Songs For Saturday: U2

 


Since this past Wednesday was St. Patrick's Day, let's cast the spotlight for today's Songs For Saturday onto Ireland's biggest musical export, U2. 

Kicking off our playlist is U2's first single, "I Will Follow" 


A very raw, very primal composition. And it's hard to imagine that the guys from U2 were ever so young.

U2's style would evolve to include some more complex melodies with lush production values.  One of my favorite songs from this point in U2's development is a our next song on the playlist, "The Unforgettable Fire"




Wrapping up our U2 focused post today is this start of the century entry from U2, a song with melodic verses and a driving, kinetically charged chorus,. Here is U2 with  "Beautiful Day".




And that is that for today's Songs For Saturday. 

Until next time, remember to be good to one another and to always keep the music alive.
