October Lyrics

October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care

October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on and on

October Song Chart

This was the title track of the album which was named after the month it was released. Bono had the title in mind before writing the lyrics.

The lyrics reflect the Christian beliefs Bono, The Edge, and Larry Mullen as they were struggling as members of a devoutly religious group. They considered breaking up the band as they felt it may conflict with their faith.

The Edge played the piano part.

This was used on the soundtrack to the movie They Call It An Accident.

This was included as a hidden track on U2 greatest hits album The Best Of 1980-1990. It comes on about a minute after "All I Want Is You" on track 14.
