I haven’t been a huge fan of modern-day U2. I miss the more inspiring, mysterious, and just classic stuff from the 80’s and 90’s.
Still, some of their later-day songs creep up and get you — especially if someone else performs them. π€·π»ββοΈ
For instance, Transient has done some really fresh remakes of U2 songs. They finally helped me appreciate the following song from 2000’s All That You Can’t Leave Behind, which I originally thought was, uh, pretty boring, but now see the beauty in it.
Thank you, Transient. π
And the lyrics are perfect for someone who needs a little kick in the butt.
I never thought you were a fool But darling, look at you You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight These tears are going nowhere baby
You’ve got to get yourself together You’ve got stuck in a moment And now you can’t get out of it Don’t say that later will be better Now you’re stuck in a moment And you can’t get out of it
