White As Snow*

This is the most amazing song. Only U2 could write a song about a Muslim dying of a gunshot wound and looking for 'the lamb as white as snow' and actually get away with it. People will be going around singing it without realizing what they are saying. My favorite element of the song is the melody. They use the main theme from O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, but they never get to "Rejoice! Rejoice!" because there is nothing for the Muslim to rejoice about.
