I have been enjoying listening to the new U2 album as I have been driving around recently. A recent post from Brian Draper of the London Institute of Contemporary Christianity (www.licc.org.uk) taken exclusively from the lyrics in song order highlighted the depth of thought and longing in this album:
‘I was born to sing for you/ I didn’t have a choice but/ to lift you up and sing whatever song you wanted me to/ I give you back my voice/ From the womb my first cry/ It was a joyful noise/ Justified till we die/ you and I will magnify/the Magnificent./Magnificent./
I’ve been in every black hole/At the altar of the dark star/My body’s now a begging bowl/ begging to get back/To my heart, to the rhythm of my soul/To the rhythm of my unconsciousness/To the rhythm that yearns to be released from control/
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak.
Shush now.
