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.
It just makes me feel free and released from all the blackness inside of me !!!!!
