All i want is you lyrics u2 Continue September 1976: A 14-year-old drummer posts a message at the school that he wants to start a band. Rehearsals are held at the parent's kitchen in Dublin, and the Larry Mullen Band is born. The title didn't last, but more than 30 years and 22 Grammys later, the band, which will eventually be called U2, proved that it has what it takes to stay on top. The Keys to Longevity U2 advertisements include respect for each other and their fans; the ability to constantly reinvent yourself and your musical style; and powerful music with a message. But the meanings of most U2 songs are subject to interpretation. Bono is a genius in writing ambiguous lyrics, allowing listeners to decide what each song means to them. Read on to take a musical journey with a band that Time magazine once called Rock's Hottest Ticket. Content This 1980s peppy tune released on Boy's album is still as fresh today as when it debuted nearly three decades ago. The song is charged with rattlesnake guitar riffs by the Edge and a drum beat by Larry Mullen Jr., who still played with the intensity of an 18-year-old girl. According to Bono, the lyrics are about unconditional love between a mother (or God) and a child. Whatever the child does, whatever its flaws, the mother (or God) still loves her child. Advertising Another toe-tapper from Boy, Out of Control has the distinction of being the first song the boys heard played on the radio. Bono wrote the lyrics in the hours of the morning after his eighteenth birthday. The room was quite big and comfortable. A song about birth - or rather a denial against it - and the feeling that you have no control over your life. Advertising No, this isn't the cover of Irishman Van Morrison's 1960s hit. This one comes from the U2 sophomore album, October, which was heavy with references to religion and spirituality. Bono said he struggled to write the lyrics, so he turned it into a psalm, complete with Latin verses. The music is quite edgy given the subject matter, making it a classic U2. Advertising Most U2 texts are quite heavy. But with Tomorrow, since October, Bono has really spoken heartily. When he was 14, his mother suffered a brain haemorrhth at his father's funeral and died a few days later. Bono later stated that melancholy texts to Tomorrow were a description of her funeral. Advertising from War album, Sunday Bloody Sunday is a powerhouse in the U2 canon, performed on every major tour since its debut. This is the classic U2 protest song about trouble in Northern Ireland. Larry's militaristic drums and The Edge's abrasive guitar lead the song, while Bono's powerful lyrics cry out : How long, how long should we sing this song? The song, which reached the seventh 4 7 era in billboard mainstream rock in the 1980s, it has now become a global plea to end the violence that threatens the world today. Advertising This song, inspired by the solidarity movement in Poland, reached the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart on January 2. It was also the first U2 clip to get a major airing on MTV, giving the band exposure to be named Rolling Stone's Band of the Eighties in just two years. During live shows, the Edge takes control of this song, playing guitar and keyboard in parts at the same time, as well as singing backup vocals. Also from War, Bono is based on the lyrics of this bass song on Psalm 40. Although the song was only released in Germany, it is a fan favorite that has often been used to close the show. When the show ends at 40, the Edge guitarist and bassist Adam Clayton switches instruments, and the band members leave the stage one by one - first Bono, Adam, then the Edge, leaving Larry alone on stage to perform a short (but kickin') drum solo as fans sing the chorus. The advertisement, released on The Unforgettable Fire, this song about Jesus (one man betrayed with a kiss) and Martin Luther King Jr., reached two grades on billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. Bono gave his entire record pride, shouting lyrics from deep down his soul. But don't rely on Bono for a history lesson; the lyrics of the song with reference to Dr. King (Early morning, April 4 / Shot rings in the sky of Memphis . .) is wrong - King was actually killed around 6:00 p.m. Bono has since realized his mistake and is now singing Early Night, April 4 in live shows. Advertising from The Unforgettable Fire album, Bad has never been released as a single, but it's a fan favorite