Achtung Baby Sessions
(Hansa Studio, Berlin 1991)
And the day is dry
And there's no water
And you can't see the road ahead
You can only see her
Woman... Woman...
A promise comes to this house
Where no one can sleep
U2
Bono
The Edge
Adam Clayton
Larry Mullen Jr.

I know the 'There is a silence that comes to our house where nobody can sleep' line was later used in Ultraviolet...but God have mercy, that melody, tone, and line - gives me chills and almost brings a tear to my eye. This is a beautiful piece of music. It really shows me the discipline this group of people had to be able to take something like this and have the wisdom to not jump the gun and call it day - but continue working on it to make the songs of Achtung baby. I still can't help but feel that this song, in this incarnation is a great piece in its own right.

This song would fit better that So Cruel in Achtung Baby
