Growing up in Ireland,
4
00:00:19.602 --> 00:00:23.106
it felt as if the future
was always somewhere else.
5
00:00:25.567 --> 00:00:29.070
In our Dublin,
it felt as if there were no present,
6
00:00:29.988 --> 00:00:31.990
let alone past or future.
7
00:00:41.124 --> 00:00:42.125
In our band,
8
00:00:42.125 --> 00:00:46.421
we felt estranged from any traditions
we could have held on to.
9
00:00:49.507 --> 00:00:53.762
And the question
that began to intrigue us was,
10
00:00:54.471 --> 00:00:57.474
"How do we fit into this story?"
11
00:01:06.608 --> 00:01:08.568
I'm looking for the peanut butter cups.
12
00:01:09.277 --> 00:01:10.945
I don't think we got some here.

18
00:01:28.838 --> 00:01:30.173
Felix? I'm Dave.
19
00:01:31.049 --> 00:01:33.718
Nice to see you.
I'm trying to get to Dublin.
20
00:01:34.385 --> 00:01:35.720

great about the show tonight.

This is the biggest, the greatest,
23
00:01:55.782 --> 00:01:59.119 line:5%
most exciting, most influential
rock-and-roll band in the world.
24
00:01:59.911 --> 00:02:01.913
Ladies and gentlemen, once again, U2.
25
00:02:08.545 --> 00:02:10.213
U2, ladies and gentlemen.
26
00:02:12.549 --> 00:02:14.134
- Hi, Dave.
- Oh, my goodness.
27
00:02:14.134 --> 00:02:16.553
- A pleasure to see you again.
- Good to see you.
28
00:02:16.553 --> 00:02:18.638
Thank you for letting me be part of this.
29
00:02:18.638 --> 00:02:21.683
Good God. What expectations
you have set for yourself.
30
00:02:22.725 --> 00:02:25.478
Writer, poetry and prose, musician.
31
00:02:25.478 --> 00:02:27.021
Something else I forgot.
32
00:02:27.021 --> 00:02:30.942
My, um, self-esteem... never been lower.
33
00:02:30.942 --> 00:02:32.485
- I just wanna tell you...
34
00:02:32.485 --> 00:02:33.653
...the door is now closed.
35
00:02:33.653 --> 00:02:36.739
- You and I are not gonna be best friends.
36
00:02:37.365 --> 00:02:40.368
D-D-Do you like
retrospectives of yourself?
37
00:02:40.368 --> 00:02:42.829
Do you like looking over your shoulder
at this point in your life?
38
00:02:42.829 --> 00:02:43.913
No.
39
00:02:43.913 --> 00:02:46.332
Okay. Well, that's all we need.
Thank you very much.
40
00:02:48.126 --> 00:02:50.628
Let's-- Let's talk about music.
41
00:02:50.628 --> 00:02:54.757
Years of reflection has caused you
to change lyrics in some of these songs.
42
00:02:54.757 --> 00:02:58.011
Some of them you thought perhaps
were never finished in the first place.
43
00:02:58.011 --> 00:02:59.095
Yeah, that's right.
44
00:03:00.513 --> 00:03:04.309
We wanted to, sort of,
strip away the artifice
45
00:03:04.309 --> 00:03:07.395
that inevitably emerges after
you've been around this long.
46
00:03:09.981 --> 00:03:14.903
In the isolation of the pandemic,
it was almost like the question became,
47
00:03:14.903 --> 00:03:17.739
"What is left when everything
is stripped away?"
48
00:03:18.323 --> 00:03:20.033
But where do you take it?
49
00:03:20.033 --> 00:03:23.536
All right, yeah.
Let's take it from the top.
50
00:03:24.204 --> 00:03:26.956
Do you-- Do you wanna know
what I did during the pandemic?
51
00:03:26.956 --> 00:03:28.958
- What did you do?
- Calligraphy.
52
00:03:28.958 --> 00:03:30.126
- Really?
- Yeah.
53
00:03:30.126 --> 00:03:31.669

- It's my first time in Dublin.
107
00:06:15.083 --> 00:06:17.377
My first time out of the house,
as a matter of fact.
108
00:06:17.919 --> 00:06:20.129
Tell us a little bit
about this establishment.
109
00:06:20.129 --> 00:06:21.672
InDub Reggae Store.
110
00:06:21.672 --> 00:06:23.966
- The only reggae shop in Ireland.
- The only reggae shop?
111
00:06:23.966 --> 00:06:25.510
Yeah, the only reggae shop in Ireland.
112
00:06:25.510 --> 00:06:28.346
I'm interested in a wheel of cheese.
113
00:06:28.346 --> 00:06:30.515
I've never purchased a wheel of cheese.
114
00:06:31.057 --> 00:06:33.768 line:5%
I would like to buy two hats
for friends of mine.
115
00:06:33.768 --> 00:06:35.186

116

One's about like this,
and one's about like that.
117
00:06:39.982 --> 00:06:43.486
Is there anyone here that can help
an old man carrying a cheese?
118
00:06:44.779 --> 00:06:47.448
I'd like to welcome you
all today to the U2 walking tour.
119
00:06:47.990 --> 00:06:50.076
There are certain bands,
when I listen to them,
120
00:06:50.076 --> 00:06:53.079
I just see streetscapes open up before me.
121
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.706
And Dublin and U2 is deeply connected.
122
00:06:57.125 --> 00:07:02.797 line:5%
In October '77, a great British punk band
called The Clash played two gigs
123
00:07:02.797 --> 00:07:05.550 line:5%
in the Examinations Hall
of Trinity College, Dublin.
124
00:07:05.550 --> 00:07:09.137
And in the crowd was a young,
impressionable Bono.
125
00:07:10.930 --> 00:07:14.267
Seeing The Clash onstage
singing these angry songs
126
00:07:14.267 --> 00:07:16.436
was a moment of awakening.
127
00:07:17.103 --> 00:07:20.731
Later on, when they're arguably
the biggest band in the world,
128
00:07:21.441 --> 00:07:23.901
they never really forget
this part of Dublin,
129
00:07:24.735 --> 00:07:26.737
and everything it does for them.
130
00:07:29.282 --> 00:07:31.617
I-I was told there would be a hot meal.
131
00:07:38.708 --> 00:07:40.543
Let's, uh, go back.
132
00:07:43.921 --> 00:07:46.424
- Exactly what you don't wanna do.
133
00:07:46.424 --> 00:07:49.677
How old were you kids
when you got together and, uh...
134
00:07:49.677 --> 00:07:53.181
So in '76, I would've been, uh, 15.
135
00:07:53.181 --> 00:07:54.265
Fifteen?
136
00:07:58.186 --> 00:07:59.187
That.
137
00:07:59.187 --> 00:08:03.441
At age 11,
I went to that school for one year.
138
00:08:03.441 --> 00:08:05.026
They asked me to leave.
139
00:08:05.026 --> 00:08:07.487
Had they not have,
I would not have met this man.
140
00:08:07.487 --> 00:08:08.738
- Really?
- This is true.
141
00:08:10.948 --> 00:08:13.201
Tell me about
your relationship with the band.
142
00:08:13.201 --> 00:08:14.285
When did that begin?
143
00:08:14.285 --> 00:08:16.329 line:5%

