    I remember sitting in my room listening to the radio and plinking on my acoustic - when the news came through, everything seemed to stand still

    Just so shocking...

    I didn't sleep well that night, just thinking about it...

    It was just like coming from from school on 9/11, walking through the front door with my brother back from the bus stop, dad was pasty faced and just said "go watch the TV"...
  3. I tried writing a song about it. It was too hard. makes me appreciate song like SBS and POE more. They must have been very hard to write.

    Please aswell...lyrics coming straight from the heart that hit home with that same intensity and power...

    I hear what you mean about trying to write lyrics - I usually have so much trouble just coming up with lyrics etc., I find it easier to write musical stuff, but a couple of weeks back I got something onto paper that worked, which was a bit of a landmark for me. I'd just read the bit in U2 by U2 where Bono talks about how bitter a song POE and what influenced it, and it inspired me to do the same. I'd been having some problems in my own life, so I tried to channel them into something constructive, and for the first time in my life I actually developed the ideas and wrote something worthy of being considered lyrics. It saddened me in a way though, because what I had was just really dark and bitter, which aren't words I'd usually used to describe myself at a person, but it really hit home how much certain things can affect a person...

    Must be off guys

    You have to be considered "Top 20 coolest people on U2start" to get it. Don't know how I snuck mine in!

    No, in all seriousness, just change add to your location that you listed in your profile.

    HA! (at the first comment); I tried to do it a while ago and it vanished within 2 minutes lol, so I don't know whether someone didn't think I should be allowed to or whether I forgot to press "save my details" lol...
