MUSIC WORLD 4315 MUSIC WORLD 4315 “MEOW MEOW TAKES THE BURLESQUE SEXUALITY THING AND BRINGS IT TO ANOTHER FUCKING LEVEL.” It was Gary Sheehan, programmer with the NCH, and musical director Terry Edwards that persuaded Friday to sign on. “They asked would I be interested in doing Brecht and I’m always interested in that,” he states, emphatically. “They said we have an interesting cast. Ute Lemper, one of the great chanson interpreters of Brecht and Weill, and Blixa Bargeld of Einstürzende Neubauten and The Bad Seeds who I know from my punk days. With a cast like that, it was never going to be a from U2 then? Meow Meow takes the burlesque sexuality simple case of getting up and singing the songs. “Some of it, yeah. I mean Yes!” he laughs. “I’m thing and brings it to another fucking level. “It’s very theatrical, and with the calibre of one of their creative friends, but I think everyone Eric Mingus – son of Charles – is a phenomenal these extraordinary musicians, you’re going to knows that.

U2 Goes Across the Threshold with Bespoke Pop Art @U2 Home Page - U2 News, Lyrics, Tour Dates & More
9/11/2020 U2 Goes Across The Threshold With Bespoke Pop Art @U2 Home Page - U2 News, Lyrics, Tour Dates & more https://www.atu2.com SOUNDBYTE: "When people ask us what our influences are, we always say, 'Each other.'" — Bono U2 GOES ACROSS THE THRESHOLD WITH BESPOKE POP ART @U2 May 08, 2018by Scott Calhoun U2's new four-minute music video for "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me," featured as the concert intermission on the Experience + Innocence tour, is a most-welcome, highly entertaining update of their original music video released in 1995. The song itself, which U2 started composing in 1993, is an homage to Harry Noble's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me," written in 1952 and recorded by many female artists since, though Mel Carter’s 1965 recording is the best-known version. U2 amped up the sinister in its 1995 version to connect it with the movie Batman Forever, but when reading Noble’s lyrics from 1952, I nd enough tinges of the creepy -- made even more disturbing when performed, as it always has been, as an earnest, impassioned love song -- to indicate the darker path U2 followed. (Noble wrote: They told me, "Be sensible with your new love" / "Don't be fooled, thinking this is the last you'll nd" / But they never stood in the dark with you, love / When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind ... Hold me, hold me / Never let me go until you've told me, told me / What I want to know and then just hold me, hold me / Make me tell you I'm in love with you") U2's new 2018 video, dubbed "Innocence And Experience: The Heroes' Journey," is just about one of the nest specimens of what the U2 creative team can cook up when it makes pop art.

With Or Without You Free
FREE WITH OR WITHOUT YOU PDF Carole Matthews | 432 pages | 27 Mar 2014 | Little, Brown Book Group | 9780751551518 | English | London, United Kingdom U2 > Discography > Singles > With or Without You It is the third track on their fifth studio album, The Joshua With or Without Youand was released as the album's lead single on 16 March The song was the group's most successful single at the time, becoming their first number-one hit in both the United States and Canada by topping the Billboard Hot for three weeks and the RPM national singles chart for one week, with a further three weeks at number two. The song originated from a demo recorded in late that the group continued to work on throughout The Joshua Tree sessions. Ostensibly a troubled With or Without You 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 many of their compilation albums and concert films. With or Without You lateU2 convened at a house that drummer Larry Mullen Jr. During this time, a rough demo of "With or Without You" was written, with lead vocalist With or Without You composing the song's chord sequence. Guitarist the Edge considered the song at that point to be "awful". The group attempted to take the song in a different direction, although Bono was reluctant. Bono and his friend Gavin Friday continued to work on the song after Lanois and Eno declined to do so.
