Record of the Day: U2 - Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For..

I'm a pretty massive U2 fan, which is surprising considering I don't appear to be a dramatic socially and morally conscious 35 year old man with thick rimmed glasses disappointed at the world, but also really not surprising if you know me at all and know that I am in fact a dramatic socially and morally conscious 35 year old (possibly more like 50) man with thick rimmed glasses disappointed at the world trapped in the body of a 22 year old girl with contacts and the occasional burst of social awkwardness. Yay for me! So, I love U2. It was difficult for me to even choose my favourite song because I felt bad for all the other songs every time I did! What's so wonderful about their music is I never felt like there was a single throwaway note or lyric - like everything was placed exactly where it was supposed to be. And I'm sure you've all heard a song and it makes you feel like the band has literally taken the words right out of your brain and muddled them up so they sound way more coherent and probably rhyme and put them to music? Well, that's how I feel all the time when I listen to U2. Eventually I chose this song, but not because I like it more than the others, just because I felt it appropriate at the moment :)
