A house still doesn't make a home, Don't leave me here alone...

Esta música foi composta por Bono, em homenagem a seu falecido pai, Bob Hewson, que morreu de câncer em 2001. No funeral de seu pai, Bono cantou a canção, e no vídeo da canção, mostra uma nota sobre seu pai. O vídeo para a canção começa com uma nota de Bono sobre seu pai, dizendo: "Eu gostaria de ter conhecido ele melhor."




A CARTA:

'I sang 'Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own' at my father's funeral. He was a very tough, old boot of a guy, Irish, Dub, north side of Dublin, very cynical about the world and the people in it, you know, but very charming, and funny with it.
'His whole thing was, 'Don't dream - to dream is to be disappointed'. That was really what I think was his advice to me. He didn't speak it in those words, but that's what he meant, and of course that's really a recipe for megalomania isn't it? I mean I was only ever interested in big ideas, and not so much dreaming but putting dreams into action, doing the things that you have in your head has become an important thing for me.
'The song 'Sometimes You Cant Make it On Your Own', was dedicated to him, and, it's a portrait of him - he was a great singer, a tenor, a working class Dublin guy who listened to the opera and conducted the stereo with my mother's knitting needles. He just loved opera, so in the song, I hit one of those big tenor notes that he would have loved so much. I think he would have loved it, I hope so.'
Bono

As vezes não aproveitamos realmente o que temos quando temos, e mais tarde por vezes arrependemo-nos por não estarmos mais tempo ao lado das pessoas que realmente nos amam!!!

As vezes não percebemos que não conseguimos fazer as coisas sozinhos, por muito empenho e dedicação que tenhamos, mas precisamos do Amor dos outros, dos outros para sermos ainda mais fortes no seguimento dos nossos objectivos
