I just wondered if anyone else on this forum have a similar experience with U2.
I am now 18 years old and am a U2 fanatic. About 8 years ago I started listening to U2. I was told that based on my music taste I might like a song called "Mysterious ways." It blew me away when I heard it and it simply crawled under my skin. I started listening to achtung baby and the sounds just pushed my soul out of my body . I started listening to that record non-stop. and when I went on a vacation with my family to Whistler, Canada, I continued to play that record over and over and over again. I looked out the window at the beautiful mountain scenery and breathed in the fresh mountain air while playing AB. It was a great vacation...
anyways, now everytime I listen to achtung baby again, I am literally transported back to whistler canada, to the point where the album has seeped up into my memory and triggers that vacation in my mind...to the point where I even smell the air when I listen to this album and see the beauty of the mountains around me (even though I am in Miami). I almost feel like I am on drugs when listening to that album because I am so detached from whatever goes on around me. I hardly listen to AB anymore because it is almost too "holy" and I dont want to ruin the memories that are associated with it and re-write it with something else
i believe that even when I am 30 years older I will still be transported back to that region of the world through the sounds of U2 alone. In this way, I feel like I have an incredible bond with the band and the spirit that joins me to the music and to the beautiful scenery of the mountains. As a ritual, whenever I go back to Whistler, Canada- I listen to Achtung baby and it is pure nirvana.
Does anyone else have any sort of experience like this? I hope I dont sound crazy
