Just thought I'd open up a topic for this nice little song. I just heard it for the first time today and it's a lovely little piece. For those wishing to take a listen, it's from the 1991 sessions of Achtung Baby and its on the B-Sides and Bonus Tracks disc of the 20th anniversary. I find it to be a relaxing instrumental and a really surprising gem hidden away in the Achtung Baby collection.
It's beautiful but nothing to write home about. I get the feeling it was probably one of Edge's demos that didn't get the band approval or interest to develop a proper song, but still they felt was interesting enough to include in the 20th anniversary reissue. I wouldn't be surprised if everything we hear in the song is actually Edge himself.

The melody of the first bars is similar to the vocal line in Smile... Is that what you're thinking of?
