ONE love, blood, life
I sometimes think this song was too good for a soundtrack. For a band that often gets flack from the general music listening public for 'not rocking enough', this song would've been gold.
With a world-crushing riff that would make Vertigo's 'monster riff' cower in a corner wishing its mommy was there, dark, cynical lyrics, arguably Bono's most devilish vocal performance ever, and an overall attitude of 'fuck you', HMTMKMKM had it all to be huge in the rock music landscape of the mid-late 90s.
I just think, if it had been put on Zooropa or preferably Pop(it's on every custom Pop playlist I make) and released as a single with heavy u2-style promotion instead of just being put on a soundtrack and released as a single with little fanfare, it would've absolutely been one of U2's hugest singles ever.
What do you think? Was HMTMKMKM too good for a soundtrack?
