| The video is based on the artwork of Edweard Muybridge, who invented one of the earliest motion picture devices. It was called, interestingly... the Zoopraxiscope. If you're familiar with Muybridge, the video is hilarious. | |

| I know I've read that Bono saw a home video of his mother wearing a lemon dress. He was 14 when she died, but he says he can barely remember what she looked like. If you listen to the song closely, it can be related to the loss of a mother. He is saying he's going through life, but eventually he'll meet up with her. | |

| It's about Bono seeing his deceased mom on video; this is well-documented. The video is based on the work of Edward Muybridge. As with the rest of U2's ZooTV/Zooropa stuff, the whole idea of media, virtual realities, etc. comes into play here. In most cases, seeing video footage is a pale stand-in for actual experience, but in the case of this song, it's the closest Bono can get to actually seeing his mother again...It's "Even Better than the Real Thing", get it? This sense of ambiguity and moral uncertainty is part of what made this stuff so impactful at the time of its release, right at the end of the Cold War, etc., etc. | |

| In american slang lemon (or high yellow) means sexually attractive mulatto girl. This song was written after Adam and Naomi Campbell split-up. As far as I know they`re supposed to be married but... Naomi with her illusive lifestyle could be mysterious lemon lady. Look how tenderly Bono hugs Adam in the video. | |

| The song is okay....the music video is disturbing. Bono sang it okay during the Zoo TV show in Sydney. | |
