Another standout song from U2’s most recent “surprise” ep is “Scars.” It kind of begins the more “Easter-y” heart of the collection. Listen to it (and watch the lyric video) and you’ll hear and see why. In other news, I … Continue reading
Catching a Glimpse
U2 has released two eps over the last few weeks, with the first dropping on Ash Wednesday (titled Songs of Ash) and the second on Good Friday (titled Easter Lily). The albums are quite different from one another, with the … Continue reading
Believing and Beseeching
Not sure how I missed this, but I did. U2 just remastered and released How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb in celebration of its 20th anniversary. And it also shared a number of unreleased singles from that window of time. … Continue reading

Like Yesterday, but with Better Resolution
Looks like U2 will be dropping more goodies between now and the 20th anniversary re-release of All That You Can’t Leave Behind. Here’s a cleaned up clip of the band performing “Beautiful Day” from Boston in 2001. The heart-shaped stage … Continue reading