00:09:56.929 --> 00:09:59.432
And this was part of a pushback
175
00:09:59.432 --> 00:10:02.852
against the conservative society
that we were a part of.
176
00:10:06.105 --> 00:10:08.774 line:5%
- So here we have the Edge.
- Yeah.
177
00:10:09.358 --> 00:10:10.818 line:5%
- Bono.
- Mm-hmm.
178
00:10:10.818 --> 00:10:12.778 line:5%
- Then we have Adam.
- Mm-hmm.
179
00:10:12.778 --> 00:10:14.196 line:5%
And we have Larry.
180
00:10:14.196 --> 00:10:16.657
When you hear what
their original Village names were,
181
00:10:16.657 --> 00:10:19.243
you would understand why
they didn't run with them.
182
00:10:19.243 --> 00:10:21.704
So, Larry's was--
He was known as "The Jam Jar."
183
00:10:21.704 --> 00:10:22.955
The Jam Jar?
184
00:10:22.955 --> 00:10:25.499
Adam was "Mrs. Burns."
185
00:10:25.499 --> 00:10:28.836
The bass player is called "Mrs. Burns."
186
00:10:28.836 --> 00:10:29.920
- Yeah.
- Ah!
187
00:10:29.920 --> 00:10:33.466
♪ We got spirit, we got soul ♪
188
00:10:33.466 --> 00:10:36.802
♪ My brothers and I are out of control ♪
189
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.222
We had no aspirations beyond
190
00:10:40.222 --> 00:10:43.142
just something fun to do
on a Saturday afternoon.
191
00:10:43.851 --> 00:10:48.272
But then, weirdly,
as we started to play together,
192
00:10:48.272 --> 00:10:51.442
and at first atrociously badly,
193
00:10:51.442 --> 00:10:53.861
we recognized some chemistry there.
194
00:10:57.239 --> 00:11:01.243
My, uh, nickname, "Dumbass."
195
00:11:01.243 --> 00:11:03.329 line:5%
- Yeah.
196
00:11:11.379 --> 00:11:14.090 line:5%
You and I last saw
one another in the early aughts.
197
00:11:14.090 --> 00:11:16.550 line:5%
The early aughts.
We were on doing your show.
198
00:11:16.550 --> 00:11:19.261 line:5%
Our next guests are a pair
of talented singer-songwriters
199
00:11:19.261 --> 00:11:20.846
who star in the motion picture Once...
200
00:11:20.846 --> 00:11:25.059
In those days, I don't think
you and I talked much of anything
201
00:11:25.059 --> 00:11:27.561
other than here he is,
and thank you and good night.
202
00:11:27.561 --> 00:11:30.189
Yeah, you stuck your head into the room.
We said a quick hello.
203
00:11:30.189 --> 00:11:31.524
- It was a big deal.
204
00:11:31.524 --> 00:11:34.110
Other than that,
we were all told, "Avoid David."
205
00:11:34.110 --> 00:11:36.696
- And don't look me in the eye.
- That's what we were told, yeah.
206
00:11:36.696 --> 00:11:39.115
Hi, Glen. That was beautiful. Excuse me.
207
00:11:39.115 --> 00:11:41.492
Your eyes, by the way,
stunningly beautiful.
208
00:11:41.492 --> 00:11:42.743
Oh, thank you, David.
209
00:11:42.743 --> 00:11:44.328
Uh, explain where we are.
210
00:11:44.328 --> 00:11:46.080
We're in Dublin.
Well, we're in Greystones.
211
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.292
So we're on the kind of southern edge
of the "swerve of shore bend of bay."
212
00:11:50.292 --> 00:11:52.378
- To quote Joyce. We're in-- Yeah.
- Hmm.
213
00:11:52.378 --> 00:11:55.089
Oh, you've been here less than a minute,
and you're quoting Joyce.
214
00:11:55.089 --> 00:11:56.507
- Good Lord.
215
00:11:56.507 --> 00:11:59.677
You know, I'm meeting you.
I have to impress you with the Irishness.
216
00:12:01.303 --> 00:12:03.222
We're gonna talk
about your buddies, U2.
217
00:12:03.222 --> 00:12:06.183
Yeah. Well,
I've known them pretty much all my life.
218
00:12:06.809 --> 00:12:10.312
When I was ten years old,
my uncle took me to see the Police,
219
00:12:11.188 --> 00:12:13.816
but the opening band was U2.
220
00:12:20.448 --> 00:12:22.783
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah. Yeah.
221
00:12:22.783 --> 00:12:25.453
And everyone, the whole, like--
222
00:12:25.453 --> 00:12:29.331
This guy came onstage
and he was like-- he was possessed.
223
00:12:36.172 --> 00:12:39.383
- Everybody left going, "Who were they?"
- Mm-hmm.
224
00:12:39.383 --> 00:12:42.136
And they were Irish. They were Dubliners.
225
00:12:42.136 --> 00:12:44.388
They were from the same town I'm from.
226
00:12:45.473 --> 00:12:47.099
And so we all became obsessed.
227
00:12:53.147 --> 00:12:55.107 line:5%
It didn't sound like anything else.
228
00:12:55.107 --> 00:12:59.445 line:5%
Not just in Ireland, but anything else we
were hearing from America or from Britain.
229
00:12:59.445 --> 00:13:01.155
U2 were completely different.
230
00:13:01.155 --> 00:13:04.033
♪ I was on the outside when you said ♪
231
00:13:04.033 --> 00:13:06.702
♪ You said you needed me ♪
232
00:13:06.702 --> 00:13:09.663
So not just America, uh, but globally,
233
00:13:09.663 --> 00:13:14.251
why do people respond, uh,
emotionally to this music?
234
00:13:14.251 --> 00:13:18.297
Well, the first time you heard
"I Will Follow" on the radio,
235
00:13:18.297 --> 00:13:20.257
at that time
where everything was trying to show
236
00:13:20.257 --> 00:13:21.884
how much you were against everything,
237
