I've heard this song thousands of times, yet it's still my favourite u2 song..
the way they played it in boston shows how perfectly balanced this song is.
because of the calm verses, the chorus seems even louder.. like silence before a storm..
I also think this is a song you need to hear often, to find out what it's about..
There is more text than just 'New York', and Especially this part I think is great..
In New York, I lost it all to you and your vices
Still I'm staying on to figure out my mid-life crisis
I hit an iceberg in my life
You know I'm still afloat
You lose your balance, lose your wife
In the queue for the lifeboat
