Today’s Terrific Tune features a well-known band. A really well-known band. It’s the Irish band U2. Heard of ’em? I thought so. If not, (what planet are you from?), learn more here. Anyway, I’m not using one of the big hits. Maybe this one was a small hit? I’ve found over the years that many of my favorite U2 songs are not the big hits. In fact, both of their “best of” CDs are available with a second disc of lesser-known versions, b-sides, remixes, covers, etc. And those discs might even be better than the actual “hits” discs. There’s a lot more to this band than what you hear on the radio.
And the same four people have been in the band for over thirty years. How many bands can say that? But you can read about the fame, the awards, the glory some other time. Right now, this is the video for one of my favorite U2 songs, “Electrical Storm”. The video is done by Anton Corbijn, known also for Depeche Mode videos amongst other things. He loves black-and-white and stark images. So turn up the volume, set your video size to full-screen, and check it out. Then let me know what YOU think.
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
To love and only love
