31 "The time is coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them," declares the LORD. 33 "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34 No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."
Amen, brother! |

The beginnings of U2 revolved around their love of God and their songs reflected this with such intensity and power. Pure and simple. After the Joshua Tree (well, really the Unforgettable Fire), they became so large and powerful that they actually became larger than themselves and perhaps Gods themselves. From that point to the present, they have lost that pure honesty and humbleness. Too bad. |

Oh, Bill. And you were doing so well; no U2 all day. Now, well you've lost me for a few hours as I try to let my nausea subside. Lousy lyrics, lousy and arrogant band. I just don't understand.

I agree. To me, after War, their passion and angst were replaced with (over) production. |

The U2 guitar riffs did not evolve much more than this example.

Agreed! Too bad the song got a sorry, it deserves some airtime here.

Is this a videly held opinion in the UK? I love this song btw. |

Saw this song live back in the 80's and it was real good, like real, real good. The slow part in the middle and the back to the jam is made for live performances- crowd goes crazy. Still sounds great on the air, but please mark the original album songs are from and not the Best Of...??
