| I just heard this song. I think it's a quasi-tribute to the famous Irish novel "Ulysses". The plot of "Ulysses" takes place all in one day hence the "Day" part of the song's title. The main character's name is Mr. Bloom and this song opens with "The heart is a bloom" - maybe that's a clue. The lyrics "You're on the road/But you've got no destination/You're in the mud/In the maze of her imagination" fit with the story in "Ulysses", too. Bloom spends most of the day wandering around the city of Dublin and events just kind of unfold. Also, the end line of the above verse could relate to the end chapter of the novel when Bloom's wife is in bed and her thoughts are represented as a continuous, unpunctuated ramble. It fits with the phrase "In the maze of her imagination" because the chapter deals with the wife's thoughts of her and her husband, and it's hard to understand what's going on when you read it; just like a confusing maze. By the way, the phrase "Spanish eyes" is used a lot in the novel "Ulysses", and it also happens to be the title of another U2 song. | |

| This song is just annoying. I know many people might find some sort of deep substance to it, but to me it just sounds like they're trying to score record sales by making people happy. | |

| This is another very hopeful song done by U2. It's just saying that deep down, it IS indeed a beautiful day. And the lyrics "After the flood, all the colours came out" has become a personal motto for myself. It's something I always tell myself on a bad day. Of course, this song can get annoying if listened to ad nausea...but it's still a great optimistic song. | |

| I love the way this song starts out in Bono's semi-baratone voice, "the heart is a bloom". I've always liked his poetic lyrics. I'm sorry it took me a while to catch up w/their music. Then, the guitars strike and the enthusiastic chorus begins, telling us not to let the day or life, for that matter, get away from us. As everyone else already chimed, encouraging. | |

| I love this. This holds so much for me.. I was coming back from a weekend I'd spent seeing my best friend and my then girlfriend.. but before I got on the coach I spent an hour with my best friend and we hardly uttered a word but so much seemed to be said.. I realised she was the most beautiful creation I'd ever seen. I didn't know to smile or cry, and this song came on my walkman.. just summed up 100% how I was feeling. Amazing | |

The last line of those lyrics also could refer to the end chapter of "Ulysses". In that chapter, Bloom's wife thinks about her and her husband's past, but the whole thing is in a continuous, unpunctuated stream. It's really hard to read and I can see how it could be thought of as a maze.
