Local Time: 02:05 PM | Agree with most that's been said here. To me it's like our very own Bohemian Rhapsody kind of song, in terms of structure. Three very distinct parts all very cool. But it's when the song bursts into life at 3:59 precisely that is one of the best moments in music. Very uplifting too |

Local Time: 01:35 PM | Great part of the song this, great lyrics.  And I have no compass and I have no map And I have no reasons, no resons to get back And I have no religion and I don't know what's what And I don't know the limit, the limit of what we got Zooropa Don't worry baby, it'll be alright Zooropa You've got the right shoes to get you through the night Zooropa It's cold outside but brightly lit Zooropa Skip the subway, let's go to the overground Get your head out of the mud baby Put flowers in the mud, baby, overground No particular place names, no particular song I've been hiding, what am I hiding from Zooropa Don't worry baby, it's gonna be alright Zooropa Uncertainty can be a guiding light Zooropa I hear voices, ridiculous voices I'm in the slipstream Zooropa Let's go, let's go overground Take your head out of the mud baby She's gonna dream up the world she wants to live in She's gonna dream out loud Dream out loud Dream out loud |

Local Time: 03:05 AM | The song is so great that if all three parts were actually three seperate songs, all three would possibly get in my all time U2 top 20! |

Local Time: 10:05 PM | My favourite U2 song! It really transcends you, and the optimistic joy in the song is so refreshing. It's the kind of song I could listen to all day  And it's PURPLE. The entire song is purple. Purple space crack.Don't worry baby, it's gonna be alright 'cause uncertainty could be our guiding light I hear voices, ridiculous voices I'm in the slipstream Let's go, let's go, overground  She's gonna dream up the world she wants to live in She's gonna dream out loud, dream out loud |

Local Time: 08:05 PM | All of those have some pretty cliche stuff, especially that abysmal aches/breaks rhyme in Walk On. I guess I'm referring to the conceptual angle as well as the actual lyrical content, because it's time for them to go exploring again after two albums of the close-to-home stuff. |

 I admit it's kind of a cliché, but it really has a beautiful lyric seeing it as a whole, and not reviewing the techinique. But then again, this is something that changes with each person. Well, then let's leave personal opinions behind and celebrate on the greatness of Zooropa (the album and the song)  | |

 What I loved about Bono's songwriting in the 90s was how it embodied so much uncertainty. Zooropa best captures that, though songs like Mofo and Gone touch on it, too. Thematically, the last two albums have dealt with that same uncertainty, but not as sharply as Bono did in the past. I think the new album will be Bono's chance to prove himself as a songwriter again. He gives such powerful speeches that I know he still has it in him. | |

Local Time: 11:05 PM | Epic song...just barely beats out Mysterious Ways as my favorite song. It is amazing; a song that is still ahead of its time. A song you can totally lose yourself in. |
