00:00:18,143 --> 00:00:19,602
Growing up in Ireland,
4
00:00:19,602 --> 00:00:23,106
it felt as if the future
was always somewhere else.
5
00:00:25,567 --> 00:00:29,070
In our Dublin,
it felt as if there were no present,
6
00:00:29,988 --> 00:00:31,990
let alone past or future.
7
00:00:41,124 --> 00:00:42,125
In our band,
8
00:00:42,125 --> 00:00:46,421
we felt estranged from any traditions
we could have held on to.
9
00:00:49,507 --> 00:00:53,762
And the question
that began to intrigue us was,
10
00:00:54,471 --> 00:00:57,474
"How do we fit into this story?"
11
00:01:06,608 --> 00:01:08,568
I'm looking for the peanut butter cups.
12
00:01:09,277 --> 00:01:10,945
I don't think we got some here.
13
00:01:16,743 --> 00:01:18,078
{\an8}Eh, what are those?
14
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:20,872
{\an8}Just-- Just--
I don't wanna touch your food.
15
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:24,167
{\an8}Well, see, now you've touched--
Okay. Thank you.
16
00:01:24,167 --> 00:01:25,960
{\an8} ...for boarding.
Thank you.
17
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:28,838
{\an8}- You know, what's your name?
- Felix.
18
00:01:28,838 --> 00:01:30,173
Felix? I'm Dave.
19
00:01:31,049 --> 00:01:33,718
Nice to see you.
I'm trying to get to Dublin.
20
00:01:34,385 --> 00:01:35,720
Take care. Thank you.
21
00:01:48,983 --> 00:01:52,237
{\an8}I'll tell you what else is, uh,
great about the show tonight.
22
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:55,782
{\an8}This is the biggest, the greatest,
23
00:01:55,782 --> 00:01:59,119
{\an8}most exciting, most influential
rock-and-roll band in the world.
24
00:01:59,911 --> 00:02:01,913
Ladies and gentlemen, once again, U2.
25
00:02:08,545 --> 00:02:10,213
U2, ladies and gentlemen.
26
00:02:12,549 --> 00:02:14,134
- Hi, Dave.
- Oh, my goodness.
27
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:16,553
- A pleasure to see you again.
- Good to see you.
28
00:02:16,553 --> 00:02:18,638
Thank you for letting me be part of this.
29
00:02:18,638 --> 00:02:21,683
Good God. What expectations
you have set for yourself.
30
00:02:22,725 --> 00:02:25,478
Writer, poetry and prose, musician.
31
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:27,021
Something else I forgot.
32
00:02:27,021 --> 00:02:30,942
My, um, self-esteem... never been lower.
33
00:02:30,942 --> 00:02:32,485
- I just wanna tell you...
34
00:02:32,485 --> 00:02:33,653
...the door is now closed.
35
00:02:33,653 --> 00:02:36,739
- You and I are not gonna be best friends.
36
00:02:37,365 --> 00:02:40,368
D-D-Do you like
retrospectives of yourself?
37
00:02:40,368 --> 00:02:42,829
Do you like looking over your shoulder
at this point in your life?
38
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:43,913
No.
39
00:02:43,913 --> 00:02:46,332
Okay. Well, that's all we need.
Thank you very much.
40
00:02:48,126 --> 00:02:50,628
Let's-- Let's talk about music.
41
00:02:50,628 --> 00:02:54,757
Years of reflection has caused you
to change lyrics in some of these songs.
42
00:02:54,757 --> 00:02:58,011
Some of them you thought perhaps
were never finished in the first place.
43
00:02:58,011 --> 00:02:59,095
Yeah, that's right.
44
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:04,309
We wanted to, sort of,
strip away the artifice
45
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:07,395
that inevitably emerges after
you've been around this long.
46
00:03:09,981 --> 00:03:14,903
In the isolation of the pandemic,
it was almost like the question became,
47
00:03:14,903 --> 00:03:17,739
"What is left when everything
is stripped away?"
48
00:03:18,323 --> 00:03:20,033
But where do you take it?
49
00:03:20,033 --> 00:03:23,536
All right, yeah.
Let's take it from the top.
50
00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:26,956
Do you-- Do you wanna know
what I did during the pandemic?
51
00:03:26,956 --> 00:03:28,958
- What did you do?
- Calligraphy.
52
00:03:28,958 --> 00:03:30,126
- Really?
- Yeah.
53
00:03:30,126 --> 00:03:31,669
- I've gotten very good.
- How cool.
54
00:03:31,669 --> 00:03:32,754

{\an8}as if for the first time.
64
00:04:23,346 --> 00:04:26,474
And we ask ourselves the nervous question,
65
00:04:26,474 --> 00:04:28,559
"Is there any merit to these songs
66
00:04:28,559 --> 00:04:32,855
if you take away the firepower
of a rock band like U2?"
67
00:04:32,855 --> 00:04:34,357
- Hold on.

