U2

Este é um(dos muitos) momentos de inspiração dos U2. Ao ouvir esta banda, que nunca me cansa, lembro-me sempre de um tempo que já foi: de sonho, rebeldia e inconformidade- a adolescência. Era um tempo que quando ouvia With or without you ou Bad apaixonava-me por qualquer moça que vislumbrasse, quando ouvia Pride queria mundar o mundo, quando ouvia Where the streets have no name sentia-me com asas, quando ouvia The unforgettable fire estava no mundo onírico, quando ouvia One sentia que a vida era maravilhosa de ser vivida, quando ouvia...

A rítmica perfeita baixo-bateria, a guitarra etérea e a voz emotiva- não sei se é a melhor banda do mundo, mas provavelmente será aquela que mais me influenciou desde sempre. Espero que Larry Mullen Jr, Adam Clayton, Dave Evans (The Edge) e Paul Hewson (Bono Vox) me acompanhem para sempre, na sua música eterna.

Esta letra do Bono é simplesmente genial:

You're dangerous 'cause you're honest
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt

You're an accident waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass left in a beach
Well, you tell me things I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Well you stole it 'cause I needed the cash
And you killed it 'cause I wanted revenge
Well you lied to me 'cause I asked you to
Baby, can we still be friends?

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Oh, the deeper I spin
Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing at you and me
Hallelujah, heavens white rose
The doors you open
I just can't close

Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, your gypsy heart
Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, and don't look back
Come on now love, don't you look back!

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses?
Who's gonna take the place of me?

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna tame the heart of thee?

Who's gonna ride your wild horses in Achtung Baby
