想念愛爾蘭

這兩首歌分別收錄在最新&上一張專輯:
How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb-Nov 2004
All That You Can't Leave Behind-Oct 2000

(專輯封面，攝於法國戴高樂機場)

想試聽請按此：U2官網試聽

它們都是張力十足的動感歌曲，而且旋律簡單好記
因此可說是開場曲的不二之選

4年前U2巡迴演唱取名為Elevation Tour
4年後取名Vertigo Tour
可以說頗有承先啟後的味道...

之前我已寫了一篇有關Vertigo的文章：Limbo




以下是歌詞:
Vertigo (Lyrics)

Unos dos tres catorce!

Lights go down, it's dark
The jungle is your head
Can't rule your heart
A feeling is so much stronger than a thought
Your eyes are wide and though your soul
It can't be bought
Your mind can wander

Hello hello I'm at a place called Vertigo
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you give me something I can feel, feel

The night is full of holes
As bullets rip the sky of ink with gold
They twinkle as the boys play rock and roll
They know they can't dance
At least they know…

I can't stand the beats
I'm asking for the cheque
The girl with crimson nails has Jesus round her neck
Swinging to the music
Swinging to the music
Oh oh oh oh

Hello hello I'm at a place called Vertigo
It's everything I wish I didn't know
But you give me something I can feel, feel

Check mated
Oh yeah
Hours of fun…

All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want and no-one gets hurt…

Hello hello We're at a place called Vertigo
Lights go down and all I know
Is that you give me something
I can feel your love teaching me how
Your love is teaching me how, how to kneel…

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

=======================================

比起Vertigo，我更喜歡Elevation!^^
無論是旋律、編曲、歌詞，聽著就有股清新暢意
像在炎炎夏日喝下一口冰涼啤酒...說不出的痛快!!
而且它剛好搭上電影<古墓奇兵1>主題曲
MV結合電影情節大玩特效
長頸鹿走在市區街道
Bono和路人玩起時間暫停遊戲
Adam扮演計程車司機
Larry依舊耍酷騎重機表演高速行進跳車
Edge則是跟著蘿拉(安吉莉娜裘莉)上山下海出任務

演唱會上跟著8萬人一起唱這首真是過癮哪~ha ha ^^




以下是歌詞:
Elevation (Lyrics)

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here,
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul

I've lost all self-control
Been living like a mole
Now going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you

A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
