Lyrically Speaking for Feb 10

For this week's Lyrically Speaking, I decided to introduce another band that has been around for a long time and for some, a band that is necessary in the world. I will definitely post more songs from U2 as time goes on, so don't worry.

U2 is a legendary band that has music that spans many sounds. They had some records that floundered, including the dreadful 'Pop'. Bono and company finally got their act together and released the amazing "All That You Can't Leave Behind" in 2000. At first, you hear a good album and then you begin to hear the amazing writing within the album.

This song currently ranks 16 out of 2,809 in terms of play count in my iTunes library. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. From U2, this is Walk On.

And love is not the easy thing The only baggage you can bring... And love is not the easy thing... The only baggage you can bring Is all that you can't leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off And if your glass heart should crack And for a second you turn back Oh no, be strong

Walk on, walk on What you got, they can't steal it No they can't even feel it Walk on, walk on Stay safe tonight...

You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been A place that has to be believed to be seen You could have flown away A singing bird in an open cage Who will only fly, only fly for freedom

Walk on, walk on What you got they can't deny it Can't sell it or buy it Walk on, walk on Stay safe tonight

And I know it aches And your heart it breaks And you can only take so much Walk on, walk on

Home...hard to know what it is if you never had one Home...I can't say where it is but I know I'm going home That's where the heart is

I know it aches How your heart it breaks And you can only take so much Walk on, walk on

Leave it behind You've got to leave it behind All that you fashion All that you make All that you build All that you break All that you measure All that you steal All this you can leave behind All that you reason All that you sense All that you speak All you dress up All that you scheme...
