Bono's new 'back material.'

[BVS]

Also, the 'have to suffer to create great art' "myth" that you speak of, well, I find it true. Please don't call things a 'myth' just because they are not true for your process. If you can create TRUE and interesting stuff out of thin air or research, God bless ya. Unfortunately for me, the best work I create comes from real pain. The reason it's my best stuff is because it has an edge, a need, a feeling, an immediacy, and a personal relevance. I've got skin in the game - no bullshit. And because I feel the pain, I can't fucking stop until this pain is removed from my body - which happens through the creation of the art. And because I lived the pain, the work is usually very specific and genuine. Wish it wasn't like this, but it is what it is.

Then all I can say is, be careful. I think this is a tender trap, because some will embrace the pain in order to remain creative. I went down that path and I've seen a lot of artists do the same. They're afraid to be happy because they feel like they may become less interesting.

Best of luck to you

First single:

She's so fine (love her horizon)

I know a nurse who's like the sea
I watch her changing every day for me
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

One day she's still, the next she swells
You can see the universe in her sea shells
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

She's so fine (love her horizon), she's so fine

I know a nurse with a hole
She said my infinity is a great place to start
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

She said "Time is irrelevant, it's not linear"
Then she put her tongue in my ear
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

She's so fine (love her horizon)
she's so fine
She's so fine (love her horizon)
she's so fine

The thoughts in your head are now on my sextape
You put me on pause
I'm trying to rewind and replay

Every night I have the same fling
She's hatching some plot, scheming some scheme
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

She plays a psychiatrist, I play her patient
I'm tied down and she is wailing
I can't get away
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

She's so fine (love her horizon)
she's so fine
She's so fine (love her horizon)
she's so fine

Unfortunately some fans erroneously think it symbolizes that Bono has secretly died.

I predict that whatever the next single is, if you play it backwards, you hear Edge saying "Turn me on, Bono man."

 

[scottyT]

you guys are all horrible.

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, yeah.

 

[BluRmGrl]

you guys are all horrible.

Where are we all going & why are we in this hand basket???

Your genius is undeniable.

 

[purpleoscar]

Oh no, Edge in a nurse outfit!

 

[corianderstem]

He does make a handsome woman.

 

[purpleoscar]

Your genius is undeniable.

It's funny how one idea leads to another.

He does make a handsome woman.

Yeah that One video gave me nightmares. Too much stubble for me.

Yep. I was laughing about that on another thread too.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

What an evil, evil thread.

I gotta admit, though, the ideas DID make me giggle-some of you really should go into the comedy writing business.

Oh no, Edge in a nurse outfit!

SLASH !

I predict that whatever the next single is, if you play it backwards, you hear Edge saying "Turn me on, Bono man."

Now we just have to figure out who will be the walrus.

Angela

 

[corianderstem]

I guess it could still be Paul. Just ... McGuiness and not McCartney.

 

[purpleoscar]

What an evil, evil thread.

Don't worry they have a sense of humor:

YouTube - U2 - Godfather

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

*Blinks*

...what on earth...?

I've never seen that before-where's it from? That was...surreal...

Edge looked like he was trying not to laugh towards the end of it .

I guess it could still be Paul. Just ... McGuiness and not McCartney.

There ya go . Course, Bono's real name is Paul, too, but McGuinness has more of a "walrus" look to him.

Angela

 

[corianderstem]

Course, Bono's real name is Paul, too,

This, of course, would have been the obvious joke. Cori FAIL.

Edge looked like he was trying not to laugh towards the end of it .

I like the youtube comment that said Edge sounded like a "demented goat".

 

[Dr. Lemonseed]

Brace?

Yoweee?

One Pain Pill?

Worse?

I Tripped Over Wires?

A cover of "Get Back To Where you once belonged?"

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

at purpleoscar...yeah, he kinda does, doesn't he?

This, of course, would have been the obvious joke. Cori FAIL.

Aw, hey, your idea was good, too .
