	"A sort of a home coming" is so special to me. It's got to be in my top 5 u2 songs. The part that goes " see the sky the burning rain, she will die and live again" reminds me of my mother who died back in '86. This song helped me thru it, and still comforts me. God, I was so young back then. These words are still so poignant to me. The words to this song flow out over my tongue like blood flows thru my viens. My life blood. " No spoken words, just a screem"...

	This is one of my favorite u2 songs. I am very sad that people don't even know this song. It was a very touching song and caused me to sing terrible reditions of their songs in the shower. As you can see, people are probably too busy downloading "Hollaback Girl" on their ipods to listen to real music.

	I knew this song was about Ireland, but living in Israel in 8 years I could understand the perspective. I felt it was a metaphor for people and the land being tired of a conflict and in your heart you wanted to go to a better place. So even if it wasn't a physical place, it still existed in your mind. Hence "A Sort of Homecoming".

	and i would like to add that i agree with PaulDavidHewsoncol, its too bad more people dont know about this song and lots of other awesome songs. i dont understand the appeal in todays music at all. personally, i think its terrible, and i was born the same year rattle and hum came out.

	This song came on the radio after Hurricane Katrina. I was driving to my nieghborhood to see if I still had a home. It was so odd for "A Sort of Homecoming" to come on the radio, but it was very weird for it to come on as I really was having my own homecoming. Even though my house is gone, this song is very important to me... I'll never forget that day I was driving home with this song playing, the ocean looking so calm, and that feeling of peace and acceptance come over me. I love U2.
