October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care?October
And Kingdoms rise
And Kingdoms fall
But you go on……and on…

i still listen to this every oct 1 (or within a few day at least when i remember). i recall buying “the unforgettable fire” on cassette the day it came out oh so long ago.
i think you still owe the world a long overdue post on “wolves, lower”, no?

Mom – Yes, that’s him!

Hey I just listened to that album a couple of days ago! Well, not on a record player as I did when it came out. I still love “vintage” U2.

Yay! I remember what a massive U2 fan you were back in the day.

A very most excellent album. I miss U2 of the 80s/early 90s.
