only love can leave such a mark…

Music: U2

CD: No Line on the Horizon

Today is a day to celebrate all things Irish! And who better to celebrate with than my four favorite Irish guys…Bono, Edge, Adam, and Larry!

And what better way to celebrate than to kick back with a green beer and listen to U2’s latest creation…their 12th studio album, No Line on the Horizon! It is true that I have a biased opinion but…what can I say…I freaking love it! Seriously all the tracks are amazing! U2 pushes the envelope again yet never losing their unique sound. My instant obsessions…Magnificent and Breathe.

Track 2 Magnificent…this song is nothing short of magnificent...so it is not just a clever title. It has one of the best intros I have ever heard. Favorite lines…I actually love every line in this song.

Track 10 Breathe…this song has some funky lyrics and I love the music…the piano is great!

Happy St. Patrick's Day guys....can’t wait to see you September 12th & 13th at Soldier Field!

p.s. I adore The Edge's shirt in that photo....we were meant to be!

get on your boots

Music: U2

And the countdown to the reason for my very existence begins. 43 days until the excruciating long awaited new U2 album, No Line on the Horizon, is released in the US...and I can feel whole again. Yesterday the first single…Get on Your Boots was released. Naturally…I love it! And I already know all the words!

Quick sounds play with a fast talking Bono. Edge’s guitar never failing. It is reminiscent of Fast Cars but with a lot quicker pace.

Get on Your Boots Lyrics

The future needs a big kiss

Winds blows with a twist

Never seen a moon like this

Can you see it too?

Night is falling everywhere

Rockets at the fun fair

Satan loves a bomb scare

But he won’t scare you

Hey, sexy boots

Get on your boots, yeah

You free me from the dark dream

Candy floss ice cream

All our kids are screaming

But the ghosts aren’t real

Here’s where we gotta be

Love and community

Laughter is eternity

If joy is real

You don’t know how beautiful

You don’t know how beautiful you are

You don’t know, and you don’t get it, do you?

You don’t know how beautiful you are

That’s someone’s stuff they’re blowing up

We’re into growing up

Women of the future

Hold the big revelations

I got a submarine

You got gasoline

I don’t want to talk about wars between nations

Not right now

Hey sexy boots…

Get on your boots, yeah

Not right now

Bossy boots

You don’t know how beautiful

You don’t know how beautiful you are

You don’t know, and you don’t get it, do you?

You don’t know how beautiful you are

Hey sexy boots

I don’t want to talk about the wars between the nations

Sexy boots, yeah

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Meet me in the sound

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound, now

God, I’m going down

I don’t wanna drown now

Meet me in the sound

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Meet me in the sound

Get on your boots

Get on your boots

Get on your boots

Yeah hey hey

I seriously want to throw a pair of Pretty Woman boots and a mini skirt on every time I listen to this song!

You are right Bono…I don’t know how beautiful I am…but please keep telling me how over and over!

I also want to note the lyrics...

Never seen a moon like this

Can you see it too?

Clearly he is referencing me and the meaning of my last name.
