Greetings, dear friends, in a new Three Tune Tuesday, which is already in its 86th week, an initiative in which, Tuesday to Tuesday, we share an activity that was born thanks to our friend @ablaze, an activity in which which we share three good songs. And today I didn't bring you an acetate either, I'm stuck with an LP from which I'm trying to find one of the songs that I want to share with you, hopefully next week I'll bring it with me; so for today I will share another CD from my collection.

Today I brought a band that I think is loved by many. It is nothing more and nothing less than the Irish U2, one of the iconic groups of the 80's and 90's, which I am sure forms part of the musical memory of many of us. I doubt that there is anyone on the planet who has never heard a song by this magnificent band, or who has never heard of their vocalist Bono.

I met U2 in the mid 80's, but they interested me much more, when at the beginning of the 90's an acetate of them came to my apartment, which my boyfriend at the time brought. It was the album Achtung Baby, and I clearly remember when he took it out of its package and put it on and said, “Listen to this”, he proceeded to put the beautiful song “One”. There I fell smitten by the Irish boys, a crush that remains alive to this day.

Although I have another U2 album, today I brought the one I like the most, and it is this compilation of 18 singles that takes us through much of their musical history. This compact, like ten others, is part of a gift I received from someone I love very much; so there will be no Modern Archeology exercise today either, and we will be left with the doubt regarding its sale price. If we look at the back of the CD packaging, it is a disc that was produced in 2006. We will also see some data on its manufacturing and distribution license for some South American countries, such as Peru and Venezuela. And although on the cover we see the very young members of the group, perhaps in the early 80s, on the reverse we see them more adults (but equally handsome), and the list of 18 songs.




In addition to the songs from this production, which were wisely selected, I also really like the included songbook, because in addition to the lyrics, there are great photos of the band, which correspond to several of their stages. Here you can see some of them.





Ahora vamos con mis canciones / Now let's go with my songs
I start this trilogy with the third song of this album, with the beautiful Pride (In The Name Of Love), a melody from 1984, whose intro fills me with energy and makes me happy. The first chords of this song are really epic (well, the whole song), which even though it has marked protest overtones (it was a tribute to Martin Luther King), for me it transcends this and encourages me to live. I leave you a piece of his lyrics and the official remastered video, as well as another video of a 1987 presentation in Belfast. And if you want to read all the lyrics of this and the other two songs that I brought today, at the end I share a link where you can find them.

I continue today's trilogy, with the beautiful ballad Whith or Without you, which was part of the musical band of my longest spite. Really, human beings are masochists, and many times when we are in the middle of a love crisis we seek self-flagellation, listening to songs that remind us of being loved. That was my case. Thank God I have decades without knowing what spite is, and I hope that this harsh experience is not repeated. So, here I bring you this song that stirred my emotions at that time, but today it only stirs my memories, which I see from afar and calmly. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful song. I share part of the lyrics and the official video.

And I close the trilogy of this ttt with the song that made me fall in love with U2, and it is One, a melody from 1991, which is also a protest song (this time inspired by the reunification of the two Germanys after the fall of the Berlin Wall), but for me it represented love, the love of that time, because it was through him that I met this magnificent band. Here I leave the official video of the song and a little piece of the lyrics. I also give away an additional video of another beautiful song such as Stay (Faraway, So Close!). Enjoy them!

Este ha sido mi aporte para esta genial iniciativa del amigo @ablaze en su edición número 86, a manera de homenaje a una gran banda irlandesa, que hizo música de una belleza excepcional, como es “U2
