addendum

I just discovered the final 1:30 of the song including Edge's guitar solo is taken from the hymn "My Savior's Love". This adds even more meaning to the song. This implies an alternate interpretation for the final 1:30. This could be cutting back to the present retelling of the account and is the character's answer and expression of God's admonition: "Shout for joy if you get the chance."

The words of that hymn:

I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene, And wonder how He could love me, A sinner, condemned, unclean.

Refrain O how marvelous! O how wonderful! And my song shall ever be: O how marvelous! O how wonderful! Is my Savior's love for me!

For me it was in the garden He prayed: “Not My will, but Thine.” He had no tears for His own griefs, But sweat drops of blood for mine.

O how marvelous! O how wonderful! And my song shall ever be: O how marvelous! O how wonderful! Is my Savior's love for me!

In pity angels beheld Him, And came from the world of light To comfort Him in the sorrows He bore for my soul that night.

O how marvelous! O how wonderful! And my song shall ever be: O how marvelous! O how wonderful! Is my Savior's love for me!

He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own; He bore the burden to Calvary, And suffered and died alone.

O how marvelous! O how wonderful! And my song shall ever be: O how marvelous! O how wonderful! Is my Savior's love for me!

When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall see, 'Twill be my joy through the ages To sing of His love for me.

O how marvelous! O how wonderful! And my song shall ever be: O how marvelous! O how wonderful! Is my Savior's love for me!

Great work. I share similar sentiments. I do believe the bombshell is "Stand Up Comedy".

That really does sound like My Savior's Love! I think the lyrics are Sweet 33, not 3:33. 33 was the age Jesus was crucified which make sense that it was when the numbers fell off the clock face.
