I am forever obsessed with light and sparkle. The U2 show delivered both of these on such a grand scale. If you get the chance, take in the live show. As always, there's nothing like experiencing people in their element---U2 or the guitar techs.
U2 Norman OK 10 18 2009 from Melanie-Pearl on Vimeo.
A sample of U2 lyrics (I didn't "get" some of them until I saw them performed. Wow, what a priviledge!):
"I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time...time...time...time...time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man" -City of Blinding Lights
"When I was all messed up
and had an opera in my head
your love was a lightbulb
hanging over my bed" -Ultraviolet Light
"Restart and reboot yourself...You know your name so punch it in...Hear me cease to speak that I may speak" -Uknown Caller
"I’ve been in every black hole
At the alter of the Dark star
My body's now a begging bowl
That's begging to get back
Begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my consciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control" -Moment of Surrender
