The song “Stuck in a Moment that you can't get out Of” on U2's new cd “All That you can't Leave Behind” is dedicated to Michael Hutchence.
Sample lyric
“You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass.”
These are the words of a man who wishes that he could have intervened in Michael's hour of need.
Bono like all of Michael's friends probably feels that he should have been able to help prevent the tragedy of November 97 from taking place.
With suicide we are all motivated by guilt and what if's. This song is a joyous celebration of life. We can get through the bad times...all things will pass. A tad simplistic perhaps but touching nevertheless.
My hope is that this song will be uplifting to those who sorely need an infusion of happiness and optimism.
