RUNNING TO STAND STILL (by U2: The Joshua Tree)

SUMMARY:                  RUNNING TIME: 4:18 Min.

It’s the fifth track off U2’s seminal 1987 album, The Joshua Tree.

REVIEW:

The intriguing title alone suggests that listeners should give it a chance.  Yet, that’s really how much this track deserves.  As a moody, low-key ballad, “Running to Stand Still” is essentially a generic sampling of U2’s sound.  In that sense, the song is filler for The Joshua Tree album.