who sometimes shuts down the show. As always, the lyrics are subject to much debate, but according to Bono, the song is about drug addiction, particularly heroin, which ran rampant in Dublin in the early 1980s and took on one of his friends. Ever the perfectionist, Bono feels the song could have been better had he finished it. Most fans think it's a masterpiece as it stands. Advertising This perpetual crowdfunding, released on Grammy Award-winning album The Joshua Tree, was U2's first number one song in America. Some feel that the song is about Jesus (see the thorny twist in your side); others think it's about romantic love and longing for someone you can't be with. The song is brutal with symbolism, both in lyrics and in music. Adam's bass is a pulse. Larry's drums are heartbeats. The Edge guitar chords represent the agony of a broken heart. And Bono's voice and the haunting lyrics are the personification of love and love and agony of unrecognised love. When his voice screams, you know he's not just reciting words, but really feeling the pain of loving someone he can't be with . and you feel this pain with it. No double value here -- U2's A song to the top U.S. charts, I still haven't found what I'm looking for, is a gospel song about finding and understanding your spiritual beliefs. U2 even took a gospel choir with them to sing backup vocals during the Joshua Tree tour. Bono often says he's not happy with some of his recorded lyrics, so he tends to rewrite them during live performances. For example, the original lyric: You broke ties/And you unleashed the chains/nose cross of my shame/Oh my shame. now singing: You broke ties / And you loosened the chains / carried the cross / Took my shame / You took the blame . The change is always so minor, but makes the song much deeper and more meaningful. Even though Streets hasn't broken the top ten in the States, it's a fan favorite often used to open the show on The Joshua Tree tour. The lyrics were inspired by a trip by Bono and his wife, who were selected to Ethiopia in the mid-1980s, during which they volunteered to participate in a refugee orphanage. With characteristic Edge scratch chords, Larry's enthusiasm for drummer and Adam's deep bass holding it all together, even the band admits it's much better to live. With Desire, released as the first single from the album Rattle and Hum, Bono parodies and criticizes evangelical preachers, politicians and greed rooted in America's 1980s landscape. But the lyrics may also have a more carnal translation. In any case, the song became a hit, reaching the first gaul on the Billboard Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts. The song also won a Grammy for best rock performance, and it was U2's first song to reach the top of the charts in the UK. With Angel of Harlem, U2 raised another number on billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. Recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis, elvis Cowboy's legendary music engineer Jack Clement put on this, and it was all captured on it in rattle and hum. the song chronicles the band's arrival in America for their first tour in 1980 (It was a cold and humid December day / When we touched the ground at JFK . ..). It is also a tribute to Billy Holiday, the Angel of Harlem. Bono said all I want is you, from Rattle and Hum, dedicated to his wife, Ali. Poetic and symbolic texts describe his desire for true, unconditional love, and the promises his lover makes show the depth of her feelings. The song closed the film Rattle and Hum, and much to the surprise of fans (because it rarely closes a live show), it was the last song played on the Vertigo tour when it closed the show in Honolulu in December 2006. In the 1990s, U2 took a new musical direction, trying to chop Joshua's Tree by reinventing itself with a funker, more experimental sound on the album Achtung Baby. It must have worked because the Mysterious Ways, powered by The Eja's abrasive guitar riffs and Bono's enigmatic lyrics, U2 is another number one on both the Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock Billboard charts. Fans disagree with the song's content - some feel it's deeply spiritual, with references to John the Baptist, while others believe the lyrics are more sexy in nature, while others just think it's a funky dance groove. Such a simple name, such a powerful lyric. Tensions were high during Achtung Baby's record, and the group was reportedly on the verge of breaking.

