Track Description
Available in:
"Walk On" is the second single in Canada, and the fourth single in the rest of the world, from U2's 2000 album, All That You Can't Leave Behind. The song was written about Aung San Suu Kyi. It won the "Grammy Award for Record of the Year" in 2002, marking the first time an artist had won the award for songs from the same album in consecutive years.
The song was written about and dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi. It was written in the form of a supporting, uplifting anthem, praising her for her activism and fighting for freedom in Burma. She was intermittently under house arrest from 1989 to 2010 because of her efforts. Because of the political nature of the song, anyone who attempted to import the album, All That You Can't Leave Behind, to Burma could face a prison sentence lasting between three and twenty years.
The title of All That You Can't Leave Behind was derived from the lyrics of this song: The only baggage you can bring is all that you can't leave behind. "Walk On" originally consisted of two different songs which, according to Adam Clayton, had great riffs but sounded terrible separately. The group combined them, and ended up with one of their most critically praised songs.
