One of the finer moments from Bono and the boys' current album 'All That You Can't Leave Behind', this is a reflective, subtly catchy, scantly arranged song with a singalong chorus that'll have you humming along with your wireless.

The exact opposite to stompy rocker 'Beautiful Day', this is a touching slowburner, dedicated to late INXS rocker Michael Hutchence. Oozing the experience of a rock outfit of a certain age, not world weary, but not naive either. Bono's impassioned vocal has seldom sounded finer either. A perfectly poignant pop single.

Also featured here are live versions of 'Beautiful Day' and another album track 'New York', recorded at the LA Farmclub last October.
