About
"Staring at the Sun", the 5th track on U2's 1997 album Pop, features acoustic guitars and a distorted guitar riff from Edge, and a looping rhythm section from Mullen; that section was a backing track was played to the ARP 2600 running in free time, playing an odd drum-like sequence. Bono's lyrics are about apathy. The first single (Staring at the Sun) features two b-side, "North and South of the River" written by Bono and Christy Moore and "Your Blue Room" by U2 and Brian Eno as Passenger. .
