By no means am I a political activist, but this song has always struck a chord with me. Bono has always been a love of mine and this song is just one of many that made me fall for the man. The song was written with the intent of peace and bringing attention to a terrible tragedy that occurred in Derry, Northern Ireland in 1972. It's not a song to incite war, but rather to ask for peace and understanding. I'm sure that another of their songs will show up this year, but for today, this is the one that stuck out. I was just listening to this song for inspiration, trying to figure out what exactly to say about it, and he said "You know, I don't even get why Sunday is so bloody, I don't understand." 20 minutes later of Irish history ranting later, he gets it, I think. The biggest thing I can point out is that, if you're given more than you need, you should use it for good, and not for more... bling.
