A Few Words

Running to Stand Still is one of my all time favorite U2 songs. This may be considered an Irish thing, but I have a special memory of a great guitar duo playing this at The Swamp (formerly Chaucers in Gainesville) just for me upon request,  and also seeing U2 live in Tampa (in all places, weird huh) it was a swamp there but they did a great show amidst a very suburban metropolis area). My best memory of this song, besides listening to it decades ago and enjoying it personally, was that my roommate's friend played this in their home in Gainesville, knowing I was a true U2 fan, and playing the songs they knew I loved. Music is the maker of memories.
