There comes a time when you just have to get to this band. I don't understand the level of passion or distaste people have for them. But I mostly only hear about people who love 'em or hate 'em.
This song really stands out to me as the first song I learned to play on bass. Pretty much the only song I could play well, as it's quite simple. But the song itself is a great one for reflection and encouragement. Well, I think.
Song 42
"With Or Without You" - from U2 and their album "The Joshua Tree"
This song just works for me in this season. Especially today. It's got that cool, grey skies, the weather is beginning to chill quite nicely. The song really speaks for itself. I guess most do. I don't know if I can really add anything to it.
I really love the way it expresses the frustration of not having the person and needing them. Or whatever the song is about. For me it can carry a spiritual message, which I think it does speak to.
Go listen, hear with your own ears and let the song wash over. There is a peaceful frustration, with a longing hope.
grace, peace + hope
