The first time I heard the Joshua Tree I could not believe my ears. And this track was one of the main reasons.
It is definitely one of the all time great albums.
Why? i think it's kinda Bono's frustration to get rock music.
The lyric: "Naked flame..she stands with a naked flame...I stand with the sons of Cain..burned by the fire of love...burned by the fire of love." These words take me places. Always have.
