War Child
WE all know, of course, that All I Want is YOu is a great great U2 song. Different from anything else on R & H and different from any song for that matter. Its the ultimate "commitment" song. A true love song.
But I think that the film Reality Bites boosted this song into greatness in the eyes of the general public, specifically America. A film seen by many of the "youths" and a song that was either reintroduced or just plain introduced in general to a mass. And with that exposure, more so than R & H gave the song, AIWIY was catapulted into classic stature. I don't know if any one else agrees with me on this but we must give kudos to the film for this. I'm not saying the song cannot stand on its own, but that classic label was formed, I think, by the film's popularity.
