Any u2 songs taken a new meaning to you in these dark times ?

[Magnus Maximus]

If God would send his angels


Where is the faith and the love?
What's that you say to me
Does love light up your Christmas tree?
The next minute you're blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news
If God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
Well if God will send his angels
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Jesus never let me down
You know Jesus used to show me the score
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it's hard to get in the door

 

[Magnus Maximus]

I cant go to church because the are all closed, it's hard to get in the door. All there is news everything is preempted (cartoon network turns into news) it's making our kids grow up fast and stealing part of their childhood. Oh and speaking of church, I not being able to receive communion: Acrobat-


Yeah I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in
'Cause I need it now

Does love light up your Christmas tree?
The next minute you're blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news
If God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
Well if God will send his angels
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Jesus never let me down
You know Jesus used to show me the score
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it's hard to get in the door

This also speaks to me. I can relate to every line.

Is there a time for keeping your distance?
A time to turn your eyes away?
Is there a time for keeping your head down?
For getting on with your day?

Is there a time for Kohl and lipstick?
A time for cutting hair?
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear?

 

[dazzledbylight]

the only one that's popped into my head just a phrase, really - from "Walk On"

..."stay safe tonight"...

Indeed! Good luck, peeps!

To find the right dress to wear?

Oh hey, the first new U2-related thread in about a year. Only took a rampaging global pandemic.

Until the End of the World for sure

That was pretty good

 

[MissCandyGirl]

You can chew bubblegum
But you can't swallow it
You can bag it or grab it
But you can't have it
You can't hold it
Can't control it
Like you're a bag lady
High on drugs

OK: this isn't the best take on Discotheque but it's a try!!! LOL.

High on drugs

Someone should make a concept album out of this.

Don't Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me or you'll Kill Me

HAHAHHAHA

That's awesome

I know this is for U2 songs. But for non-U2, I may have found the winner.

The Postal Service

"We Will Become Silhouettes"

I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water,
And pictures of you and I'm not coming out until this is all over
And I'm looking through the glass where the light bends at the cracks

And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs pretending
The echoes belong to someone, someone I used to know

And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go

I wanted to walk through the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet,
But all the news reports recommended that I stay indoors

Because the air outside will make our cells
divide at an alarming rate until our shells
Simply cannot hold all our insides in,
And that's when we'll explode
(and it won't be a pretty sight)

And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go

 

[wolbersu2]

Miracle drug!!!!
