Ha, it's too bad drummers get so much heat for being immature. I've been in lots of bands and the drummers have always been without exception the most level-headed, must fun to hang out with and dare I say SMARTEST of the bunch. Guitar players have universally been the immature jerkoffs, with a few exceptions.

Actually - its quite nice to hear someone say flatly they can't stand something...its allowed also |

I don't know why, but this phrase "staring at the sun" comes up a lot in song.

EXCELLENT reference.
And Angloray says: one of U2's worst. Ugh. Not a nice tune from some normally impressive tunemakers. |

sounds like they recycled the riff from "one" on this or maybe it's the other way around, really don't know. I would like U2 more if they didn't seem to have this self-important attitude

Not U2's best song, but I'm surprised at how well this one's held up in the nearly ten years (?!) since its release. I really like the acoustic version of this they played live on the Popmart tour.
What I'd really like to hear is a lil' "Discotheque!"
