They sang.......
You're packing a suitcase for a place,
none of us has been,
A place that has to be believed to be seen,
You could have flown away,
A singing bird in an open cage,
Who will only fly - only fly for freedom,
Walk on - walk on,
What you got they can't deny it,
Can't sell it or buy it,
Walk on - walk on,
You stay safe tonight,
I dont know what to praise.........the song......the album.....the band........ U2 has this aura around themselves...this ambience that their music creates....very few bands have been able to do it ....people would tell me to go to hell if I compare them with Pink floyd or maybe Led Zepplin.....but apparently in the recent past these guys are the only ones who have understood the fact that art is not something that is sold. Not to say that commercial success is not desired..it is incidental. They make music for themselves and not for others...maybe like jimmy, or jim, or dylan, or waters, or page.
All I can say abt U2 is that their music is peaceful. it makes sense to me.
A Singing Bird in an open cage
Who will only fly - only fly for freedom,
Makes sense....... doesnt it
