Fenómeno U2

Só hoje tive oportunidade de ouvir a gravação do especial U2 da Antena 3, e não consegui deixar de ficar surpreendida com o alcance do fenómeno desta banda. Ao longo da Vertigo Tour, os U2 vão dar no total 116 concertos, para os quais os bilhetes esgotam sempre em poucas horas. São filas intermináveis, noites ao relento, corridas para os multibancos... E o mais curioso é o facto de abranger gente de todo o lado, de todas as idades... É inexplicável.

Beautiful Day
The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere.
You thought you’d found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away

You’re on the road but you’ve got no destination
You’re in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if it doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over and it’s been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I’m not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
Don´t let it get away
A beautiful day

Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know Iím not a hopeless case

What you don’t have you don’t need it now
What you don’t know you can feel it somehow
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
You don’t need it now, you don’t need it now
Beautiful day

Eu posso ser sincero, preferio as musicas mais antigas do U2, as atuais não me atrem tanto,não sei porque.
