The Ground Beneath Her Feet - U2 one of their most beautiful and underrated tracks. Island (the record label) chose not to release it as a single to avoid confusing the audience with the releases of All that you can't leave behind and the soundtrack of The million dollar hotel. The lyrics are attributed to Salman Rushdie; in fact, they are a collection of verses taken from his eponymous novel. A reinterpretation of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.
