lyric of the day 12/1/07

This song has SUCH mixed emotions for me. I instantly think of two widely diverse scenes in my life where this song was backdrop: in the dorm room of a wacky great college friend who as she giddily danced about, and at the funeral of a good man who killed himself. That it fits both scenes so fully really is a testament, isn't it?
i love the johnny cash version as well. and for some reason, the last 36 hrs on the island, the only thing i could listen to was U2. last minute packing cleaning drinking, that's all that worked. gotta go find some...
Yes, it is.

Bono wrote it for the Edge when he was in the middle of divorcing his wife (and it was an ugly, ugly divorce...So Cruel off the same album is written for him too).
