I've been away over the weekend, and as the easter weekend wore on, I started to get a bit more depressed. By Sunday night I was really down in the dumps. Then I got a phone call from a girl, and we got to talking. Sadly my phone cut out, cos of the bad reception, and her number was on private. Too stupid to ask for her name as well. So that all went down the drain, and by now I was feeling pretty damn shithouse. I drowned my sorrows a bit, then went to bed when I was less wound up.
The next day I was still pretty shit, so I got my iPod. Stay came into my head, so I put Stay on.
And it helped bring me out of my funk. And this is why U2 is the #1 band for me. As much as I love The Who, David Bowie, Pink Floyd and a few other bands and artists, none of them have this certain 'thing' that U2's music has. People put shit on U2, saying the music is boring, and nothing special at all, and put shit on me for liking them. Sometimes I can see their points. But no other music I've heard has this undefinable quality U2's music does. U2 has a song for every occasion, every feeling.
But enough now of the girly outpourings and back to Stay (Faraway, So Close!). Feeling shithouse was how I 'discovered' Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out of. When I say 'discovered' I mean that in the past I've thought the song was good, even great, but nothing beyond that. That's how I felt about Stay. I didn't see what everyone else thought was so brilliant about it. But now you can add Stay to the short list. The vocals are terrific, and it also has a great bass line.
So what song(s) do this for you? Or am I just talking a whole load of absolute shit? Discuss.
Also, go do yourselves a favour and listen to Under a Blood Red Sky. It has some fantastic performances.
