don't know who knows this song, or who cares really, but
it's that song where U2 and Pavarotti do a little duet...
but damn, I think it's gorgeous... never been an opera fan,
but Pavarotti's voice just lifts this song so incredibly
when he comes in... amazing stuff!

Did this come after Pop? After that album - which I think is
severely underrated - I lost all interest in the group
completely, for some reason. I've only ever heard like 5
seconds of this track. Pavarotti, when he came to fore for
Italia '90 I was well impressed and he really brought Opera
to the uncouth masses but these days he's just a fat old
pervert with weak ankles and a 19 year old wife innie?

this is from that Passengers release... it's technically not
considered a U2 release, cause Brian Eno is really a member
of the band for this one... it came out just after Zooropa I
believe, so that's before Pop...

well yeah, after Pop they have gone down hill quite a bit...
it's like, Pop wasn't well received so lets do what is well
received... and they try and capture something like the
joshua tree again, but All That You Can't Leave Behind just
sounded crap to me... Pop is a great album in my opinion...

Yeah, I skipped Passengers because by then I'd become
disillusioned with buying any piece of crap that a band I'd
followed would release, also I was heavily into drugs and my
tastes had somewhat altered. Anything remotely cringeworthy
which I had managed to stomach was out the window.

I can't help humming along every time I hear Beautiful Day
but that's probably because it's the theme tune to the main
football programme on UK TV. Their last album is the only
true U2 release I haven't bought or even heard. I think it's
embaressing to watch a band try to recapture past glories
when they have no chance of doing it. That applies to many
groups, across many decades...

bah. I'm drunk.

i'm definitely not a fan of u2, but this is one of the best
songs i've ever heard, especially when pavarotti starts to
sing. I remember seeing the video on tv.

great track!
I also really like the "Hands that built america"-track...
U2 is good. I enjoy listening to a lot of their work, their
old and their new.
I agree on POP being a great album to.
