The Fly
It's generally accepted -- mainly because of his own professions -- that Bono is a Christian believer. The canon of U2's lyrics support that perspective as well. U2's most recent album ATYCLB was infused with spiritual and Biblical themes and references, and the Elevation tour was a powerful experience. Bono was quoting the Psalms, singing Hallelujah, and thanking the Almighty God. Bono spoke towards the end of the tour about carrying the momentum of the tour into the studio, and some of the song titles being tossed around for the new release are ones we've been hearing about since shortly after the Elevation tour ended. A recent rumour has a song title "Jahweh" as a contender for the new album.
I am looking forward to seeing the spiritual perspective of the new album. Bono has been through a lot, with the death of his father and his work for the suffering people of Africa. I think that both of these affected (in a positive way) the faith he has long held, and that the new album will reflect that.
What are your thoughts, predictions, or hopes for the spirituality of the next U2 album?
