THE
ANSWERS
1. 1980. One of the most notable songs on the album is I Will Follow.
The chorus: "If you walk away, walk away/I walk away, walk away/I will follow" is
reminiscent of Ruth 1:16: "But Ruth replied,'Don't urge me to leave you
or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.
Your people will be my people and your God my God."
2. An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart. Maynard continues: "The sin portion
of the pair, 'An Cat Dubh,' has an attractiveness-of-evil theme that fits with
'Vertigo.'....The redemptive portion of the pair, 'Into the Heart,' is about
rebirth, about becoming an innocent child again. HTDAAB: 'I'm at the door of
the place I started out from and I want back inside.' Enough said." u2sermons.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_u2sermons_archive.html#111140990262

3. The Edge, in CCM Magazine, August 1982, p.24
Revelation 1:16-18: "In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his
mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all
its brilliance. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed
his right hand on me and said:'Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.
I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And
I hold the keys of death and Hades.'"
4. Sunday Bloody Sunday, from the album War (1983)
5. Psalm 40: Bono begins:"I waited patiently for the Lord/He inclined and
heard my cry/He brought me up out of the pit/Out of the miry clay/I will sing,
sing a new song/I will sing, sing a new song..."
However the next line, "How long to sing this song", was adapted from
Psalm 6:3.
From Bono's introduction to The Book of Psalms (1999): "Psalm 40
is interesting in that it suggests a time in which grace will replace karma,
and love will replace the very strict laws of Moses (in other words, fulfil them).
I love that thought. David, who committed some of the most selfish as well as
selfless acts, was depending on it. That the scriptures are brim full of hustlers,
murderers, cowards, adulterers and mercenaries used to shock me. Now it is a
source of great comfort." www.atu2.com/news/article.src?ID=668
The Book of Psalms is one of nine books of the Bible published individually in
Canongate Book's Pocket Canons series. images.amazon.com/images/P/0802136753.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
6. Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) nobelprize.org/peace/laureates/1964/king-bio.html
On April 4, 1968, while King stood on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis,
where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers,
he was assassinated.
Another lyric: "One man betrayed with a kiss".
"While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called
Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him,
but Jesus asked him, 'Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?'" (Luke
22:47-48)
7. The Joshua Tree (1987). Joshua is an anglicanization of the Hebrew
name for Jesus ["Yeshua"] and for centuries the word "tree" has
been a term used to describe the wooden cross on which Christ was crucified.
8. All Along the Watchtower. In 1968 Jimi Hendrix recorded what is considered
by many to be the most notable cover.
Some have hypothesized that Dylan's couplet: "Outside in the distance a
wild cat did growl/Two riders were approaching,[and]the wind began to howl" may
have come from Isaiah's similarly apocalyptic:
"And the lookout shouted, 'Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower;
every night I stay at my post. Look, here comes a man in a chariot with a team
of horses. And he gives back the answer:'Babylon has fallen, has fallen! All
the images of its gods lie shattered on the ground!'" (Isaiah 21:8-9)
See also:Restless Pilgrim: The Spiritual Journey of Bob Dylan by Scott
M. Marshall with Marcia Ford (Relevant Books, 2002)
9. The New Voices Of Freedom, who had recorded their own version. When U2 heard
it, they arranged to sing it with the choir in their Harlem church. This led
to the performance in Madison Square Garden seen in the Rattle and Hum documentary.
John Fischer writes in his 1989 book, True Believers Don't Ask Why:
"Two different recordings of this song were necessary to bring out its full
meaning. The first, on the 'Joshua Tree' recording, is somber and plaintive in
tone, fully capturing the album's pictorial image, the gnarled silhouette of
a Joshua tree standing alone against a desert sky."
"The second, on their soundtrack recording, Rattle and Hum, is entirely
different. It is performed with a simplified rhythm and a black chorus. The style
is entirely gospel and the tone is exalting, jubilant, electrifying."
