Iris (Hold Me Close)
This song has a special meaning for Bono and also for me. My mum is also called Iris and like Bono's mum she also suffered a brain haemorrhage. Luckily for us she survived it but she is now terminally ill with another illness. When I read the song name I had a lump in my throat and couldn't wait to hear it. Just happens to be my favourite song on the album as well.
