4th Of July - Remastered 2009

This instrumental track has nothing to do with American Independence Day. "We called it '4th Of July' to commemorate the birth of my daughter, Hollie, Bono's godchild, who was born on that date, right in the middle of making the album," The Edge notes in the book U2 by U2. "Being at the birth was such a monumental and profound experience: seeing a new life, your own flesh and blood, entering the world. It was miraculous and terrifying all at the same time."

Producer Brian Eno recorded bass player Adam Clayton and guitarist The Edge playing during a break without them knowing it, which became the basic track for this song.
