Bono non ce la faceva più a tenersele 

[stesivori]

bene le dichiarazioni, non cosparse della megalomania dell’ultima fase…sul disco sospendo il giudizio, mi sbilancio solo su TOT che al primo ascolto è stupefacente sia come melodia che come lirycs

tears of things brividi veri

AMERICAN OBITUARY 

 

You have the right to remain silent 

or not… 

 

God above a mother's love

A guiding hand to pick you up

To crush her like a coffee cup

Why?

Crossing guard or yellow bus 

Our children teach us who to trust 

The worst can’t kill what’s best in us 

But they can try 

America will rise 

Against the people of the lie 

 

I love you more 

Than hate loves war 

I love you more 

Than hate loves war

(War, war) 

 

We love you more than hate loves war 

 

Renee Good born to die free

American mother of three

Seventh day January

A bullet for each child, you see

The color of her eye

930 Minneapolis 

To desecrate domestic bliss

Three bullets blast, three babies kissed

Renee the domestic terrorist???

What you can’t kill can't die

America will rise 

Against the people of the lie 

I love you more 

Than hate loves war 

I love you more 

Than hate loves war 

(War, war)

We love you more than hate loves war 

 

I am not mad at you, Lord 

You’re the reason I was there 

Could you stop a heart from breaking

By having it not care?

Could you stop a bullet in midair?

She says…
The power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power
The power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power

The power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power

 

In the streets with children playing 

In the churches where they’re praying 

School teachers are explaining 

America, America 

The power of the people! 

 

We love you more (we say, we say) than hate loves war 

I love you more (I say, I say) than hate loves war

THE TEARS OF THINGS 

 

There’s no start to this story 

And I can see no end 

To young men hearing voices 

Whisper in the wind 

I woke up made of marble 

A shepherd boy in shock 

Michelangelo release me 

From a single block 

I’m David the giant killer 

With heart-shaped eyes

I was naked as a soldier 

Far from my mother's cries and 

 

The tears of things

The tears of things 

Rising like a flood 

The tears of things 

The tears of things 

I’d cry them if I could 

 

Was it you, Lord, I was listening to? 

You didn’t say much 

You said “Let my fingers form you,

Be fashioned by my touch, 

Be open to be broken

As every heart that sings,

No voice and drum can overcome 

A symphony of strings" 

You said “You’d make of me an instrument 

For melody and word”

I wonder as things fall asunder 

Was it really you I heard or 

 

The tears of things? 

The tears of things 

Songs made out of rain 

The tears of things 

The tears of things

Here we go again

 

Mussolini came to see me 

A shadow by his side 

Church bells ring, a vanishing 

Then the vanishing denied

Six million voices silenced in just four years  

The silent song of Christendom 

So loud everybody hears

Before the roar, before the blast 

The stench and shame 

There's a howling, wailing sound 

That screams your name 

I’m David not Goliath, I was born in Bethlehem 

And there is no us if there is no them 

My eyes were burned from all I learned

There were things I can’t unsee 

In this your holy war 

There’s nothing holy here for me just 

 

The tears of things 

The tears of things 

Rising like a flood 

The tears of things 

The tears of things

I’d cry them if I could 

 

If you put a man into a cage and rattle it enough

A man becomes the kind of rage that cannot be locked up 

No, it cannot be locked up 

No, it cannot be locked up 

Dear God you made us so you wouldn’t be alone 

Every heart is exiled until a heart gets home 

Don’t send us back to stone 

Don’t send us back to stone 

 

I was made for worship before I spoke I sang 

Songs of grief, of disbelief 

How a woman can love a man 

The naked song, the sacred song 

That every soldier fears 

'Cause when people go around talking to God

It always ends in tears

 

Yeah, the tears of things 

The tears of things 

Let the desert be unfrozen 

The tears of things 

The river sings 

Who would choose to be chosen? 

 

River, sea and mountain 

Desert, dust and snow 

Everybody is my people 

Let my people go 

 

Michelangelo’s David (1504)

Appearing daily in the Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence, Italy

 

 

 

 

 

SONG OF THE FUTURE 

 

The future, as everyone knows

Is where we're gonna be spending the rest of our life 

Who said the future is closed

Never saw the promise in her eyes… liberty 

And I’m running my mouth off

Running my mouth off 

It's not poetry 

And I’m running my mouth off again

 

Sarina Sarina

She's the song of the future

Playing in my mind

Gotta know gotta find a way to get to her

She's holding up the sign

All alone 

All alone 

But not alone 

Yeah, we’re not alone

Sarina Sarina

She’s the song of the future 

Yeah

 

Picture - heaven is closed 

All the classroom prophets gone to ground 

Schoolgirl says everyone knows 

Love is a verb and not a noun

Or so it seems 

It has me running my mouth off 

Running my mouth off 

It’s not poetry 

But I’m running my mouth off again 

 

Sarina Sarina

She’s the song of the future

Playing in my mind

Gotta know gotta find a way to get to her

She's holding up the sign

All alone 

All alone 

But not alone 

Yeah, we’re not alone

Sarina Sarina

She’s the song of the future

 

Sarina Sarina

She’s the song of the future

Playing in my mind

Gotta know gotta find a way to get to her

She's holding up the sign

All alone 

All alone 

You’re not alone 

Yeah, we’re not alone

Sarina Sarina

She’s the song of the future

Playing in my mind

WILDPEACE

By Yehuda Amichai. Translated By Chana Bloch & Stephen Mitchell

 

Not the peace of a cease-fire,

not even the vision of the wolf and the lamb,

but rather

as in the heart when the excitement is over

and you can talk only about a great weariness.

