U2 - With a Shout
Thursday, July 31st, 2008This song is from U2’s October, released 27 years ago and recently rereleased in a remastered double-album treasure. Their second album is a true hidden gem & a personal favourite.
Oh, and where do we go
Where do we go from here
Where to go
To the side of a hill
Blood was spilt
We were still looking
At each other
Oh, we’re goin’ back there
Jerusalem Jerusalem
Shout, shout
With a shout, shout it out
Shout…shout it out…
I wanna go
To the foot of the messiah
To the foot of he who made me see
To the side of a hill
Where we were still
We were filled
With our love
We’re gonna be there again
Jerusalem Jerusalem
Shout, shout
With a shout
Shout…
With a shout
Quote of the Day
Thursday, July 31st, 2008It may be possible for each of us to think too much of his own potential glory hereafter; it is hardly possible for him to think too often or too deeply about that of his neighbour. The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour’s glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship –or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.
… C. S. Lewis, “The Weight of Glory”

I think I know what he’s saying here, but it almost doesn’t matter.
Such writing!
What say you?
