U2, Gabriel, Simon & Others Prep For Golden Globe Awards
(1/17/03, 6 p.m. ET) -- U2, Peter Gabriel, and Paul Simon are among the musical nominees preparing for the Golden Globe Awards, which will be presented Sunday (January 19) in Los Angeles. Gabriel's soundtrack for the Australian film Rabbit-Proof Fence is nominated for best original score, while the best original song category nominees include U2 for "The Hands That Built America" (from Gangs Of New York); Simon for "Father And Daughter" (from The Wild Thornberrys Movie); Eminem for "Lose Yourself" (from 8 Mile); Madonna for the title song from the James Bond film Die Another Day; and Bryan Adams--along with co-writers Hans Zimmer and Gretchen Peters--for "Here I Am" (from Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron).
U2 guitarist the Edge says that while "The Hands That Built America" was written specifically for Gangs Of New York (it's also featured on The Best Of 1990-2000), the group hopes it will connect on other levels for those who hear it. "We do write our songs as an attempt to connect and communicate," Edge said. "But I think they become part of the listener's life in a way that maybe has nothing whatsoever to do with the original intention of Bono as lyricist or the rest of us as writers of the music. The songs take on a whole new meaning after a while."
The 60th Annual Golden Globe Awards, presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, will air at 8 p.m. ET Sunday on NBC. Elton John will be among the presenters.
