The sea it swells like a sore head
and the night it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
and the day it is breaking
On rainy days we go swimming out
on rainy days, swimming in the sound
On rainy days we go swimming out

Car alarm won't let you back to sleep

let's go to places no one else has been

the funniest thing is that the day that we broke up was the same day that the first comment of this song was posted. And in that time I haven't heard this song yet!

dulcarama's right about the meaning. Anyone seen the vid. it's just unbelieveable I nearly cried when I heard this first. Taped it and spent the whole night replaying it. Totally up there with the greats.

I think it's about a couple in a crisis, fighting and you can feel the tension in the air. I agree with citz, the william orbit mix with the classical guitar is much better than the original.

The single version of this song was quite poor. I think its the William Orbit mix or something, but another version is alot more rock and classic U2 sounding.

its not supposed to be up there with the 80s stuff! its an addition to the 90s stuff seeing as its going on their 1990-2000 best of! its supposed to sound like a mix of their recent "all that u cant leave behind" stuff and their psycadelic 90s music. i think ppl who like U2 for their 80s work are very misguided. their best work has been achtung baby onwards.

'It's about a couple in a room,' explained Bono. 'Feeling a storm brewing in the sky outside and equating that to the pressure they feel in their relationship. I think it captures a sense of unease I feel around the world, especially in America, an air of nervous anticipation. It's not an overtly political song, but I don't think we could have written it before what happened in New York.'

This is a great song. While it is not up there with some of the U2 classics from the 80's, I think it's right below them.

The music video reminds me of the old movie Splash with Tom Hanks. Have any of you ever seen it? It is about a mermaid and a man and how it is hard for them to be together.

Hey, I actually have heard this song! A radio station in my state actually has a copy of it. Let me just let you guys know, it's a good tune. As for the meaning, I think it's about a couple whom have either broken up, or aren't on speaking terms, or whom are far away from each other. One of them is reflecting upon it and is hoping for a new day, for the bad luck to just wash away. Perhaps Bono or Edge wrote it about thier relationships...that's only a possibly...

I read on the official site what Bono said about this song, he says that it's about a couple sitting in a room and that the pressure of their relationship can be felt in the air. He was also talking about drawing inspiration from September 11. An awesome song and a great new single.

Brilliant song, its one of the first i heard from U2 and I'm so glad that it made me go out and listen to some more of their work now that I know what I'd been missing out on. I'm amazed at that quote from Bono that jen deisel posted, because that means that when I heard this song I actually understood the meaning without realising it. Storms, 'compromise' in pressured relationships.

Since I first heard this song I was desperate to obtain it, so I went to lengths to wait for it to come on the radio so I could record it on MiniDisc. It was well worth my trouble. I never really had a clue about this song's meaning until now, so I could see someone else's opinion. Good song though, probably from the 'Pop' era.

This is the song that epitomizes the relationship between my gf and me. We spend a lot of the time at the beach. We also love U2 and Bono. This song is so good, though. U2 is a magical band!
