U2 is one of my favorite bands that I enjoy listening to. I found interest in U2 because my family is a huge fan of them and it eventually grew on me. One of the songs that I love is called "When The Stars Go Blue". It is a beautiful song and the beat is mesmerizing. The song is also quite romantic and I never get tired of listening to it.
In the beginning of the song, it is about dancing on the streets with wooden shoes in a wedding gown."Dancing where the stars go blue/Dancing where the evening fell/Dancing in your wooden shoes/In a wedding gown." Right away, the song is already filled with love. This is a dreamy picture when I imagine the lyrics in reality.
There is a part in the lyrics where I find it standing out compared to the other words in the song. "Are you happy now?". I thought about this and I can relate to this. Everyone has gone through a relationship and they are both good and bad. Sometimes, we just have to really think about the life before us and the people in it. That is when we appreciate what we all have and realize that, yes, we are happy!
In the chorus, it says "Where do you go when you're lonely?/Where do you go when you're blue?." Again, this part makes us think about our lives and the people we care about. We look to the people we can depend on. When I feel down, I talk to my family about it because they are the people I can always rely on when I am stuck in any given situation. Whether it is a family member or a significant other, we all should understand that no matter what, we are not alone.

I think this was the song that my HS gym teacher used to play when we were in the weight room...
ReplyDeleteIt was supposed to motivate us, and it did actually grow on me as well...
But Bono...
I absolutely love this song. It really makes you think about life, love and the people you can go to for support during your hardest times.
ReplyDeleteI really like U2 as well! This is a really good song and I agree that it makes us think about the important people in our lives. There are always people that can support us and help us out when things are difficult. Sometimes in hard situations where it feels like nothing will work out we turn to our friends and family becasue they support and care about us no matter what.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this song! If you love it too, Bethany Joy Lenz and Tyler Hilton did a duet with it.. it is amazing as well! Good song choice :)
ReplyDeleteThis song is wonderful!!! After reading your blog, I heard this song online. It is really an perfect combination of melody and lyrics. Quite visual!!!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting points. I love how you talk about the fact that we're never alone. And I love U2!!!
ReplyDeleteThis song is pretty good. And does U2 still perform and travel?
ReplyDeleteI like how you point out the "are you happy now lyric," and say that sometimes you just have to realize you are happy. My mom always says, "happiness is a choice!" If you want to be happy you can do, which is a great thing to know.
ReplyDeleteI love this song! I have to agree with Rebecca here: the One Tree Hill version of this song is amazing. It's pretty high up there on my most played songs on iTunes.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard this particular song, but I love songs like this one. I think music is so powerful when it can sweep you away someplace.
ReplyDeleteYes, U2 does travel still! Their concerts are truly amazing because the light show they put on is one where you would not forget.
