All I can find on it is this:

"Smile" – 3:17

* From How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb sessions
* Later released as a UK bonus track on iTunes Store pre-orders of U218 Singles.

smile is a classic u2 song and fits perfectly in my opinion to HTDAAB and maybe even more to ATYCLB.

No, it's not about me...it might be about Ali Hewson tho ( )..., but Bono said in U2ByU2 that he doesn't want to make songs about her, or other people, as it's a cruel thing to do, it takes away the mystery about that person or something like that (he says it when talking about When I Look At The World...I think)


I need that book....
