TitleArtistCommentsDurationSong
Mysterious Ways U2It's a song about a man living on little or no romance, Bono says. "It's a song about women - or a woman - but it's addressed to him." Bono talks a bit about theology and about El Shadi - the third and least used name for God in the Bible, which translates as "the breasted one." "I've always believed that the spirit is a feminine thing," he says. "Mysterious Ways" is not about a particular woman. It is about women in general, and the way they entrance, and often dominate men. Says Bono, "At times I do tend to idealize women. It's easy to fall into the trap of separating them into angels and devils for the sake of the drama. But there's no way that there's ever anything anti-women involved. Our songs are not politically correct. They are written from a man's point of view. He's wrestling with different things, there's a flash of anger and hurt here and there. But I don't think women come out badly."4m:05sPlay Music in pop-up window

Even Better Than The Real Thing (Perfecto Mix)U2/Paul Oakenfold RemixSpecialness of religious experiences and how close people feel to God. This song was performed on the Zoo TV tour with huge monitors flashing messages and video clips behind the band.
