    Bono has written the lyrics to a new song that will appear (or Google translation) on Black Cat, the new album from the Italian singer Zucchero. The album is due for release on April 29th.

    You may recognize the name of the song: "Streets Of Surrender (SOS)." That's the song that Bono wrote in the aftermath of the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris. He talked about the song and recited at least some of the lyrics during an appearance on CNN in early December. The chorus, at least at the time of that appearance, went like this:

    You're free, baby, baby
    Free now and forever
    It's Christmas time
    You can decide to forget or to remember
    You're free, baby, baby
    I didn't come down here to fight ya
    I came down these streets of love and pride to surrender
    The streets of surrender

    Video of that CNN appearance with the full lyrical recitation is below, and you can read them on our previous article about "Streets Of Surrender."
  2. Lyrics sound like a compilation of Bonoisms. Looking forward to hearing that one.
  3. He's had several Bonoisms lately. The Morning After Innocence has a nice Bongolese flow to it.

    Both should be fun to here though I wish we'd hear some Bono on SoS


  4. Yeah, very envious of those in attendance of these kind of performances. Must be great to see U2 in that kind of environment.

    With regards to the CD:UK performance in particular, IIRC there's a young lady in the audience playing up to the cameras either during 'Miracle Drug' or 'SYCMIOYO' doing some pretty horrendous inappropriate dancing for the song in question for the camera's benefit, always makes me cringe when I see it.

    The guy on the left is Taylor Hawkins, the guy that said that SOI sounded like a fart without actually listening to it even once. Fortunately, U2 has way more class.
