“I’m Learning To Lie. I’m Learning To Be Insincere.”

“I’m learning to lie. I’m learning to be insincere.”

Becoming the Fly

This video was inspired by Kelly Eddington's words in her article:

"In my mind, late 80s Bono was a mysterious figure. He was nowhere near as accessible as he is today, and he came across as intelligent and even brooding when discussing the band’s rise to fame. He didn’t seem to belong to that decade. His long hair wasn’t teased and sprayed (well, not anymore). He didn’t sing about rock ‘n’ roll debauchery. He possessed an above-it-all purity and even dressed like a Depression-era preacher. Then he and his band disappeared for a while.

They surfaced briefly in 1990 with “Night And Day,” a gorgeous Cole Porter cover I loved immediately. It left me wanting more and made me curious. U2 seemed to be on a new sonic path with Bono’s sensual/tortured performance and that doom and gloom synth. The shadowy video seemed to be a message transmitted from the center of the band’s own dark chrysalis. 

And one year later, a black butterfly emerged".

Erwin Smith, by me. Finished? In progress? Not sure. Currently working on adding more dimension to my drawings. Feels like this is a good start.

This amazing YouTuber posted a bunch of songs from Last Exit, a band Sting was in before he joined The Police. The quality isn’t perfect, but to paraphrase a commenter, it gives the recordings a sense of coziness and charm. Recommend checking it out for a) great musicianship b) overall peaceful jazzy vibes and c) hearing lyrics and melodies that Sting eventually reused in Police and solo songs :)

I cannot get over Only God Was Above Us. Album of the year easily. Phenomenal start to finish, all killer no filler, turned me into a VW fan.

“We’re all the sons and daughters of vampires who drank the old world’s necks.”

Wanted to attach a song but I can’t. It’s too hard to choose. Listen to all of them.

U2 are good regardless of what people say. If you look me in the eyes and say War is a bad album you either haven’t listened to it or are lying
