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).

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.

I think they did I brilliant Job on the Premiere of SNL. People need to shut up because if it's not on a damn commercial they don't give a flying fuck. Idiots!

I’ve been in every black hole.. At the altar of the dark star.. My body’s now a begging bowl.. That’s begging to get back, begging to get back.. To my heart, To the rhythm of my soul, To the rhythm of my unconsciousness, To the rhythm that yearns, To be released from control ...<3

Epic and bold performance on SNL, playing to an audience that wouldn't know that song because its not their ringtone... playing it with such emotion, and a lot of improvised rhymes from Bono, signature performance of this song.
