The song feels like a quick improvisation on the studio's stairs. Typical song for Bono to get some heavy clapping live, as I fear we won't have the chance to hear this full-band. Edge has some emotional backing vocals here, I just wish his solo was longer and deeper. His guitar is nowhere to be found in the album, sadly.
The outro of this track is absolutely brilliant....it ends a little too abruptly but in a way I think it's effective in keeping the listener wanting more...what a melody. This better be a single.
Good song about fucking Ali for the first time. Must have been awkward to go in that direction but Bono points that out on the U2.com letter he did. It's heartfelt and risky to open up that much. It's up there with An Cat Dubh.
