U2 - All because of You.

Youtube Video

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.

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.

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".
