SINGLE OF THE WEEK

U2: "Staring At The Sun" (Island) Dial-a-track code: 2301

Just in time for the good weather, U2 put out their second single from Pop, moving metaphorically off the dance floor and on to the local park on a summer's day. The tune drifts on a simple, Oasis-type acoustic chord progression, Bono's languid vocal chewing lazily on a blade, of grass, before the Edge's guitar cuts through the chorus like a tightly-wound lawnmower.
