This is the song that follows U2's "Its a beautiful day" and it is called "Stuck in a moment": "I never thought you were a fool

But darling look at you

You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight

These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together you got stuck in a moment and

now you can't get out of it Don't say that later will be better

Now you are stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it".... and later... "and if the night runs over

and the day won't last

and if your way should falter along the stony pass Its just a moment

This time will pass"...

A beautiful song ... by three Christians and an agnostic.

There are a number of books on the market about them but but Steve Stockman's 'Walk On: The Spiritual Journey of U2' ( Relevant Books; Lake Mary, Florida: 2001) is of particular interest.

From the blurb .....

************** One of the world's leading voices of faith and social activism also happens to be one of its biggest rock group. The band members drink, smoke and swear - uyet a radical biblical agenda and faith fuel their life and work. Welcome to the dichotomy of U2. Walk On: The Spiritual

Journey of U2 explores the questions and controversy surrounding the deep-rooted religious themes of the group's music. It is a spiritual companion to their albums. It exposes the real meaning behind many of their songs and performances. From the group's beginnings at the Shalom Christian fellowship in Dublin all the way through their seeming rebirth on their most rtecent album, the book brings to life the struggles and triumphs of the band members' Christian faith. How have they kept it so vibrant in the harsh light of the world stage? Have they found what they're looking for? Why has the church shunned them? ....

******************************

I recommend their last cd "All That You Can't Leave Behind" featuring the single "Beautiful Day".
