About This Track

“Staring at the Sun”, the 5th track on U2’s album Pop, features acoustic guitars and a distorted guitar riff from Edge, and a looping rhythm section from Mullen; that section was a backing track was played to the ARP 2600 running in free time, playing an odd drum-like sequence. Bono’s lyrics are about apathy.

The first single (Staring at the Sun) features two b-sides, “North and South of the River” written by Bono and Christy Moore and “Your Blue Room” by U2 and Brian Eno as Passengers.
The Second single (Staring At The Sun) features NASOTR and several remixes of the title track.

    brilliant. POP is a misunderstood (mainly by the band themselves! 0.o) masterpiece.

    Tune, very fond memories of chilling at student parties years ago singing along whilst a mate played this on his acoustic guitar.

    One of the only good "80's U2" songs. Amazing melody in the verse and chorus.

    I'm not really a big U2 fan, but this is such a great song.

    This song is so easy to listen, so fluid, so lying-on-the-grass-in-summer... :)