00:06:05,698 --> 00:06:06,824
Hi.
103
00:06:06,824 --> 00:06:08,868
- Hi. How are you?
- Hello. How are you?
104
00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:09,952
How about this?
105
00:06:09,952 --> 00:06:11,871
- Oh, yeah. Wow.
- Wow.
106
00:06:12,622 --> 00:06:15,083
- It's your first time here?
- It's my first time in Dublin.
107
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:17,377
My first time out of the house,
as a matter of fact.
108
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:20,129
Tell us a little bit
about this establishment.
109
00:06:20,129 --> 00:06:21,672
InDub Reggae Store.
110
00:06:21,672 --> 00:06:23,966
- The only reggae shop in Ireland.
- The only reggae shop?
111
00:06:23,966 --> 00:06:25,510
Yeah, the only reggae shop in Ireland.
112
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:28,346
I'm interested in a wheel of cheese.
113
00:06:28,346 --> 00:06:30,515
I've never purchased a wheel of cheese.
114
00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:33,768
{\an8}I would like to buy two hats
for friends of mine.
115
00:06:33,768 --> 00:06:35,186
- All right.
- Their heads are...
116
00:06:35,186 --> 00:06:38,898
One's about like this,
and one's about like that.
117
00:06:39,982 --> 00:06:43,486
Is there anyone here that can help
an old man carrying a cheese?
118
00:06:44,779 --> 00:06:47,448
I'd like to welcome you
all today to the U2 walking tour.
119
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:50,076
There are certain bands,
when I listen to them,
120
00:06:50,076 --> 00:06:53,079
I just see streetscapes open up before me.
121
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,706
And Dublin and U2 is deeply connected.
122
00:06:57,125 --> 00:07:02,797
{\an8}In October '77, a great British punk band
called The Clash played two gigs
123
00:07:02,797 --> 00:07:05,550
{\an8}in the Examinations Hall
of Trinity College, Dublin.
124
00:07:05,550 --> 00:07:09,137
And in the crowd was a young,
impressionable Bono.
125
00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:14,267
Seeing The Clash onstage
singing these angry songs
126
00:07:14,267 --> 00:07:16,436
was a moment of awakening.
127
00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:20,731
Later on, when they're arguably
the biggest band in the world,
128
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:23,901
they never really forget
this part of Dublin,
129
00:07:24,735 --> 00:07:26,737
and everything it does for them.
130
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:31,617
I-I was told there would be a hot meal.
131
00:07:38,708 --> 00:07:40,543
Let's, uh, go back.
132
00:07:43,921 --> 00:07:46,424
- Exactly what you don't wanna do.
133
00:07:46,424 --> 00:07:49,677
How old were you kids
when you got together and, uh...
134
00:07:49,677 --> 00:07:53,181
So in '76, I would've been, uh, 15.
135
00:07:53,181 --> 00:07:54,265
Fifteen?
136
00:07:58,186 --> 00:07:59,187
That.
137
00:07:59,187 --> 00:08:03,441
At age 11,
I went to that school for one year.
138
00:08:03,441 --> 00:08:05,026
They asked me to leave.
139
00:08:05,026 --> 00:08:07,487
Had they not have,
I would not have met this man.
140
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:08,738
- Really?
- This is true.
141
00:08:10,948 --> 00:08:13,201
Tell me about
your relationship with the band.
142
00:08:13,201 --> 00:08:14,285
When did that begin?
143
00:08:14,285 --> 00:08:16,329
{\an8} February, '82.
144
00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:19,624
{\an8}- You became close with them?
- Close enough.
145
00:08:20,833 --> 00:08:22,919
Make sure you got some sun on your faces.
146
00:08:23,753 --> 00:08:25,880
Yeah, you're all about shadows,
aren't you?
147
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,965
But you are part of the family.
148
00:08:27,965 --> 00:08:32,261
H-Have you seen them, obviously, change
over the years since you've met them?
149
00:08:32,929 --> 00:08:36,182
Um, they're the same people, you know?
I-I have to say.
150
00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:37,767

