    Lyrics:
    In the howlin' wind
    Comes a stingin' rain
    See it drivin' nails
    Into the souls on the tree of pain.
    From the firefly
    A red orange glow
    See the face of fear
    Runnin' scared in the valley below.
    Bullet the blue sky
    Bullet the blue sky
    Bullet the blue
    Bullet the blue.
    In the locust wind
    Comes a rattle and hum.
    Jacob wrestled the angel
    And the angel was overcome.
    You plant a demon seed
    You raise a flower of fire.
    We see them burnin' crosses
    See the flames, higher and higher.
    Woh, woh, bullet the blue sky
    Bullet the blue sky
    Bullet the blue
    Bullet the blue.
    Suit and tie comes up to me
    His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
    Like all the colours of a royal flush
    And he's peelin' off those dollar bills
    (Slappin' 'em down)
    One hundred, two hundred.
    And I can see those fighter planes
    And I can see those fighter planes
    Across the tin huts as children sleep
    Through the alleys of a quiet city street.
    Up the staircase to the first floor
    We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
    As a man breathes into his saxophone
    And through the walls you hear the city groan.
    Outside, is America
    Outside, is America
    America.
    See across the field
    See the sky ripped open
    See the rain comin' through the gapin' wound
    Howlin' the women and children
    Who run into the arms
    Of America.

    One of the most important bass riffs in rock history. Simple yet definitive. Hope Adam Clayton knows that. Also knocks my socks off how the Edge managed to make a guitar sound like a full on air raid. I think it’d be too cool to hear a RATM cover of this.

      What are you smoking. What does 'big' in this context mean? U2 are not, and never will be on a par with the Beatles, certainly not in terms of song quality and never in terms of ability. U2 have written maybe three good songs, the rest are album fillers: the Beatles wrote so many good songs it's impossible to name many bad ones.

The Beatles are amazing but they also have their own critics about the quality of their music. U2 have their own identity away from the Beatles. They are both a band of that particular time.

      It isn't as strong or clear as it was 30 years ago, sure. But for his lack of vocal range or colour or power he adds other intonations to keep the song fresh. He will never sound like 1987 again, and if he did, people would complain about how boring U2 are only ever singing the same stuff over and over.

    Everything in this song is TIGHT AF:
    Guitar-wise, you have The Edge proving he's a tone monster, AND that he CAN pull off a solo if he wants to. The bass and the drums are simple, yet effective. Adam Clayton is one hell of a bass player, he sticks to simple stuff so that Edge can rip it on guitar and still have a solid base. Larry's drums are tight all the way, and the breakdowns are solid AF. Then there's Bono, think what you want of him, but he's a great singer and that's just the way it is. Of course, he has a little trouble hitting those high notes but he manages to come through, proving he's still got it... U2 at their finest lml

      There are musicians who play beautifully and well.
      And then you get musicians who are...artists. U2 has been like this since their first album. I'm glad to see that they still have enough compassion to get pissed off at man's inhumanity to man.
      And Bono has every right to express his opinion about "the orange one". Just as I have to understand that there is half a country that likes Trump, Trump supporters have to understand that it's okay to not like their guy.

    Outside its America
    In a far off palace in a far-fetched land
    Another baby plays a baby grand
    Fingers on the keys of a siren song
    Finger on the button of oblivion
    And all I can think of is my son

    Holy crap. This was incredible. How have I never seen this before??
    This track highlights one of my biggest pet peeves with how this band is viewed..
    Adam and Larry almost seem to be an afterthought in terms of public perception. To an extent I get why that is. Bono and Edge are overwhelmingly considered the face of the band bc of how polarizing they both are in different ways, their names, and because they have such an instantly recognizable iconic appearance. But to me Adam and Larry played just as much of a roll, not only in what they’ve been able to accomplish as a band commercially, but also with their pioneering sound. Especially in the early 80s up until this album was created. For whatever reason over the years they going going to take sort of a backseat. But in early days songs like Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bad, and Bullet the Blue Sky are all drum/bass dominated tracks. Which was hella rare for that era of music.

    Wow. Amazing. I love the changed-up lyrics and guitar. I don't know how these guys manage to make a song sound fresh that they've been doing for 30 years but they sure do! I love you, Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam. Your music has blessed my life.

    In the locust howling wind,
    comes the rattle and hum,
    Jacob wrestled the angle,
    And the angel was overcome.
    You planted a demon seed
    And raised a flower of fire.
    Beautiful poetry.... Amazing U2. My favorite band. My whole life...

      The poetry of misery, in which Bono revels like a pig in sh1t.

      He has been playing in the mud of politics for a while now. But they have great music and lyrics...

      They have musical talent and some good early songs were written - but at heart they are misery-mongers - they work for the Globalist criminals - the Bushes, the Clintons, the Popes, the Rothschilds - the whole nest of humanity-hating vipers.

    U2 is still making my life better with old or new songs. Great way to start 2021✌️Bringing music back in any form is what we need 👍
