Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realised.
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain down on he.
So let it be.
So let it be.

Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realised.
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain
Rain down on he.

My new favourite U2 song. Unreleased for now.

All of the reasons I love this band are contained within this song.

Mercy

was drinking some wine… and it turned to blood
What’s the use of religion… if you’re any good
I know i’m weedkiller honey… and you’re sugar
If you’re the prosecution… i get away with murder
If you were ice… i’m water
And with your telescope… i can see further
We’re binary code… a one and a zero
You wanted violins… and you got nero
You’re gravity… searching for the ground
You’re silence… searching for a sound
Your heart is aching… your heart is my home
It’s fascinating… i know i’ll never be alone
When I was ripping the stitches
Without two cents to rub
I’m digging the ditches
Of someone else’s luck
Love is when i lie
Love puts the blue back in my eye
Love will come again
I’ll be gone again… again

If you’re hunger… baby let me feed it
If your heart is full… baby let me bleed it
And happiness is for… those who don’t really need it
You love me… too much
You always loved me… too much

When I was ripping the stitches
Without two cents to rub
I’m digging the ditches
Of someone else’s luck

Love is when i lie
Love puts the blue back in my eye
Love has come again
I am gone again
Love’s got to be with the weak
Only then love gets a chance to speak
Love will come again
I’ll be gone again… again

I… i can’t escape myself
I hear you talk
Feeling nothing
I fear nothing
Feel….
I can hear so much
Fear nothing
I feel so much
Fear… nothing

Love has come again
I am gone again
Love is the end of history
The enemy of misery
Love has come again
I am gone again
Love is justice, not charity
Love brings with it a clarity
Love has come again
I’m alive again
Alive…
I am alive, baby I’m born again and again
And again, and again and again and again
Again

There’s also a fascinating tour through all 13 albums.

Definitely worth a look.

How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb

After the success of Behind, U2 make their most guitar-oriented album in decades. No longer worried about tempering their earth-stopping hooks with their experimental tendencies, this is grandiose music from grandiose men, sweatlessly confident in the execution of their duties.

You might say, oh, I don’t know, that I’m a fan.

Hope the 2 of you who read this blog have enjoyed my chronicle of what was undoubtedly a top 10 day in my 36 years.