00:13:21.884 --> 00:13:28.933
you know, U2 was trying to express
something with this force of sincerity.
238
00:13:30.434 --> 00:13:33.145
They had a purpose and they had
an earnestness in their music
239
00:13:33.145 --> 00:13:34.605
that you could easily dismiss.
240
00:13:34.605 --> 00:13:39.026
Because Bono was just-- He was like, uh,
he was strident with something pure.
241
00:13:39.026 --> 00:13:41.237
♪ Why, oh, why? ♪
242
00:13:41.237 --> 00:13:44.532
The first album was made--
I would've been 18.
243
00:13:45.699 --> 00:13:48.285
So we were kids, really,
when we started on it.
244
00:13:49.245 --> 00:13:51.664
Did you have a vision
for your future at all,
245
00:13:51.664 --> 00:13:53.958
or was it day-to-day, week-to-week?
246
00:13:53.958 --> 00:13:58.212
It was about our concerts
and about, you know, the U2 audience live
247
00:13:58.212 --> 00:14:02.633
that gave us a constant sense of
moving up and moving forward.
248
00:14:06.428 --> 00:14:08.514
It was a complete game changer.
249
00:14:08.514 --> 00:14:11.350
U2 kind of cleared the decks.
250
00:14:11.350 --> 00:14:15.020
Like, any bands that were going,
U2 were suddenly, boom.
251
00:14:15.020 --> 00:14:17.481
♪ I was looking through the window
I was lost ♪
252
00:14:17.481 --> 00:14:19.817
Nobody ever would've
thought that U2 would be the band.
253
00:14:19.817 --> 00:14:22.403
Because they were, kind of, just, like,
awkward and--
254
00:14:22.403 --> 00:14:24.405
But they had something.
They had a kind of a--
255
00:14:24.405 --> 00:14:26.490
They had a message in their songs.
256
00:14:31.495 --> 00:14:33.414
Thank you. God bless you.
257
00:14:39.712 --> 00:14:41.755
Wanna go see a U2 show tomorrow?
258
00:14:41.755 --> 00:14:44.091
There's a, uh, free U2 show.
259
00:14:44.091 --> 00:14:45.175
- Oh.
- Yeah.
260
00:14:45.175 --> 00:14:47.219
Are you familiar with the band U2?
261
00:14:47.219 --> 00:14:49.388
- Yes. Yes.
- Have you ever seen them live?
262
00:14:49.930 --> 00:14:51.724
Uh, not live, believe it or not.
263
00:14:51.724 --> 00:14:53.684
- They're doing a show in town here.
- Yeah. Yeah.
264
00:14:53.684 --> 00:14:55.060
- Tomorrow night.
- Yeah.
265
00:14:55.060 --> 00:14:56.604
You should come to the show.
266
00:14:56.604 --> 00:14:59.773
Just mention my name and you'll get in.
267
00:14:59.773 --> 00:15:02.568
Just say, uh,
"Dave said it would be okay if I came."
268
00:15:02.568 --> 00:15:04.403
Yeah, okay. I'd love to.
That'd be a pleasure.
269
00:15:04.403 --> 00:15:07.114
Yeah, you should--
For God's sake, you should go. Yes.
270
00:15:07.114 --> 00:15:09.491
- My work here is finished.
271
00:15:09.491 --> 00:15:12.244
But I think what's interesting now is
that I think there's--
272
00:15:12.244 --> 00:15:14.496
they're going back to the beginning again.
273
00:15:16.373 --> 00:15:19.543
Your biggest competition
is wanting to be safe.
274
00:15:19.543 --> 00:15:22.796 line:5%
It feels really good
to sell 20 million albums,
275
00:15:22.796 --> 00:15:24.715 line:5%
or whatever the heck it is.
276
00:15:24.715 --> 00:15:27.217 line:5%
And you know what that sounds like.
277
00:15:27.217 --> 00:15:31.388
But to say, "No, we're gonna change it.
278
00:15:31.388 --> 00:15:33.641
And we're gonna bring
our audience with us."
279
00:15:33.641 --> 00:15:37.227
- How do you sing this warm-up, the Edge?
280
00:15:38.395 --> 00:15:39.605
Uh, let me guess.
281
00:15:43.067 --> 00:15:47.237
Your biggest foe there
is your fear of moving forward.
282
00:15:49.239 --> 00:15:52.159
See, the problem with these is
they don't tell you where to go.
283
00:15:53.160 --> 00:15:54.620
Oh, we'll find our way.
284
00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:56.121
- Don't you worry.
285
00:16:04.588 --> 00:16:06.298 line:5%
This is a bit of a day, isn't it?
286
00:16:07.049 --> 00:16:08.300
Lovely.
287
00:16:12.680 --> 00:16:15.182
- Yeah. Seeing them for the first time.
288
00:16:16.517 --> 00:16:17.935
- What a venue.
- Yes.
289
00:16:17.935 --> 00:16:19.395
- Fantastic.
- Yeah, yeah.
290
00:16:19.395 --> 00:16:22.439
Is everything you do still
within your comfort zone?
291
00:16:22.439 --> 00:16:24.024
Rarely.
292
00:16:24.024 --> 00:16:26.485
Yeah, the-- I'm rarely in my comfort zone.
293
00:16:26.485 --> 00:16:28.737
And I think that's been difficult
for the band,
294
00:16:28.737 --> 00:16:30.614
because I don't let them be in it either.
295
00:16:32.574 --> 00:16:37.997
For me, music and songwriting is just,
you know, heart surgery.
296
00:16:47.631 --> 00:16:48.632
Oh, no.
297
00:16:49.591 --> 00:16:50.592
Thank you very much.
298
00:16:53.512 --> 00:16:54.847
Thank you.
299
00:16:54.847 --> 00:16:57.725
Do we have an idea
of what we're in for tonight?
300
00:16:59.018 --> 00:17:03.272
You will be very, very happy
you did have this experience.
301
00:17:04.898 --> 00:17:06.066
Are you ready?
302
00:17:07.401 --> 00:17:09.611
Bono and the Edge.
303
00:17:23.459 --> 00:17:24.585

