Thanks, guys, for the kind words
. I'm glad others understand what I mean with that.
Sometimes it does feel like it's not me stepping in on Bono's thoughts when I listen to their music, but it's the other way around. Bono speaks our mind, yells it, paints it in bright colours for the world to see
At the very least, if you're alone, you know that he understands.
Exactly. It's just nice to be heard sometimes. And when you know that someone like Bono, or any other notable person, has gone through the same issues and struggles you, an everyday, non-famous person, go through, it's kinda refreshing. It's like a bonding experience, or something.
"Stuck In A Moment"-ah, I have a story with that song, too. It was out the year I was crushing hard on a guy at school, and some of the lyrics kinda helped me during that time
. Cheesy, yes, but ah, well. I've no doubt Bono's taken some lyrical inspiration from responses from fans over the years, the letters he's read from fans who've sent them, the fans he's talked to, seeing the emotion on people's faces during certain songs at shows...that's got to spill over into the lyrics at some point.
And I love that music can connect people from all over the world in that way. Like, I can disagree with someone on everything else in the world, they can live in a totally different area than I do and don't talk like me or act like me or whatever. But we can both listen to the same song and both get the same feelings from it because we've both experienced what the song's talking about or the emotion hits us the same way or we both admire the lyrics or the tune or whatever. I just find that amazing. I think that's awesome that music has that kind of power.
Thank you! It was so nice to read all those words from you! I love this forum!

I have to say it: you've surprised me. I haven't expect so much words full of care and support! I posted and didn't expect that you will write so much about dealing with life. It's plenty of good karma, I think?
Wishing all of you all the best and THANK YOU once again.
That's what we're here for. I've been here 8 years and this place has been very helpful and full of kind people who are willing to share and talk about this sort of stuff, and be there for each other. Good karma can never be in short supply, always worth passing more of that around
. I'm happy our words have helped you and made you happy. You're quite welcome, and I wish you and everyone else here all the best in return

I do have a last.fm account, have to remember to get in there more often. Mine is Angnic, next time I'm in there I'll add you and anyone else who has one and shares it here. I'm also on Facebook if anyone wants to talk there, too.
For all its problems it can bring, the internet also really can have some good moments, too-this is one of those.
