It's a very, very mad world.
If you could dedicate a song to your favorite band member, what which song would you choose.

For me Bono boy it would be Enchantment by Corinne Bailey Rae.

"Enchantment"

I wait for you.
I don't know why.
All i know is i can't hide.
At this temperature you could take over my mind.
Like gossamer, you softly touch.
He draws me in, i'm powerless.
He possesses an enchantment.

Tell me i'm forgiven.
He calls, don't know how i fell under his spell.
Lately i've been driven. he smiles, an enchantment.

I wait for you.
I'm mesmerized this love is like a potion in disguise.
I'd tightrope walk with a blindfold on my eyes.
I can't escape, or so it seems.
I'd run away, he's in my dreams.
He possesses an enchantment.

Tell me i'm forgiven.
He calls, don't know how i fell under his spell.
Lately i've been driven.
He smiles, an enchantment.

It's the kind of sleepwalk that never ends.
A type of loan with no dividends.
It's a parlour game where you're given chase.
Guess it could be called an acquired taste.
I know, he knows, he calls, i go, i know.
This could be an enchantment.

Why don't you tell me i'm forgiven?
He calls, don't you know how i fell under his spell.
I'm forgiven...lately i've been driven.
He smiles and i give in,
An enchantment.
 
Wow, great thread idea! Off the top of my head, I'd say Alphaville's "Forever Young" for Bono

Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait were only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The musics for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders were getting in tune

The musics played by the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat

Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young

Its so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
and ever




Another would be Lokua Kanza's "Never Lose Your Soul". It's mostly not in English. Listen Here


Those are two of my all-time faves, pretty fitting for Bono.

My song for Adam or Bono would be all my favorite songs by The Cure.
"just like heaven" and "pictures of you"( Adam and Bono) Friday, I'm in love (Bono) "The love song" (Adam). Not sure why but when I am looking at pics here, those songs immediately pop in my head.
 
I think that would dedicate to Bono: Never tears apart-INXS

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart
