  1. ATYCLB and HTDAAB are filled with Bob songs, but it seems there are a ton of Iris songs spanning back to the beginning of the catalogue:

    Bob: SYCMIOYO, One Step Closer, Kite (devoted on the Elevation Tour)
    Iris: Mofo, Lemon, Out Of Control, I Will Follow, Tomorrow

    I'm probably missing a bunch. Can anyone add to the lists?

    And what are your preferences?

    For me, Mofo, Lemon, & OOC are some of my favorites, period, so I vote Iris songs.
  2. I always thought that Daddy's gonna pay was about Bono's father too, at least I read that somewhere. I could be wrong.

    My favourites are Lemon, Tomorrow and Kite
  3. Actually Mofo is about his mother
    And my favorite is Kite i think...

    Sorry, I looked it up and noticed that i'm completely wrong.
  5. all i konw is that mofos lyrics are amazing ::

    "mother you left and made me someone,
    now im still a child, no one tells me no "

  6. One cannot help but think, music would be a far emptier landscape without one Irish Hewson, and a lot less poetic without one Bob Hewson.

    Hey i'm Irish *pops collar* say watcha feel!!!!!!!!!!!!
    And the dude is.
  11. The songs about his mother are one of the greatest, songs like I Will Follow, Tomorrow but especially a song like Mofo really is intense. He doesn't remember very much of his mother and those songs are based on that, that's very powerfull.
  12. I also think the loss of a mother, sent him looking for reasons, looking for God, and maybe thats why e have songs like Streets.
