Don't think I've ever heard this connection made before, so figured I'd post it. In "City of Blinding Lights," Bono sings, "I've seen you walk unafraid," and "Walk Unafraid" is the title of a song by R.E.M. Cool
Bono is a prophet.

You may have a good point with this because both bands are v good friends, I also believe R.E.M's song "Hope" from there 1998 album "Up"`[the same album that features Walk Unafraid] was a major influence on U2's song "Levitate" from the ATYCLB sesions in 2000,
There two amazing songwriters who Im have influenced each other many times!
REM is such a phenomenal band! On some days I like them more than U2.
You ever notice that REM has a bassist and U2 have one as well?
U2 like doing this. WGRYWH and Exit both name-check Drive. And they came out BEFORE Drive! Bono is a prophet.
hell they wrote coldplays "yellow" before coldplay did, except we know it as yellow.
There was also a brief Rolling Stone interview with Stipe where he said Bono had helped him in some way write Walk Unafraid. Something about getting over writer's block, Bono giving him an idea that led to him writing it. Its been a while, I don't remember it exactly.
