This week, inbetween coding, I’ve enjoyed listening to U2’s album from 1991 – Achtung Baby. I always knew the band existed, but never paid much attention. Their work keeps coming up though among many of the bloggers I read so I thought I’d give ’em a shot. The Joshua Tree (their only other album I was familiar with) is a good from the get go. This one took me a few listens before I started to like parts of it.<\/p>\n
Bono’s delivery is everything. It’s so full of emotion. I took a break from it the other day and popped in some Sting. Whoa. He sounded like he was half asleep!<\/p>\n
There’s not a ton to say, but it’s worth posting this section from the song Acrobat.<\/p>\n
And I must be an acrobat
\nTo talk like this
\nAnd act like that
\nAnd you can dream
\nSo dream out loud
\nAnd you can find
\nYour own way out
\nYou can build
\nAnd I can will
\nAnd you can call
\nI can’t wait until
\nYou can stash
\nAnd you can seize
\nIn dreams begin
\nResponsibilities
\nAnd I can love
\nAnd I can love
\nAnd I know that the tide is turning ’round
\nSo don’t let the bastards grind you down<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This week, inbetween coding, I’ve enjoyed listening to U2’s album from 1991 – Achtung Baby.
