5.0 out of 5 stars U2 AT THEIR VERY BEST, 7 Feb 2005
By Stracs "Stracs" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
U2 have always been a band that produce profound music and Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own is a fantastic example of this. This song is so moving, written about Bono's father who died of cancer during their last tour, and performed at his funeral. Bono's emotions are clear in his performance and at times it moves me to tears. The song is perfectly composed, the lyrics extremely powerful and raw. The song is both gentle rock and powerful at the some time, with a very catchy melody. This is one of U2's very finest songs and should become an all time classic. The B-Side, Fast Cars, is on the album and is a great, catchy almost Spanish style acoustic number with sharp, witty lyrics. To get both songs on one single is a bargain.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another song for the charts and Grammy Awards, 11 Feb 2005
By A Customer
U2 have become a greedy corporation whom don't care about ART. Anyone who would call "Sometimes You Can't Make It" a 'deep song' has absolutely no credibility to judge music... it's probably the most cliché U2 song ever. If you want to listen to a brilliant song related to a father's death, listen to Pink Floyd "When The Tigers Broke Free" instead. Video Clip is even worse and more cliché, with all those silly shots at the Opera theatre.

Incredibly unoriginal and predictable, this is one of the worst U2 songs ever, and one of the most overhyped as well. The world needs this drivel like it needs a hole in the head. Moreover, it's absolutely irritating to listen to Bono straining his thin voice to hit the high notes.

I don't recommend this sellout U2 to anyone. PLEASE U2 stop embarassing yourselves !!!!.
