Silver and Gold


I was in a music and video store and picked up U2's Rattle and Hum on DVD and my life has not been the same. What a great live performance and in surround on a big screen and kick-ass sound! I can't stop watching and I paid only $9.99 for it! I am a sensitive and intuitive person and I know soul, meaning and depth when I see and hear it. AMAZING! Vicki left me her church....her minister...and knowing him led me to look even deeper at U2...THANK GOD! Here is one of my favorites...can't stop moving and grooving to this....




My therapist said...after many years of therapy that she could see that I have a musical and poetic soul.....I KNOW music saved my life literally! This song is so DAMN awesome.....




Seriously....every night after busy days of work and mental energy spent I sit back...alone and watch this DVD....SO INSPIRING and content to immerse myself in inspiration! I want to post the lyrics to this song.....

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go
Surrender, dislocate

If I could throw this lifeless
Lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
Through the day
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
Through the day
Into the half-light
Through the flame

Sing it

To let it go
And so to find a way
To let it go
And so find a way

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no
I'm not sleeping

If they should ask then maybe
They'd tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken skies and burning flag
Colours crash, collide in blood shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go

This desparation
Separation
Condemnation
In temptation
Isolation
Revelation
Isolation
Revelation
Desolation

Let it go
And so to find a way
Let it go
And so fade, fade, fade away
Not fade away
No, no
Not fade away
No, no
Not fade away
Let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade, fade, fade away
Fade away
Not fade away
No, no
Not fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you

Pleased to meet you
I hope you guessed my name
You know I'm pleased to meet you
I hope you guessed my name

So let it go
And so find a way
So let it go
And so find, find, find a way

  1. Rattle and Hum was the album that HOOKED me on these guys: my kids had turned me on to the Joshua Tree but it took the live stuff to make a believer. And then I was confused for a bit with the Achtung, Baby/Zooropa period but now it is clearly one of my favorites. Keep on rockin' brother, keep on rockin.
