Mysterious Ways Single by U2 Music video: versione 31 gennaio Pioggiasporca2010 from the album Achtung Baby 1991 Genre Alternative rock, funk rock, alternative dance Label Island Producer Daniel Lanois with Brian Eno From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Mysterious Ways" is a song by Irish rock band U2 and the eighth track from their 1991 album Achtung Baby. It was released as the album's second single on 25 November 1991. The song began as a improvisation, with the band only liking the bass part that bassist Adam Clayton composed. The band struggled to build a song from it, with vocalist Bono and producer Daniel Lanois arguing intensely during one songwriting session. Progress was made after guitarist The Edge introduced a new effects pedal to his guitar playing in the song. "Mysterious Ways" features a danceable beat, funky guitar hook, and conga-laden percussion, as well as mystical lyrics about romance and women. The song received praise from critics after the release of Achtung Baby, which many calling it one of the album's standout tracks. The song was also successful as a single on the music charts. It reached #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts, and it peaked at #9 on the Hot 100 chart, the fourth-best mark for a U2 single on the chart.
