| U2 – New Year's Day Lyrics | 10 years ago |

@[CroneCircus:4315] Whatever "forcefed the Civil Rights Movement" means, it sounds like it involves the History of the United States, which sounds more valuable for American citizens than the history of the Great Patriotic War. Your several references to the "whiteness" of the Eastern Front seem to betray your ignorance of three other seasons that occur in Russia. Barbarossa, Braunschweig and Zitadelle all began in June, hardly a month that white camouflage would have been useful. What is the meaning of "New Year's Day?" The name of the song appears to have a pivotal relationship to its meaning. It is an anti-war song, whether that war is WW2, Viet-Nam or the various wars in Northern Ireland. New Year's Day and "we can be one" are references to the anti-war ideal that we are all people who can "begin again" and the subsequent period will begin with a new day. Ultimately, he is cynical about how "nothing changes on New Year's Day." |
