We were actually looking for another up-tempo song to do as a cover on this record until I found this U2 song and fell in love. Somehow it just worked with the whole theme of the CD and I was happy to play piano again on something. We love the way this version came out. There is a whole lot of controversy over what people think this song is about, but Bono says it was about The Edge's divorce. I love the fact that there is space in the song for your own interpretation.