The genesis of the band is always linked
with religious, Christian influence.
361
00:20:32.522 --> 00:20:34.149
To me that sounds unusual.
362
00:20:34.149 --> 00:20:37.402
When you compare it to the United States
with a rock-and-roll band,
363
00:20:37.402 --> 00:20:41.240
it's kids smoking weed in their garage
and wanting to meet girls.
364
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:43.200
- We'll get to that.
365
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:45.118
Is that because of Ireland?
366
00:20:46.078 --> 00:20:48.497
Well, I should draw you a map.
367
00:20:49.790 --> 00:20:50.791
Okay, so...
368
00:20:50.791 --> 00:20:54.044
Just give me a second
till I get a rough Ireland for you.
369
00:20:54.044 --> 00:20:55.629
Okay, that's close enough.
370
00:20:55.629 --> 00:20:58.840
So we live on a tiny island
in the North Sea,
371
00:20:58.840 --> 00:21:02.261
brutalized by occasional bad weather
and some difficult neighbors.
372
00:21:03.178 --> 00:21:06.014
And in the country of Northern Ireland,
373
00:21:07.057 --> 00:21:10.852
the Northern Protestants
outnumbered the Catholics.
374
00:21:10.852 --> 00:21:13.105
What caused the border to be established?
375
00:21:13.105 --> 00:21:15.274
Our War of Independence.
376
00:21:15.274 --> 00:21:16.817
So who do I dislike in this?
377
00:21:16.817 --> 00:21:19.486
- I'm-- I'm eager to dislike somebody.
378
00:21:19.486 --> 00:21:20.862
I'm part of the great divide.
379
00:21:20.862 --> 00:21:22.906
I wanna dislike--
Shall I dislike the British?
380
00:21:22.906 --> 00:21:24.825
- No. No.
- Okay.
381
00:21:24.825 --> 00:21:27.035
- Whoever you don't like, I don't like.
382
00:21:27.035 --> 00:21:30.289
So chief among the differences here
still would be the religion?
383
00:21:30.289 --> 00:21:31.373
Well, yeah.
384
00:21:33.333 --> 00:21:36.837 line:5%
When we were kids,
we were in the middle of the Troubles.
385
00:21:36.837 --> 00:21:41.174
British troops, called to
break up a protest, killed 13 Catholics.
386
00:21:42.217 --> 00:21:45.887
It was just a constant drip, drip, drip
when we were forming the band.
387
00:21:47.055 --> 00:21:51.059
So, we were looking for a way
to express our faith
388
00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:52.769
that wasn't obviously religious.
389
00:21:53.395 --> 00:21:57.899
And there was a kind of movement
in Ireland in the late '70s,
390
00:21:58.692 --> 00:22:00.861
uh, which was called Charismatic Renewal.
391
00:22:02.112 --> 00:22:04.448
And we met some religious people.
392
00:22:04.448 --> 00:22:06.950
They'd no possessions, particularly.
393
00:22:06.950 --> 00:22:08.785
They lived a very disciplined life.
394
00:22:08.785 --> 00:22:10.704
We thought they were
a bit punk-rock actually.
395
00:22:11.580 --> 00:22:14.416
And they seemed to accept us
for who we are.
396
00:22:14.916 --> 00:22:19.171
But they'd, kind of, started to become
much more like a conventional church.
397
00:22:19.171 --> 00:22:22.466
And it was then that the leadership,
sort of, came to us and said,
398
00:22:22.466 --> 00:22:26.803
"Look, you should be full-time for God,
not this rock-and-roll thing."
399
00:22:27.429 --> 00:22:29.681
Music was just something
that we had to give up
400
00:22:29.681 --> 00:22:33.769
because these people felt
rock and roll was kind of nonsense.
401
00:22:34.478 --> 00:22:37.939
And that the real job
was fixing a broken world.
402
00:22:38.690 --> 00:22:41.443
And Edge was in some kind of--
403
00:22:42.694 --> 00:22:43.945
Yeah, agony.
404
00:22:44.571 --> 00:22:48.325
So it was taken that seriously that
it might actually put an end to the band.
405
00:22:48.325 --> 00:22:49.409
Yeah.
406
00:22:49.409 --> 00:22:54.915
Because if we are to be useful,
as it were, in music, well, what is--
407
00:22:54.915 --> 00:22:56.416
How's that gonna look?
408
00:22:57.042 --> 00:23:03.507
So I spent this couple of weeks really
trying to figure out what felt right.
409
00:23:05.050 --> 00:23:06.802
It was still nagging at us,
410
00:23:06.802 --> 00:23:11.640
and the actual answer came in the shape
411
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:14.351
of a song that Edge started.
412
00:23:18.855 --> 00:23:23.693
And then on one particular day,
this rage poured out.
413
00:23:23.693 --> 00:23:28.031
This frustration
at not being able to write,
414
00:23:28.031 --> 00:23:30.534
not knowing
if I should be in a rock-and-roll band.
415
00:23:31.368 --> 00:23:34.204
Um, what the future might hold.
416
00:23:34.204 --> 00:23:35.956

