No clue if I’ve contributed before but Grace is an absolute shocker of a noise.

To me, "Wild Honey" is a very strange song, strange lyrics, very annoying addition on that particular fine record.
Why is Bono singing about "I was a monkey...Stealing honey from a swarm of bees".
LOL
I try my best to skip it when I listen to the album.... but the melody is very catchy.
It should have been an instrumental.

U2 song - Wild Honey
Album - All That You Can’t Leave Behind

In the days
When we were swinging from the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees
I could taste
I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind
You could go there if you please
Wild honey
And if you go there, go with me
Wild honey
Did I know you?
Did I know you even then?
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made
From the cruel sun
You were shelter
You were my shelter and my shade
If you go there with me
Wild honey
You can do just what you please
Wild honey
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild
I'm still standing, I'm still standing
Where you left me
Are you still growing wild
With…

Wild Honey is a beautiful sweet little song, I just never understood the hate for it.

I actually like it.

Don't worry there's still hope for you - there are plenty U2 associations that deal with people like yourself: fans who have terrible taste.

Take a friend along with you and just remember that WE CARE ABOUT YOU.

Hopefully you'll come out the other side a better person - listening to AB and POP and forgetting about the last 20 years.

You'll get through this - and just remember BONO LOVES YOU

12 years later (TWELVE YEARS, dear Lord!) I still stand behind this opinion.

Agree with all except Elvis. That song is just pure musical bliss.
