This is a very interesting presentation that explores themes about Justice and reversal. Bono discusses how after his mother Iris died, her name wasn’t spoken anymore. Just ignoring her didn’t solve anything.
Quotes of note:
“The strong shall become weak if they don’t do the right thing.”
“Redemption is an economic term - to be redeemed.”
“A country is a story we tell ourselves.”
“Why are we giving such awful people the term ‘populist’? Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lennon were populists.”
“America is the greatest idea but it doesn’t exist yet.”
“The world needs you to succeed.”
“Freedom is under siege.”
“God is with us if we are with the poor and vulnerable.”
“By thy deeds you will know them.”
Harry’s Game lyrics
I will go to the east and to the west
where the moon and the sun
always came.
Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol the day fol the day
The moon and the sun will go
the young man and his repuation following him
Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol the day fol the day
Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol the day fol the day
I will go where he came before
the young man and his reputation following him.
Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol the day fol the day
Highway To Hell lyrics
Livin' easy
Lovin' free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Askin' nothin'
Leave me be
Takin' everything in my stride
Don't need reason
Don't need rhyme
Ain't nothin' I'd rather do
Goin' down
Party time
My friends are gonna be there too, yeah
I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
No stop signs
Speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel
Gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me around
Hey Satan
Payin' my dues
Playin' in a rocking band
Hey momma
Look at me
I'm on my way to the Promised Land, ow
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Mmm, don't stop me
Ehh, ehh, oww
I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to
Hell
Highway to hell (I'm on the highway to hell)
Highway to hell (highway to hell)
Highway to hell (I'm on the highway to hell)
Highway to hell
And I'm goin' down
All the way, wow
On the highway to hell
Miracle Drug lyrics
U2
I want a trip inside your head
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug
A miracle drug
God I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear your voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger
You took me in"
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
Yeah I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug
Miracle, miracle drug
MLK lyrics
U2
Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on him
Mmm, mmm, mmm
So let it be
Mmm, mmm, mmm
So let it be
Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain
Rain on him
