BIGLIETTI U2, TESTO MYSTERIOUS WAYS (SOLAR PLEXUS CLUB MIX)

Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You've been living underground
Eating from a can
You've been running away
From what you don't understand...
Love


She's slippy
You're sliding down
She'll be there when you hit the ground


It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways


Johnny take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel


(On your knees boy)


She loves you
You don't know why
She sees the man inside the child


It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Lift my days, light up my nights


One day you will look...back
And you'll see...where
You were held...how
By this love...while
You could stand...there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling


It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright


We move through miracle days
Spirit moves in mysterious ways
It'll move you
She moves with it
Lift my days, light up my nights

GLI U2 RISALGONO LA CLASSIFICA

Dopo aver dominato le classifiche di vendita dischi al momento della sua uscita e per mesi interi, No Line On The Horizon accenna a risalire. Secondo i dati FIMI l'ultimo studio labum degli U2 passa questa settimana dalla posizione 74 alla 65, scavalcando ben 9 livelli.

BIGLIETTI U2, TESTO NUMB (GIMMIE SOME MORE DIGNITY MIX)

Rob...rob...rob, wake up. Rob...well listen, listen, look, we've been up at the new U2 readings, right. It's called Numb or something. I don't know what it's like, but it might be quite good. And even if it isn't, if it's not good, we'll just sell the multi-tracks down captain lockings(???), you know, make a bit of money that way. But anyway, um, when you wake up, give me a ring and I'm going to call the studio and book some time. Oh yeah, and I want to use a full string section, okay.

THE EDGE: DETESTO LE JAM SESSION

In un'intervista a Neil McCormick del Daily Telegraph The Edge si è detto assolutamente contrario a fare jam sessins con altri chitarristi. "Ho provato e mai più. Fare jam sessions è la cosa più scocciante e terribile per me. Non mi ci diverto proprio. Prima di tutto, non ha niente a che fare con il modo in cui lavoro come musicista. Io non mi siedo e inizio a suonare a vavera per vedere che viene fuori. L'idea di fare jamming , senza fine senza direzione senza un progetto, è una cosa che trovo noiosissima."

Take me higher

And you'll be satisfied
Give me two more chances
You won't be denied


Well my heart is where it's always been
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance
Let me be your lover tonight


You're the real thing
You're the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child...


Give me one last chance
And I'm gonna make you sing
Give me half a chance
To ride on the waves that you bring


You're honey child to a swarm of bees
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze
Give me one last dance
We'll slide down the surface of things


You're the real thing
You're the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child...


Take me higher
Take me higher
Take me higher
You take me higher

We're free to fly the crimson sky
The sun won't melt our wings tonight

BIGLIETTI U2, TESTO SALOME (ZOOROMANCER REMIX)

Baby please
Baby please don't go
I got lies to feed
They want skin and seed
Now don't make me crawl

Baby don't bite your lip
Give you half what I got
If you untie the knot
It's a promise


Salome...salome
Salome...salome
Yeah yeah yeah


Baby please
Baby what's that tune
Well I heard it before
When I crawled from your door
And my blood turned blue


Baby please
Baby please slow down
Baby I feel sick
Don't make me stick to my promise


Salome...salome
Salome...salome
Salome...salome


Baby please
Baby don't say no
Won't you dance for me
'neath that cherry tree
Won't you swing down low


Please
Baby please say yes
Baby don't go away
You're spilling me
And your precious love


Shake it shake it shake it salome
Shake it shake it shake it salome
Shake it shake it shake it salome

BIGLIETTI U2, TESTO HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN (THE GUN MIX)

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun


She's not a girl who misses much
She's not a girl who misses much


Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun


Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun


She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd
With the multicoloured mirrors on his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes wide open
And the hands busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust


Hey, I need a fix 'cause I'm going down


Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun


Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun


I need a fix cause I'm going down
I need a fix cause I'm going down
I need a fix cause I'm going down
To the bits that I left uptown


I need a fix cause I'm going down, uptown
Need a fix cause I'm going down, uptown


Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun

CONCERTI U2, IL PALCO

Ecco una bellissima foto del The Claw, l'impressionante palco a 360 gradi usato dagli U2 per i loro tour del 2009 e del 2010. La foto è stata pubblicata oggi sul sito ufficiale della band.

BIGLIETTI U2, TESTO YOUR BLUE ROOM

It's time to go again
To your blue room
Got some questions to ask of you
In your blue room


The air is clean
Your skin is clear
I've had enough fun hanging 'round here
It's a different kind of conversation
Your blue room


Saw me coming
In outside
Saw me coming
Somewhere I can hide


And time is a string of pearls...your blue room
(I'm a swinger)
See the future just hanging there...your blue room
A new frame, a new perspective
Looking down on my objectives
Your instructions whatever their directions
Your blue room


Saw me coming
East by the moon
Saw me coming
Can you feel


(It's allright)


Your blue room


One day I'll be back...your blue room
Yeah, I hope I remember where it's at...your blue room


We see me slide
Won't you give me a home
So much for change


Zooming in
Zooming out
Nothing I can't do without
A lens to see it all up close
Magnifying what no one knows
Never in company
Never alone
No car alarm
No cellular phone

BONO VOX ARTISTA DI STRADA A NATALE

Bono Vox è sceso per strada a Dublino la sera di Natale e, in mezzo a un centinaio di giovani increduli, si è unito agli artisti di strada che stavano suonando in Grafton Street. Bono si è fermato per tre pezzi: “Knockin´ On Heaven´s Door” di Bob Dylan, ‘Stand By Me’ di Ben E.King e “Heyday” di Mic Christopher. Su Youtube ho trovato il video del primo brano.

BUON 2010

Ciao a tutti, niente notizie oggi. Entro solo per augurarvi un felicissimo 2010. Spero per voi che il nuovo anno sia l'anno dellle soddisfazioni e della serenità. Ma soprattutto spero che riusciate ad essere lì, a Torino o a Roma non importa, a godervi il più grande evento musicale di questo nuovo anno: il concerto degli U2.

BIGLIETTI U2, TESTO YAHWEH

Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don't make a fist
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahewh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Still waiting for the dawn, the sun is coming up
The sun is coming up on the ocean
This love is like a drop in the ocean
This love is like a drop in the ocean

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, tell me now
Why the dark before the dawn?

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break
