“I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” began during a jam session in which Larry Mullen Jr. came up with an unusually loose, rolling rhythm pattern. From that early demo at one stage titled “The Weather Girls” or “Under the Weather” the song gradually took shape, with The Edge helping build the chord progression and Bono writing lyrics inspired by American gospel music. Released as the second single from The Joshua Tree after “With or Without You,” it became U2’s second consecutive #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, spending two weeks at the top in August 1987. The song later gained one of its most celebrated live versions in the film Rattle and Hum, where U2 performed it with the New Voices of Freedom gospel choir.