- The-The hearing-aid store?
- Right.
174
00:09:56,929 --> 00:09:59,432
And this was part of a pushback
175
00:09:59,432 --> 00:10:02,852
against the conservative society
that we were a part of.
176
00:10:06,105 --> 00:10:08,774
{\an8}- So here we have the Edge.
- Yeah.
177
00:10:09,358 --> 00:10:10,818
{\an8}- Bono.
- Mm-hmm.
178
00:10:10,818 --> 00:10:12,778
{\an8}- Then we have Adam.
- Mm-hmm.
179
00:10:12,778 --> 00:10:14,196
{\an8} And we have Larry.
180
00:10:14,196 --> 00:10:16,657
When you hear what
their original Village names were,
181
00:10:16,657 --> 00:10:19,243
you would understand why
they didn't run with them.
182
00:10:19,243 --> 00:10:21,704
So, Larry's was--
He was known as "The Jam Jar."
183
00:10:21,704 --> 00:10:22,955
The Jam Jar?
184
00:10:22,955 --> 00:10:25,499
Adam was "Mrs. Burns."
185
00:10:25,499 --> 00:10:28,836
The bass player is called "Mrs. Burns."
186
00:10:28,836 --> 00:10:29,920
- Yeah.
- Ah!
187
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,466
♪ We got spirit, we got soul ♪
188
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:36,802
♪ My brothers and I are out of control ♪
189
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,222
We had no aspirations beyond
190
00:10:40,222 --> 00:10:43,142
just something fun to do
on a Saturday afternoon.
191
00:10:43,851 --> 00:10:48,272
But then, weirdly,
as we started to play together,
192
00:10:48,272 --> 00:10:51,442
and at first atrociously badly,
193
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:53,861
we recognized some chemistry there.
194
00:10:57,239 --> 00:11:01,243
My, uh, nickname, "Dumbass."
195
00:11:01,243 --> 00:11:03,329
{\an8}- Yeah.
196
00:11:11,379 --> 00:11:14,090
{\an8} You and I last saw
one another in the early aughts.
197
00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:16,550
{\an8} The early aughts.
We were on doing your show.
198
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:19,261
{\an8}Our next guests are a pair
of talented singer-songwriters
199
00:11:19,261 --> 00:11:20,846
who star in the motion picture Once...
200
00:11:20,846 --> 00:11:25,059
In those days, I don't think
you and I talked much of anything
201
00:11:25,059 --> 00:11:27,561
other than here he is,
and thank you and good night.
202
00:11:27,561 --> 00:11:30,189
Yeah, you stuck your head into the room.
We said a quick hello.
203
00:11:30,189 --> 00:11:31,524
- It was a big deal.
204
00:11:31,524 --> 00:11:34,110
Other than that,
we were all told, "Avoid David."
205
00:11:34,110 --> 00:11:36,696
- And don't look me in the eye.
- That's what we were told, yeah.
206
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:39,115
Hi, Glen. That was beautiful. Excuse me.
207
00:11:39,115 --> 00:11:41,492
Your eyes, by the way,
stunningly beautiful.
208
00:11:41,492 --> 00:11:42,743
Oh, thank you, David.
209
00:11:42,743 --> 00:11:44,328
Uh, explain where we are.
210
00:11:44,328 --> 00:11:46,080
We're in Dublin.
Well, we're in Greystones.
211
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,292
So we're on the kind of southern edge
of the "swerve of shore bend of bay."
212
00:11:50,292 --> 00:11:52,378
- To quote Joyce. We're in-- Yeah.
- Hmm.
213
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:55,089
Oh, you've been here less than a minute,
and you're quoting Joyce.
214
00:11:55,089 --> 00:11:56,507
- Good Lord.
215
00:11:56,507 --> 00:11:59,677
You know, I'm meeting you.
I have to impress you with the Irishness.
216
00:12:01,303 --> 00:12:03,222
We're gonna talk
about your buddies, U2.
217
00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:06,183
Yeah. Well,
I've known them pretty much all my life.
218
00:12:06,809 --> 00:12:10,312
When I was ten years old,
my uncle took me to see the Police,
219
00:12:11,188 --> 00:12:13,816
but the opening band was U2.
220
00:12:20,448 --> 00:12:22,783
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah. Yeah.
221
00:12:22,783 --> 00:12:25,453
And everyone, the whole, like--
222
00:12:25,453 --> 00:12:29,331
This guy came onstage
and he was like-- he was possessed.
223
00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:39,383
- Everybody left going, "Who were they?"
- Mm-hmm.
224
00:12:39,383 --> 00:12:42,136
And they were Irish. They were Dubliners.
225
00:12:42,136 --> 00:12:44,388
They were from the same town I'm from.
226
00:12:45,473 --> 00:12:47,099
And so we all became obsessed.
227
00:12:53,147 --> 00:12:55,107
{\an8}It didn't sound like anything else.
228
00:12:55,107 --> 00:12:59,445
{\an8}Not just in Ireland, but anything else we
were hearing from America or from Britain.
229
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:01,155
U2 were completely different.
230
00:13:01,155 --> 00:13:04,033
♪ I was on the outside when you said ♪
231
00:13:04,033 --> 00:13:06,702
♪ You said you needed me ♪
232
00:13:06,702 --> 00:13:09,663
So not just America, uh, but globally,
233
00:13:09,663 --> 00:13:14,251
why do people respond, uh,
emotionally to this music?
234
00:13:14,251 --> 00:13:18,297
Well, the first time you heard
"I Will Follow" on the radio,
235
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:20,257
at that time
where everything was trying to show
236
00:13:20,257 --> 00:13:21,884
how much you were against everything,
237
00:13:21,884 --> 00:13:28,933
you know, U2 was trying to express
something with this force of sincerity.
238
00:13:30,434 --> 00:13:33,145
They had a purpose and they had
an earnestness in their music
239
00:13:33,145 --> 00:13:34,605
that you could easily dismiss.
240
00:13:34,605 --> 00:13:39,026
Because Bono was just-- He was like, uh,
he was strident with something pure.
241
00:13:39,026 --> 00:13:41,237
♪ Why, oh, why? ♪
242
00:13:41,237 --> 00:13:44,532
The first album was made--
I would've been 18.
243
00:13:45,699 --> 00:13:48,285
So we were kids, really,
when we started on it.
244
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:51,664
Did you have a vision
for your future at all,
245
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:53,958
or was it day-to-day, week-to-week?
246
00:13:53,958 --> 00:13:58,212
It was about our concerts
and about, you know, the U2 audience live
247
00:13:58,212 --> 00:14:02,633
that gave us a constant sense of
moving up and moving forward.
248
00:14:06,428 --> 00:14:08,514
It was a complete game changer.
249
00:14:08,514 --> 00:14:11,350
U2 kind of cleared the decks.
250
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:15,020
Like, any bands that were going,
U2 were suddenly, boom.
251
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:17,481
♪ I was looking through the window
I was lost ♪
252
00:14:17,481 --> 00:14:19,817
Nobody ever would've
thought that U2 would be the band.
253
00:14:19,817 --> 00:14:22,403
Because they were, kind of, just, like,
awkward and--
254
00:14:22,403 --> 00:14:24,405
But they had something.
They had a kind of a--
255
00:14:24,405 --> 00:14:26,490
They had a message in their songs.
256
00:14:31,495 --> 00:14:33,414
Thank you. God bless you.
257
00:14:39,712 --> 00:14:41,755
Wanna go see a U2 show tomorrow?
258
00:14:41,755 --> 00:14:44,091
There's a, uh, free U2 show.
259
00:14:44,091 --> 00:14:45,175
- Oh.
- Yeah.
260
00:14:45,175 --> 00:14:47,219
Are you familiar with the band U2?
261
00:14:47,219 --> 00:14:49,388
- Yes. Yes.
- Have you ever seen them live?
262
00:14:49,930 --> 00:14:51,724
Uh, not live, believe it or not.
263
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:53,684
- They're doing a show in town here.
- Yeah. Yeah.
264
00:14:53,684 --> 00:14:55,060
- Tomorrow night.
- Yeah.
265
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:56,604
You should come to the show.
266
00:14:56,604 --> 00:14:59,773
Just mention my name and you'll get in.
267
00:14:59,773 --> 00:15:02,568
Just say, uh,
"Dave said it would be okay if I came."
268
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:04,403
Yeah, okay. I'd love to.
That'd be a pleasure.
269
00:15:04,403 --> 00:15:07,114
Yeah, you should--
For God's sake, you should go. Yes.
270
00:15:07,114 --> 00:15:09,491
- My work here is finished.
271
00:15:09,491 --> 00:15:12,244
But I think what's interesting now is
that I think there's--
272
00:15:12,244 --> 00:15:14,496
they're going back to the beginning again.
273
00:15:16,373 --> 00:15:19,543
Your biggest competition
is wanting to be safe.
274
00:15:19,543 --> 00:15:22,796
{\an8}It feels really good
to sell 20 million albums,
275
00:15:22,796 --> 00:15:24,715
{\an8}or whatever the heck it is.
276
00:15:24,715 --> 00:15:27,217
{\an8}And you know what that sounds like.
277
00:15:27,217 --> 00:15:31,388
But to say, "No, we're gonna change it.
278
00:15:31,388 --> 00:15:33,641
And we're gonna bring
our audience with us."
279
00:15:33,641 --> 00:15:37,227
- How do you sing this warm-up, the Edge?
280
00:15:38,395 --> 00:15:39,605
Uh, let me guess.
281
00:15:43,067 --> 00:15:47,237
Your biggest foe there
is your fear of moving forward.
282
00:15:49,239 --> 00:15:52,159
See, the problem with these is
they don't tell you where to go.
283
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,620
Oh, we'll find our way.
284
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:56,121
- Don't you worry.
285
00:16:04,588 --> 00:16:06,298
{\an8}This is a bit of a day, isn't it?
286
00:16:07,049 --> 00:16:08,300
Lovely.
287
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,182
- Yeah. Seeing them for the first time.
288
00:16:16,517 --> 00:16:17,935
- What a venue.
- Yes.
289
00:16:17,935 --> 00:16:19,395
- Fantastic.
- Yeah, yeah.
290
00:16:19,395 --> 00:16:22,439
Is everything you do still
within your comfort zone?
291
00:16:22,439 --> 00:16:24,024
Rarely.
292
00:16:24,024 --> 00:16:26,485
Yeah, the-- I'm rarely in my comfort zone.
293
00:16:26,485 --> 00:16:28,737
And I think that's been difficult
for the band,
294
00:16:28,737 --> 00:16:30,614
because I don't let them be in it either.
295
00:16:32,574 --> 00:16:37,997
For me, music and songwriting is just,
you know, heart surgery.
296
00:16:47,631 --> 00:16:48,632
Oh, no.
297
00:16:49,591 --> 00:16:50,592
Thank you very much.
298
00:16:53,512 --> 00:16:54,847
Thank you.
299
00:16:54,847 --> 00:16:57,725
Do we have an idea
of what we're in for tonight?
300
00:16:59,018 --> 00:17:03,272
You will be very, very happy
you did have this experience.
301
00:17:04,898 --> 00:17:06,066
Are you ready?
302
00:17:07,401 --> 00:17:09,611
Bono and the Edge.
303
00:17:23,459 --> 00:17:24,585

