It's U2 Day! Their new album is out...I haven't bought it yet. Either tomorrow or Friday.Here's a taste from David Letterman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGurpsGKPCg
And here are the lyrics to the above song:
BREATHE by U2
16th of June, nine 0-five, door bell rings
Man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit longer
There’s a few things I need you to know.
Three coming from a long line of travelling sales people on my mother’s side
I wasn’t gonna buy just anyone’s cockatoo
So why would I invite a complete stranger into my home
Would you?
These days are better than that
These days are better than that
Every day I die again, and again I’m reborn
Every day I have to find the courage
To walk out into the street
To walk out into the street
With arms out
Got a love you can’t defeat
Neither down or out
There’s nothing you have that I need
I can breathe
Breathe now
16th of June, Chinese stocks are going up
And I’m coming down with some new Asian virus
Ju Ju man, Ju Ju man
Doc says you’re fine, or dying
Please
Nine 0-nine, St John Divine, on the line, my pulse is fine
But I’m running down the road like loose electricity
While the band in my head plays a striptease
The roar that lies on the other side of silence
The forest fire that is fear so deny it
Walk out into the street
Sing your heart out
The people we meet
The people we meet
Will not be drowned out
There’s nothing you have that I need
I can breatheBreathe now
Yeah, yeah
We are people borne of sound
The songs are in our eyes
Gonna wear them like a crown
Walk out, into the sunburst street
Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
I’ve found grace inside a soundI found grace, it’s all that I found
And I can breathe
Breathe now

I just like that line so much!! Hee..hee..
I had no idea U2 was releasing a new album and I haven't kept up with this band for years, but when I saw them on Letterman(from your link)-- they are still so good and don't seem like a washed up band at all!!
I saw U2 on their second tour of North America in 1981..or was it 1982?(I am getting old because the details are getting fuzzy). They were to headline Brown Univ.'s spring weekend and to play on the green outside. But the turnout was so huge that they moved inside to a big arena at the school and I remember being squashed and it being one huge singing along mass of people in there and it was a great concert. I loved thier first four albums but then lost interest for some reason. I think I will try to listen to more songs from this new CD, though, now that you have drawn my attention to this band again.