"I walk away from the first wondering. I walk away from the second with
my eyes sparkling like a child's on Christmas morning. In this setting, 'I still
haven't found what I'm looking for' takes on a new attitude, as if the whole
song reverberates with the question, 'You mean there's more?'"
"Yes. Always."
"Those who are satisfied with what they have, have what they have. Those
who keep asking, seeking, and knocking will find more."
"So I [Jesus] say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you
will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives;
he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." (Luke
11: 9-10).
On the Classic Albums Joshua Tree documentary, co-producer Daniel Lanois
said: "I've always liked gospel music and I encouraged Bono to take it to
that place, which he did. It was a very non-U2 thing to do at the time, you know,
to go up the street of gospel, but I think it opened a bit of a door for them
and allowed them to experiment with that territory. I think Bono did an amazing
job. He's singing at the top of his range, and there's something very compelling,
you know, about somebody pushing themselves. It's like hearing Aretha Franklin
almost, you know. It just jumps on you and you can't help but feel the feeling."
Bono commented: "I think that if I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking
For is successful, it's because it's not affirmative in the ordinary way
of a gospel song. It's restless, yet there's a pure joy in it somewhere." [in Imagine:
A Vision For Christians in the Arts (2001) pp. 112-113]
10. Bruce Cockburn, who sings on Lovers in a Dangerous Time: "When
you're lovers in a dangerous time/Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's
a crime/But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight/Got to kick
at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight/When you're lovers in a dangerous time" -
from the album, Stealing Fire (1984) cockburnproject.net/songs&music/liadt.html
11. U2: Three Chords and the Truth (p 142)
Bono:
"Well, to me faith in Jesus Christ that is not aligned with social justice,
that is not aligned with the poor - it's nothing. How can you read the Gospel
of Luke the physician and call yourself a Christian and have health cuts? How
can you not work towards the ends of social justice?"
"One thing I think people forget is how radical Christ was. People were
put to death for the idea that all men were created equal, which meant essentially
that Jewish peasants were equal to Roman emperors. That was radical. And to me,
there's nothing more radical or revolutionary than love - the love two people
have for each other for instance. Because it's so hard to find. My version of
love is not soft, it's hard. You know, the Christ I read about in the Gospels
is steel not straw." (p 142)
12. Mysterious Ways. A letter writer to BC Christian Info (Feb. 1992)
comments: "Perhaps the best lyric is from 'Mysterious Ways' ... and is the
triumphant Christian epitaph of the sixties Man-Is-Wonderful-Drugs-Will-Set-Us-Free
ethos. Jimi Hendrix, bless him, wrote the exemplary lyric of the psychedelic
age, 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky.' To which absolutely no one else but Bono
could reply: 'If you want to kiss the sky ... Better learn how to kneel. On your
knees, boy!'"
Bono sings on Vertigo: "I can feel your love teaching me how/Your
love is teaching me how, how to kneel/Kneel/Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah..."
Psalm 95:6:"Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord
our Maker ..."
The writer to BC Christian Info mentions another song from Achtung, Baby - Until
the End of the World - calling it "an exquisite presentation of the
Gospel account of The Betrayal, where a plain recitation of the biblical account
is at the same time a modern believer's realization that he, like all of us,
has played Judas. 'In the Garden I was playing the tart ... I kissed your lips
and broke your heart.' And then, at the most glorious of Christian moments: 'In
waves of regret, waves of joy ... I reached out for the One I tried to destroy.'"
From: Rock of Ages: The Passion of Judas
santacruzsentinel.com/archive/2004/April/08/style/stories/04style .htm
"Until the End of the World makes the Passion of the Christ a truly personal
faith journey, taking the listener from the darkness of sin and the tomb "down
the hold, just passing time" into an eternity of love with the One that
U2 believes would wait "until the end of the world."
13."Tell them: 'Everything you know is right.'" And the Greenbelt crowd
erupted. ZooTV exposed the postmodern media as a constant flashing of slogans;
one of them was: 'Everything you know is wrong.'
