Love is Blindness

One of U2's saddiest sexy songs, or sexiest sad songs, and I'm still not sure that Sixpence brings anything vital to its interpretation, but I do want to say one thing, which is did you notice that the riff Slocum uses in the song is exactly the same as Radiohead's "Street Spirit" save for one note?And so Sixpence does what Coldplay tried to do but couldn't on their first couple of records:  successfully marries U2 and Radiohead in a single song.
