U2

Here are the lyrics to my all-time favorite U2 song:

Until the End of the World

(U2)

Haven't seen you for quite a while

I was down the hole just passing time

Last time we met was a low-lit room

We were as close together as a bride and groom

We ate the food, we drank the wine

Everybody having a good time

Except you, you were talking about the end of the world

I took the money

I spiked your drink

You miss too much these days if you stop to think

You lead me on with those innocent eyes

You know I love the element of surprise

In the garden I was playing the tart

I kissed your lips and broke your heart

You, you were acting like it was the end of the world

In my dream I was drowning my sorrows

But my sorrows, they learned to swim

Surrounding me, going down on me

Spilling over the brim

Waves of regret, waves of joy

I reached out for the one I tried to destroy

You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world

U2 was slated to play in Montreal this month on the North American leg of their 360 tour. Unfortunately the concert got cancelled due to Bono's back and spine injuries. My die-hard U2 fan bro Al, braved sub-zero weather last winter in order to get tickets which sold out in just a matter of hours after they went on sale. My good friends Cindi and Raffi also got a pair. I thought they'd all be refunded for them. But ticket-holders were instead specifically instructed to hold on to them for when they do come (yay!). So, the concert tour hasn't been cancelled altogether, just postponed. Bono's injuries are quite serious and has been ordered to be on bed rest for the time being. And according to my bro, he heard that when Bono's stubborn nature quickly became apparent to his doctors, they enlisted the help of his U2 band mates, lead guitarist, The Edge, bassist, Adam Clayton and drummer, Larry Mullen, Jr. to get Bono whom they fondly and loyally refer to as their "fearless leader" to stay put. Shout out to U2: I ♥♥♥ U!!!

I wanted to invite you guys to share with me your fave U2 song/moment. Looking forward to your comments!

Wild Horses

I don't just indiscriminately open every single link my friends share on Facebook - but I took my beautiful friend Jen's word for it when she said this was beautiful...beautiful indeed, Jen! Thank you for sharing! In turn, I would like to share this song with everyone. Apparently the song is part of the soundtrack of the movie Flicka, which is about, you've guessed it right, horses! Here are the lyrics, and my next post is an actual (unofficial) video off youtube...enjoy!

"Wild Horses"
(Natasha Bedingfield)


I feel these four walls closing in
My face up against the glass
I'm looking out...
Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
It's greener pastures I'm thinking about
Wide open spaces far away

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared

[Chorus:]
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
Run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!

I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare back, care free along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head first headlong without a thought
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break free

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared

[Chorus:]
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!

I wanna run too...

Recklessly abandoning myself before you
I wanna open up my heart tell him how I feel

[Chorus:]
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!

I wanna run with the wild horses....
