Day 20: Favorite Love Song

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold

You say you want your story to remain untold.
All the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.

You say you’ll give me a highway with no-one on it
Treasure, just to look upon it
All the riches in the night.

You say you’ll give me eyes in the moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest.
All the promises we make, from the cradle to the grave
When all I need is you.

You say you want your love to work out right
To last with me through the night.

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold.
All the promises we break, from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.

Day 14: Favorite album by your favorite artist In my opinion, this is U2’s best album. I know everyone tends to give that accolade to Joshua Tree, but to me, Achtung Baby takes the proverbial cake. It’s probably because it came out at such a pivotal time in my life. … 1991. I graduated high school that same year and this album was a soundtrack to that last year in high school and the summer that followed.  I also love that it was such a personal album as opposed to their previous more political albums. Two of Bono’s daughters were born during the time they wrote this album as well as Edge’s separation from his wife. That combination made for highly reflective and emotionally charged lyrics. I can honestly say I love each song on this record and have never tired of it over the years.

Day 04 - Favorite song from your favorite artist

This category is sort of open to interpretation as far as “favorite artist” but I decided to go with one of my all time favs. I love U2 and if I had to choose just one of their songs … I couldn’t. I would choose two: One and Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. But since we are supposed to only choose 1 and because ONE gets all of the attention most of the time, I decided to go with the latter.

I love this song! Won’t you love it too?
