Mid-Week Song

 

Just a day ago, legendary Irish band U2 serenaded a lucky crowd in Mexico City with their new song "Street of Dreams," and it's a beauty as the joyous response from the audience demonstrates.  For a band that's celebrating its 50th year, their music and voice for humanity is forever fresh and compelling. Enjoy. 

God hear me shout

Lend your ear to my prayer

When I'm far from anywhere

Down to my last breath of air

La calle, calle de los sueños

All the doors are open on the street of dreams

La calle, calle de los sueños

Broken are the chosen on the street of dreams

Be here

Be free

Be yourself

And then free me

 

Mid-Week Song

Dublin, Ireland's legendary rock band U2 has a new EP out, "Easter Lily," with lots of great music as you'd expect from this 22 time Grammy award group. Their song "Scars" from that record is our song choice today.

Weekend Music

 

U2 pays tribute to Renee Nicole Good in their new release "American Obituary," from their EP "Days of Ash."  Lyrics by Bono, music by U2.

Weekend Music Twofer

 

Aussie indie duo Royel Otis (Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic) have their debut album out, "Pratts & Pain," from which we selected "Merry Mary Marry Me" from the album's deluxe version.  Catchy fluff.

Also, will you still need him, will you still feed him now that U2's Bono (Paul Hewson) turns 64 on this "Beautiful Day."

Mid-Week Best Thing Song

We thought we'd join the iconic Irish band U2 for a stroll and drive around New York City as they sing their new single "You're The Best Thing About Me," from their album "Songs of Experience," due out on December 1. Enjoy.

Breaking Wave Mid-Week Song

U2, perhaps the world's best known active rock band, has been creating great music since their formation in Dublin in 1976. Their latest single, "Every Breaking Wave," from their recent album "Songs of Innocence," is our mid-week selection.  Enjoy.

Mid-Week / New Year Song

Irish superstar band U2 is one of the major rock groups of the past 30 years  -- 8 number one hits in the U.S., fifth all-time.  Here they are in a live performance at Ireland's Slane Castle performing their 2000 hit, "Beautiful Day."

Beautiful Weekend Song

Given the beautiful economic news and the beautiful weather here in the mid-Atlantic region today, we feel a little like U2. Have a beautiful weekend.
