| I have to say that I agree with irishprincess. The album was called "Joshua Tree" with regards to Joshua Tree national forest. The band spent some time there and no doubt it influenced their music for this album in a major way, hence the album title. I've lived in AZ all my life and have heard it called "God's Country" quite a few times. A Sahuaro cactus is best described as a crooked cross. Now it may not be the only meaning of the song, some of the best songs have infinit meanings. It's just what the song means to me. | |

| I always thought that when he said "Sleep comes like a drug In God's country Sad eyes, crooked crosses In God's country" he was talking about Israel and the fighting going on there | |

| Great song. Musically, I love how that beat goes from a hard bassline to an immediate reply of the drumline. Mullen and Clayton drive this song for me. The lyrics are very impressive and I think they do reflect U2's experience in the American Southwest on the literal level and America and Ireland on the "other" levels. I drove many many miles in Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Ohio listening to this song. Peace | |

| Gosh... I can't believe how 'expanded' the meaning of this song has been made so far.... The song IS about Ireland AND the US. Nothing more, nothing less. This has been mentioned in various interviews/magazines in the past. So.. sometimes life IS that simple that we need not dig too deeply... :-) | |
