A 9!
That song is just like a movie! And those chords in the ZooTV version -- just great! Appreciate the guitar line built up to the chorus very much (in the studio version).
Didn't give it a 10 because Bono's voice could be a bit annoying and that 'Far away, so close'-verse doesn't make sense
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio.
With satellite television
You can go anywhere:
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin.
To me it makes sense...I interpret this as when you can't sleep...going faraway in your mind, even though you are so close to reality, but if you let yourself zone into the television or music or whatever, you can escape that reality for awhile. To me it's a song about escaping the horrible reality that life can sometimes be.
