What do you love about Scarlet ?

She was great in the Avengers...

I love that they were so young when they recorded this. You got to be mature to be so laid back.
Sure, I suspect the song came up because they were in a hurry and short of ideas, but still... it's a bold song. Minimalism done right. And beautifully.
A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

It follows the spiritual themes of October: singing into the hurricane. Hearing it on the 360 Tour was incredible.

They played this at the 360 concert I was at, but that was before I got really into the band so I didn't know the song and wasn't able to appreciate seeing Scarlet live.  :(

It works in the same way 4th July works. It doesn’t do much or say anything but it’s a perfect accompaniment to the rest of October.

As for 360, U2 massacred anything I wanted to hear so I can’t agree with you, Alphane, but how wonderful you enjoyed it so much.

It packs quite the lyrical punch!  :)

It's also the only track from October that I've heard live.  I like it.

I played this song enough in 1990 that my parents know every note.
