Hear the first few notes and — recognition - Oh yeah, I have this song - I like it and I rarely hear it.

And then Bono sings.....and it reminds me once again of why I love this band so much.

I could not agree more.  We need to overthrow the tyranny of cool.

Good Song! U2 does crank out some tunes away from their standard "format".... "Please" is one that always stands out in my mind....

There are a great many recording artist who are loved by millions who I'd rather not hear, so that's not really a complete explanation.  This is a good tune, though.

I've only watched it twice at home. While I wouldn't say it's brilliant, it definitely has a special appeal to me. Somehow after watching the movie I felt that there were quite a few interesting stories left to tell about the not-so-average residents.

Really like the OST as well. "Falling At Your Feet" is another U2 gem.

I one of the millions who love most of not everything they have ever done. Oh yeah and their 2011 WOrld Tour is sold out 6 months in advance, not bad for "creepy" music!

I am only really hearing this for the first time.  How is this possible for a passionate U2 fan?  What was I doing in 2000 that distracted me?  It's wonderful.

Creepy? Now there's an adjective I never thought I'd hear in reference to U2.

Not the best song but something a little different from one of the top 5 bands ever to put out a record. Can't believe the haters on this forum - what is going on people - and the boys haven't lost it ATYCLB was their 4th peak IMHO - after War, Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby. HTDAAB had many fine tunes on it. Their most recent concert tours have been outstanding.

I gotta agree with PG -- it's just not a solid effort. I was increasingly irritated by it to the point where I needed to check out what band was sucking so badly and found out it was U2.


To not know that this is U2 is puzzling. Probably the most recognizable voice and guitar in music today. As all music will not appeal to everyone, not all artists can please all. Because I like U2's "sound" I like this song albeit not as much as many of their others.

It must be time for one of RP's forced Bono-injections.

The frequency of U2 songs on RP makes me think of the pills they make you take daily at an asylum to keep you numb and complacent.

But sometimes listening to Bono is just like Electro-Shock Therapy.
