U2

"A band before we could play" conceded Bono in early interviews. Through a combination of zealous righteousness and post-punk experimentalism, U2 became one of the most popular rock & roll bands of the '80s. Equally known for their sweeping sound as for their grandiose statements about politics and religion, U2 were rock & roll crusaders during an era of synthesized pop and heavy metal. The edge provided the group with a signature sound by creating sweeping sonic landscapes with his heavily processed, echoed guitars.
One Tree Hill
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill---As the day begs the night for mercy love---The sun so bright it leaves no shadows--- Only scars carved into stone ---On the face of earth---The moon is up and over--- One Tree Hill---We see the sun go down in your eyes---You run like river, on like a sea---You run like a river runs to the sea---And in the world a heart of darkness---A fire zoneWhere poets speak their heart---Then bleed for itJara sang, his song a weaponIn the hands of love---You know his blood still cries--- From the ground---It runs like a river runs to the sea---It runs like a river to the sea---I don't believe in painted roses ---Or bleeding hearts---While bullets rape the night of the merciful---I'll see you again ---When the stars fall from the sky---And the moon has turned red---Over One Tree Hill---We run like a river ---Run to the sea---We run like a river to the sea---And when it's raining---Raining hard---That's when the rain will---Break my heart---Raining...raining in the heart---Raining in your heart---Raining...raining to your heart---Raining, raining...raining---Raining to your heart---Raining...raining in your heart---Raining in your heart..---To the sea---Oh great ocean---Oh great sea---Run to the ocean---Run to the sea
