U2’s tenth album, 2000’s All That You Can’t Leave Behind, was a comeback record following the failed electronica experimentation of 1997’s Pop.
The record was a deliberate attempt to return to the earnest rock style of The Joshua Tree — the style that catapulted the band to superstardom in the first place.
Buoyed by the success of lead-off single ‘Beautiful Day,’ the album went quadruple platinum in the U.S. and sold 12 million copies worldwide. Among the record’s other hits were ‘Walk On,’ ‘Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of’ and ‘Elevation.’
My favorite track on this album isn’t one of the hits but the sweet little throwaway track ‘Wild Honey.’ A rousing remembrance of innocent romance, this song doesn’t try as hard as the rest of the songs on the album and is all the better for it.
When we were swinging form the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees
I could taste
I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind
You can go there if you please
Wild honey
And if you go then go with me
Wild honey
Did I know you
Did I know you even then
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made
From the cruel sun
You were shelter
You were my shelter and my shade
If you go there with me
Wild honey
You can do just what you please
Wild honey
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild
I’m still standing
I’m still standing where you left me
Are you still growing wild
With everything tame around you
I send you flowers
Cut flowers for your hall
I know your garden is full
But is there sweetness at all
What is soul
Love me
Give me soul
If you go then go with me
Wild honey
Won’t you take me, take me please
Wild honey
Yeah, swinging through the trees
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild
Meet Me In Montauk 
So the iPod fairy randomly picked your favorite track from this album?
I like this song better than others from U2, probably for the reasons you gave.
