Sorry, lost my wireless connection for a bit.
I think it's an incredibly personal song from Bono's perspective, and I appreciate that he wrote the song as a tribute to his father, but I just think that lyrically, it's sloppy...kind of like the demo version of Mercy that we've heard. "You're the reason why the opera is in me" is, IMO, one of the worst U2 lyrics. Musically, the song is okay, but there's quite a few songs that are better than SYCMIOYO on HTDAAB.
I agree that that lyric is not thta great too, but dispite that, I think its great