The genesis of the band is always linked
with religious, Christian influence.
361
00:20:32,522 --> 00:20:34,149
To me that sounds unusual.
362
00:20:34,149 --> 00:20:37,402
When you compare it to the United States
with a rock-and-roll band,
363
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:41,240
it's kids smoking weed in their garage
and wanting to meet girls.
364
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,200
- We'll get to that.
365
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,118
Is that because of Ireland?
366
00:20:46,078 --> 00:20:48,497
Well, I should draw you a map.
367
00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:50,791
Okay, so...
368
00:20:50,791 --> 00:20:54,044
Just give me a second
till I get a rough Ireland for you.
369
00:20:54,044 --> 00:20:55,629
Okay, that's close enough.
370
00:20:55,629 --> 00:20:58,840
So we live on a tiny island
in the North Sea,
371
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,261
brutalized by occasional bad weather
and some difficult neighbors.
372
00:21:03,178 --> 00:21:06,014
And in the country of Northern Ireland,
373
00:21:07,057 --> 00:21:10,852
the Northern Protestants
outnumbered the Catholics.
374
00:21:10,852 --> 00:21:13,105
What caused the border to be established?
375
00:21:13,105 --> 00:21:15,274
Our War of Independence.
376
00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:16,817
So who do I dislike in this?
377
00:21:16,817 --> 00:21:19,486
- I'm-- I'm eager to dislike somebody.
378
00:21:19,486 --> 00:21:20,862
I'm part of the great divide.
379
00:21:20,862 --> 00:21:22,906
I wanna dislike--
Shall I dislike the British?
380
00:21:22,906 --> 00:21:24,825
- No. No.
- Okay.
381
00:21:24,825 --> 00:21:27,035
- Whoever you don't like, I don't like.
382
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:30,289
So chief among the differences here
still would be the religion?
383
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:31,373
Well, yeah.
384
00:21:33,333 --> 00:21:36,837
{\an8} When we were kids,
we were in the middle of the Troubles.
385
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:41,174
British troops, called to
break up a protest, killed 13 Catholics.
386
00:21:42,217 --> 00:21:45,887
It was just a constant drip, drip, drip
when we were forming the band.
387
00:21:47,055 --> 00:21:51,059
So, we were looking for a way
to express our faith
388
00:21:51,059 --> 00:21:52,769
that wasn't obviously religious.
389
00:21:53,395 --> 00:21:57,899
And there was a kind of movement
in Ireland in the late '70s,
390
00:21:58,692 --> 00:22:00,861
uh, which was called Charismatic Renewal.
391
00:22:02,112 --> 00:22:04,448
And we met some religious people.
392
00:22:04,448 --> 00:22:06,950
They'd no possessions, particularly.
393
00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:08,785
They lived a very disciplined life.
394
00:22:08,785 --> 00:22:10,704
We thought they were
a bit punk-rock actually.
395
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:14,416
And they seemed to accept us
for who we are.
396
00:22:14,916 --> 00:22:19,171
But they'd, kind of, started to become
much more like a conventional church.
397
00:22:19,171 --> 00:22:22,466
And it was then that the leadership,
sort of, came to us and said,
398
00:22:22,466 --> 00:22:26,803
"Look, you should be full-time for God,
not this rock-and-roll thing."
399
00:22:27,429 --> 00:22:29,681
Music was just something
that we had to give up
400
00:22:29,681 --> 00:22:33,769
because these people felt
rock and roll was kind of nonsense.
401
00:22:34,478 --> 00:22:37,939
And that the real job
was fixing a broken world.
402
00:22:38,690 --> 00:22:41,443
And Edge was in some kind of--
403
00:22:42,694 --> 00:22:43,945
Yeah, agony.
404
00:22:44,571 --> 00:22:48,325
So it was taken that seriously that
it might actually put an end to the band.
405
00:22:48,325 --> 00:22:49,409
Yeah.
406
00:22:49,409 --> 00:22:54,915
Because if we are to be useful,
as it were, in music, well, what is--
407
00:22:54,915 --> 00:22:56,416
How's that gonna look?
408
00:22:57,042 --> 00:23:03,507
So I spent this couple of weeks really
trying to figure out what felt right.
409
00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:06,802
It was still nagging at us,
410
00:23:06,802 --> 00:23:11,640
and the actual answer came in the shape
411
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,351
of a song that Edge started.
412
00:23:18,855 --> 00:23:23,693
And then on one particular day,
this rage poured out.
413
00:23:23,693 --> 00:23:28,031
This frustration
at not being able to write,
414
00:23:28,031 --> 00:23:30,534
not knowing
if I should be in a rock-and-roll band.
415
00:23:31,368 --> 00:23:34,204
Um, what the future might hold.
416
00:23:34,204 --> 00:23:35,956

417
00:23:35,956 --> 00:23:37,124

a question about songwriting.
514
00:30:33,957 --> 00:30:36,084
When you're writing a song,
and you end up with...
515
00:30:36,084 --> 00:30:38,753
♪ Hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo ♪
516
00:30:39,838 --> 00:30:42,257
- Who-- Who provided that inspiration?
517
00:30:42,257 --> 00:30:45,718
Bec-- I'm telling you, it's lovely,
but who says, "Okay, here's where you do"...
518
00:30:45,718 --> 00:30:47,720
♪ Hoo-hoo ♪
519
00:30:48,346 --> 00:30:51,516
We like to ask the big questions,
so we start with "who?"
520
00:30:51,516 --> 00:30:52,600
Uh-huh.
521
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,977
And we eventually get to "why."
522
00:30:53,977 --> 00:30:57,063
- So, we'll hear "why-why" later?
- Yeah.
523
00:30:57,063 --> 00:30:59,899
- And "when" is coming.
524
00:30:59,899 --> 00:31:02,527
- That's a full night, isn't it, folks?
525
00:31:05,238 --> 00:31:10,326
Going back to the "why" of U2,
you gotta stay with the "why."
526
00:31:11,369 --> 00:31:14,122
And I think the band
are on the same page in this one.
527
00:31:15,331 --> 00:31:19,335
Yeah, they wanted to entertain,
but they didn't want to just entertain.
528
00:31:19,961 --> 00:31:21,546
They wanted to do something great.
529
00:31:22,171 --> 00:31:26,551
Something that spiritually
affected people.
530
00:31:27,635 --> 00:31:29,429
And that's the "why."
531
00:31:46,404 --> 00:31:48,990
We grew up as a band on a live stage.
532
00:31:48,990 --> 00:31:51,784
That's-- That's how we learned
to do what we do.
533
00:31:51,784 --> 00:31:55,872
And "Where the Streets Have No Name,"
when I wrote the music,
534
00:31:55,872 --> 00:32:01,377
I set myself the specific,
sort of, thought exercise of,
535
00:32:01,377 --> 00:32:04,714
-"What would I want to listen to"...
- Mm-hmm.
536
00:32:04,714 --> 00:32:06,549
..."if I was in the audience?"
537
00:32:07,258 --> 00:32:08,968
What would blow me away?
538
00:32:08,968 --> 00:32:10,136
Uh, please do it again
539
00:32:10,136 --> 00:32:13,681
because this is an experience
I'll never get again in my life, so--
540
00:32:34,327 --> 00:32:38,873
"Where the Streets Have No Name"
is an unusual brew of a song.
541
00:32:38,873 --> 00:32:42,919
The lyric is not very fleshed out.
542
00:32:42,919 --> 00:32:47,173
But the suggestion
contained in the lyric is gigantic.
543
00:32:48,424 --> 00:32:51,594
And what it seems to suggest is,
544
00:32:51,594 --> 00:32:55,848
there's a transcendent place
we can go to together.

