Last time U2 was in town, I looked at a few of their songs on Sunday morning. The podcast can be found at http://www.thetapestry.ca/tappodcasts/bono_and_u2_sermon_vertigo_apr_24_2005
I haven't listened to their new album "No Line on the Horizon" too often, but will do so in prep for their concert in Vancouver on Oct 28th. I will also take a look at their new album @ the Tap on Sunday, Oct 25th.
And I need your help. So, if you've listened to their new stuff... what do you think? You like it? Any God illusions in the lyrics? Any scripture?

Magnificent!
So, I decided to use Magnificent as one of the songs I'm going to try to unpack this Sunday. Try to have a listen, but the lyrics are below. What is Bono singing about? or better yet, WHO is Bono singing about?
Magnificent
Oh, oh, magnificent
I was born, I was born
To be with you in this space and time
After that and ever after
I haven't had a clue only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue, oh, oh
Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar
I was born, I was born to sing for you
I didn't have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice from the womb
My first cry, it was a joyful noise, oh, oh
Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar
Justified, till we die you and I will magnify, oh, oh
Magnificent, magnificent, oh, oh
Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love unites our hearts
Justified, till we die you and I will magnify, oh, oh
Magnificent, magnificent, magnificent
