2: Running To The Standstill:

A twangy guitar plucked in the introduction leads you through a couple’s tale of drug addiction, as they search for a score in 1980s Dublin. “Suffer the needle chill / She’s running to stand still.” The song’s lyrics and flow are crafted perfectly between Larry Mullen Jr.’s drum beat and Bono’s soft-spoken vocals that bring it to an uneasy, listless calm.

3: Sunday Bloody Sunday:

This song was without a doubt the band’s most political post-punk anthem. The song was the band’s response to the Bloody Sunday massacre in 1972 when the British Army shot and killed 14 unarmed civilian protesters in the Northern Irish town of Derry. The song is an on the edge, take-to-the-streets roar with one core message: No more war.

4: New Year's Day:

This song had a cold and ashen with the Edge’s icy piano lead. This song is a War track that combats bleakness with a hope for rebirth “I will begin again”. Adam Clayton’s bass line ties the whole song together for a wintery track. The song is lyrically inspired by the Polish Solidarity movement of the early ’80s, but applicable to any challenge that requires rising above.
