Of a Life

Not a fan of the whole song but from 1:51 - 2:18 then again at 3:02 to the end, it turns radical. I love the tempo changes.

I think it's the best song on Siberia.

It's actually "All Because of You Days" but thanks for playing.

I like the ending of "In the Margins" a lot as well.

Siberia is a collection of half songs. It could have been something very special.

I like the whole of Of A Life, other than the production... it sounds like a Bunnymen song.

We constantly get told "over there" that they are moving forward, that they won't revisit the 80s sounding songs -- yet, there we are.

Couldn't stand All Because of You Days, Make Us Blind, Everything Kills You and What If We Are? What If We Are? Perhaps the worst ever ballad penned by Mac.

I've been saying "Of A Life" is the best track on Siberia since the album was released. The track soars.

During the intro I thought it was Of A Life.

I hadn't heard that song since this morning.

"Make Us Blind" is easily the worst track on that record, IMO.

I like it. I also like What If We Are?

Siberia has to be one of the meanest songs he's ever written. Imagine knowing that he's written that one for you. Yikes.

Man I can't believe all the moaners on this site and how you basically hate just about everything they do post 1985. I was always a Bunnymen fan but I was the biggest U2 fan ever. And then Bono started getting under my skin and then I just couldn't get into the music any more. I haven't bought U2's last three cd's and I try to avoid there video's and any news about them and I definitely do not go to any of there websites, official or not official sites. I basically had enough of U2 about ten years ago and I don't bother with them any more. Maybe some of the people who constantly moan about the Bunnymen should do the same.

You're at the wrong site buddy. We don't tell people to leave over their opinions on the Bunnymen's post 97 output. Some of us think it's brilliant and some of us think it's crap and some of us think it falls somewhere in the middle and all three opinions are just as valid.

Besides we all prefer "GAY" Mac over here Joe. Spaghetti straps, lipstick and all.

Can someone recommend a good conditioner for my hair. It's very fine and I want a fuller, luxurious look and feel.
