... or is he just making one cohesive album with a unifying theme?
A few words are repeated a number of times in the album. Here are some of the oft-repeated words. (The numbers next to the words are the corresponding song numbers in the album on which they appear. It would be too much of a pain to write the complete song titles):
HEART - 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11
LOVE - 1, 2, 4, 7. 10, 11
BABY - 2, 4, 8, 10
CHILD - 6, 10, 11
BEAUTIFUL - 5, 6 -- plus "Are You Gonna Wait Forever?"
TEACH - 1, 11
CITY - 5, 11
ROMANCE/ROMANTIC - 2, 7
Has Bono's vocabulary gone downhill? It seems like U2 indiscriminately uses the words love and heart more often than your regular balladeer or mushy boyband. What has gone on with U2?
Ironically, the song about one of the people Bono loves the most - his dad - doesn't have either love or heart.
If you ask me, I don't think Bono's songwriting has hit rock bottom. I think he is just tying up this album with a nice unifying theme - heart and love. And if you think about it, those are what you need to dismantle an atomic bomb.
Cheers,
