With or Without You "With or Without You" is a song by rock band U2. It is the third track from their 1987 album, The Joshua Tree, and was released as the album's first single on 21 March 1987. The song was the group's most successful single at the time, becoming their first number-one hit in the both the United States and Canada by topping the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and the RPM national singles chart for one week. "With or Without You" features sustained guitar parts played by guitarist The Edge, along with vocals by lead singer Bono and a bassline by bassist Adam Clayton. The song originated from a demo recorded in late 1985 that the group continued to work on throughout The Joshua Tree sessions. Ostensibly a troubled love song, the track's lyrics were inspired by Bono's conflicting feelings about the lives he led as a musician and domestic man. Critics praised the song upon its release. It is frequently performed on the band's tours, and it has appeared on a number of their compilation albums and concert films. "With or Without You" is U2's second most frequently covered song. In 2010, Rolling Stone magazine placed the song at number 132 on their list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". SEE THE STONE SET IN YOUR EYES. AND YOU GIVE, AND YOU GIVE, SEE THE THORN TWIST IN YOUR SIDE. AND YOU GIVE YOURSELF AWAY. AND I WAIT FOR YOU. MY HANDS ARE TIED. SLEIGHT OF HAND AND TWIST OF FATE, MY BODY BRUISED, SHE´S GOT ME WITH ON A BED OF NAILS SHE MAKES ME WAIT, NOTHING TO WIN AND AND I WAIT WITHOUT YOU. NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE. WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, AND YOU GIVE YOURSELF AWAY… WITH OR WITHOUT YOU. WITH OR WITHOUT YOU… THROUGH THE STORM WE REACH THE SHORE. YOU GIVE IT ALL BUT I WANT MORE. AND I´M WAITING FOR YOU. WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, WITH OR WITHOUT YOU. I CAN´T LIVE , WITH OR WITHOUT YOU. AND YOU GIVE YOURSELF AWAY, AND YOU GIVE YOURSELF AWAY, Bilingüal Proyect. Music Department. I.E.S. López-Neyra. .

PSCI 11 the Gospel According to U2 Winter Study 2008
PSCI 11 The Gospel According to U2 Winter Study 2008 Professor Darel E. Paul PSCI 11 Stetson g19 Griffin 6 597-2327 TWR 10am-noon [email protected] Office Hrs.: Mondays 2:00pm - 4:00pm and by appointment Course Description It has been said that U2 is the "world's greatest rock band" – but is it also (unknown to most) the world's greatest – and most unusual – Christian rock band? This course explores the theology, spirituality and politics of U2 expressed through the group's songs, stage performances and human right campaigns. We will travel from the band's origins in the Shalom Christian Fellowship in Dublin to their overtly Christian second album October (1981); the culmination of their superstardom in Joshua Tree (1987); through their techno and ultra-ironic 1990s marked by Zoo-TV, PopMart and Bono's "mock the devil" phase as Mr. MacPhisto; and a return to their roots in All That You Can't Leave Behind (2000) and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (2004). Along the way, we will listen to a lot of U2, watch some videos and tour footage – but it's not all fun and games. We will also read serious theological and philosophical tracts on U2 lyrics and explore the band's complicated interweaving of faith, sexuality, grace, fame, doubt, justice, and the meaning of America in a way which makes them a surprisingly popular and poignant spiritual voice in our superficial and materialistic age. We will also delve into the group's human rights and social justice work, from Band Aid in the ‘80s to (Product)RED today, and in particular explore Bono's Christian social justice moorings.

It’s most often an honest question from both colleagues and non-teachers alike, though sometimes the latter’s fascination with “summers off” borders on an obsession. Still, in whatever form, the question still comes: “What do you have planned for the summer?” Even though I answer this question more assuredly as a college teacher than I did as a high school teacher, this year I find myself fishing for an answer that will satisfy.

Joshua Tree”--U2 (1987) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Stephen Catanzarite (Guest Post)*
“The Joshua Tree”--U2 (1987) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Stephen Catanzarite (guest post)* Original album cover Original label The band Across four studio albums, beginning with their 1980 debut, “Boy,” the Irish rock band U2 created a signature sound and built an adoring international fan base, delivering spiritual (and increasingly political) songs and live performances brimming with the irrational exuberance of youth. But it was their fifth studio album, 1987’s “The Joshua Tree,” that cemented the band’s iconic status. The astonishing success of “The Joshua Tree” may, in retrospect, seem to have been inevitable. A critically-acclaimed work that has sold more than 25 million copies, produced two chart-topping singles, and inspired not one but two of the highest-grossing concert tours ever, it’s become ingrained in the popular imagination--particularly in America, the country whose myths, legends, and ideals inspired its creation. Yet, at the time of its release, “The Joshua Tree” bloomed in stark contrast to the pop music landscape that surrounded it. In an era when popular culture gleefully celebrated unabashed materialism and professed a credo of “greed is good,” here was an album that seemed to herald asceticism as ideal. Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn’s austere cover photos present the band’s members (singer Bono, guitarist the Edge, bassist Adam Clayton, and drummer Larry Mullen Jr.), as four modern-day sons of the Desert Fathers, casting wary eyes upon the Day-Glo fashions, big hair silliness, and conspicuous consumption that epitomized the times. Taking its title from the hardy desert plant native to the more arid portions of the American southwest (which was itself named by early Mormon missionaries who saw in it the Old Testament image of Joshua raising his hands to the sky in prayer), “The Joshua Tree” represented all of the things most of U2’s contemporaries renounced: earnestness, austerity, and introspection.

