| U2 – The Hands That Built America Lyrics | 20 years ago |

I think the voyage from "freckled hills" to "steel & glass canyons" is about emigration from Ireland to the USA (specifically NYC). I remember reading an interview somewhere that the lyrics re: Sept. do refer to 9/11. |

| U2 – City of Blinding Lights Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I thought advertising in the skies referred to something like the blimps that fly over stadiums at night all lit up w/advertising. I like the Time bit because it's about holding onto to the good part of naivete (the idealism) as time changes you. I love this song. Right after I first got the cd, I was driving home from Brooklyn one night as it was playing & I could see the harbor and the city lights. |
