New Year's Day by U2

I tried to take a listen to U2's War album, having bought it more than a year ago (or was it two) but having never listened to it since. I'm like that, i buy something but don't use it for quite sometime, fairly satisfied that I've already bought the item.

Never did i expect that this is probably once of the Quintessential Albums... an equal to Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby and All That You Can Leave Behind.

The album has Sunday Bloody Sunday, but what striked me was thins song, New Year's Day. It was utterly familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time for me, having heard this song used in a movie or two.

All is quiet on New Year's Day.
A world in white gets underway.
I want to be with you, be with you night and day.
Nothing changes on New Year's Day.
On New Year's Day.

I... will be with you again.
I... will be with you again.

Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspaper says, says
Say it's true, it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one.

I... I will begin again
I... I will begin again.

Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
Oh, maybe the time is right.
Oh, maybe tonight.
I will be with you again.
I will be with you again.

And so we are told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
