I have been searching and searching for my favorite band’s video – finally my search came to an end at my favorite Walmart store close by. You know whom I’m talking about? I’m talking about the Band U2. I especially wanted to watch the Vertigo video, and how happy I was when I got it.
U2 has been my favorite band for long, and I love them a lot. All the songwriters, I have been watching, I never have seen such a creative person as Bono. His lyrics include activism, the search of a human heart to excel, and his thirst to know the pure. The journey his lyrics take through your mind is amazing.
I will be called biased if I say he has got all the inspirations from his faith in the creator. But that is the truth, though Bono does not acknowldge it anytime soon. Bono grew up in Dublin’s Shalom Christian Fellowship, and I would say he is writing another book of “revelation” – his songs are so soul thirsty. He has high spiritual visions, just like John had to write the book “revelation”. The Revelation is the hardest book to read, understand and consume – U2’s lyrics are hard as that to consume.
I heard the news, watching the grammy throughout the night. I jumped out of my sofa when U2 came to the stage. U2 won song of the year, a songwriter’s award, for “Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own,” as well as best rock album for “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.” I’m happy for them.
