This song is amazing and many others would agree. It's haunting chorus and poetic lyrics definitely provide more than common melodies. In fact, after multiple listens you begin to appreciate the sheer passion imbedded intothis song, and thatrecognition alone sends shivers down anyone's back. Although its never been played live, due to claims from Bono stating that his vocal range wouldn't allow him to reach as high as the song intends, it's a near forgotten epic that is calling for a revival. The music video is very simplistic yet provides a lot of symbolism that'll keep you interested. I really have nothing negative to say, and that is the end of my review.