    “Until That Song Is Born”: an Ethnographic Investigation of Teaching and Learning Among Collaborative Songwriters in Nashville

    “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Music Education—Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill With the intent of informing the practice of music educators who teach songwriting in K– 12 and college/university classrooms, the purpose of this research is to examine how professional songwriters in Nashville, Tennessee—one of songwriting’s professional “hubs”—teach and learn from one another in the process of engaging in collaborative songwriting. This study viewed songwriting as a form of “situated learning” (Lave & Wenger, 1991) and “situated practice” (Folkestad, 2012) whose investigation requires consideration of the professional culture that surrounds creative activity in a specific context (i.e., Nashville). The following research questions guided this study: (1) How do collaborative songwriters describe the process of being inducted to, and learning within, the practice of professional songwriting in Nashville, (2) What teaching and learning behaviors can be identified in the collaborative songwriting processes of Nashville songwriters, and (3) Who are the important actors in the process of learning to be a collaborative songwriter in Nashville, and what roles do they play (e.g., gatekeeper, mentor, role model)? This study combined elements of case study and ethnography. Data sources included observation of co-writing sessions, interviews with songwriters, and participation in and observation of open mic and writers’ nights.
  • Martin Cloonan Introduction an Attack on the Idea of America

    Martin Cloonan Introduction an Attack on the Idea of America

    MUSICAL RESPONSES TO SEPTEMBER 11TH: FROM CONSERVATIVE PATRIOTISM TO RADICALISM Martin Cloonan Introduction I want to propose something very simple in this paper: that the attacks which took place on 11 September 2001 were attacks on the very idea of America. This is not a new idea. It was cited by the New York Times soon after the attack and subsequently by the cultural critic Greil Marcus (2002). But what I want to add is that as time went on it became clear that the mu- sical responses which were made were defences of America. However, there were not uniform responses, but diverse ones and that is partly be- cause the idea of America is not settled, but is open to contestation. So what I want to do in the rest of this paper is to first examine notion that the attacks on 11 September were an attack on the idea of America, look briefly at the importance of identity within popular music, chart initial musical reactions to the events and then look at longer term reactions. An attack on the idea of America The attacks on 11 September were strategically chosen to hit the symbols of America as well as the reality of it. The Twin Towers symbolised American economic power, the Pentagon its military might. This was an attack on the psyche of America as well as its buildings and people. Both the targets were attacked for propaganda purposes as much as military ones. What more devastating way could have been found to show rejection of America and all it stands for? But the point I want to note here is that America itself is a contested notion.

Abstract In today’s pop culture world, celebrities are seen as perfect individuals with grand houses, cars, and entourages. When Chris Brown came on the scene in the mid-2000s, he was a teenage heartthrob who could do no wrong. That all changed when he brutally beat fellow music superstar and then girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. Brown’s media persona came crashing down, along with seemingly everything else in his life. However, in a situation where many artists would normally descend and never return, Brown has surged back almost to the heights he reached prior to 2009. How did this happen? What does the role of the music industry play in this? The norms and tendencies of the popular music industry are examined to determine the external factors that both hindered and helped Brown’s changes in reputation (and by extension, record sales) over time.
  • Paul Mccartney, 1980-1999

    Paul Mccartney, 1980-1999

    Paul McCartney from Wings through the 90's McCartney II Columbia FC‐36511 May 21, 1980 About ten years after recording McCartney by himself, Paul got several songs together and recorded them‐‐again alone‐‐on somewhat of a lark. Then Paul embarked on his ill‐fated 1980 tour of Japan (which resulted in his being jailed for drug possession). After returning to the safety of his own home, he was urged to release the album, and he did. The album contrasts well with McCartney, for this second production contains numerous instruments and electronic tricks that were not present on the 1970 release. Side One is particularly interesting. The solo version of "Coming Up" is followed by the fun track, "Temporary Secretary" (released as a single in England). The almost‐lament, "On the Way," is then succeeded by "Waterfalls," Paul's second (US) single from the album. "Bogey Music," from Side Two, is also a standout. John Lennon heard a song from McCartney II and thought that Paul sounded sad. When the album was released in the US, a bonus one‐sided single ‐‐ the hit version of "Coming Up"‐‐was included with the LP. This hit was enough to propel the album to the #3 position on the charts, during a time when disco was now on the wane. "Waterfalls" Columbia 1‐11335 Jul. 22, 1980 The lovely ballad about protectiveness was one of the standouts from McCartney II. After "Coming Up," it received the most airplay and the most positive response from Paul's friends. As a single, though, the song fared poorly, only reaching #83...one of Paul's worst showings to date.

