      Yes indeed Webby. The whole album is one huge chunk of U2`s very best songwriting. I like almost ever track on the album, and there is really no " filler " songs. I like this song in every single way musically. Melody, lyrics, guitar, huge badass bass playing and fine drumming. Larry Mullin Jr. is a fine drummer who gets no recognition really. One of the best songs ever done by U2.

      @newwavepop 4 месяца назад +4

      i think his voice was at its absolute peak at this time period. but also i think when he was recording this album he was singing with absolute genuine passion, A LOT of bands and artists, i would even argue the vast majority are just trying to get a new album out or to create new material. i think it is actually rare for a group to be truly inspired by their own work at the time, at this particular time i think U2 were genuinely in love with America and really seeing it for the first time after growing up across the globe and hearing about it their whole lives. i believe the absolute exuberance in this song is real and that is rare and hard to record and it brought something more out in the bands performance. today they are like any other working band out there, they are just trying to write new content and get it out. but there is probably no real passion for it it is just work.

    I was walking across Colorado winter of '98, diamond dust blowing in the sun, and this song was in my headphones. Earlier that decade, walking across El Paso in the summer sunshine, same feeling, same set, a setting sun, golden twilight splashing around like amber whiskey from the sky, spilling over the mountains, flowing like a river of honey colored light down, down, into the abyss of dusk, and the starling dark blues and blacks of a desert night, slowly reclaiming the light until the sun rose the next morning. Keep going. It's worth it.

    Desert sky

    The rivers run but soon run dry
    We need new dreams tonight
    Desert rose
    Dreamed I saw a desert rose
    Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
    Like a siren she calls to me
    Sleep comes like a drug
    In God's country
    Sad eyes, crooked crosses
    In God's country
    Set me alight
    We'll punch a hole right through the night
    Everyday the dreamers die
    See what's on the other side
    She is liberty
    And she comes to rescue me
    Hope, faith, her vanity
    The greatest gift is gold
    Sleep comes like a drug
    In God's country
    Sad eyes, crooked crosses
    In God's country
    Naked flame
    She stands with a naked flame
    I stand with the sons of Cain
    Burned by the fire of love
    Burned by the fire of love

      I have a favor to ask. Post nuclear war, Christianity is going to learn it was controlled largely by the Soviet Union. Learning this and being post nuclear war, much of Christianity will feel suicidal. But, intelligence agencies want Christianity to know that guilt trips are not needed, if Christianity wasn't used by the USSR, somethings else even more powerful would have been targeted by the Soviet Union. It's the actual point of the song, "Losing My Religion" by REM, where, oh no, Micheal Stipe said too much, and didn't say enough (to Christianity). Post nuclear war, could you, first, stay alive, and go mass media with Michael Stipe's message? Maybe if you proof this request is before nuclear war in origination by me, they'd believe you, and won't lose to Soviet induced guilt trips, and feel less oppressed and depressed therefore! Please?

    I've been a fan of the band for 40 years, and all melodies touch my soul, this one in particular talks about our faith and the history of humanity. great to reflect.

      My first time hearing this beautiful song 🎵🎵🎵It was featured in the movie "THREE KINGS" ( George Clooney, Ice Cube) .I own the movie and have just watched it again tonight. This song closes out the movie. Loved it . Powerful.

      I saw a video of U2 performing this song live . I found it on RUclips. Not a concert in the U.S. He actually did an intro that the song was a tribute to the IRISH immigrants that started coming to the U.S. ( I think mid 1800's was the first big wave) He was praising our country, and the reference to the Statue of Liberty 🗽 in this video is very profound. What a great song 🔥❣️

    80's U2 get me sentimental and teary...they where so mature and on point with society in general...all those motley crueish and heavy metal bands where childish macho music detached from my reality in my town, pop music was disposal bs most of the time, the underground goth/punk/garage crowd was too cool to be indentified with, new wave was pointless at times and rap music too mean spirited and street wise...to me u2 was like in the middle of it all standing TALL and keeping an eye from the past and into the future...whatever happened to the fallen ones? what will we do and how to move on? How to apreciate life and fight for it?, how to make something positive with our lives? All those questions and critiques while making rock music. Thank you guys.

      The official VIDEO is great too. Nice tribute to Irish immigrants coming over here circa 1850. Beautiful composition to the song as well. Listen to their " official VIDEO" all the time. Bono's long hair , leather jacket, gold hoop earring , made a very sexy front man. Love this jam❣️🎵 Too often over looked and it's my favorite song by them.

      No. Not in a class with Zeppelin, _never_ in a league with Bob Marley (in my opinion of course)
      Thirty years ago I believed The Joshua Tree was the finest album ever recorded. I don't really think so anymore but I can't justify it
      Still this song came blasting through the headphones of my mind a few days ago and _now_ I think it's the best thing they ever recorded. Well...I love that one that BB King sings too...
