U2’s highly underrated track “Tryin to Throw Your Arms Around the World” isn’t a bad title for the band’s mission statement over the last three decades. The Daniel Lanois/Brian Eno produced track off of the magnificent 1991 album, Achtung Baby, has both a seductive and ambitious tone. The lyrics point to struggle between one’s balance of accomplishing one’s grand dreams and loving your partner. The song’s lesson on the surface is that one cannot be so consumed with one’s own might deeds, and ignore the one who they love they most. Bono almost is almost pleading for a woman to give him one more chance as he sings the chorus of “I’m gonna run to you…woman be still”. The enigmatic often brings a woman from the audience up on stage whenever they play “Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World”. I’d love to hear a Bono and Edge rock out a acoustic version of this song. Maybe some day!
