Originally posted by Cgmorgan1986:What if Bono wrote 13(there is a light) because that was the age he was before his mom died when he was 14. I’m sure he wrote it for his kids, but I think without knowing, he wrote it to his younger self maybe? Just listening to the lyrics I had that thought. I could be wrong.

That’s pretty neat. I’m pretty sure it’s just 13 because it’s track 13 BUT I’ve always figured it had some significance. The unlucky 13 always appealed to me but that’s a pretty cool take too

I think I and others probably mentioned this a while back, but I'd add that for me the Psalm 13 connection still works. Maybe not as verbatim or obvious as "40" for Psalm 40, but I like it.

They play it with a purpose and an energy that they miss in a lot of their other songs and it'd be nice to see them start on that intensity again and carry it through for the rest of the show. I'm sure they aren't too old yet

They played it fairly early in the set during the IE tour, usually at #3 but sometimes as early as #2. It was like an adrenaline shot. I think I've never sweated as much as during Amsterdam4. Having The Miracle (terrible opener but definitely one you could jump to), then Out Of Control, then Vertigo and then I Will Follow, all seguing into each other non stop... Most energetic show opening I've ever seen.

ie shows definitely had a super energetic start. miracle -> out of control / electric co -> vertigo -> i will follow, they really set the tone for the show and hyped up both die hards & casual fans. And in my opinion Vertigo sounded great in 2015 (didn't enjoy it in 2018) & Bono's singing in these Boy songs was terrific.
