I Will Follow (1980)

U2TOURFANS July 7, 2009

I Will Follow (1980)

This peppy 1980s tune, released on the Boy album, is still as fresh today as when it debuted nearly three decades ago. The song is charged with Edge's gritty guitar riffs and a pounding drum beat by Larry Mullen, Jr., still played with the intensity of an 18 year old. According to Bono, the lyrics are about the unconditional love between mother (or God) and child. Whatever the child does, whatever his or her faults, a mother (or God) still loves her child.

I will follow...

I was on the outside when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think he starts to cry
Oh why

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...i will follow

I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found

Walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...i will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway,
I walkaway, walkaway...i will follow
I will follow

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
Your eyes, your eyes...

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway..i will follow

If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...i will follow

I will follow
I will follow...

The stories behind U2

U2TOURFANS July 6, 2009

September 1976: A 14-year-old drummer posts a notice at school that he's looking to start a band. Rehearsals are held in his parent's kitchen in Dublin, and The Larry Mullen Band is born.

U2's Boy album contained hits like
"I Will Follow" and "Out of Control."

The name didn't last, but more than 30 years and 22 Grammys later, the band, which would eventually be called U2, has proven it has what it takes to stay on top.

The keys to U2's longevity include respect for each other and their fans; the ability to continuously reinvent themselves and their musical style; and powerful music with a message.

But the meanings of most U2 songs are subject to interpretation. Bono is a genius at writing ambiguous lyrics, allowing listeners to decide what each song means to them. Read on to take a musical journey with the band that Time magazine once named "Rock's Hottest Ticket."

Barcelona Day 2

U2TOURFANS July 2, 2009

U2 played their second night of the 360 tour in Barcelona.

U2TOURFANS July 2, 2009

U2 played their second night of the 360 tour in Barcelona. From what we have heard less people in queue( we are guessing it was because of the heat) and getting to the front of the stage was easier. The sound check included Electrical Storm and both the remix and album versions of Crazy Tonight. Reports came in that 30 minutes before the show there is no sight of Bono’s monitor.

It quickly becomes apparent U2 have come to ROCK. Surprise after surprise emerges from the stage: Desire, Party Girl and the big fan favourite ‘Electrical Storm’ sees its live debut. Then they really put the crazy in Crazy Tonight, playing *BOTH* the remix and the album version. The album version, which came during the second encore, was filmed. Perhaps a video for its single release.
