Heartbreaking song...for those who don't know, Bono wrote this after his father, who he was estranged with, passed away. Mark of a great artist when they can put their pain into words and record a song they can share with people!

I once read where Bono said the sign of a true artist was their ability to "reveal rather than conceal". Think of all the sh*t music that is out there today, just utter mindless garbage....people like Bon JOvi and Dave Mathews come to mind. Bono and the guys have been fairly consistent in putting out truly insightful and introspective material throughout their career together. You have to appreciate that and respect it as well. It's unfortunate that they are one of only a few who do that. There are so many shit bands out there today, who are just producing mindless cheez whiz that really serves no purpose at all, and doesn't touch you in the way that music should touch you, or speak to you.. It's just filler, nothing more nothing less.