417
00:23:35.956 --> 00:23:37.124

I hope it's in my lifetime,

00:30:33.957 --> 00:30:36.084
When you're writing a song,
and you end up with...
515
00:30:36.084 --> 00:30:38.753
♪ Hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo ♪
516
00:30:39.838 --> 00:30:42.257
- Who-- Who provided that inspiration?
517
00:30:42.257 --> 00:30:45.718
Bec-- I'm telling you, it's lovely,
but who says, "Okay, here's where you do"...
518
00:30:45.718 --> 00:30:47.720
♪ Hoo-hoo ♪
519
00:30:48.346 --> 00:30:51.516
We like to ask the big questions,
so we start with "who?"
520
00:30:51.516 --> 00:30:52.600
Uh-huh.
521
00:30:52.600 --> 00:30:53.977
And we eventually get to "why."
522
00:30:53.977 --> 00:30:57.063
- So, we'll hear "why-why" later?
- Yeah.
523
00:30:57.063 --> 00:30:59.899
- And "when" is coming.
524
00:30:59.899 --> 00:31:02.527
- That's a full night, isn't it, folks?
525
00:31:05.238 --> 00:31:10.326
Going back to the "why" of U2,
you gotta stay with the "why."
526
00:31:11.369 --> 00:31:14.122
And I think the band
are on the same page in this one.
527
00:31:15.331 --> 00:31:19.335
Yeah, they wanted to entertain,
but they didn't want to just entertain.
528
00:31:19.961 --> 00:31:21.546
They wanted to do something great.
529
00:31:22.171 --> 00:31:26.551
Something that spiritually
affected people.
530
00:31:27.635 --> 00:31:29.429
And that's the "why."
531
00:31:46.404 --> 00:31:48.990
We grew up as a band on a live stage.
532
00:31:48.990 --> 00:31:51.784
That's-- That's how we learned
to do what we do.
533
00:31:51.784 --> 00:31:55.872
And "Where the Streets Have No Name,"
when I wrote the music,
534
00:31:55.872 --> 00:32:01.377
I set myself the specific,
sort of, thought exercise of,
535
00:32:01.377 --> 00:32:04.714
-"What would I want to listen to"...
- Mm-hmm.
536
00:32:04.714 --> 00:32:06.549
..."if I was in the audience?"
537
00:32:07.258 --> 00:32:08.968
What would blow me away?
538
00:32:08.968 --> 00:32:10.136
Uh, please do it again
539
00:32:10.136 --> 00:32:13.681
because this is an experience
I'll never get again in my life, so--
540
00:32:34.327 --> 00:32:38.873
"Where the Streets Have No Name"
is an unusual brew of a song.
541
00:32:38.873 --> 00:32:42.919
The lyric is not very fleshed out.
542
00:32:42.919 --> 00:32:47.173
But the suggestion
contained in the lyric is gigantic.
543
00:32:48.424 --> 00:32:51.594
And what it seems to suggest is,
544
00:32:51.594 --> 00:32:55.848
there's a transcendent place
we can go to together.

561
00:34:10.173 --> 00:34:15.053
to Super Bowl XXXVI, six months
after the September 11th attack.
562
00:34:15.053 --> 00:34:21.976
I recall grappling with
the concept of America,
563
00:34:22.560 --> 00:34:25.396
and what it meant to me
and what it might mean around the world.
564
00:34:25.396 --> 00:34:27.940

doesn't hit you over the head.

It's-- You do-- You feel it, um,
strongly coming through you.
581
00:35:41.430 --> 00:35:44.934
You know, and Brian Eno, who said to us,
582
00:35:46.018 --> 00:35:51.190
"You know, you should not be concerned
with things like being cool.
583
00:35:51.190 --> 00:35:52.942
That would be uncool for you.

- Just be yourselves."
- Right.

ecstatic music.

And then it changed,
and it changed quickly.
650
00:40:06.987 --> 00:40:08.781
How did it happen here?
651
00:40:08.781 --> 00:40:11.033
The world into which U2 are coming,
652
00:40:11.033 --> 00:40:14.829
is a society
which has been kind of liberalizing,
653
00:40:14.829 --> 00:40:16.872
but is now going back. [laughs] You know?
654
00:40:16.872 --> 00:40:20.334
It's-- It's getting cold feet about,
"Do we really wanna change?
655
00:40:20.334 --> 00:40:22.461
Do we really wanna become more modern?"
656
00:40:27.383 --> 00:40:29.927
And this band comes
into the middle of that.
657
00:40:29.927 --> 00:40:32.888
And I think they formed a, kind of,
critical bridge...

to being the place it is now,

- Dave, Dave.
- Oh!
663
00:40:53.242 --> 00:40:55.453

a lot of money in this culture.

- Yes. Mm-hmm.
666
00:41:01.834 --> 00:41:03.669
You need to get out more, Dave.
667
00:41:03.669 --> 00:41:06.130
That's true in almost
every aspect of my life.
668
00:41:07.173 --> 00:41:09.008
Like many things in my life,
669
00:41:09.008 --> 00:41:11.927
I'm operating on a--
from a position of ignorance.
670
00:41:11.927 --> 00:41:13.262
I'm an open book, Dave.
671
00:41:13.262 --> 00:41:15.222
- You can ask whatever you want.
- Okay. All right.
672
00:41:15.222 --> 00:41:17.475
- I'm unshockable.
- Yeah, that's good.
673
00:41:17.475 --> 00:41:23.647
Is it safe to say that Ireland was among
the most repressive toward homosexuality,
674
00:41:23.647 --> 00:41:26.484
and has now become
almost the diametric opposite?
675
00:41:26.484 --> 00:41:27.568
Yes.
676
00:41:29.820 --> 00:41:33.908
I grew up in a country that would
absolutely repress any hint of sexuality.
677
00:41:34.575 --> 00:41:40.372
Dublin, all through the '80s,
was this gray, aggressively normal,
678
00:41:40.372 --> 00:41:42.416
if you know what I mean, kind of place.
679
00:41:42.416 --> 00:41:45.711
Homosexuality wasn't even heard of.
680
00:41:45.711 --> 00:41:48.797
You know, when I was
a high school student in the '80s,
681
00:41:48.797 --> 00:41:51.509
U2's albums were-- They exposed you.
682
00:41:51.509 --> 00:41:53.385
Did you respond to those as a kid?

