I love this one. Although I find that Bono's voice is slightly too much "ahead in the mix" compared with Pavarotti's, as it is with his other great duet with Sinatra.
And I like the fact they mention East 17 in the lyrics. Whether it comes from a superiority complex or kindness, I don't know. Surely both.

Well it's a song about living in war time and enjoying "normal life" in spite of the bombs going off, in spite of dodging bullets and in spite of someone who used to be your neighbor is now trying to kill your father.
So yeah, totally fits that they are asking, is there a time for boy bands or beauty pageants anymore?
Anyway, it is a fantastic song.
Interesting point about Bono in the mix. Opera often is not recorded directly in the mic (you see when singers belt they often move the mic away), but then you bring up Sinatra. I have heard Bono doesn't do double-tracking vocals at all... maybe that plays a role, dunno?
