This song was on "Gangs of New York" soundtrack and yes, it's about the Irish who emigrated to America. A great song and also a great movie!

I like listening to this song when I'm driving. With endless road on the horizon, against the crimson cloud background, and Bono's voice perfecting the blend, I'll never be bored of driving.

I think the voyage from "freckled hills" to "steel & glass canyons" is about emigration from Ireland to the USA (specifically NYC). I remember reading an interview somewhere that the lyrics re: Sept. do refer to 9/11.

Its early fall There's a cloud in the New York skyline Innocence dragged across a yellow line thats about september 11th. the rest of the song isnt, its about how new york grew, and about how irish imigrants played a large role in this. the last line about sept 11th is just bringing it up to date, maybe showing how new york is defined today, whereas the rest of the song tells what made the city

This song is most definetly about moving from ireland. I'm not Irish, but I do know that "halle" is the irish word for "holy" and Bono says them both in the song. Also, I encourage everyone to wach the music video, it proves that its about moving from Ireland.

Update for Karatekid2007, holy in Irish is "Naomh", it can change slightly depending in what context you use it, Holy Spirit would be 'Spiorad Naomh', The Holy Father would be 'an tAthair Naofa' Not sure what Halle means, it could be latin or indeed Hebrew for Holy....... you just never know with Bono
