Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind



I sometimes feel I should just go home
But I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets

Hate, love and war
Force emotions to the fore
But not for me, of course
Of course
I keep mine hidden

I keep mine hidden
But it's so easy for you
Because you let yours flail
Into public view

Yellow and green
A stumbling block
I'm a twenty-digit combination to unlock
With a past where to be 'touched'
Meant to be 'mental'

I keep mine hidden
The lies are so easy for you
Because you let yours slide
Into public view

I'm more a fan of older U2 than the newer stuff. I had already stopped listening to U2 when this song came out. But this song has a huge meaning for me in my life. About fifteen years ago I used to run for exercise. I ran some shorter races just for fun, 5k and 10k races. I decided to run a full marathon and trained for about a year to be physically fit enough to do it.

Race day. I did well for the first 3/4 of it, then "hit the wall". Every fiber of my body was screaming for me to just stop. Within the last few miles I remember I was slack jawed, loosely, nearly unintelligibly blurting: "You can do it. You can do it." I remember a few other runners looking back at me in puzzlement. I had injured a tendon in my hip during the race but was determined to limp along and finish.

About six blocks from the finish line a local radio station had massive stacks of speakers set up and were playing music. As I rounded the corner in front of the speakers, this song was on and at the part of the chorus, I was so overwhelmed by it I burst out sobbing. I knew I was going to make it. I'm getting choked up thinking about it right now.

Thanks, Isabella. It took awhile for my hip to heal and ended my running days . Interesting on the U2 disdain. I liked their very early albums. When they became far too big for their britches and the music was, m'eh, I had no interest in them.

I think it's more about Bono's ego and his hypocrisy. I'm the same way with Sting.

I remembered that I always liked Sunday Bloody Sunday because of the guitar riffs. So, I'll credit them for two decent songs.

My brother won't even get them that. lol

I agree with you about both Bono and Sting. The Police was such a great band that they're still a favorite of mine. I really like Stuart Copeland as a driver. I call him the "king of the high hat".

Now THIS song. Holy wow does it capture a similar time period in my life. I love the background singers too.

my classmates loudly talking. HELP ME!! !

An auditory painting for the senses.....

Come back to play soon!

I love the sound of a 12 string guitar!
