Yes, our dream is over now and I just realised that. After 8 long years, they came back to this side of the world and played 8 amazing, unforgettable concerts, full of joy and excitement and love and peace. It was a communal experience, shared by thousands of fans, also by the band. We, U2 fans...

I?ve listened to that performance a lot lately and it has become my fave. I know they re-work live performances in order to make it better and better, but concerning Mofo the best way they played it is still the first one for me. Not that I don?t like the more "polished" version of their last...

So Cruel is my 2nd alltime fave U2 song. I tend to collect anything I can find about this marvellous song. One of the things I stored was this piece written by Bill Graham. I think it?s really good and, although I would love to see it played live, I must agree with him. They won?t play it...

I only recently got this beautiful cover of Drowning Man, I know it?s not new stuff, but I haven?t listened to it before. I have been really into it, listening to this cover several times a day. I remember that the author of this cover used to post here a year back or so, if he/she?s still...

This is for an english school project. I?m taking a pos-advanced course this year and the teacher requested us to do this task. We?re supposed to bring a song and its lyrics to be studied. First we?ll have a listening activity when the students must fill in the blanks with the suppressed words...
