I'M NOT YOUR BABY

While everyone is making their case for GH 1990-2000, I would just like to
pipe in an remind everyone that one of U2's finest moments of late was not
found on Pop or Zooropa, but remains lost in obscurity on Wim Wender's
sountrack for The End of Violence.

Sure, a instrumental version is on one of the Please singles, but I'm Not
Your Baby in it's with-vocal forms is fantastic and deserves to be put on a
future compilation of 90s U2 tracks. I have never really cared for Hold Me,
Thrill Me . . . . I'm Not Your Baby has a great lyric, wonderful interaction
between Sinead and Bono, an awesome groove which was sadly lacking from the
rest of the Howie B-involved tracks, and real live Larry, instead of the
looped or drum-machine Larry which we have been fed the last little while.

I am wondering why it was left off Pop, unlike Stay or Until the End of the
World, which were also songs feautured in Wenders films.

Anyone who doesn't have this song . . . . it is worth buying the sountrack
to The End of Violence to have it. [Actually, there are a few other good
songs on it too . . . the Michael Stipe & Vic Chesnut duet is wonderful].
