Heartland

[U2Kitten]

Heartland

See the sun rise over her skin
Don't change it

See the sun rise over her skin
Dawn changes everything

Everything

\

And the delta sun
Burns bright and violet

 

[U2Kitten]

Mississippi and the cotton wool heat

]Sixty-six a highway speaks

Of deserts dry

Of cool green valleys

Gold and silver veins
Of the shining cities

In this heartland
In this heartland soil

In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heartland

 

[U2Kitten]

See the sun rise over her skin
She feels like water in my hand

]Freeway like a river cuts through this land

Into the side of love
Like a burning spear

And the poison rain
Brings a flood of fear
Through the ghost-ranch hills

Death valley waters

 

[U2Kitten]

In the towers of steel

Belief goes on and on

In this heartland
In this heartland soil
In this heartland

Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heaven knows this is a heartland

Heartland...heartland
Heartland...heaven's day here in the heartland
Heart...

'Tis a great song to listen to while driving through Iowa, as I've discovered.

Yay for U2 writing a song that pays homage to the heartland of America! .

Wow. That's beautiful.

Heartland is a song that has accompanied me on many journeys through the middle of America. We've seen many sunsets and rivers and cities together. That song is such a gift. Thanks for putting all this together and capturing the essence of the song.

It's a VERY good song for driving. Beautiful song in general!!

Dawn changes everything
Everything

Thanks

It really captures that feeling of driving across the Heartland of America and it has a special feeling every time I hear it. All the images and memories come to mind. It sounds so beautiful it looks beautiful.

Wonderful job, U2Kitten! Beautiful pics!

I love the Heartland bit in R & H. The guys sitting on the hillside, the Edge sliding down, great shots of him gazing at the river. Just lovely.

Maybe it's just b/c I'm from the Mississippi Delta but I think Heartland is one of my favorite U2 song's EVER.

 

[U2girl]

One of their most beautiful hidden gems

Heartland is a beautiful, haunting song and I just love it. That was a fantastic idea, U2Kitten, to do the pics to match! Now I will have to plan a trip across the Heartland ... very mysterious
