With Or Without You

With or Without You, written by U2, was featured on the The Joshua Tree album, released in 1987. The song contemplates on the conflicts and contradictions within relationships and was inspired by lead singer Bonos personal experiences with the pressures of life on the road. The inner conflict between life as a rock star and commitments to his family and faith are central themes.
