1. With or Without You U2

2. With or With out You
See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait, without you With or without you With or without you Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I'm waiting for you With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away My hands are tied My body bruised, she's got me with Nothing to win and Nothing left to lose

3. Emotion
This song has a feeling of confusion. He can’t decide what he should do since this girl keeps messing with his heart, yet he can’t let go of her.
I feel like there is a feeling of hopelessness, and despair. Perhaps lost.

4. What is this song about?
This song seems to be talking about a guy that has a torn heart. She causes him a lot of pain and heartache when they are together, yet when she’s gone, he is still miserable. He doesn’t know whether it’s better to be with her or without her.

5. How does the song relate to people?
Love and relationships are not easy. There are those moments when people have to decide what is best for them. Everyone goes through relationships and some are hard to let go of even though it might be for the best.

8. Alliteration “See the Stone set in your eyes”
“See the thorn twist in your side.”

9. How do the musical devices add to the song?
The metaphors help describe the relationship in the song. Sometimes they go through hard times and survive, and other times they are miserable.
The Alliteration helps the song sound good when sung.