561
00:34:10,173 --> 00:34:15,053
to Super Bowl XXXVI, six months
after the September 11th attack.
562
00:34:15,053 --> 00:34:21,976
I recall grappling with
the concept of America,
563
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,396
and what it meant to me
and what it might mean around the world.
564
00:34:25,396 --> 00:34:27,940
Um, and that this is a fragile moment.
565
00:34:33,112 --> 00:34:36,365
{\an8}- I wanted to use some exhortation...
- Mm-hmm.

567

{\an8}and turning it into a monument
of rolling names.
568

It's-- You do-- You feel it, um,
strongly coming through you.
581
00:35:41,430 --> 00:35:44,934
You know, and Brian Eno, who said to us,

"You know, you should not be concerned
with things like being cool.
583

- Right.

And then it changed,
and it changed quickly.
650
00:40:06,987 --> 00:40:08,781
How did it happen here?
651
00:40:08,781 --> 00:40:11,033
The world into which U2 are coming,
652
00:40:11,033 --> 00:40:14,829
is a society
which has been kind of liberalizing,
653
00:40:14,829 --> 00:40:16,872
but is now going back. [laughs] You know?
654
00:40:16,872 --> 00:40:20,334
It's-- It's getting cold feet about,
"Do we really wanna change?
655
00:40:20,334 --> 00:40:22,461
Do we really wanna become more modern?"
656
00:40:27,383 --> 00:40:29,927
And this band comes
into the middle of that.
657
00:40:29,927 --> 00:40:32,888
And I think they formed a, kind of,
critical bridge...
658
00:40:37,601 --> 00:40:40,771
{\an8}...from being a conservative society
to being the place it is now,
659
00:40:40,771 --> 00:40:42,940
{\an8}which is a very open and tolerant society.
660
00:40:47,820 --> 00:40:49,822
Oh, my God. Are those real diamonds?
661
00:40:49,822 --> 00:40:51,449

662
00:40:51,449 --> 00:40:53,242
- Dave, Dave.
- Oh!
663
00:40:53,242 --> 00:40:55,453
You can't leave the building with those.
664
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:58,164

a lot of money in this culture.
665
00:40:59,582 --> 00:41:01,834

- Yes. Mm-hmm.
666
00:41:01,834 --> 00:41:03,669
You need to get out more, Dave.
667
00:41:03,669 --> 00:41:06,130
That's true in almost
every aspect of my life.
668
00:41:07,173 --> 00:41:09,008
Like many things in my life,
669
00:41:09,008 --> 00:41:11,927
I'm operating on a--
from a position of ignorance.
670
00:41:11,927 --> 00:41:13,262
I'm an open book, Dave.
671
00:41:13,262 --> 00:41:15,222
- You can ask whatever you want.
- Okay. All right.
672
00:41:15,222 --> 00:41:17,475
- I'm unshockable.
- Yeah, that's good.
673
00:41:17,475 --> 00:41:23,647
Is it safe to say that Ireland was among
the most repressive toward homosexuality,
674
00:41:23,647 --> 00:41:26,484
and has now become
almost the diametric opposite?
675
00:41:26,484 --> 00:41:27,568
Yes.
676
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:33,908
I grew up in a country that would
absolutely repress any hint of sexuality.
677
00:41:34,575 --> 00:41:40,372
Dublin, all through the '80s,
was this gray, aggressively normal,
678
00:41:40,372 --> 00:41:42,416
if you know what I mean, kind of place.
679
00:41:42,416 --> 00:41:45,711
Homosexuality wasn't even heard of.
680
00:41:45,711 --> 00:41:48,797
You know, when I was
a high school student in the '80s,
681
00:41:48,797 --> 00:41:51,509
U2's albums were-- They exposed you.
682
00:41:51,509 --> 00:41:53,385
Did you respond to those as a kid?
683
00:41:53,385 --> 00:41:54,595
See, I didn't.
684
00:41:55,346 --> 00:42:00,100
I unfairly maligned U2,
because to me, at that time,
685
00:42:00,100 --> 00:42:06,398
they were part and parcel of this culture,
this sort of straight-boy rock culture
686
00:42:06,398 --> 00:42:09,360
that I felt absolutely rejected by.
687
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:10,486
So I left.
688
00:42:10,486 --> 00:42:14,740
I went to Japan, um,
to-- to live and work and do this.
689
00:42:16,075 --> 00:42:19,912
And while I was living there,
U2 came and performed.
690
00:42:19,912 --> 00:42:22,540
And I started to see,
691
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:27,044
oh, actually this U2 is not the U2
that I, you know, unfairly maligned.
692
00:42:28,003 --> 00:42:32,132
What I saw onstage in Tokyo
was outward-looking, you know?
693
00:42:32,132 --> 00:42:34,093

704

to bring in same-sex marriage
through popular vote.

I've ever played to.
711
00:43:21,390 --> 00:43:24,226
I would have to check that, Dave.
712
00:43:24,226 --> 00:43:26,478
That sounds like work
and I don't like to do work.
713
00:43:26,478 --> 00:43:30,608
So I would just like to say, on behalf
of people like me, thanks a million.

716
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,655
Yeah, I found my way back over the years,

but not because I changed.

