"sometimes" was an anthem to my brother the last few months of his life as he worked on repairing the rift between himself and our father. two weeks before he passed away (12/17/07) he sent the song to dad, and my dad wanted to drive to him and hug him. i can't even listen to it right now, i had to take it off my ipod..at Bill's funeral they had a photo montage of that song.

it is absolutely beautiful, as is 'Tomorrow'.

I completely agree. That song makes my soul ache, it's so painful, but so good.

There's a version that's newer, credited just to Bono and Adam; it's also gorgeous. It came from some compilation whose name is on the tip of my fingers right now.
