Freedom is our Life

Freedom is our Life.A short intro to a new song by me. ^_^

 

U2 or not to U2.

When love comes to Town

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

I was a sailor, I was lost in sea 

I was under the waves, before love rescued me 

I was a fighter I could turn on a threat 

Now I stand accused of the things I've said. 

When love comes to town, 

I'm gonna jump that train 

When love comes to town, 

I'm gonna catch that flame. 

Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down, 

But I did what I did before love came to town. 

Used to make love under a red sunset, 

I was making promises I was soon to forget. 

She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown, 

But I left her standing before love came to town. 

Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream, 

The notes were turning blue when I fell into a dream

As the music played I saw my life turn around 

That was the day before love came to town. 

Love comes to town, 

I'm gonna jump that train 

When love comes to town, 

I'm gonna catch that flame. 

Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down, 

But I did what I did before love came to town. 

I was there when they crucified my lord 

I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword 

I threw the dice when they pierced his side, 

But I've seen love conquer the great divide. 

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...

An immense song for such a young upcoming band that were Bono/ U2. The words are so over powering and deep that BB king himself was happy to play along with U2 at the tender age of 62 years. The magician of plucking, stroking and basically making love to his strings was inspired by said song so he created a unique set of rifts to enrich the already accomplished song even more so.

To this day "When Love Comes To Town" is one of the all time greats and will remain to be so until the end of days!




As an Irish lad growing up in Dublin it was hard not to like the Greatest Irish Rock band of all time.You'd walk down the street seeing other kids wearing Bono's ridiculous hair do's and one such person was my neighbour Fitzgerald.He was and still is a U2 nut and with great reason.U2 opened the doorway to reason and heart as they sang songs charged with political tension and focused their words on the suffering going on around them.

The original 3rd album art work.

 Another Electrically Charged song was Sunday Bloody Sunday.Being from Ireland it is easy to remember that horrible sad day in Irish history (Northern).This song could have easily been mistaken as a rebel song if it were not for Bono's theatrics before singing the song.He would state it as not being a rebel song all the while wrapping himself up in a white flag to symbolize peace.

Sunday Bloody Sunday Lyric's

Yes

I can't believe the news today

Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away

How long, how long must we sing this song?

How long? How long?

'Cause tonight we can be as one, tonight

Broken bottles under children's feet

Bodies strewn across the dead end streets

But I won't heed the battle call

It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And the battle's just begun

There's many lost but tell me who has won

The trench is dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

How long, how long must we sing this song?

How long? How long?

'Cause tonight we can be as one

Tonight, tonight

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Wipe your tears away

Oh, wipe your tears away

Oh, wipe your tears away

Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And it's true we are immune when fact is fiction and TV reality

And today the millions cry

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

The real battle just begun to claim the victory Jesus won on

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Sunday Bloody Sunday

The marching drum beat and majestic voice of Bono brought fort a feeling of togetherness that was lacking during the troublesome times in Ireland.It was an emotionally charged bomb that never seemed to explode on U2.It was a very risky and yet dangerous move to address the political troubles of the times but U2 did so triumphantly.
