Pain...

“I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts

While bullets rape the night of the merciful.

I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky

And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill.”

~ U2

“The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.” ~ C.S. Lewis

“Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.” ~ C.S. Lewis

(U2 ~ One Tree Hill)

Bono recorded the vocals for One Tree Hill in a single take as he did not think he would be able to do it a second time. It is a song about the bands close friend Greg Carroll who was killed in a motorcycle accident in Dublin. During the 1987 Joshua Tree Tour U2 held off playing the song because Bono was not sure of his emotional state.

“And when it's rainin', rainin' hard

That's when the rain will break a heart.

Rainin', rainin' in your heart

Rainin' in your heart.

Rainin', rain into your heart

Rainin', rainin', rainin'

Rain into your heart.

Rainin', ooh, rain in your heart, yeah.

Feel it..”

~ Bono