I know that I know how to kill,

that makes me an adult.

And my son plays with a toy gun that knows

how to open and close its eyes and say Mama.

A peace

without the big noise of beating swords into ploughshares,

without words, without

the thud of the heavy rubber stamp: let it be

light, floating, like lazy white foam.

A little rest for the wounds—

who speaks of healing?

(And the howl of the orphans is passed from one generation

to the next, as in a relay race:

the baton never falls.)

 

Let it come

like wildflowers,

suddenly, because the field

must have it: wildpeace.

 

 

 

 

 

ONE LIFE AT A TIME 

 

How much is enough

You can screw or fix things up

The world will align 

 

One life at a time 

One life at a time 

One life

One life 

One life at a time 

 

Look around

What you see depends on where you stand 

How you fall depends on where you land

What you know is more than you’ve been told 

What you're feeling shapes all you see

To find the map and lose the territory

Is our story 

 

You say you wanna save the world 

Well how you gonna get that right

You say you wanna save the world tonight 

You say you wanna save the world 

And perfect love drives out all fear 

Well how’s that gonna happen here?

How’s it gonna happen here?

 

One life 

One life at a time 

At a time 

One life

No crime?

No crime? 

 

Look around

What you have depends on what you hold

What you buy is what you’re being sold

How you hope depends on what you dream

What you imagine is your destiny

What you forget might set your spirit free

To be the changes that have to be 

A heart that listens is a mind that grows

Time doesn’t pass it waits in place 

Until it meets you face to face

A peaceful place is never still

The faith to crawl up every hill

Every hill 

 

You say you wanna save the world 

Well how you gonna get that right

You say you wanna save the world tonight 

You say you wanna save the world 

And perfect love drives out all fear 

Well how’s that gonna happen here?

How’s it gonna happen here?

 

One life 

One life at a time 

At a time 

At a time 

If there’s no law is there no crime
No crime?

YOURS ETERNALLY 

 

Don't sleep 

Don't even think about it 

No need 

Maybe a little bit 

Still dream 

About waking up free

As we can be

Forget 

Whatever doesn't fit

Regret 

Regret none of it

Don't bet

On getting rid of me

Yours eternally 

 

Dearest friends or whatever 

We are calling ourselves these days 

My current location 

I cannot disclose 

Geographically 

It's nowhere that I’ve been before 

But emotionally 

We’re on the same road 

If you have the chance to laugh 

Laugh at me 

If you have the chance to hope 

It's a duty

 

Don't sleep 

Don't even think about it

No need

Maybe a little bit 

Still dream 

About waking up free

As we can be

Forget 

Whatever doesn't fit

Regret 

Regret none of it

Don't bet 

On getting rid of me

Yours eternally 

 

 

As your so called companion 

The worst jokes and the greatest times 

You got me high

And the stars got me home 

Your faith in me was blinding 

Yours is the song that I’ve always sung 

You are not lost out there because

You are not alone

If you have a chance to reach 

Reach for me

In the chaos of the earth

We’ll find beauty 

All this time we’ve been chasing dust

A soldier’s song a sailor’s lust

For the glory of a world 

That we can’t yet see

 

Don't sleep 

Don't even think about it 

No need 

Maybe a little bit 

Still dream 

About waking up free

As we can be

Forget 

Whatever doesn't fit

Regret 

Regret none of it

Don't bet

On getting rid of me

Yours eternally

 

Volia, volia 

Volia, volia 

Volia, volia 

Volia, volia

Messaggio modificato da chiccalovesbono il 18 February 2026 - 10:53 PM

[gabrielectric.to]

ho ascoltato solo Obituary, mi sembra abbastanza spoglia come produzione, il che è un bene.

 

Bono in questo pezzo canta bene, direi.

[felipe]

un unico produttore... bene così...

[René Ferretti]

Il primo pezzo mi sembra venire fuori dalle outtake di How to dismantle an atomic bomba. Bella caciarona, con un bel muro di chitarre che mi ricorda vagamente gli Who. Mi piace

[Logan]

The Tears Of Things meravigliosa. Ho solo ascoltato questa. Che sorpresa. Che emozione…

[Alex the fly]

APPENA finito il primo ascolto, mi pare ci siano buone cose e qualcosa di differente rispetto al recente passato.

non me l'aspettavo, bella sorpresa.

[Andreavox]

Minuto 3.20 di The Tears a me ha fatto venire in mente qualcosa di Bowie, solo quel punto di 20 secondi. 
Che non mi arrivino insulti.

Il pezzo nel complesso non c'entra ovviamente nulla.

Dopo due ascolti direi su tutte The tears of things e One life at a time.


 

[Il Prof]

Ma quanto è bello ti-leggere Larry Mullen Jr.: Drums ❤️

[Andreavox]

un unico produttore... bene così...

Sarebbe anche ora, speriamo prendano il meglio di questo EP per il disco e vadano anche oltre.
