Hey ishkash.At the time of writing this,I am listening to Lemon live in Sydney,ZOO TV.
What do you use to back up your MP3's?Writable CD?Do you have a CD writer?How many MP3's do you have?What are your favourite live ones?Mine is WOWY live from Washington DC ZOO TV.After the normal studio version is over,they extend it.The chords played by the Edge are like arrows through your heart,searing.And then Bono sings 'We shine like stars in the summer night....',the emotion in his voice is unbelievable.
OK I would like to discuss some of the songs we were talking about.Here we go.
The Unforgettable Fire
ure mood.The most moody,atmospheric song they've done,like all the songs on TUF are.Also very dark.This song just messes up my head,takes me to another time,another place(no pun intended).The climax with the violin and the bass is so powerful and dark.And all the instuments are played fuckingly brilliantly.That tinge on the Edges guitar in this song...so thick and awesome,man.The visual imagery in this song is superb.Mountains,seas,cities,lights,spinning wheels.Just a dark,surreal,abstract painting.
Lemon:Sad despair.I just feel like I'm swimming out into nothing when I listen to Lemon.All the songs on the Zooropa record have strong philosophical implications.You could base a religion on this album called Zooropaism,man. 'Midnight....is when the day begins'.It makes me question the validity of todays society.And its so emotional.Sad,sad,sad.He sings 'And I feel....like I'm drifting,driftnig,drifting from the shore..',and then he breaks down,he cant take it ny more,and sings that beautiful falsetto,with the piano and the voices in the background.I just feel like going away inside the song and living there to ,to look for her.'She's a dreamer,she's imagination'.Its so ambigous,so multi-interpretive.I know its about Bonos mother,but it can mean something different to anybody who listens to it.Its about wanting something that you need so badly,and looking for it,and how you feel without it,and how you feel how fucked up this world is.
MoFo:I didnt listen to this song that much until you mentioned that it was one of your favourites.Now its one of my favourite,thanks,man.Its like an extension of Lemon I feel,only more messed up and much darker.So hard and raw,touches the core of your emotion,but because of the way its performed,and the style(electronica and rock),it prevents any sort of softness from getting in.I dont know what I actually meant by this.It also shows the shallowness of people(looking for to savemy,save my soul,looking for to fill that God shaped hole).
With or Without You:I cant speak about this song.I tried to before on this forum,and found I could not.This song is what I am.It encompasses written language or words,theres no way to express what I feel for it.Just pure emotion.
Right now I've only written about these,because I am listening to these songs right now.I want to give some deeper thought to the other ones,and write about them when I feel I can express what I want to about them.
About admissions,well,counselling has yet to start.I'm in no hurry
.All I care about is the new album!!
BTW I cant believe that you've seen Wings of Desire!!!I want to see that one SO BADLY!!!!!How and when did you see that?How did you find it?
You article about the songs was so SEXY!!!!!!I'm going to print it.Because it mirrors my own thoughts in so many ways.
ACHTUNG BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
