Info about song

"A Sort of Homecoming" is the opening track on the 1984 U2 album The Unforgettable Fire. It immediately shows the change in U2's sound. Like much of the album, the hard-hitting martial drum sound of War is replaced with a subtler polyrhythmic shuffle, and the guitar is no longer as prominent in the mix. Bono had been reading the work of poet Paul Celan, whose line "poetry is a sort of homecoming" inspired the song's title. Celan's profound spiritual doubt contrasts with U2 members' previous religious certainties, and the song's line "on borderlands we run...and don't look back" suggests the band is more comfortable with the contradictions between rock and his religious beliefs. It is also featured on the EP Wide Awake In America. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
