ever, every song on that album is very good.
Anyway...best seven and a half minutes on 'Boy'...I generally listen to that album late in the year when it's raining and dark all the time and that song basically sums up October-December perfectly.
Love it. I'm not sure where I'd put it in my top U2 songs, but I've always thought very highly of it and was thrilled (and amazed) when they decided to add it to the current tour.
yeah. i hadn't listened to it in quite a while, but this tour definitely made me love the song again. actually, when i saw them in Chicago, it was easily one of the best moments of the show.
