The line "If you should ask then maybe they'd Tell you what I would say " rings a bell. I remember some people asking how I had done in an exam, but they did not ask me, they asked my friend standing next to me. Being some one who is shy and quiet around nearly all people, I do want people to know that I don't want to be like this. To some I could be like I was asleep or in a daze, but really Im wide awake on the inside,im wide awake, wide awake, im not sleeping, oh,no,no,no.
He said he the song was about "a friend of mine in Dublin who, on his 21st birthday, was given enough heroin to kill him. General Comment My friend just died two days ago of an overdose. My very good friend who I loved very, very much. It had been two weeks since the last time we'd spoken when I found out he died. I miss him so much already.
I was looking up songs about dying from addiction, and this was one of the first ones that came up in my search. It still worked for me, though, because I had found recovery and my friend never quite got it. I'm not a big U2 fan, but I've seen at least one person in these comments mention that this is their best song, and based on what I know of their music, I agree.
I think this is probably the best song ever written about what it's like to lose a friend to addiction. At least it's the best well-known song on the subject. Thanks to the band for writing it. It's helping me get through this.
General Comment The lyrics are not easy to figure out,but this song is flat out the greatest piece of live rock and roll ever committed to vinyl! General Comment I haven't the slightest clue what the song means.
I don't know. Whatever it means is still a mystery to me At the time, the band was unable to see the magnitude of their own performance. Their focus was on the song that they had to omit. As soon as they were off the stage, U2 had a huge argument backstage. It was time to re-evaluate a thing or two.
The performance turned out to be a breakthrough moment for the band. It showed a television audience of millions the personal connection that Bono could make with audiences.
His embrace with the fan become an iconic image for the entire Live Aid event. Bad was the song that gave that moment its soundtrack. The song is a solid fan favourite.
It is one of their most frequently performed songs in concert. And it is a song about heroin addiction. The early s recession had led to a high number of heroin addicts in inner city Dublin.
This is why Bono would frequently introduce the song as a song about Dublin when they played it live. During a show in Pittsburgh on 26 July , Bono added more detail.
We wrote this song about him and we play it for him tonight. He was referring to Andy Rowen, whom the song was written about in and who was present at the show. There are other versions of the story from Bono himself. His account from a concert in Chicago indicates that Bad is about a friend of his who died of a heroin overdose and also about the conditions that make such events likely to be repeated.
O n his 21st birthday he and his friends decided to give themselves a present of enough heroin into his veins to kill him. The song is from the point of view of a drug addict singing to the person who is trying to save him.
It was written about a friend of Bonos from Dublin who overdosed on heroin on his 21st Birthday, its a song about addiction and Bono sis telling his friend if he could he would take it away, Probably one of U2 greatest songs and just so Passionate and Stellar when performed live.
This song has had so many different interpretations is crazy. Some say it's about the friend on heroin, others say it's about love, and others say it's about religion. Bono had trouble in his life trying to find god and it was mentioned by him before that this song has a deep religious meaning.
But now that I think about it, maybe it has to do with his friend on herion is having trouble with this addiction and perhaps bono is trying to tell him that maybe he should seek something more powerful than drugs, like god. I dunno I think his heart is breaking for someone close to him suffering through a drug addiction. He's begging them to "surrender", "let it go". If he could, he would do it for him, but he can't.
