I apologize if this isn't the right forum or if there's already a similar thread.
U2 has meant so much to me in the 5 years I have been a fan. Obviously, their music has affected me a lot. It opened my eyes to different genres of music. Also, it has helped get me through some of the hardest moments of my life. From medical issues to dealing with a family member's drug addiction to
financial issues, their music has helped me through it. Seeing them in concert in 2005 and almost 2 weeks ago helped me get through rough patches I was dealing with.
U2 has influenced my spiritual beliefs. Religion had turned me off to the idea of God and spirituality. U2's lyrics showed me that you don't need to be a Christian or a Jew to believe in a higher power. To quote Bono, "Religion often gets in the way of God." And I understand people have different spiritual and religious beliefs, so I don't expect everyone to feel how I do.
Most importantly, I have made some amazing friends here thanks to U2. If I hadn't heard Pride on the radio one summer day in 2004 and decided to explore their music more, I would not have these people in my life. I feel lucky and honored to call them friends and I have U2 to thank for that.
So, what has U2 meant to you? How have they influenced/changed your life?
