Can someone add what the official meaning of the song is? I've heard all sorts of theories but none that have an official source to back it up. Among the explanations I heard are the relationship between: a man and a woman, Bono and his wife, God and Jesus, Bono and God, a drug addict and drugs. I'm

If someone decides to amend this, what happens to the pages with links to it? Are they going to be changed automatically? Also, I seem to have read in several places that song titles' words all start with caps? Was I wrong? I do understand that WP has its own rules (which may be universal encyclopic

Yes; it's not particularly uncommon for U2. The difference in length is usually down to the amount of silence at the end of track before it leads into the next one, and it varies between releases depending on what that track is. I believe that the run-time of 4:56 should be the one used, since that

I have very different lengths for the song. For example, the back cover of the Joshua Tree original CD release lists it as 4:57; the back cover of The Best of 1980-1990 lists it as 4:55; in the liner notes of U218 Singles, the length of this song is 4:56; in Billboard Top Hits: 1987, the length of

Seems to me this article contains quite a few unsourced statements and personal opinions. "According to Bono, the song was heavily influenced by Scott Walker's album Climate of Hunter." "The song is U2's second most frequently covered song." "'With or Without You' is also widely considered one of

I'm currently listening to a version of the song with a stupid-ass dance drum beat and some slightly altered lyrics. The arrangement is also a little different as well. Does anyone know what this is? It's just come on the radio. Has it been rereleased by some DJ or something?
500:
this song is listed as 5:00. Previously, in this article, the length of the song was 4:56, but Dream out loud changed it to 4:53. Does the length of this song differ between releases, either U2 albums as well as compilations that feature songs by several artists?

Okay Dude, first of all, their very first kiss was in the laundromat, and there was no music at all. The thing you refer too is their second kiss, and the music which is player there is not definitely not "With or Without You". Sounds totally different.

The song was used in the show 3 times, not 2. The first is when Ross kisses Rachel for the very first time - that's why it sort of became their theme song.
