High Fidelity - U2

U2 is one of those bands who changed the music industry, not only are they amazing musicians and lyricists, they are advocates for numerous charities and are outspoken against AIDS/HIV, poverty and hunger in our world.  They are also deeply spiritual and many of their songs clearly speak to the struggle of man dealing with the world around him and faith - be it in a Heavenly being or simply in mankind. U2 started the ONE campaign and Bono is currently the ambassador for the Millennium Development Goals (part of the United Nations)

One of my favorite U2 songs is "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" - it speaks to my constant struggle with knowing God's plan for me and that feeling of knowing there is something more out there... (how fitting that the video was filmed in "Sin City"!)





I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...


Other favorites include "Beautiful Day", "Pride (In the Name of Love)" and "Walk On". 





One of the coolest video's is "Where The Streets Have No Name." U2 filmed their video on top of liquor store in downtown LA freaking the police out and drawing fans in to watch by the hundreds.   :)
