that's a very good song!

Electrical Storm

 

I'm in love with this song....... I can't stop listening to it, over and over and over again..... :D :D :D (It's by U2)

it's pretty good. I can't wait to hear their new album in December.

Electrical Storm is a wonderful song, and very addicting too! Have you seen the video with Larry? :o It's my new favorite. ;)

yeah, I've seen already... but I don't quite understand it? :-o :roll:

I don't understand it either, but it's nice to look at. :lol: What's the deal with the elk running through one of the scenes?

I dunno..... but it looks nice...... maybe it's just letting know that a whole year passed by? :-o I dunno... I don't understand it either... (I do really want to know) 'cause I like the song so much but I don't quite understand the video :?

Have you seen the video with Larry?

 

SCHWING!!! :lol:

:lol:

well here is the first part...

hope u understand it... english is not my mother lenguage u know..

Well, the past is represented by the sea, and the love of the mermaid is part of that past.. like those relationships that once had to shipwreck, and the tide removes afloat the rest of it with punity.... ad old love that still makes u scratch the walls.

The songs says: “The sea it swells like a sore head and the night it is aching”... so this kind of past-sea beats, surviving, being melancholic, and brings us waves of memories that twist our souls, that makes us want to get into it again and want to rescue the better of it.. most of the times that´s not possible, but when we do it, the result is not what we expected..

 

Anton corbjin does the photograpy in this video, and it´s great.. he proyects a look of larry too damn sexy (something almost impossible:P) and changes the classic look of a mermaid with long hair.

The video calibrates it´s intensive vission along with the development of the song..” Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed”.. and corbjim shows a couple lliying on the rocks without anything without touching themselves.. bono ends up singning: “Well if the sky can crack there must be someway back to love and only love”.. and the video shows some fireworks breaking the night that came from the mermaid´s own body.. adn then the director records with total gentleness the back of the mermaid being consumed, because that´s where the love brings: to the agony..

i Love this song.I havent heard it recently tough

Okay, my brain kind of wandered off at the word "Larry" and "U2".

 

mmmmm.....Larry......*stares dreamily off into space*

u2 are awesome. i really like elecrtical storm and beautiful day.

Okay everybody, what are your fave U2 lyrics? Mine are the lyrics to Zooropa, from the album..... Zooropa!

 

 

Zooropa, Vorsprung durch Technik.

Zooropa, be all that you can be.

Be a winner, eat to get slimmer.

 

Zooropa, a bluer kind of white

Zooropa, it could be yours tonight.

We're mild and green and squeaky clean.

 

Zooropa, better by design

Zooropa, fly the friendly skies.

Through the appliance of science

We've got that ring of confidence.

And I have no compass

And I have no map

And I have no reasons

No reasons to get back.

 

And I have no religion

And I don't know what's what

And I don't know the limit

The limit of what we got.

 

Zooropa, don't worry baby, it'll be alright.

Zooropa, you've got the right shoes

Zooropa, to get you through the night.

Zooropa, it's cold outside, but brightly lit

Zooropa, let's skip the subway,

Zooropa, let's go to the overground.

Get your head out of the mud baby

Put flowers in the mud baby,

overground.

 

No particular place names

No particular song

I've been hiding

What am I hiding from?

 

Zooropa, don't worry, baby, it's gonna be alright

Zooropa, uncertainty can be a guiding light.

Zooropa, I hear voices, ridiculous voices

Zooropa, in the slipstream.

Zooropa, let's go, let's go overground.

Zooropa, take your head out of the mud, baby.

 

She's gonna dream up the world she wants to live in

She's gonna dream out loud, she's gonna dream out loud,

She's gonna dream out loud, dream out loud.

STAY. Most definetely. It's the first song to ever make me cry just due to the lyrics... [and the second being "Amsterdam"..]

 

Green light, Seven Eleven

You stop in for a pack of cigarettes

You don't smoke, don't even want to

Hey now, check your change

Dressed up like a car crash

Your wheels are turning but you're upside down

You say when he hits you, you don't mind

Because when he hurts you, you feel alive

Oh now, is that what it is?