00:41:53.385 --> 00:41:54.595
See, I didn't.
684
00:41:55.346 --> 00:42:00.100
I unfairly maligned U2,
because to me, at that time,
685
00:42:00.100 --> 00:42:06.398
they were part and parcel of this culture,
this sort of straight-boy rock culture
686
00:42:06.398 --> 00:42:09.360
that I felt absolutely rejected by.
687
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:10.486
So I left.
688
00:42:10.486 --> 00:42:14.740
I went to Japan, um,
to-- to live and work and do this.
689
00:42:16.075 --> 00:42:19.912
And while I was living there,
U2 came and performed.
690
00:42:19.912 --> 00:42:22.540
And I started to see,
691
00:42:22.540 --> 00:42:27.044
oh, actually this U2 is not the U2
that I, you know, unfairly maligned.
692
00:42:28.003 --> 00:42:32.132

But this country changed dramatically.
720

U2 was a part of what allowed Ireland
to stand on its own two feet.

So actually, we have our own thing.

Ireland is about a hundred years old,

00:49:30.008 --> 00:49:31.635
Which is more unlikely:
811
00:49:31.635 --> 00:49:36.473
That Ireland is a hundred and better than
ever, and the band, uh, 50 years in?
812
00:49:36.473 --> 00:49:38.058
To that question, I would say,
813
00:49:38.058 --> 00:49:43.522
it's probably the fact that we're a band
for this long is a more remarkable thing.
814
00:49:43.522 --> 00:49:45.941
We kind of grew up working together
815
00:49:45.941 --> 00:49:52.698
and learned how to be, you know,
people of the world because of our band.
816
00:49:52.698 --> 00:49:54.282
So we're probably, to some extent,
817
00:49:54.282 --> 00:49:58.328
oh, a little institutionalized
by being in U2 this long.
818
00:50:02.624 --> 00:50:06.044

820
00:50:08.296 --> 00:50:10.132
There's many times in the past, I think,
821
00:50:10.132 --> 00:50:14.594

it's deeply part of who we are.

827

829
00:50:41.663 --> 00:50:44.291
you don't wanna be in a photograph
with some people
830
00:50:44.291 --> 00:50:49.880
that might be polar opposite
to the values that you hold dear.
831
00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:51.381

whatever you do, don't bring Jesse Helms,

the National Endowment for the Arts,

00:51:19.576 --> 00:51:22.496

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
839
00:51:24.414 --> 00:51:27.000
- It was very hard for us.
- Yeah.
840

created by that.

843
00:51:36.176 --> 00:51:40.055
Yeah, it-- it's an awkward one.
It's an awkward one.
844
00:51:42.265 --> 00:51:45.644
You know,
I'm turning what we create as a band
845
00:51:45.644 --> 00:51:50.065
into currency that I choose to spend
in these areas.
846
00:51:52.567 --> 00:51:56.113
And they, by and large, support me.
847
00:51:56.113 --> 00:51:59.449
But I do know I test their patience.
848
00:52:01.409 --> 00:52:04.913
And do you feel that this relationship is
getting stronger as you guys get older?
849
00:52:05.539 --> 00:52:10.210
Yeah. I-- I think we acknowledge
each other's, um, idiosyncrasies,
850
00:52:10.210 --> 00:52:12.712
and they're not-- it's not threatening.
851
00:52:12.712 --> 00:52:15.257

I suppose, we show respect to each other.
853
00:52:20.011 --> 00:52:21.179
Yeah, yeah.
854
00:52:23.431 --> 00:52:26.434
We have an unusual relationship.
855
00:52:28.145 --> 00:52:33.400
As I often explain to the audience,
Edge is from the future.
856
00:52:34.317 --> 00:52:37.237
And as I often ask him, "How is it?"
857
00:52:37.237 --> 00:52:39.948
Which he will always reply, "Better."
858
00:52:42.534 --> 00:52:44.619
-Hi, guys.
- This is digital.
859
00:52:44.619 --> 00:52:46.705
It's not actually me. It's not video.
860
00:52:46.705 --> 00:52:48.415
- Now I'm confused. That's not you.
- No.
861
00:52:48.415 --> 00:52:50.167
- That's not a human being?
- No.
862
00:52:50.167 --> 00:52:52.752
It's a rendering of me as an avatar.
863
00:52:52.752 --> 00:52:55.881
...virtual version of me.
A replica. Imagine if we could take...
864
00:52:55.881 --> 00:52:57.132
- I just--
865
00:52:57.132 --> 00:53:00.510
Just promise me
you'll always use this for good, not evil.
866
00:53:08.185 --> 00:53:09.978
The thing I don't like--
867
00:53:10.812 --> 00:53:14.149
- The thing I don't like about you...
868
00:53:14.149 --> 00:53:18.820
The thing I don't like about Edge
is that he-- he-- he doesn't need me.
869
00:53:18.820 --> 00:53:21.990
I mean, he could be doing all of this,
870
00:53:22.741 --> 00:53:26.411
writing, singing, performing,
playing, producing, on his own.
871
00:53:27.913 --> 00:53:29.581
- But he doesn't.
- Mm-hmm.
872
00:53:30.165 --> 00:53:32.042
- Ha ha.

