Bask

I don't quite know how to say this without sounding stupid or sappy, but U2 really strikes a chord with me deep within my being. They can somehow tap into something that no other band can. But with that said, I've been pretty frustrated/annoyed with the direction they've taken the last few years. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb was all right, but now two years after its release I couldn't tell you the last time I felt like listening to it.

Luckily though, there's this "Window in the Skies" business. I can't put my finger on it, but this song rips into me like a lot of their other recent stuff hasn't. Every aspect of it impresses me. This song coupled with the rough version of Mercy gives me plenty of hope.

If I were to say that I thought this video is "neat" then that, my friend, would be a colossal understatement.



Feel free to download the big, pretty version of it here if you so wish.