Willie Williams publishes U2 tour diaries at u2.com/tourinfo/?ct_page=willie.html
14. The Screwtape Letters (1942), a series of letters from Screwtape,
an experienced devil, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior tempter on his first assignment.
Tony Bowden and Jennifer Stewart write in U2's Mysterious Ways www.tmtm.com/sides/u2.html:
"Bono's
'Satan' persona, MacPhisto, has probably raised more Christian
hackles than anything else U2 have ever done, with most Christians
failing to understand what Bono is up to. In an interview with
a prominent Irish paper earlier this year Bono commented that the
whole concept of the MacPhisto character was one of mockery - taking
his idea from the adage 'mock the devil and he will flee from you.'
Such irony and tongue-in-cheek humour is common throughout the
work of the band and is a very effective way of bringing people
to think about the good and evil in the world. Bono mocks to make
his point - and this point is transferred to thousands of people
with an effectiveness that preachers can only dream about."
U2's animated video, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, shows Bono
crossing a street reading a book. In the background one sees a speeding car
headed for him. Bono is knocked to the ground and the book flies out of his
hand. A close-up of the book's cover shows it to be The Screwtape Letters.

15. PopMart (1997). Psalm 34:7 is followed by the artist's own words:"TO
HAVE PEACE IN THIS WORLD IS TO MAKE PEACE WITH GOD, FOR HE CAN SAVE THIS WHOLE
WORLD FROM SIN."
www.thunderstruck.org/finster-angel.htm
The angel was a 3-D creation of Georgia folk artist Reverend Howard Finster
www.finstersparadisegardens.org
The PopMart stage included the world's largest LED screen (56' by 170') that
splashed images, colours and bright pop art from Howard Finster, Andy Warhol,
Keith Haring, and Roy Lichtenstein four stories high.
16. Mofo.
"There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be
filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through
Jesus" - Blaise Pascal (French mathematician, philosopher and physicist,
1623-1662)
From Augustine's autobiography, Confessions, written in AD 397 to 401: "You
have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless until they find rest
in You."
17. Amazing Grace, lyrics by John Newton (Olney Hymns, 1779). The PBS
programme, Amazing Grace with Bill Moyers (1990) is available from www.shoppbs.org
18.
J33-3 (Jeremiah 33:3) "Call to me and I will answer you and
tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." Bono
told Rolling Stone (January 18/01): "It was done like
a piece of graffiti - It's known as 'God's telephone number'."
19. A dove.
"See the bird with a leaf in her mouth"
Genesis 8:10-11:"[Noah] waited seven more days and again sent out the
dove from the ark. When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its
beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded
from the earth."
"After the flood all the colours came out"
Genesis 9:15-16: "... Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy
all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember
the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind
on the earth."

20. In A Little While. On the DVD Elevation 2001 - U2 Live From Boston Bono
introduces the song: "When we started out we were, I guess, 15,16, Larry
was 14, still is. Ah, the Ramones were the band, and ah, without The Ramones
it's hard to imagine that we ... we would have felt like we felt about, you
know, joinin' a band and all. So this is a song that Joey Ramone loved. They
played it to him while he was lying in his hospital bed a couple of months
back. It was the last song that Joey Ramone heard in his life here, and ...
that's an amazing thing for somebody who grew up as a fan of Joey Ramone, I
can tell you that. Anyway, Joey turned this song about a hangover into a gospel
song I think, 'cause that's the way I always hear it now ... through Joey Ramone's
ears."
21. What's So Amazing About Grace? (1997)
From the song Grace: "What once was hurt/What once was friction/What
left a mark/No longer stings/Because Grace makes beauty/Out of ugly things"
According to Noel Gallagher, he had said to Bono: "Look, you believe in
it all ... I'm Catholic same as you. Can you explain it to me?" Gallagher
told Sunday Times writer Robert Crampton: "We had a good three-hour
conversation about his religious philosophy, which is basically,'Go to God,
tell Him what all your flaws are and say, 'Can you work with me?' ..."
