U2 - i still haven't found tekst betyder?
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Gruppen arbejdede på nummeret i det studie, som de havde oprettet i Danesmoate House i Dublin. Lanois sammenlignede skabelsen af sangen med at opføre en bygning, idet han først lagde trommerne som fundament og derefter tilføjede yderligere lag stykke for stykke, før han til sidst "satte møbler ind". Forsanger Bono var interesseret i temaet om åndelig tvivl, hvilket blev fremmet af Enos kærlighed til gospelmusik og af Bonos lytning til sange af The Swan Silvertones, The Staple Singers og Blind Willie Johnson. Efter at The Edge havde skrevet en akkordsekvens og spillet den på akustisk guitar "med en masse kraft i strumming", forsøgte gruppen at komponere en passende vokalmelodi og afprøvede en række forskellige idéer. Under en jam-session begyndte Bono at synge en "klassisk soul"-melodi, og det var denne tilføjelse, der fik Edge til at høre sangens potentiale. På det tidspunkt kom han i tanke om en sætning, som han havde skrevet i en notesbog den morgen som en mulig sangtitel: "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" (Jeg har stadig ikke fundet det, jeg leder efter). Han antyder, at det var påvirket af en linje fra Bob Dylan-sangen "Idiot Wind": "You'll find out when you reach the top you're on the bottom". Han skrev sætningen på et stykke papir og gav det til Bono, mens han sang. The Edge kaldte sætningen for at passe til sangen "som hånd i handske". Fra det tidspunkt var sangen det første stykke, der blev spillet for gæsterne under optagelserne.
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
The group worked on the track at the studio they had set up at Danesmoate House in Dublin. Lanois compared the creation of the song to constructing a building, first laying down the drums as the foundation, then adding additional layers piece by piece, before finally "putting in furniture". Lead singer Bono was interested in the theme of spiritual doubt, which was fostered by Eno's love for gospel music, and by Bono's listening to songs by The Swan Silvertones, The Staple Singers, and Blind Willie Johnson. After the Edge wrote a chord sequence and played it on acoustic guitar "with a lot of power in the strumming", the group attempted to compose a suitable vocal melody, trying out a variety of ideas. During a jam session, Bono began singing a "classic soul" melody, and it was this addition that made the Edge hear the song's potential. At that point, he remembered a phrase he had written in a notebook that morning as a possible song title, "I still haven't found what I'm looking for". He suggests it was influenced by a line from the Bob Dylan song "Idiot Wind": "You'll find out when you reach the top you're on the bottom". He wrote the phrase on a piece of paper and handed it to Bono while he was singing. The Edge called the phrase's fit with the song "like hand in glove". From that point on, the song was the first piece played to visitors during the recording sessions.
