  Seven Songs for the Week #46

  Jason Carty

  I have been listening to the 2014 podcast U Talkin' U2 To Me, the encyclopedic and comprehensive guide to all things U2. If you don't know it, it's very very silly, but they do love U2. They mentioned this song on their All That You Can't Leave Behind and it's a great example of how U2 can't leave stuff alone. A perfectly serviceable song, with an off-brand ELO vocal hook in the chorus, that didn't stop the '2 from stripping the track for parts: the chorus guitar gets copy and pasted into Beautiful Day, the guitars in the middle section reappear in City of Blinding Lights. I think this song could've worked as the closing track of ATYCLB, as a Beautiful Day (reprise) type thing.