"And [Bono's] dad had just died. How difficult must that be? Takes time
out because two people were interested. What a guy."
Steve Beard writes in Spiritual Journeys (2003):"Bono had attached
a little note to the gift:'I don't know if you were serious the other night,
but here's something that might give you a bit more of an understanding.'" (p.
252)
22. AIDS. Bono commented:"Christ's example is being demeaned by the Church
if they ignore the new leprosy, which is AIDS. The Church is the sleeping giant
here. If it wakes up to what's really going on in the rest of the world, it
has a real role to play. If it doesn't, it will be irrelevant."

and Beth Maynard, editors, Cowley Publications, 2003). u2sermons.blogspot.com
During U2's Elevation Tour, Bono quoted from Peterson's Bible paraphrase The
Message during the opening moments of Where the Streets Have No Name: "What
can I give back to God for the blessings he's poured out on me? I'll lift high
the cup of salvation - A toast to God! I'll pray in the name of God; I'll complete
what I promised God I'd do, And I'll do it together with his people."[Psalm
116: 12-14]

24. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.
Pryds writes: "Couples who have the song played at their weddings boldly
shatter all of our easy assumptions about romantic love and happily-ever-after,
by using this song to declare their deeper search for God. And friends and
families, preparing to bury their young people, choose this song to be sung
at funerals as a reminder that the search and struggle of the deceased is finally
over." (in Get Up Off Your Knees: Preaching the U2 Catalog, p.
102)

28. Yahweh. The chorus: "Yahweh, Yahweh/Always pain before a child
is born/Yahweh, Yahweh/Still I'm waiting for the dawn"
Kenneth Tanner writes on nationalreview.com: "'Yahweh' is a postmodern
Christmas hymn. It looks in hope to the birth of Christ ('always pain before
a child is born') as it presses home a question the Father's long-awaited gift
evokes in honest souls: 'Why the dark before the dawn?'"
Yahweh is one of the most important names for God in the Old Testament, from
the verb, "to be," meaning simply but profoundly, "I am who
I am". The Hebrew word "Yhwh" was the name by which God revealed
Himself to Moses in the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). And from the New Testament: "I
tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I
am!" (John 8:58)
Bono: "The title's an ancient name that's not meant to be spoken. I got
around it by singing it. I hope I don't offend anyone."
29. The Politics of God: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't
Get It (2005) by Jim Wallis, editor-in-chief of Sojourners magazine. www.sojo.net
30. Adam Clayton
Clayton: "We see it as a more joyous and up record. I mean, there's always
a degree of introspection and melancholy to what we do. The other end of the
spectrum is there is also joy and celebration. And on this record, in particular,
we really complete the journey from fear to faith, and that's sort of the way
the running order on the record goes, from Vertigo through to Yahweh.
So Vertigo is an expression of vulnerability, I guess, and by the time you
get through to Yahweh, it's an expression of faith."
Q: "Was that progression designed to provide a sort of cathartic release?"
Clayton: "I think it's there if you're looking for it. If you go through
the record to One Step Closer and Yahweh, I think you reach a
place of peace, and I think it's a beautiful, tranquil place."
The full interview with Adam Clayton: entertainment.signonsandiego.com/profile/274403
www.signonsandiego.com/news/features/20050328-9999-1c28u2.html
From Bill Flannigan's 1996 book U2: At The End Of The World:
[to Bono] "Do you think that you, Larry, and Edge are still on the same
wavelength in your beliefs?"
"What about Adam?" Bono says quickly. "Adam's the same. I mean,
nobody is exactly the same, but Adam's a believer. I think that the spirit will
more and more become the important thing over the next ten years, when it becomes
clear that God isn't dead, Nietzsche is." (p. 480)
