Things of Infinite Importance on Fast Cars

Did you think the lyrics to "Fast Cars" were a typical extra-bonus-track piece of fun fluff set in some kind of Moroccan bazaar and tacked onto the end of HTDAAB to pacify two nations who suffer from high CD prices? You'll think again when you read the song being used in this meditation on grief from Things of Infinite Importance. While I'm not convinced these U2 lyrics are about loss, it works great in this context.
