    Default What is this song about?

    U2 - All because of You.



    Tell me what you think it's about - then I'll give you my opinion.

    Just curous to see what people think.

    Oh, and no one post the lyrics!

    Ok, Uh... Guy in heavy depression is kept afloat because of his affection for someone ("you"). I think I got some undertones of "the world is a horrid place and we really should do something about it" which is par for the course considering the band.
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Bono is on record as saying it can mean god or your mother or someone close to your etc etc

    Some people like to think it's about U2 itself and how the fans have made them big.

    That was my answer, but more indirectly.

    Good bands/music groups let the audience fill in the gaps themselves. That's how the brain works and how you become successful in entertainment.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    If they were going to copy AC-DC's ride-through-the-city-concert motif, they could have at least put some bagpipes in the song.

    And I had no idea Bono prefers his mic position set to "Lemmy".

    U2?

    The song is about gay sex.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
