  With or without you.. It has given me goose bumps time and again.. every single time i've heard it.
Yes.. of course it's the age old song by U2. Sometimes I wonder what is it about Irish men! There's passion, sadness, love, rejection, acceptance, submission, longing, ego, pain .. and tears.. all rolled into one piece. I don't think its possible for a woman, a woman in love, to not think of her man in it. If she doesn't, all I can say is, I hope their love doesn't ever reach the stag where it becomes too much of a survival instinct.
Ironic.. it doesn't even contain that word once.. of course its not required..or may be it cant be required.. I was told by a close friend once that this song happens to be the most popular song among men after a separation. I don't know why or how. I am not a man. May be I wouldn't have been able to comprehend if even if I were.
But I do believe that at one plane, these two species are all the same. They need something that they can't do without but still hate to ask for. I don't know what de Bono was think while writing this piece but a song.. an idea is how its looked upon by the perceiver. For me.. whatever it evoked .. intense will remain an understatement for it.
