"Get down off your holy cloud / God will not deal with the proud"
Those lines always catch my attention when I hear them, probably because it summarizes the whole song (and the one that's based on it) so well. For those of you who don't know where that is from, it's from U2's Always (which became Beautiful Day). Basically the songs both talk about slowing down and thinking about what's important for a bit, rather than getting caught up in the world and putting excessive importance in our own image or things that don't really matter. I think that's something that's probably good to think about often, which is why I think certain people should see movies like Saved. Of course that's more of a comedy and this is more introspective. OK, enough of that - it makes me want to pull out the 5 channel DTS version of Beautiful Day, and if I did that I'd probably end up listening to the whole concert. I think I know what's playing in the office tomorrow.
