I don't think this song is underrated. Was played on every tour since the release. Was played only a few on Vertigo Tour but this was their worst tour supporting their worst album anyway. 2005-06 was such a bad era for U2. Vertigo Tour had the same production that Elevation Tour and the album had nothing original, was like an All that you can't leave behind part II.

Yes great line. But I always hear it as ”drowning IN sorrows”. I know the official lyrics say “drowning my sorrows” but I just can’t hear that “my”. English is not my 1st language so I’m not sure what the difference is between the two.

@steveblunden22953 жыл бұрын
"Drowning my sorrows" is an English idiom that refers to someone who is heartbroken / very upset trying to use alcohol to feel better and deaden the pain. "But my sorrows learnt to swim" is a clever twist of words by Bono that says the sorrows won't go away - and indeed get worse. Instead of downing the sorrows, the sorrows overwhelm and drown the singer. It ends in suicide - the fate of Judas Iscariot.

For my money this song has held up as good as any track in their entire catalog. Even more than some of their bigger hits. Even some of said hits from this same album(e.g. Mysterious Ways). When I think about Bono’s challenge to the band when he said “we are going away for a while to dream it all up again“ at the end of the 3+ year slog of the Joshua Tree/Lovetown tours, and its subsequent courageous exploration into uncharted waters thematically/creatively/sonically/artistically, its impossible to overstate how much of a departure Achtung Baby was from everything they’d ever done before. Looking back now it seems like a natural progression. But back then it sooooo wasn’t. They dominated the entire decade of the 80s. Yet they had the balls to go away for a couple years and come back with something that was completely different in every imaginable way. So when I think back to that time, in my view this song is the perfect representation of it. Going into the dynamic between Judas and Jesus was game changing for them. And eventually for the entirety of popular music in the 90s. That’s probably why they’re one of the only bands from the 80s who expanded their popularity in the 90s.

Edge was the OG Tom Morello. Or I should say the edge pushed guitar effects in his day and then Tom did likewise later on, extreme effects and production and just distorting what a guitar could be. Wonderful sounds, sometimes walls of sound, very triumphant and rousing.

Great to read all of these comments. Here's my little story. One sunny summer day almost 30 years ago, then a late teen, I was walking to what turned out to be a memorable Zoo TV open air concert. Walked past a bus filled to the brim with other concertgoers. Saw a girl on the bus using her lipstick to write on her arm. She wrote "In the garden, I was playing the tart". The lipstick writing was probably gone the next day, the image and the lyric will stay with me forever.
