A Few things

     Hello Wirefolk!
      
     The Stay single. That is the first thing on my mind. I heard this
     EP- I think that is what they call it- about four years ago:
                        Stay(Faraway so close)
                        I've got you under my skin
                        Bullet the Blue Sky
                        Slow Dancing
                        Love Is Blindness
     A friend of mine had let me listen to it on a "Walkman"-an ancient
     device used in combination with these things called tapes- and I
     absolutely fell in love with it.
     Stay is such a great song. The best off Zooropa IMO. Frank and Bono
     together, what else could you want. But then you get more. The live
     version of Bullet introduced me to the "SAXAPHONE...SAXAPHONE!!!" and
     Slow dancing, the original version, is just so captivating. I
     especially love the line
     "She left with my conscience, I don't want it back, it just gets in
     the way".
     And finally Love is Blindness. Believe it or not this was the first
     time I was mesmerized by this song. Ofcourse I've heard it before and
     it has always been great but the Live version-I don't know where from-
     is just spectacular. I can still hear some girl screaming at the end
     of it, I think it is right after Bono sings "I don't want to see" for
     the last time.
      
     If anyone has this and knows what I'm talking about can you please
     help me. I haven't heard it in years and would love to get a CDR of
     it from somewhere. As a side note, can someone tell me where Love is
     Blindness is being played, or Bullet for that matter.
      
     Secondly, I remember someone asking about the new verse in I Will
     Follow. It is my favorite part of I Will Follow now especially
     because crouches over and starts pointing at his foot, or is it the
     soles of his shoes. I'm not to sure of the significance of the
     pointing nor am I sure of the line, but I think it goes something like
     "You took the soul in me,
     you put a hole in me,
     you should have said,
     BLAH BLAH BLAH!!" <- I never get this part.
      
     I someone knows the significance of pointing at his foot and the last
     part of the line please inform me.
      
     Lastly I wanted to mention that I think all this talk about the "U2
     sucks page" is a waste of time. There is no need to argue with
     someone who obviously does not know what he or she is talking about.
      
     One last plea for help:
      
     CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET A CDR or original COPY OF THE STAY
     SINGLE!
      
     Thanks for listening
