Upon hearing NLOTH album the first time seven months ago or so, I absolutely LOVED the song NLOTH. Seven months later it is still my favorite song on the album...by far. Why is it not catching on in popularity? Also, Breathe is the worst song on the album...by far. It's awful. And I hated...

This would be a cool concert idea. Still Haven't Found running into a Grace snippet with the SHFWILF guitar riff going in the background the words Grace, she takes the blame She covers the shame Removes the stain It could be her name Grace, it's a name for a girl It's also a thought that...

What are the words? What do they mean? Why is Bono doing it? I've googled around and I think I have the answer to #1 but not even close to #2 or #3.

Is this purposefully related to "Oh you look so beautiful tonight" in COBL? If so, is there a link between the two songs or a link between COBL and NLOTH album? Or is this just a generic lyric with no relation between the two songs?

The traffic cop in rue de Marais is obviously the same the same character in Being Born. Any other insight into this character or the lyrics? Is he also the one dreaming the same dream hatching some scheme (escaping and going AWOL back home to Morocco)? What does "hole in her heart" mean re...

I put this on songmeaning dot net. What do you think? My interpretations of the song: This is a beautiful worship song portraying an intimate experience with God. The song is nonlinear. It is looking back at an event with narration spliced through the event. It's easier to understand by...

I downloaded this, split off the audio, and made files for each song recently. Over the past couple months I've listened to it over 100 times (itunes count). I'm still digging it. I keep discovering new elements I like. City of Blinding Lights -- gotten a little boring but love the energy...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkee9RQPqYE&NR Those of you that are more educated than I am in philosophy, can you help explain this comment? "Does anyone else see the representation of the internal battle waged between a person's Aestetics and Ethics so vividly put forth at the end of this...

I never liked this song much until I heard it live on Vertigo tour. I love how they tease the audience for awhile almost accoustic with just a little guitar until they finally jam in with the drums and guitars. The Vertigo DVD in Chicago is great but Bono does the "got a frog in my throat"...

I've been listening to a live version of Streets, great version by the way. I think it was Boston Elevation Tour. I'd really like to know exactly what Bono is saying at the beginning. He says something like "...blessing poured out to us...this is a toast to our God..." Can someone give me...

I don't get this song. Somebody please help. Up until the end, this is the perfect Christian faith promoting song. Beautiful descriptions of the Holy Ghost, the Son, and the Father. Very sacred. Then you get the twist "But I left by the back door And I threw away the key " What's going...

I don't know if I read it here or somewhere else, but someone was calling out other rock bands compared to U2. They said show me another rock band who can put on a show like they do and still leave off half dozen songs that could go up against anyone else's top stuff. Coldplay was the specific...

I'm not as obsessed and knowledgeable as you all, but I still consider myself a big U2 fan. I saw them live for the first time ever in SLC on Saturday night. The night was just magical. The highlight for me was Sunday Bloody Sunday and the finale of Yahweh and 40. I was really hoping for...

When I first heard Yahweh a year ago, I was deeply touched and wrote this essay. In two days, I’m going to my first U2 concert ever in Salt Lake City. I’m totally stoked about it. My favorite U2 song of all is Bad, and I’ve been watching the setlists to see what the chances are they’ll play...

U2's been my favorite band for a long time, but I'm not much of a concert guy, and this week in Salt Lake City is going to be my first time seeing them live. Looking through their setlists, it looks like they don't play Bad regularly--only by exception not rule. Bad is my favorite song in...

Last night watching CSI NY, a commercial comes on for IPOD video and Bono is rocking out on a song very familiar but I couldn't place it for the life of me. I had to google the lyrics to figure it out. I'm a big U2 fan, but not as obsessed as most of y'all. I've listened to that song a...
