· The letter describes the horror felt by an observer of «The Problems» in Northern Ireland.]]> 2018-03-05 18:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mperezlobo/sb21s2dcpi9m/wish/238254179 U2 mperezlobo https://padlet.com/mperezlobo/sb21s2dcpi9m/wish/238267960 U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, formed in 1976.

At the beginning, it was considered as a post-punk band but its style has evolved during its career although it maintains a characteristic sound produced by the expressive voice of Bono and the way in which Edge played his guitar.

Also, the lyrics reject hate and revenge as a response: "There's many lost, but tell me who has won"; " How long must we sing this song? "]]> 2018-03-05 18:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mperezlobo/sb21s2dcpi9m/wish/238277239 Lyrics mperezlobo https://padlet.com/mperezlobo/sb21s2dcpi9m/wish/238298760 I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long, How long must we sing this song
How long, how long

'Cause tonight, we can be as one 
Tonight

Broken bottles under children's feet,
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
(All right, let's go!)

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

How long, How long must we sing this song
How long, how long

'Cause tonight, we can be as one
Tonight, tonight
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
(here I come!)

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

There were some who saw the song as a glorification of the Troubles and a call for revolution. 

But it isn't the real meaning of the song:  Bono introduced the song by saying, “This song is not a rebel song. This song is Sunday Bloody Sunday.” This statement, with the white flags that waved behind the band on stage, bring an intention for a peaceful solution. ]]> 2018-03-05 19:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mperezlobo/sb21s2dcpi9m/wish/238316097 Impact on me mperezlobo https://padlet.com/mperezlobo/sb21s2dcpi9m/wish/238318406 The first time that I listened to this song, I was on a travel to Barcelona with my parents to see a U2 concert. 
I felt in love with it. I think the rythm was so different to other songs and very powerful! 
Obiously, I didn't know the meaning of the song but later, my mother explains me what really was the "Bloody Sunday". Since that moment, I have liked this song even more. ]]> 2018-03-05 19:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mperezlobo/sb21s2dcpi9m/wish/238318406
