I like all of U2's albums, but I've never liked one so much so quickly.

I used to like U2 a lot, but by the time of that event, I was so “meh” about them that I never bothered to listen to the album on my iTunes account. My goodness, what if this author were to review the eating a bacon sandwich? The black-and-white photo, shot by Glen Luchford… and im pissed that my shuffle plays this shit! I love the way you write and express your thoughts.

And why not? I applaud U2’s chutzpah in not letting the possibility of the alternate interpretations censor the release of the “Songs Of Innocence” cover, like they did with “Boy” by issuing an alternate cover in the U.S. in 1980. A two-CD format will feature additional tracks: Lucifer's Hands, The Crystal Ballroom, The Troubles (Alternative Version) and Sleep Like a Baby Tonight (Alternative Mix by Tchad Blake), as well as a six-song acoustic session. Me and wife have followed u2 from mcgonigles to the dandelion - remember 'the blades' - to Manchester to Sheffield - going to Madison Square Garden to see them for our 40th wedding anniversary - cant wait - our song is 'One' - I'm sure there will be tears my personal song is 'Bad'.

This was the presentation where Tim Cook and other Apple executives unveiled the iPhone 6 and also made the first announcement of the Apple Watch. Rather than a gift, many Apple customers saw the free album as something of an intrusion of the sacred privacy of their iTunes account. A friend and I attended the opening 2 minutes of U2 live at Glastonbury 201 and then left, not just because he opened the show by telling us how to live our lives for the betterment of the planet (yawn yawn) but also because we could later have the simple pleasure of looking back and saying to anyone interested, Yeah, I walked out on Bono and crew before they’d finished their opening song.’ Awkward pause in conversation………….

But, in reliable U2 fashion, the image is intentionally ambiguous. Then whatever they thought they could create through BlackBerry, nothing came of it, or at least nothing for the phone company.

“Let’s try to figure out why we wanted to be in a band, the relationships around the band, our friendships, our lovers, our family. I will be in tears when I hear EVERY BREAKING WAVE live...it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

Songs of Innocence est le treizième album studio du groupe U2, sorti le 9 septembre 2014 à l'occasion d'un discours inaugural d'Apple qui présentait les nouveaux modèles d'iPhone 6 et de l'Apple Watch13. "They are not releasing their album on the iPhone, and they are not performing at the iPhone launch," the spokesperson told media outlets. Apple likely viewed U2 as a safe band, with a broad cross-section of popularity, but at that point in U2's history that wasn't the case any longer. If it was the second, then the correct response was to simply delete it and move on. What gripping aspects to this experience could be conjured up out of such a mundane event? It reveals their influences, their innocences, and their loss of both.

He added that the cover reflects the themes of the album, "how holding on to your own innocence is a lot harder than holding on to someone else's.".

Does the work hold up in the absence of these contexts?) "With this record we were looking for the raw, naked and personal, to strip everything back.".

Do I love “Iris” because I know it’s about Bono’s mother, who died suddenly when he was a teen—an event that birthed Bono? In anticipation of the release, U2 have shared the cover art for the physical version. But most people don’t know U2 has any other members besides Bono.

)interpretations of the “Songs Of Innocence” cover and possible readings of same-sex love, homoeroticism or pedophilia. Not because it could imply pedophilia (I don’t read that into it.). Gasp!
