THEY REALLY HAVE DELIVERED AGAIN

Listen to U2's new music here No Line On The Horizon When you get to the link you will see the collection of album covers, click on the first one and the playlist will appear

I'm hearing familiar sounds from U2's past and I am loving it along with new sounds/new ground and I am loving it also. Magnificent began to play and it made me think of one of my all time favorite U2 CDs...The Unforgettable Fire. Unknown Caller began and I remembered Joshua Tree and Boy and the more recent song The Hands That Built America all together.

***addition: I'm hearing some Achtung Baby also***

Okay, I'm still in the middle of listening and this is distracting me....back to the music. I'll talk about this later. I LOVE MUSIC........I love how these guys express their faith in their lyrics and their lives. This actually works along with where I have been for the past few days thinking about DISCOVERY. As Bono says..."I am drawing a fish in the sand, it is there for those who are searching for it and it is not for those who aren't." Since the 90s though, things haven't been as hidden. Here are some random lyrics.

"Every day I die again, and again I’m reborn
Every day I have to find the courage
To walk out into the street
With arms out
Got a love you can’t defeat"

"Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the Truth and not see it?"

"Go, shout it out, rise up
Oh, ohhh
Escape yourself, and gravity
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh, ohhh
Force quit and move to trash"

"Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
I’ve found grace inside a sound
I found grace, it’s all that I found
And I can breathe
Breathe now"

Magnificent

I was born
I was born to be with you
In this space and time
After that and ever after I haven't had a clue
Only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

I was born
I was born to sing for you
I didn’t have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise…

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

Justified till we die, you and I will magnify
The Magnificent
Magnificent

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love unites our hearts

Justified till we die, you and I will magnify
The Magnificent
Magnificent
Magnificent


FOR ONLY A HEART COULD BE AS WHITE AS SNOW
