  1. Recently, i came across with this version of Miracle Drug

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNm7P2lY9DA&NR=1

    In the beginning, Bono explains where the song actually came from.
    And... I don't know about you, but the little story actually really touched me and made the song even more special to me than it already was...

    What i also don't know (a lot actually but hey ) is if this story was well-known already or not. But probably some of you don't so i took the chance to post this topic.

    Anyway, if you knew the story or not, i think it would be interesting to here your opinion.
    And furthermore, if you'd like to share what you thought the song was about or reminds you of in your personal life (if you'd want to), as i personally always had a different idea of the song.

  2. WOW, I'd never heard that story either...that's moving.

    My favorite MD related thing? Bono's intro to the song from Boston.

    Boston, MA: 10/4/2005


    "I know some of you know this...maybe everybody knows this...but, you know The Edge is from the future...right?

    And not even our future. He comes from the future on a completely different planet. That's right. And Adam, Larry, and myself were on the north side of Dublin, and before we saw his spaceship, we heard it. We heard those notes. (The notes of "Miracle Drug" ring out)

    It was the sound of Edge's spaceship, as he came to be with us.

    So as he got out of the spaceship, Larry stepped forward and said, "Who are you?" And he replied, "I am The Edge." So Larry said, "Where are you from?!" And he replied, "I'm from the future."

    Adam walked up, and said, "Really (laughing). And what's that like?"

    And Edge said...

    "It's better."


    I posted this as a Facebook note awhile ago to share with people who wouldnt otherwise know this intro. I know it was done multiple times, but the Boston one is my fave.
  3. Suprises me you haven’t seen it yet
    I saw that video recently after I first heard the song, so I didn’t really had the time to form my own interpretation
    Only thing I can say at the moment: I wish there were more miracle drugs in the world, I know someone who can really use it at the moment
