Bono's voice a comforting familiarity

[Streets613]

I've heard Bono's voice basically every day since I was 9. Which means that other than my parents and my brother, I've probably heard his voice more than anyone else's. It's like a friend that i've never actually met. It's weird.

Is that why you hate covers so much?

I feel the same way about Ryan Seacrest's voice.

I love how Bono talks, I love how he talks in the PoPMart docs.

I feel the same way about Ryan Seacrest's voice.

I feel the same way about Tom Waits' voice/my ice maker.

Whenever I feel crappy, I just listen to U2 and they comfort me. Music in general makes me forget about the troubles in life.

Hearing Bono's voice is indeed comforting. It's like you're not alone, like another person's there with you. It's strangely familiar, and very intimate and comforting, especially in the dark at night and on headphones. I must say I also love his speaking voice

I like the sound of Bono's voice, even when he is speaking.

I remember reading a review of the Joshua Tree right after it was released. The reviewer talked about the fact that U2 had been around so long that Bono's voice was a lot like a mother's voice: at once comforting and annoying in its familiarity.

Yeah, I feel exactly the same way. It's like coming home ... (but don't tell your friends this ... they'll go (what's REALLY wrong with her?!)

So just keep it in this forum ... like a bunch of other stuff ....

Good advise... It can be our little secret. Bono does have a "calming voice."