Wow. This-- You feel like
you're in Ireland here, eh?
907
00:56:07.238 --> 00:56:09.449
What is this called?
This is the Forty Foot?
908
00:56:09.449 --> 00:56:11.034
- Yeah.
- The Forty Foot.
909
00:56:11.034 --> 00:56:13.995
Tell us what--
Why are you here? And-- And then, why?
910
00:56:13.995 --> 00:56:15.538
I'm here to swim.
911
00:56:15.538 --> 00:56:17.499 line:5%
- But did you lose a bet?
- No.
912
00:56:17.499 --> 00:56:19.709 line:5%
Well, explain the routine.
913
00:56:19.709 --> 00:56:22.253
Every morning, there's a crowd
of swimmers and we all meet up.
914
00:56:22.253 --> 00:56:24.005
- Every season?
- Every season.
915
00:56:24.005 --> 00:56:26.132
- Summer, spring, winter, fall?
- Yeah.
916
00:56:26.132 --> 00:56:28.843
- Hello, how is everyone?
917
00:56:28.843 --> 00:56:29.928
Just grand.
918
00:56:29.928 --> 00:56:34.307
- There's a man in a Santa hat.
- He swims here every day.
919
00:56:34.307 --> 00:56:37.018
- We're gonna say that that's me.
- Okay.
920
00:56:37.018 --> 00:56:39.354
- There I am. There's Dave.
921
00:56:39.354 --> 00:56:41.898
So you want me to swim
with Dave and pretend that's you?
922
00:56:41.898 --> 00:56:44.609
Yes, please do.
Yes, 'cause I'm freezing now.
923
00:56:46.986 --> 00:56:49.280
No, no.
I can make that sound without getting in.
924
00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:51.032
Ooh, is that kelp?
925
00:56:51.741 --> 00:56:53.993
Oh, my God!
926
00:56:57.497 --> 00:57:02.836
This is like there's been some shipwreck,
but yet, we've found the survivors.
927
00:57:04.212 --> 00:57:06.881
- How was that?
- It was actually very nice.
928
00:57:06.881 --> 00:57:09.134
- You enjoyed it?
- Feels brilliant. Actually brilliant.
929
00:57:09.134 --> 00:57:11.094
- You're happy to be alive?
- Yeah. It's amazing.
930
00:57:11.094 --> 00:57:13.513
You go into the sea one person
and you come out another.
931
00:57:13.513 --> 00:57:16.182
- That's lovely to hear.
- It's a great change. Try it.
932
00:57:16.182 --> 00:57:19.436
Yeah, wait till I get back to the hotel
and try it in the pool.
933
00:57:19.436 --> 00:57:20.603
Yes.
934
00:57:20.603 --> 00:57:23.273
Traditionally, this was only for men.
935
00:57:23.273 --> 00:57:25.525 line:5%
- Until 1974...
- Yeah, yeah.
936
00:57:25.525 --> 00:57:26.734
...and then women were allowed.
937
00:57:26.734 --> 00:57:29.446
I was here
when the women rushed in,
938
00:57:29.446 --> 00:57:32.073
and hopped in there
and swam in there naked.
939
00:57:32.866 --> 00:57:34.993
There's a lovely atmosphere down here.
940
00:57:34.993 --> 00:57:37.579
You never come out of a swim
without a smile on your face.
941
00:57:37.579 --> 00:57:40.081
- And if you've any worries--
942
00:57:40.081 --> 00:57:43.751
- If you've any worries, they're just gone.
- I understand the smile on your face.
943
00:57:43.751 --> 00:57:46.671
- Sort of frozen on one's face.
- Probably, yeah.
944
00:57:46.671 --> 00:57:48.715
Well, let's just see
what temperature this water is.
945
00:57:50.008 --> 00:57:52.969 line:5%
- I wouldn't get too close to that.
- No, this is as close as I'm gonna get.
946
00:57:54.304 --> 00:57:57.307
- I told you not to let me get too close.
947
00:57:58.391 --> 00:58:00.643
I have to leave now. Shoes are wet.
948
00:58:05.273 --> 00:58:08.359
Well, we just want to welcome
the Forty Foot man.
949
00:58:08.359 --> 00:58:10.195
- He's been out in the Forty Foot...
- Yes.
950
00:58:11.279 --> 00:58:15.658
- ...and getting splashed around in the bay.
- Thank you. I, um...
951
00:58:15.658 --> 00:58:18.995
It was on the news, I stripped naked
and got in for 45 minutes.
952
00:58:21.206 --> 00:58:24.292
You've seen more of Dublin in the last
three days, he has, than...
953
00:58:24.292 --> 00:58:26.544
- You know, I was--
- ...than we have in the last year.
954
00:58:26.544 --> 00:58:28.630
This also was a gift.
955
00:58:28.630 --> 00:58:31.925
Uh, we went somewhere and got on the DART,
956
00:58:31.925 --> 00:58:34.552
and, uh, spent two hours with Glen.
957
00:58:34.552 --> 00:58:36.054
Aha, well, there you go.
958
00:58:36.054 --> 00:58:39.766
That means you've-- Beard-off, beard-off.
Glen Hansard and you.
959
00:58:39.766 --> 00:58:41.768
He has a beautiful beard, but I--
960
00:58:41.768 --> 00:58:44.521
If you ever get a chance
to get right up close to him,
961
00:58:45.146 --> 00:58:48.024
you'll be hypnotized by his blue eyes.
962
00:58:48.024 --> 00:58:50.318
Oh, my goodness, ladies and gentlemen.
963
00:58:59.118 --> 00:59:01.621
There's a Moya Cannon poem
964
00:59:01.621 --> 00:59:05.833
that probably speaks a lot
to the idea of taking songs
965
00:59:05.833 --> 00:59:09.337
and what happens to songs
and where they go and where music goes.
966
00:59:09.963 --> 00:59:11.464
It's called "Carrying the Songs."
967
00:59:12.215 --> 00:59:14.342 line:5%
It was always those
with little else to carry
968
00:59:14.342 --> 00:59:16.177 line:5%
who carried the songs.
969
00:59:17.554 --> 00:59:20.515
- Deep rhythms-- Ah, [bleep].
970
00:59:20.515 --> 00:59:23.977
Every one of the poems I write,
ends in "Aw, [bleep]."
971
00:59:25.478 --> 00:59:27.480
- Okay, I think I have it.
- All right.
972
00:59:27.480 --> 00:59:28.565
Okay, one more time.
973
01:00:30.627 --> 01:00:32.920
So this idea that--
that songs are what we carry...
974
01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:35.006
- Yeah.
- ...even when we have nothing else.
975
01:00:36.591 --> 01:00:38.843
Those who are the victors
write the history.
976
01:00:38.843 --> 01:00:39.927
Yeah.
977
01:00:40.637 --> 01:00:42.513
And those who suffered wrote the songs.
978
01:00:43.640 --> 01:00:45.642
So we have a lot of songs in Ireland.