00:43:39,158 --> 00:43:41,910
I'm still the same idiot I was then.
719
00:43:41,910 --> 00:43:45,664
But this country changed dramatically.
720
00:43:46,832 --> 00:43:50,377
U2 was a part of what allowed Ireland
to stand on its own two feet.
721
00:43:50,377 --> 00:43:52,087
So actually, we have our own thing.
722
00:43:52,087 --> 00:43:54,798
I appreciated that at the time
and I still do now.
723
00:43:54,798 --> 00:43:57,426
Well, good for you.
And do you have any questions for me?
724
00:43:57,426 --> 00:44:01,096

kind of, low-key, a fashion icon, Dave?

Ireland is about a hundred years old,
and the band is about 50 years old.
810
00:49:30,008 --> 00:49:31,635
Which is more unlikely:
811
00:49:31,635 --> 00:49:36,473
That Ireland is a hundred and better than
ever, and the band, uh, 50 years in?
812
00:49:36,473 --> 00:49:38,058
To that question, I would say,
813
00:49:38,058 --> 00:49:43,522
it's probably the fact that we're a band
for this long is a more remarkable thing.
814
00:49:43,522 --> 00:49:45,941
We kind of grew up working together
815
00:49:45,941 --> 00:49:52,698
and learned how to be, you know,
people of the world because of our band.
816
00:49:52,698 --> 00:49:54,282
So we're probably, to some extent,
817
00:49:54,282 --> 00:49:58,328
oh, a little institutionalized
by being in U2 this long.
818
00:50:02,624 --> 00:50:06,044
I don't know that I could work
with my friends in a creative arena
819
00:50:06,044 --> 00:50:07,546
for any length of time.
820
00:50:08,296 --> 00:50:10,132
There's many times in the past, I think,
821
00:50:10,132 --> 00:50:14,594
that that might've been just
pushing our luck a little too far.
822
00:50:16,013 --> 00:50:20,100
Friendship,
it's deeply part of who we are.
823
00:50:20,100 --> 00:50:23,854
But you could lose that along the way,
and we have to work on it.
824
00:50:25,439 --> 00:50:27,274
Do you embarrass the band?
825
00:50:28,191 --> 00:50:29,192
Yes, I do.
826
00:50:32,696 --> 00:50:36,408
My activism, as the band would accept,
827
00:50:36,408 --> 00:50:38,827
is fairly unhip work.
828
00:50:39,536 --> 00:50:41,663
If you're in a rock-and-roll band,
829
00:50:41,663 --> 00:50:44,291
you don't wanna be in a photograph
with some people
830
00:50:44,291 --> 00:50:49,880
that might be polar opposite
to the values that you hold dear.
831
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,381
And I did that to them.
832
00:50:52,007 --> 00:50:55,886
{\an8}And-- And I'll say it's extraordinary
on a few levels because,
833
00:50:55,886 --> 00:50:59,347
{\an8}you know,
it's bad for both of our images.
834
00:50:59,347 --> 00:51:03,977
{\an8} When I was working with Jesse Helms
and we did great work together...
835
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:12,819
Edge just said, "Please, just please,
whatever you do, don't bring Jesse Helms,
836
00:51:12,819 --> 00:51:16,740
who personally dismantled
the National Endowment for the Arts,
837
00:51:17,324 --> 00:51:19,576
do not bring him to a U2 show."
838
00:51:19,576 --> 00:51:22,496
- And I brought him to a U2 show.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
839
00:51:24,414 --> 00:51:27,000
- It was very hard for us.
- Yeah.
840
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,836
There was a lot of tension
created by that.
841
00:51:31,546 --> 00:51:34,549
I wouldn't have done it, I guess.
I probably wouldn't have done it.
842
00:51:34,549 --> 00:51:35,634
Mm-hmm.
843
00:51:36,176 --> 00:51:40,055
Yeah, it-- it's an awkward one.
It's an awkward one.
844
00:51:42,265 --> 00:51:45,644
You know,
I'm turning what we create as a band
845
00:51:45,644 --> 00:51:50,065
into currency that I choose to spend
in these areas.
846
00:51:52,567 --> 00:51:56,113
And they, by and large, support me.
847
00:51:56,113 --> 00:51:59,449
But I do know I test their patience.
848
00:52:01,409 --> 00:52:04,913
And do you feel that this relationship is
getting stronger as you guys get older?
849
00:52:05,539 --> 00:52:10,210
Yeah. I-- I think we acknowledge
each other's, um, idiosyncrasies,
850
00:52:10,210 --> 00:52:12,712
and they're not-- it's not threatening.
851
00:52:12,712 --> 00:52:15,257
- And we're also not in competition.
- Mm-hmm.
852
00:52:15,257 --> 00:52:20,011
It's-- It's just part of the way,
I suppose, we show respect to each other.
853
00:52:20,011 --> 00:52:21,179
Yeah, yeah.
854
00:52:23,431 --> 00:52:26,434
We have an unusual relationship.
855
00:52:28,145 --> 00:52:33,400
As I often explain to the audience,
Edge is from the future.
856
00:52:34,317 --> 00:52:37,237
And as I often ask him, "How is it?"
857
00:52:37,237 --> 00:52:39,948
Which he will always reply, "Better."
858
00:52:42,534 --> 00:52:44,619
-Hi, guys.
- This is digital.
859
00:52:44,619 --> 00:52:46,705
It's not actually me. It's not video.
860
00:52:46,705 --> 00:52:48,415
- Now I'm confused. That's not you.
- No.
861
00:52:48,415 --> 00:52:50,167
- That's not a human being?
- No.
862
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,752
It's a rendering of me as an avatar.
863
00:52:52,752 --> 00:52:55,881
...virtual version of me.
A replica. Imagine if we could take...
864
00:52:55,881 --> 00:52:57,132
- I just--
865
00:52:57,132 --> 00:53:00,510
Just promise me
you'll always use this for good, not evil.
866
00:53:08,185 --> 00:53:09,978
The thing I don't like--
867
00:53:10,812 --> 00:53:14,149
- The thing I don't like about you...
868
00:53:14,149 --> 00:53:18,820
The thing I don't like about Edge
is that he-- he-- he doesn't need me.
869
00:53:18,820 --> 00:53:21,990
I mean, he could be doing all of this,
870
00:53:22,741 --> 00:53:26,411
writing, singing, performing,
playing, producing, on his own.
871
00:53:27,913 --> 00:53:29,581
- But he doesn't.
- Mm-hmm.
872
00:53:30,165 --> 00:53:32,042
- Ha ha.

