Gone

You get to feel so guilty
Got so much for so little
The you find that feeling just won’t go away.
You’re holding on to every little thing so tightly
Till there’s nothing left for you anyway.

Goodbye, you can keep this suit of lights
I’ll be up with the sun
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down.

You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way.
You changed your name
Well that’s okay, it’s necessary
And what you leave behind you don’t miss anyway.

Goodbye, you can keep this suit of lights
I’ll be up with the sun
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down.

‘Cause I’m already gone
Felt that way all along.
Closer to you every day
I didn’t want it that much anyway.

You’re taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then you learn to like the way it feels.
You hurt yourself, you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed.

Goodbye, and it’s an emotional
Goodnight, I’ll be up with the sun.Are you still holding on?
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down.

Soon, U2′s POP 10th Anniversary!

Un juego cambia todo

Un juego cambia todo

El mundial de Alemania 2006 ya esta a la vuelta de la esquina, por ese motivo la cadena deportiva ESPN ha lanzado a partir del 9 de Mayo , una serie de spots alusivos al mundial; y ¿Quién creen que sale en ellos?, ¡nada más y nada menos que U2!.ESPN decidió escoger a U2 porque los Norteamericanos no son precisamente muy fanáticos del fútbol soccer, y aprovechan la oportunidad para dar un doble mensaje, el tema de los comerciales gira en torno a ONE, campaña de la que ya les he platicado anteriormente, y también remarcan como un juego es capaz de detener todas las actividades en el mundo.

Son cuatro comerciales que se llaman “Anthem”, “Ivory Coast”, “Tartan Army”, “Sick Days”, narrados por Bono, The Edge y Adam Clayton, tienen de música de fondo canciones como “Beautiful Day”, “City of Blinding Lights”, “I Will Follow” y “Where the Streets Have No Name”, la verdad vale la pena checarlos, vayan a este link para los videos One Game, y el audio aqui en castpost.

SALU2!

Anthem (City of Blinding Lights) Voz: Bono

Es una cosa simple, solo un balón y el gol
Pero una vez cada cuatro años, esa cosa tan simple
Cambia drásticamente al mundo

Cierra escuelas, cierra tiendas, cierra a la ciudad, detiene una guerra.

Un simple balón alimenta la pasión y orgullo de las naciones
Le da a la gente de todo el mundo, algo en que tener esperanza
Le da a los países respeto, donde el respeto no es algo que se venda

Y logra más de lo que cualquier político pudiera lograr
Una vez, cada cuatro años, un balón hace lo imposible

Y si eso no es suficiente, el mundo como lo conocemos, está por cambiar

The Crunch

Del libro Love is a Dog from hell (1977), aqui este poema “The Crunch”, interpretado por Bono en el Documental de Charles Bukowski “Born into This” (2004).Este poema yuxtapone la desilusión de Bukowski con el mundo, con la convicción de que debemos encontrar un mejor camino.

The Crunch, original of Charles Bukowski.
Read by Bono

Too much
too little
too fat
too thin
or nobody.
Strangers with faces like
the backs of thumb tacks
Armies running through
streets of blood
waving wine bottles
bayoneting and fucking virgins.

Or an old guy in a cheap room
with a photograph of M. Monroe.
there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock
People so tired, mutilated
either by love or by no love.

People just are not good to each other
one on one.

The rich are not good to the rich
The poor are not good to the poor.
We are afraid.

Our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners

It hasn’t told us
about the gutters
or the suicides.
or the terror of one person
aching in one place alone
The beads will swing
the clouds will cloud
and the killer will behead the child
like taking a bite out of an ice cream cone.

Too much
too little
too fat
too thin
or nobody

More haters than lovers.
people are not good to each other.
perhaps if they were
our deaths would not be so sad.
meanwhile I look at young girls stems
Flowers of chance.
there must be a way.
Surely there must be a way that we have not yet
though of.
who put this brain inside of me?
It cries
it demands
it says that there is a chance.
it will not say
“no.”
