Top 10 U2 songs

#5 Bad
Kings of Convenience has a song called The Build-Up. Bad made me think about that title. The build up lasted for days...

This song is one long, impressive and inspiring build up to when Bono sings/shouts
- I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake!
And then he cools down, singing
- I'm not sleeping.
And then the song ends.
And you feel wide awake, full of adrenaline. Because you have let yourself ride on a wave of Edge's monotonous and yet beautiful riff. And the wave increases in size as Larry gets his drums going wild. And in the end you find yourself on top of a beautiful and uncontrollable wave (I'm wide awake!!!). And then the wave breaks the shore and it's over and you lie on the beach with a big smile. (I'm not sleeping).