{\an8} Wow. This-- You feel like
you're in Ireland here, eh?
907
00:56:07,238 --> 00:56:09,449
What is this called?
This is the Forty Foot?
908
00:56:09,449 --> 00:56:11,034
- Yeah.
- The Forty Foot.
909
00:56:11,034 --> 00:56:13,995
Tell us what--
Why are you here? And-- And then, why?
910
00:56:13,995 --> 00:56:15,538
I'm here to swim.
911
00:56:15,538 --> 00:56:17,499
{\an8}- But did you lose a bet?
- No.
912
00:56:17,499 --> 00:56:19,709
{\an8}Well, explain the routine.
913
00:56:19,709 --> 00:56:22,253
Every morning, there's a crowd
of swimmers and we all meet up.
914
00:56:22,253 --> 00:56:24,005
- Every season?
- Every season.
915
00:56:24,005 --> 00:56:26,132
- Summer, spring, winter, fall?
- Yeah.
916
00:56:26,132 --> 00:56:28,843
- Hello, how is everyone?
917
00:56:28,843 --> 00:56:29,928
Just grand.
918
00:56:29,928 --> 00:56:34,307
- There's a man in a Santa hat.
- He swims here every day.
919
00:56:34,307 --> 00:56:37,018
- We're gonna say that that's me.
- Okay.
920
00:56:37,018 --> 00:56:39,354
- There I am. There's Dave.
921
00:56:39,354 --> 00:56:41,898
So you want me to swim
with Dave and pretend that's you?
922
00:56:41,898 --> 00:56:44,609
Yes, please do.
Yes, 'cause I'm freezing now.
923
00:56:46,986 --> 00:56:49,280
No, no.
I can make that sound without getting in.
924
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,032
Ooh, is that kelp?
925
00:56:51,741 --> 00:56:53,993
Oh, my God!
926
00:56:57,497 --> 00:57:02,836
This is like there's been some shipwreck,
but yet, we've found the survivors.
927
00:57:04,212 --> 00:57:06,881
- How was that?
- It was actually very nice.
928
00:57:06,881 --> 00:57:09,134
- You enjoyed it?
- Feels brilliant. Actually brilliant.
929
00:57:09,134 --> 00:57:11,094
- You're happy to be alive?
- Yeah. It's amazing.
930
00:57:11,094 --> 00:57:13,513
You go into the sea one person
and you come out another.
931
00:57:13,513 --> 00:57:16,182
- That's lovely to hear.
- It's a great change. Try it.
932
00:57:16,182 --> 00:57:19,436
Yeah, wait till I get back to the hotel
and try it in the pool.
933
00:57:19,436 --> 00:57:20,603
Yes.
934
00:57:20,603 --> 00:57:23,273
Traditionally, this was only for men.
935
00:57:23,273 --> 00:57:25,525
{\an8}- Until 1974...
- Yeah, yeah.
936
00:57:25,525 --> 00:57:26,734
...and then women were allowed.
937
00:57:26,734 --> 00:57:29,446
I was here
when the women rushed in,
938
00:57:29,446 --> 00:57:32,073
and hopped in there
and swam in there naked.
939
00:57:32,866 --> 00:57:34,993
There's a lovely atmosphere down here.
940
00:57:34,993 --> 00:57:37,579
You never come out of a swim
without a smile on your face.
941
00:57:37,579 --> 00:57:40,081
- And if you've any worries--
942
00:57:40,081 --> 00:57:43,751
- If you've any worries, they're just gone.
- I understand the smile on your face.
943
00:57:43,751 --> 00:57:46,671
- Sort of frozen on one's face.
- Probably, yeah.
944
00:57:46,671 --> 00:57:48,715
Well, let's just see
what temperature this water is.
945
00:57:50,008 --> 00:57:52,969
{\an8}- I wouldn't get too close to that.
- No, this is as close as I'm gonna get.
946
00:57:54,304 --> 00:57:57,307
- I told you not to let me get too close.
947
00:57:58,391 --> 00:58:00,643
I have to leave now. Shoes are wet.
948
00:58:05,273 --> 00:58:08,359
Well, we just want to welcome
the Forty Foot man.
949
00:58:08,359 --> 00:58:10,195
- He's been out in the Forty Foot...
- Yes.
950
00:58:11,279 --> 00:58:15,658
- ...and getting splashed around in the bay.
- Thank you. I, um...
951
00:58:15,658 --> 00:58:18,995
It was on the news, I stripped naked
and got in for 45 minutes.
952
00:58:21,206 --> 00:58:24,292
You've seen more of Dublin in the last
three days, he has, than...
953
00:58:24,292 --> 00:58:26,544
- You know, I was--
- ...than we have in the last year.
954
00:58:26,544 --> 00:58:28,630
This also was a gift.
955
00:58:28,630 --> 00:58:31,925
Uh, we went somewhere and got on the DART,
956
00:58:31,925 --> 00:58:34,552
and, uh, spent two hours with Glen.
957
00:58:34,552 --> 00:58:36,054
Aha, well, there you go.
958
00:58:36,054 --> 00:58:39,766
That means you've-- Beard-off, beard-off.
Glen Hansard and you.
959
00:58:39,766 --> 00:58:41,768
He has a beautiful beard, but I--
960
00:58:41,768 --> 00:58:44,521
If you ever get a chance
to get right up close to him,
961
00:58:45,146 --> 00:58:48,024
you'll be hypnotized by his blue eyes.
962
00:58:48,024 --> 00:58:50,318
Oh, my goodness, ladies and gentlemen.
963
00:58:59,118 --> 00:59:01,621
There's a Moya Cannon poem
964
00:59:01,621 --> 00:59:05,833
that probably speaks a lot
to the idea of taking songs
965
00:59:05,833 --> 00:59:09,337
and what happens to songs
and where they go and where music goes.
966
00:59:09,963 --> 00:59:11,464
It's called "Carrying the Songs."
967
00:59:12,215 --> 00:59:14,342
{\an8}It was always those
with little else to carry
968
00:59:14,342 --> 00:59:16,177
{\an8}who carried the songs.
969
00:59:17,554 --> 00:59:20,515
- Deep rhythms-- Ah, [bleep].
970
00:59:20,515 --> 00:59:23,977
Every one of the poems I write,
ends in "Aw, [bleep]."
971
00:59:25,478 --> 00:59:27,480
- Okay, I think I have it.
- All right.
972
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:28,565
Okay, one more time.
973
01:00:30,627 --> 01:00:32,920
So this idea that--
that songs are what we carry...
974
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,006
- Yeah.
- ...even when we have nothing else.
975
01:00:36,591 --> 01:00:38,843
Those who are the victors
write the history.
976
01:00:38,843 --> 01:00:39,927
Yeah.
977
01:00:40,637 --> 01:00:42,513
And those who suffered wrote the songs.
978
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,642
So we have a lot of songs in Ireland.

