| I read the same interview where bono said that tomorrow was a song directly about his mother's funeral. this song has beautiful themes, and as an idea had so much potential. the irish music at the beginning is really good, and the first half of the song is beautiful and raw emotion. however, does anyone else think that when the beat speeds up and the song gets louder, that this ruins the song and its meaning? whenever i hear this song i stop it when it starts to get faster - this could have been such a beautiful song, and the first half of it is. a missed opportunity - a lost gem :( | |

| I remember reading that Bono's grandfather died and his mother collapsed at the funeral with a brain hemorrhage. She died a few days later, leaving him without his strongest support. His father and older brother did not appreciate his being a dreamer, making the loss even harder to deal with. | |

| This is a song about the loss of Bono's mother and her funeral; obviously a very difficult time in his life. To achtungbaby02, I think that the part where the song speeds up fits beautifully. Try to imagine it. You're 14 years old and you just lost your mother. You're hurt, you're tender, but even more than that, you're angry. I think the speeding up and the heavier vocal tone only adds more emphasis to the song's meaning. He is angry. Most of us feel that songs about sadness and loss should be slow and full of soul, but most of the time when we lose someone we love, we feel angry. We want to scream and shout and it's not always tender and beautiful. That part of "Tomorrow" only symbolizes another part of the grief process. He's mad and he doesn't understand why a God he believes so wholeheartedly in has taken his mother. That anger and that fast-paced part of the song is the the song's soul. It is the saddest, loneliest, and most heartbreaking part of "Tomorrow". You definately should not skip it because to listen to only the first half is to turn a blind eye to the kind of raw emotional power he exhibits. When a young man is in great pain and grief, how can anyone say that any part of what he feels (and in Bono's case; writes and sings) is a missed opportunity? The (loud) part of the song is Bono voicing anger and frustration. Don't overlook it as him wanting to add a rock and roll twist to a power ballad. That is not what it is. A truly heartbreaking song. It's one of my favorites, but it is very hard to listen to it for all the raw emotion in it. It's a lot to take in all at once, but the honest soul-searching backbone of U2 lies in songs like "Tomorrow" where you feel that they are speaking to you through their music. beautiful and sad, this song is the essence of U2. | |
