While going for a run this morning and watching all the cool drama playing out above me in the sky, and I was thinking about music, because music is always on and its always playing in my head. "Ordinary Love" by U2 came on and that started me thinking about music groups that have provided the playlist for my life. U2's "Under a Blood Red Sky" album, was electric to me and It made me come alive. UBRS came along and became the driving beat of the changes in my life. Life was starting to show itself to me...I wanted everything..my body and my mind were starting growing up, I was 15 so driving was on my mind, I was about to have a real crush....GIRLS, GIRL,GIRLS were on my mind! I was starting to have thoughts and ideas about how the world should be(and all my friends know that I still have different ideas on how the world should be) but the US songs: Sunday Bloody Sunday, News Years day(plus the video had been released on MTV...SO COOL), I will Follow, Gloria, 40, The Electric Co., 11 O'clock Tick Tock. Plus it's the first time I had every heard of Red Rocks so that triggered a life long love for music played outside, with the sky, the moon, the sun, not to mention hot girls, maybe a few adult beverages(yes I was under age), It was just life and it was all happening all around me, it felt so good. So I want to thank U2 for providing me with a great soundtrack for such an exciting time of my life.U2's Under a blood red sky enabled me to cope with my changing life, my insecurities, I was starting to find myself. I remember July 23rd 1984 the day that music almost died, my best friend shot and killed himself So U2 has been with me ever since that day, it is so nice putting that music on and escaping back to a better time.Before death and violence was everywhere. I found US's songs making want to learn more about what was happening especially in Northern Ireland. I couldn't believe that in modern Day Europe that we were fighting an old war based on Religion. I was stunned.
