Co-producer Daniel Lanois told The National Post about the writing of this song: “That was an ensemble composition. It had that great Eno/Mullen thing from the go. A kind of rolling hand drum. And the original sketch had me in charge of the chorus. Bono would point to me: ‘Ok, Lanois, you sing the chorus’ (sings the chorus’ hook out loud). It’s very much a Canadian sound there, a tribute to The Band. We call it the ‘Simcoe sound.’’ (Source Moment Of Surrender Songfacts).

5/10 for the studio version (the live version is definitely worse). did U2 ever arrive in the 21st century? such kind of songs have already been done in stadiums of the 80s by lesser known german bands or singers.

Holy shit muiris, no-one else gives two shits if the lyrics don't make a bit of sense, it's a brilliant song in every other perspective. It's good to see U2 making some progressive stuff, makes me think that there might just be some hope for them...

"punching in the numbers at the ATM machine" - That's ridiculous stuff cos ATM stands for Automatic Teller Machine. So Bono is saying machine twice. ffs

Sweet Jesus, this is the worst song that U2 ever made. Terrible chorus, I feel embarassment when I'm listening it. IMHO that's a piece of shit.
