U2 pared "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" down to an acoustic take for 7, an EP that arrived in January 2002, a year after the album version went out as the second single from All That You Can't Leave Behind. Martin Böhm recorded this one and Steve Lillywhite mixed it; the writing credit stays the same, music by all four and words by Bono and the Edge.
Acoustic or not, it's a heavy song at heart: Bono has said it grew out of a conversation he imagined having with his friend Michael Hutchence about suicide. It won the Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 2002, and the original single went to number one in Canada, Ireland and Italy.
