| dang, i hate when that happens. anyway. i'm starting really to savor the lyrics more... and just because i know that's it's really about his father doesn't mean i can't twist it into something else that makes it more special for me. you know? anyway, it seems to really solidify the relationship with one of my friends I don’t need… I don’t need to hear you say That if we weren’t so alike You’d like me a whole lot more Listen to me now I need to let you know You don’t have to go it alone i would really like for people to understand this line. it seems that way too many people are TRYING to go through life all alone when there are peple that care about them. anyway i'm done ranting... for now anyway | |

| U2 played this on SNL and it was absolutely amazing. I read an article that said that two of the female cast members were seen in tears because they were so happy/moved by U2. This is definitely an amazing song that i believe is comparable to 'One'. Bono's relationship with his father is very well articulated in the lyrics. | |

| I wish Bono was my dad. Every year, he just gets cooler and cooler. Bono just has one of the best voices around. Nothing fancy or overly affected, just great. While matters of opinion will always be a point of contention, I feel that U2 (with the possible exception of Zooropa) have remained consistent, over the years, which is a rare thing. | |

| It was writen to his father after he died of cancer and recently my father was diagnosed with liver syrosis and cancer so it's very scary . eventhough my father doen't show hs pain i know it's thier and i want to thake most of his pain from but i know i can i have to be thier for him. This song just reminds me so much of us and fighting about the smallest things. | |
