It starts off like a whisper, and if you've never heard the song before, you have no idea that you are about to be taken on a journey.
What a great way to start an album, huh?
Bono has said that they play "Streets" when they want God to walk through the room during a concert. My mom has argued with me that God is always in the room but I can't deny that electric feeling that happens when those opening notes of the song start. Even when its the album version, I am taken on a journey and definitely feel at least a little bit different when its over than when it began.
Anthemic? Sure.
Memorable? You bet.
Maybe they were divinely inspired when they wrote the it.