DOMENICA RUTA, with Or Without You —DAVID GATES
“The detective quality of this strong memoir is both maddening and fascinating. The reader is made to feel what it’s like to be de- nied answers in an essential search.” —AMY HEMPEL, Sing to It “Atlantis Black was—is?—an extraordinary woman whose descent into madness will leave you spellbound and heartbroken. Betsy Bonner writes with the precision of a poet and the courage of a survivor. I could not put this book down.” —DOMENICA RUTA, With or Without You “Scrappy and queer, charismatic and enigmatic, the young musician who reinvented herself as Atlantis Black left behind a haunting archive that complicates rather than resolves the narrative of her vibrant, troubled life. In this beautiful exploration of her sister’s life and disappearance, Betsy Bonner has crafted a terse, urgent page- turner that is equally ode, elegy, and mystery.” —CHELSEY JOHNSON, Stray City “Her manic, self-destructive sister wanted to be famous, but it took Betsy Bonner’s literary gifts to make her a rock star on the page. In mournful, meticulous—and sometimes wryly funny—prose, The Book of Atlantis Black gives us an unforgettable portrait of an im- possible yet compelling young woman taken down by her own de- mons, and fighting every step of the way.” —DAVID GATES, A Hand Reached Down to Guide Me the book of atlantis black the book of atlantis black THE SEARCH FOR A SISTER GONE MISSING A MEMOIR BY BETSY BONNER ∏IN HOUSE / Portland, Oregon Copyright © 2020 Betsy Bonner All rights reserved.

Vaughan S. Roberts Music Review: U2, The Joshua Tree and Two Contrary States of Faith “The Joshua Tree Thirtieth Anniversary Tour”, Twickenham Stadium, GB: Sunday, 9 July 2017 We cross dirt roads and highways that mark the will of some one and then others, who said I need to see what’s on the other side. I know there’s something better down the road. We need to find a place where we are safe. We walk into that which we cannot yet see. Elizabeth Alexander, “Praise Song for the Day” So the hands that build Can also pull down The hands of love U2, “Exit” Fig. 1 “Praise Song for the Day” on screen, Twickenham, 9 July 2017. www.jrfm.eu 2018, 4/1, 111–116 Review: The Joshua Tree | 111 DOI: 10.25364/05.4:2018.1.9 BREAKING THROUGH The Joshua Tree (1987) is a record of U2’s discovery of America and, in a real sense, the Thirtieth Anniversary Tour was a road trip from the 1980s rerun three decades later. It began in Vancouver on 12 May 2017 and concluded in Sao Paolo on 25 October 2017. The centrepiece of each show featured the band playing The Joshua Tree (1987), frequently described as U2’s “breakthrough” album, in order and in its entirety. The concerts most often began with four songs released before The Joshua Tree: “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, “New Year’s Day”, “Bad” and “Pride”. These were followed by the eleven tracks of The Joshua Tree1 and two encores (or one extended encore) including popular songs from the band’s more recent work and, as the tour progressed, some tracks from their next album, Songs of Experi- ence (2017).

Difficulties in English-Polish Translation of U2 Lyrics
PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION AND TRANSLATION STUDIES 2008 135 DIFFICULTIES IN ENGLISH-POLISH TRANSLATION OF U2 LYRICS Mariusz WOLANSKI Polonia University in Cz~stochowa U2 lyrics present different aspects of human life; of which love comes to the foreground. " One" is the song that has been played by U2 at every concert for 15 years, deeply moving crowds of spectators. There are two meanings of the song. The first one can be interpreted as a conversation between the young man, who is dying of AIDS, and his father. Father does not accept his son's lifestyle and is not able to forgive him. This interpretation illustrates the need to put a blame on somebody else. The son has a chance to vent his frustration and fury caused by his father's attitude. Despite deep-rooted prejudices, his father tries to come to terms with him. In this context the song" One" can be considered as discussion about intolerance to AIDS victims and sexual minorities. The key point is that although we are not the same, we live in the same world. Thus, we have to help each other: One love, one blood, one life With each other, Sisters, Brothers One life, but we're not the same We got to carry each other One ... The second meaning of the song is more universal. It can be interpreted as a song about unhappy love. Here, the man addresses the woman. There was a time when a strong feeling of love joined them together. Nowadays, they cannot understand each other: Well it's too late, tonight To drag the past out into the light Where love used to rule, there remained bitterness and emptiness: You gave me nothing Now it's alii got The feeling disappeared and the couple cannot forget the mistakes committed in the past: Will it make it easier on you Now you got someone to blame Reading the Poiish translation of the song" One ", I have noticed that the second meaning is more significant and, at the same time, universal.
