"Yahweh" is a song by U2, off of their album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. It is track 11 on the disc. It became somewhat of a concert staple on the Vertigo Tour, and was usually played during one of the encores. Sometimes it would be one of the first songs of one of the encores, with just Bono and The Edge getting up on stage to play an acoustic version of the song. The title "Yahweh" is a reference to a Hebrew name for God.
Yahweh is a U2 fan favourite, despite having been released only 2 years ago. It features relatively upbeat lyrics and a pleasant rhythm, as well as heart-warming lyrics. During the How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb sessions, an alternative version of Yahweh was recorded, featuring additional choruses and a much more drum-orientated beat. This version is available on the iTunes' exclusive box set, The Complete U2.