 

Red light, gray morning

You stumble out of a hole in the ground

A vampire or a victim

It depends on who's around

You used to stay in to watch the adverts

You could lip synch to the talk show hosts

 

And if you look, you look through me

And when you talk, you talk at me

And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

 

If I could stay... then the night would give you up

Stay... and the day would keep its trust

Stay... and the night would be enough

 

Faraway, so close

Up with the static and the radio

With satellite television

You can go anywhere

Miami, New Orleans

London, Belfast and Berlin

 

And if you listen I can't call

And if you jump, you just might fall

And if you shout, I'll only hear you

 

If I could stay... then the night would give you up

Stay... then the day would keep its trust

Stay... with the demons you drowned

Stay... with the spirit (that) I've found

Stay... and the night would be enough

 

Three o'clock in the morning

It's quiet and there's no one around

Just the bang and the clatter

As an angel runs to ground

 

Just the bang

And the clatter

As an angel

Hits the ground

hey, nice signiture!

 

Yea, Stay is a great song. That's the one that really got me hooked on u2. When I was seven I heard U2 for the first time, the first song I ever heard was I still haven't found what I'm looking for, and I didn't even know it was them until eight years later haha.

 

I change my mind....... RUNNING TO STAND STILL is the best U2 song ever made.

 

And so she woke up

woke up from where she was

lying still

said we've got to do something

about where we're going

step on a steam train

step out of driving rain maybe

run from the darkness in the night

singing halalala da-day

halalala da-day

sweet the sin

but bitter the taste in my mouth

I see seven towers

but I only see one way out

you've got cry without weeping

talk without speeking

scream without raising your voice

you know I took the poison

from the poison stream

and I floated out of here

singing halalala da-day

halalala da-day

she runs through the streets

with her eyes painted red

under a black belly of cloud in the rain

in through a doorway

she brings me

white golden pearls

stolen from the sea

she's raging, she's raging

and the storm blows up in her eyes

she will suffer the needle chill

she's running to stand still

The whole "Joshua Tree" is awsome....

I think the first one I ever heard was "Where the Streets Have No Name"......

BTW, have you ever noticed that "The First Time" sounds a lot like "Running to Stand Still" ?....hmmm....

yea. sort of. Bad sounds a lot like Running To Stand Still too. Like, the way that the song builds up to a climax. The First Time, I love that song! Everything on Zooropa is good. That is such and underated U2 cd right there. I like it just as much as The Joshua Tree.

 

My favorites by U2 are

Running To Stand Still, The First Time, Where The Streets Have No Name, Red Hill Mining Town, A Sort Of Homecoming, New Years Day, Walk On....... there are too many.

Speaking of underated....does anyone else like Pop? It's a great album, really....despite "Miami"

Pop was good. I LOVE the song Starring At The Sun.

Have you seen the video for it? Odd.

nice avator!

 

Yea, I saw the video. Pop was a good cd but, it wasn't U2's best. I thought that All The You Can't Leave Behind was a great cd to followup Pop with. The best U2 album is either The Joshua Tree, Zooropa, or War.

Joshua Tree, definetely.

Although, Achtung Baby was really good...

 

Man, I must have avatar ADD or something...now I have the urge to put another one up..hmm...

haha. The Joshua Tree, everybody says that's the best U2 album. Achtung Baby! was great too. Zoo Station, and Until The End Of The World are my faves off that one, oh yea, how could I forget about ONE!

 

I'm listening to Stay (Faraway So Close) right now by coincidence.

 

They new cd is supposed to be more like rock than the stuff U2 has been putting out lately. Well, they are working with the producer of The Beatles, so, I guess should be alrite.

I hope so. When I read an interview of theirs that said it was really "back to the basics guitar rock", I was a little afraid. I mean, can you imagine Edge pulling off some kind of White Stripes thing? Scary. Interesting, but scary.