01:04:22.191 --> 01:04:24.193
- I'll wake up with an idea.
- Mm-hmm.
1021
01:04:24.193 --> 01:04:27.905
So I have to get out of bed,
find the phone, a guitar.
1022
01:04:27.905 --> 01:04:32.702
Looking at my phone this morning,
I have 6,000 voice notes.
1023
01:04:37.748 --> 01:04:43.087
See, to be able to do this, honestly,
it's like you guys are a magic act.
1024
01:04:43.087 --> 01:04:45.214
Well, we have some magic for you.
1025
01:04:45.214 --> 01:04:47.800
We were gonna write a tune for you
called "Forty Foot Man."
1026
01:04:47.800 --> 01:04:49.343
When did this happen? How long--
1027
01:04:49.343 --> 01:04:52.513
- This is just downstairs.
- This is, uh, 3:00 a.m. this morning.
1028
01:04:52.513 --> 01:04:53.931
- It started at 3:00 a.m.
- Really?
1029
01:04:53.931 --> 01:04:57.643
So this whole little thing that you're
doing for me now is fresh out of the oven?
1030
01:04:57.643 --> 01:04:58.728
Yeah.
1031
01:04:58.728 --> 01:05:01.063
- That's crazy.
- Try it again. Let me try it again.
1032
01:05:02.273 --> 01:05:04.692
- Do you wanna give it a go?
- Yeah. Okay.
1033
01:05:07.570 --> 01:05:10.531
- Tell me when to start.
- You've written lyrics and everything.
1034
01:05:10.531 --> 01:05:11.949
Oh, yeah.
1035
01:05:12.617 --> 01:05:15.369

- Okay.
- Oh, man.
1053
01:06:27.024 --> 01:06:31.153
The phrase in there that absolutely rings
true is, "Tries the best that he can."
1054
01:06:32.238 --> 01:06:36.283
And I have to tell myself that
every minute of every day.
1055
01:06:36.283 --> 01:06:39.078
Many nice things have happened for me
in my life.
1056
01:06:39.078 --> 01:06:41.789
This is-- would be
right at the top of that list.
1057
01:06:41.789 --> 01:06:47.503
I mean, this is like people could call
and order custom-made U2 songs.
1058
01:06:47.503 --> 01:06:49.255
Well, I don't know about that.
1059
01:06:49.255 --> 01:06:52.133
You see,
the thing is it's about inspiration.
1060
01:06:52.967 --> 01:06:55.803
- Oh, this is too much.
- You gave us the inspiration.
1061
01:06:55.803 --> 01:06:59.181
Well, when do we talk about,
uh, publishing?
1062
01:06:59.181 --> 01:07:01.767
- Publishing? [scoffs] Hey, back off.
- Yeah.
1063
01:07:01.767 --> 01:07:03.686

"The greatest songwriting
is never conclusive...
1065
01:07:17.116 --> 01:07:19.618
but the search for conclusion."
1066
01:07:21.037 --> 01:07:22.038

Yeah, that's right.
1079
01:08:31.732 --> 01:08:35.611
What a thrill to finish "Sunday
Bloody Sunday" all these years later.
1080
01:08:35.611 --> 01:08:39.782
To go back to Derry
and make it present tense.
1081
01:08:39.782 --> 01:08:43.410

Thank you.
1090
01:09:32.918 --> 01:09:36.964
So, all I want now is the answer to
the question, "How do you write a song?"
1091
01:09:36.964 --> 01:09:38.215
And I don't have that yet.
1092
01:09:38.215 --> 01:09:40.509
Not to get into the weeds too much,
1093
01:09:40.509 --> 01:09:43.387
but chords are the foundation
of all melody.
1094
01:09:43.387 --> 01:09:46.599
- So, actually, before we get to melody...
1095
01:09:46.599 --> 01:09:48.976
- ...we need to find the right chords.
1096
01:09:48.976 --> 01:09:50.895
I don't agree with Edge on that one.
1097
01:09:50.895 --> 01:09:55.274
I'm just saying, because think about
what you just did to "One."
1098
01:09:55.274 --> 01:09:56.817
You changed the chords.
1099
01:09:56.817 --> 01:09:58.694
Same melody. Same words.
1100
01:09:58.694 --> 01:10:00.237
- You just did it.
- Actually, I didn't.
1101
01:10:00.237 --> 01:10:02.823
We changed the key
but not the chords.
1102
01:10:02.823 --> 01:10:05.159
We did well. We nearly got to 50 years,
1103
01:10:05.159 --> 01:10:09.496
- and in Marsh's Library it all fell apart.
- It's coming apart.
1104
01:10:09.496 --> 01:10:12.583
Well, yes,
but the fact you're still doing it,
1105
01:10:12.583 --> 01:10:14.335
and you're not tired of doing it,
1106
01:10:14.335 --> 01:10:15.794
- and you're still--
1107
01:10:15.794 --> 01:10:20.132
You know, I've certainly thought about,
um, walking away from U2,
1108
01:10:20.132 --> 01:10:22.551
- and I know every member has.
- No. No.
1109
01:10:22.551 --> 01:10:23.844
- Yeah, we've--
- No, no.
1110
01:10:23.844 --> 01:10:26.096
No, we have all thought about it,
and it's really--
1111
01:10:26.096 --> 01:10:28.390
Thought about it,
but didn't get you out the door.
1112
01:10:28.390 --> 01:10:32.519
But it's really the right instinct
is to question
1113
01:10:32.519 --> 01:10:35.022
whether this should be a going concern
1114
01:10:35.022 --> 01:10:37.816
and what it demands
of all four members of U2.
1115
01:10:37.816 --> 01:10:39.068
Mm-hmm.
1116
01:10:39.068 --> 01:10:42.196
And the reason why I want to go forward is
1117
01:10:42.196 --> 01:10:46.492
because something is stirring
in my voice and in my singing.
1118
01:10:46.992 --> 01:10:50.663
And this desire to write the song
that we haven't got yet, you know?
1119
01:10:50.663 --> 01:10:54.750
We're sort of chasing the dragon
of the song we can't get.
1120
01:10:56.835 --> 01:10:59.088 line:5%
- Do you wanna hear another song?
- Yes.
1121
01:10:59.088 --> 01:11:03.133
Let's try "Breaking Wave,"
'cause we never quite nail the vocal here.
1122
01:11:03.133 --> 01:11:05.052
Let's do something completely different.
1123
01:11:06.887 --> 01:11:08.764

Uh, you know, the early songwriting
was just sketching really.
1141
01:12:41.774 --> 01:12:45.152
Sometimes, you know,
you've just started the song,
1142
01:12:45.861 --> 01:12:49.365
- and it might take 20 years to finish it.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
1143
01:12:50.491 --> 01:12:56.997
But then you realize this song
has been waiting for this moment.

01:12:56.997 --> 01:12:58.290

we've been protected, I think, from the
worst excesses of rock-and-roll stardom
