	Great song that will never played played on air on radio for whatever reason. Probably because it's not pop-lite and requires a little thought and appreciation. And I agree with Arianrhod that Bullet the Blue Sky is along the same vein. Great song, great lyrics, simple yet great music. Some people can argue Bono doesn't have the greatest voice but no one can deny that when U2 puts out, the whole sound is wayyyyyy greater than the sum of the individual parts. And THAT is why they are still such a great band. Peace

	i love the idea of comparing black and white to silver and gold - that both colours and people are equally awesome. or maybe thats not what it means at all? every lyric in this song is fan-bloody-tastic - but there are two moments where bono and co just take me to another place - on the words "bright shiny things, bright shiny things, yeah" and the verse following that. also when he says "ok edge play the blues" - the solo following that is nothing technically clever but amazing sounding. bono was a truly great lyric writer. this is a prime example, along with songs like 'one' and 'so cruel'. and he could sing ok i spose, a little bit, sort of.

	bono can sing 'ok'? what?! he is one of the greatest rock vocalists...has one of the clearest voices ive ever heard...his voice is freakin awesome...

	Ahh, I love this song. Obviously, in the spoken part, Bono explains what it was about, but this song and Bullet The Blue Sky are definitely my high points of the Rattle and Hum movie. I love The Edge's guitar work in this song, that man is so talented. Go U2!