01:04:22,191 --> 01:04:24,193
- I'll wake up with an idea.
- Mm-hmm.
1021
01:04:24,193 --> 01:04:27,905
So I have to get out of bed,
find the phone, a guitar.
1022
01:04:27,905 --> 01:04:32,702
Looking at my phone this morning,
I have 6,000 voice notes.
1023
01:04:37,748 --> 01:04:43,087
See, to be able to do this, honestly,
it's like you guys are a magic act.
1024
01:04:43,087 --> 01:04:45,214
Well, we have some magic for you.
1025
01:04:45,214 --> 01:04:47,800
We were gonna write a tune for you
called "Forty Foot Man."
1026
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:49,343
When did this happen? How long--
1027
01:04:49,343 --> 01:04:52,513
- This is just downstairs.
- This is, uh, 3:00 a.m. this morning.
1028
01:04:52,513 --> 01:04:53,931
- It started at 3:00 a.m.
- Really?
1029
01:04:53,931 --> 01:04:57,643
So this whole little thing that you're
doing for me now is fresh out of the oven?
1030
01:04:57,643 --> 01:04:58,728
Yeah.
1031
01:04:58,728 --> 01:05:01,063
- That's crazy.
- Try it again. Let me try it again.
1032
01:05:02,273 --> 01:05:04,692
- Do you wanna give it a go?
- Yeah. Okay.
1033
01:05:07,570 --> 01:05:10,531
- Tell me when to start.
- You've written lyrics and everything.
1034
01:05:10,531 --> 01:05:11,949
Oh, yeah.
1035
01:05:12,617 --> 01:05:15,369

- Okay.
- Oh, man.
1053
01:06:27,024 --> 01:06:31,153
The phrase in there that absolutely rings
true is, "Tries the best that he can."
1054
01:06:32,238 --> 01:06:36,283
And I have to tell myself that
every minute of every day.
1055
01:06:36,283 --> 01:06:39,078
Many nice things have happened for me
in my life.
1056
01:06:39,078 --> 01:06:41,789
This is-- would be
right at the top of that list.
1057
01:06:41,789 --> 01:06:47,503
I mean, this is like people could call
and order custom-made U2 songs.
1058
01:06:47,503 --> 01:06:49,255
Well, I don't know about that.
1059
01:06:49,255 --> 01:06:52,133
You see,
the thing is it's about inspiration.
1060
01:06:52,967 --> 01:06:55,803
- Oh, this is too much.
- You gave us the inspiration.
1061
01:06:55,803 --> 01:06:59,181
Well, when do we talk about,
uh, publishing?
1062
01:06:59,181 --> 01:07:01,767
- Publishing? [scoffs] Hey, back off.
- Yeah.
1063
01:07:01,767 --> 01:07:03,686
- Back off, Letterman.

is never conclusive...
1065
01:07:17,116 --> 01:07:19,618
but the search for conclusion."
1066

Yeah, that's right.
1079
01:08:31,732 --> 01:08:35,611
What a thrill to finish "Sunday
Bloody Sunday" all these years later.
1080
01:08:35,611 --> 01:08:39,782
To go back to Derry
and make it present tense.
1081
01:08:39,782 --> 01:08:43,410

Thank you.
1090
01:09:32,918 --> 01:09:36,964
So, all I want now is the answer to
the question, "How do you write a song?"
1091
01:09:36,964 --> 01:09:38,215
And I don't have that yet.
1092
01:09:38,215 --> 01:09:40,509
Not to get into the weeds too much,
1093
01:09:40,509 --> 01:09:43,387
but chords are the foundation
of all melody.
1094
01:09:43,387 --> 01:09:46,599
- So, actually, before we get to melody...
1095
01:09:46,599 --> 01:09:48,976
- ...we need to find the right chords.
1096
01:09:48,976 --> 01:09:50,895
I don't agree with Edge on that one.
1097
01:09:50,895 --> 01:09:55,274
I'm just saying, because think about
what you just did to "One."
1098
01:09:55,274 --> 01:09:56,817
You changed the chords.
1099
01:09:56,817 --> 01:09:58,694
Same melody. Same words.
1100
01:09:58,694 --> 01:10:00,237
- You just did it.
- Actually, I didn't.
1101
01:10:00,237 --> 01:10:02,823
We changed the key
but not the chords.
1102
01:10:02,823 --> 01:10:05,159
We did well. We nearly got to 50 years,
1103
01:10:05,159 --> 01:10:09,496
- and in Marsh's Library it all fell apart.
- It's coming apart.
1104
01:10:09,496 --> 01:10:12,583
Well, yes,
but the fact you're still doing it,
1105
01:10:12,583 --> 01:10:14,335
and you're not tired of doing it,
1106
01:10:14,335 --> 01:10:15,794
- and you're still--
1107
01:10:15,794 --> 01:10:20,132
You know, I've certainly thought about,
um, walking away from U2,
1108
01:10:20,132 --> 01:10:22,551
- and I know every member has.
- No. No.
1109
01:10:22,551 --> 01:10:23,844
- Yeah, we've--
- No, no.
1110
01:10:23,844 --> 01:10:26,096
No, we have all thought about it,
and it's really--
1111
01:10:26,096 --> 01:10:28,390
Thought about it,
but didn't get you out the door.
1112
01:10:28,390 --> 01:10:32,519
But it's really the right instinct
is to question
1113
01:10:32,519 --> 01:10:35,022
whether this should be a going concern
1114
01:10:35,022 --> 01:10:37,816
and what it demands
of all four members of U2.
1115
01:10:37,816 --> 01:10:39,068
Mm-hmm.
1116
01:10:39,068 --> 01:10:42,196
And the reason why I want to go forward is
1117
01:10:42,196 --> 01:10:46,492
because something is stirring
in my voice and in my singing.
1118
01:10:46,992 --> 01:10:50,663
And this desire to write the song
that we haven't got yet, you know?
1119
01:10:50,663 --> 01:10:54,750
We're sort of chasing the dragon
of the song we can't get.
1120
01:10:56,835 --> 01:10:59,088
{\an8}- Do you wanna hear another song?
- Yes.
1121
01:10:59,088 --> 01:11:03,133
Let's try "Breaking Wave,"
'cause we never quite nail the vocal here.
1122
01:11:03,133 --> 01:11:05,052
Let's do something completely different.
1123
01:11:06,887 --> 01:11:08,764

Uh, you know, the early songwriting
was just sketching really.
1141
01:12:41,774 --> 01:12:45,152
Sometimes, you know,
you've just started the song,
1142
01:12:45,861 --> 01:12:49,365
- and it might take 20 years to finish it.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
1143
01:12:50,491 --> 01:12:56,997
But then you realize this song
has been waiting for this moment.

we've been protected, I think, from the
worst excesses of rock-and-roll stardom
