The song perfectly encapsulates post-2000 U2 in my mind. Its a Yin and a Yang of velvety textures in the verse only to be soiled by utter laziness in other parts of the song.  The video was cool tho.

8. It's a song that is sometimes a 10 for me. At the moment a 6 or 7, because I'm not going to listen to it. Interesting song

7. Cheesy and schmaltzy, yes, but I love the message, guitar, and video.

8.

Some lyrics make me cringe - ("Did everything but murder you and I", the way Bono sings the word "rhap-SO-dise) and some I love.

Loved the first video. If MTV had still been a real music station, it would've received airtime. Instead, people who were already fans saw it and nobody else paid attention. 

One of the last times that a U2 song felt effortless/unforced, IMO.

8. Such an underrated song. And that beat takes skills.

The Edge: “[Eno] would love to see us making albums a bit more like [Zooropa]. Where we go, ‘You know what? We’re not going to second-guess any of this. Let’s just go for it.’”

U2 Fans: We'd all love to see that, Edge.

6 - okay song, but there's others I like more. But I LOVE the video, 10 for it.