Denver, Colorado Editor-in-Chief, Entertainment Law & Finance Author, Baby You’re a Rich Man: Suing The Beatles for Fun & Profit Associate Professor, Music & Entertainment Industry Studies University of Colorado Denver Campus Box 162, P.O. Box 173364 Denver, CO 80217-3364 303-556-4066 [email protected] www.stansoocher.com Celebrities, with deep pockets and media spotlights, are natural lightning rods for litigation. The Beatles were a prime example of artists suing and being sued. The band’s most important legacy, of course, was their music, and influence on cultural and sociological changes. But few celebrities encountered as many legal disputes as did the Beatles. Many of the legal issues the Beatles faced were forerunners for today’s music industry. From early issues with crowd control as Beatlemania took hold in the United Kingdom in 1963 and the United States in 1964, to disputes over merchandising, management, intra-band rights, sound recordings, music publishing, copyright infringement, immigration, taxes and more, the Beatles faced—and continued to face long after they broke up—an array of issues that reflected where the music industry was headed. My recent book Baby You’re a Rich Man: Suing The Beatles for Fun & Profit (ForeEdge/University Press of New England) takes a close-up, investigative look at some of these concerns, as did a chapter from a prior book I wrote, They Fought the Law: Rock Music Goes to Court, that focused on the Beatles’ long-running music royalty battle with Capitol-EMI Records.

    1 Playlist July 31st, 2016 2 9AM The Beatles - All I’ve Got to Do – With The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Written entirely by John Lennon and introduced to the other Beatles at the session at which it was recorded, The Beatles never played the song again. Lennon has said this soulful ballad was his attempt at making a Smokey Robinson song. Recorded on September 11, 1963 in 14 takes with an overdub (presumably George’s introductory guitar chord) becoming “take 15” and the finished version. “All I’ve Got to Do” marked a rare instance in which John’s lead vocal was not double-tracked. On U.S. album: Meet The Beatles! - Capitol LP The Beatles - Money (That’s What I Want) – With The Beatles (Bradford-Gordy) Lead vocal: John Originally recorded by Barrett Strong and released as a single on Motown’s Tamla and Anna labels in 1959 and 1960 respectively, peaking at #23 in 1960. It was a part of The Beatles’ live repertoire from 1960 to 1964. On July 18, 1963, the group, with George Martin on piano, performed the song live in the studio -- vocals and all -- for six full takes, the final take being deemed the best. Although The Beatles involvement with the 3 recorded track lasted this one day, George Martin continued to add overdubs and tinker with his piano part until the song was completed to his satisfaction on September 30, 1963. On U.S. album: The Beatles’ Second Album - Capitol LP The Beatles - I Should Have Known Better - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Following their triumphant visit to America The Beatles were thrust back to work.

    Ease by Ryan Del Rosario Persons Narrator THE FATHER THE SON Scene 1.1: Inside the Father’s house. NARRATOR: All of the doors in the house have matching doorknobs except this one. A man walks to the end of the hallway, past a few bedrooms, and reaches for his keys. He only has three keys, one for his car, one for the house, and this one. Behind him, is a young boy – “young man” as he prefers it. The man inserts a key, into the old brass knob, rattling it a few times till it opens. FATHER: [He peers into a room lit only by what’s left of the day’s light.] Gosh has it really been that long? [He sees his guitars exactly where he last left them. The strings once pulled tight, like the spine that keeps his mother standing, has since slackened. His drum kit remains untouched since the last time he was in the room – one stick on the floor underneath the snare and the other driven straight through the head of a tom-tom, stuck in place.] SON: [Taking in his surroundings.] Dad did you not get this room painted with the rest of the house a few years ago? FATHER: [He looks around, noticing cobwebs in the corners of the room.] Ah, no son. I uh…this room has been locked…anyways, son, I wanted to show you something. [He searches through a dusty old shelf. He pulls out an old cardboard sleeve that reads “Shake/A Change is Gonna Come.”] FATHER: [Hesitantly.] These…these are the records I played for your mom when we were dating.
