abstract
  • %22I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For%22 is a song by the Irish rock band U2. It is the second track from their 1987 album The Joshua Tree and was released as the album's second single in May 1987. The song was a hit, becoming the band's second consecutive number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100 while peaking at number six on the UK Singles Chart.The song originated from a demo the band recorded on which drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. played a unique rhythm pattern. Like much of The Joshua Tree, the song was inspired by the group's interest in American music. %22I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For%22 exhibits influences from gospel music and its lyrics describe spiritual yearning. Lead singer Bono's vocals are in high register and lead guitarist The Edge plays a chiming arpeggio.

It has subsequently become one of the group's most well-known songs and has been performed on many of their concert tours. The track has appeared on several of their compilations and concert films. Many critics and publications have ranked %22I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For%22 among the greatest tracks in music history including Rolling Stone magazine which ranked the song at #93 of its list of %22The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time%22.
