| U2 – Drowning Man Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
interesting comments about Adam. This is actually my favourite u2 song - and I have them all! Saw them for my first time in 1983 in the Phoenix Park in Dublin. Anyway, U2 were on the Irish "Late Late Show", the worlds longest running chat show, and they were asked to name their favourite U2 songs....Adam said drowning man (btw Edge said Running to stand still, cant remember what bono and larry said). I thought nothing about what Adam said at the time but he said it with such certainty that it now makes perfect sense. |

| guys, like an earlier post ita bout the rigours of modern life. "dont let the bastards drag you down" is not christian nor disrepectful just business as usual for all of you living in Ireland, like me. One of U2's best and one that after all this time I still listen to all the time. Magnifico. | |
| U2 – Running To Stand Still Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| ok I may be able to settle this. I live in Dublin and 7 years ago had a girlfriend who was the elder daughter of a famous Irish film director. Some of you may be able to work out who it was. Anyway - and this is 100% true - I met Bono on approx 15 occasions. I did ask him about many U2 songs, being a huge fan, and most of which he didnt really share anything about but he did about Running to stand Still and a few others. He said, and I swear I do not lie, it is about drug addiction in the Ballymun flats (the seven towers). It is a song about despair and the drug addiction that gripped Ireland in the 1980's. Just thought I would settle this with admittedly off the cuff remarks from the horses mouth. | |
