Many people have asked me in the past couple of weeks to name my favorite U2 songs. That is not an easy task. There are many, but I had never put into concrete form the U2 songs that really get me. So here they are: The catch is I want you all to try and guess what my favorite song is . . . email, comment whatever, but that one I am going to leave off til the weekend. Here are my top 9 in ascending order with my favorite quote from the song.
Honorable Mentions:
All I Want is You - "All the promises we break/From the cradle to the grave/When all I want is You"
Stuck In a Moment - I'm just trying to find a decent melody/a song I can sing in my own company"
When Loves Comes to Town - She was as pale as the lace on her wedding gown/But I left her standing before love came to town"
#10 - God Part II - "Don't believe in excess/success is to give/Don't believe in riches/but you should see where I live
#9 - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses - "You're dangerous/'cause you're honest/You're dangerous/'cause you don't know what you want"
#8 - Miracle Drug - "Freedom has a scent, like the top of a new born baby's head"
#7 - Acrobat - "I must be an acrobat/to talk like this and act like that/you can dream/so dream out loud/don't let the bastards grind you down"
#6 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - "We fight, all the time/that's alright/we're the same soul"
#5 - First Time - "I have a lover/a lover like no other/she got soul soul soul/sweet soul/she teach me how to sing"
