Originally posted by miryclay:It seems arrangements have always plagued that song. Much like its side mate Pride, there are parts that just don't gel 100%. So what we have is a legacy of edits and live versions. U2 songs has 3 studio versions noted.
21st Century U2 just would have released about four or five versions.
Here is the alternate Wembley edit with Edge vocals.

"The first song on The Unforgettable Fire, "A Sort of Homecoming", I know backward and forward—it's so rousing, brilliant and beautiful. It's one of the first songs I played to my unborn baby."
