| This is my favorite song by U2, ever. It WAS written by U2, it IS about Northern Ireland. British troops openned fire on a civil rights march in Derry, on January 30, 1972. That was the 'Bloody Sunday' this song refers to. But this song took on a new meaning on Remembrance Sunday (The day that remembers the afore mentioned Bloody Sunday), November 8, 1987. On that date, the IRA exploded a bomb at a War Memorial parade in the town of Enniskillen... Thirteen people were killed that day... In January this year, I bought the Rattle & Hum DVD. There is a recording on that DVD of Sunday, Bloody Sunday, which was performed live in Denver, Colorado on the day on the Enniskillen bombing. If you want to know for yourself, what this song is about, do yourself the favor of watching that performance... | |

| Bachakid, you're an idiot. People sing about other countries all the time. maybe if you did some more research on your music you would realize this. | |
