My name is Francis Bede. i am a Fransiscan monk from Pittsburgh, PA. I will never forget when I hear
1. It's an epiphany. internet airline ticket specials On No Line on the Horizon, Bono stopped writing in the 'first person' and was singing from the perspective of different internet airline ticket specials characters. The hero of 'Moment' is an addict, who has a crisis of faith, and an epiphany.
'When I had one drink, I couldn't stop,' writes Frenchwoman2. 'So I quit drinking all together. At the one-year mark I got myself a commemorative bracelet that I had engraved with the Moment of Surrender lyric: 'Vision over Visibility'.'
The song's title itself is the term used in Alcoholics Anonymous for when an addict admits their helplessness. 'It's when you know that you can't control anything or anyone,' says Frenchwoman2, 'so you surrender that control. Sometimes you can't see where you're going; but remember the destination, and you'll get there with faith.' Amen.
2. It was the most magical studio experience ever. At least, it was for Brian Eno. Recording Moment of Surrender is when he and Daniel Lanois internet airline ticket specials thought the band were closest to realising internet airline ticket specials their original concept for the album - to write 'future hymns'. As Eno explained at the time to U2.com, 'It was 'the most magical experience I've ever had in a studio.'
3. It's a great idea for a tattoo. 'My husband has the 360-tour logo tattooed on his back, with the words 'Moment of Surrender',' writes ceesje. 'He's always thinking of his dead mother and father when Bono sings that song.' In the meantime, ceesje admits to having a Stuck in a Moment tattoo, herself. His and hers tattoos, U2 style...
4. The critics loved it. Rolling Stone magazine crowned 'Moment of Surrender' internet airline ticket specials the 'Best Song of 2009'. A year later, it made the magazine's '500 Greatest Songs of All Time': 'The most devastating U2 ballad since 'One' sets lush, gospel-tinged music - much of it improvised live in the studio - against dark subject matter: It's about a junkie riding the subway.'
5. You can fall in love to it. 'This track reminds me of a very, very special moment that took place during the 360 tour in Mexico City,' writes AleMorando. 'I went to that concert with my best friend Juan José... Bono started to sing 'Moment internet airline ticket specials of Surrender',' she continues, 'and in a magic moment, all of a sudden we held each other in a big hug, surrounded by the lights of the cellphones like a million stars.'
Life was passing by and I was going unnoticed by the one I loved. I was not noticing my life passing by. My moment of surrender brought me to my knees and gave me the courage to let go of someone I loved for over 15 years. Letting internet airline ticket specials go was hard but it turn out to be the healthiest thing for me, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Moment of Surrender makes my heart beat fast but it's a reminder of what was and what is now. Bono has a particular way of singing these songs and they stick to me. U2's music is such a big part of my life, not a day goes by without my dose of U2!
I was there at Qwest field.....The whole thing was just amazing. i only pulled out my phone a few times to get a few pictures. But when Moment started to play...I recorded the whole song. Then a month later I was in Chicago. I didn't record it....I stood there as it ripped my heart out and made me feel my soul....I love this band and everything they do.
June 4,2011. I have been waiting for this day for over two years. As we finally internet airline ticket specials enter Qwest Field Stadium. I'm freaking out. Though i have only been listening to U2 for 2 and a half years, I've listened to it all. Lenny Kravitz plays and i half a blast. then i hear space oddity start playing by David bowie as it always does before they take the stage. internet airline ticket specials I look up at the screen on the claw and the people i have been worshipping for almost three years are on the screen walking toward the stage. I bawled. my idol is walking towards the stage where he will sing songs that describe every moment in my life I've fallen every moment where i felt pain and sadness, every moment i have felt happiness or despair. I didn't move the whole concert other then to find Bono. Moment of surrender was the last song U2 played internet airline ticket specials in Seattle. it had always been a song that stuck with i have never had strong faith and moment of surrender was how I'd felt on some of my darkest days," I did not notice the passersby and they did not notice me." I felt like i was just passing through life. U2 has helped me find faith and happiness in my everyday life by songs just like the Moment of surrender.
happy birthday larry i hope have a beautifull internet airline ticket specials day...you are the man and boy of u2 band..we love so much and never give up the u2 fans need you u2..love u2 from portugal 51 years larry born on 30 october 1961
I brought the CD and I let it play on my Friend's CD Player while driving off to town. I can see how emotional and tears coming out to his EYES while playing Moment of Surrender, I didn't ask why then after Unknown Caller. he said that was the amazing song he ever heard and it shots down to his deepest emotion!
I once read or heard Brian Eno state that in many of the songs on the Unforgettable Fire, the lyrics were not nearly as important as was the manner/nature in which Bono was signing them and pouring his soul into the melody.
internet airline ticket specials With this song, i feel that if you avoid the lyrics alltogether internet airline ticket specials mentally and focus only on how he is singing melodically, that you should feel moved beyond responce. The really cool thing is that if you so the polar opposite and focus only on the lyrics (or even read them) you can have the same epiphany.
Now put both together (the nature of how he is singing and the lyrics) and you a most profound image of self discovery, purpose, mission in life, and freedom from bondage. This is what makes this song stand out over so many others.
The first time I've heard the song was after purchasing NLOTH in Dublin. I'm from Canada and was on a trip to Ireland and was happy that the album was on sale there before everywhere else in the world. So, I happily got the album and put the disk in the rental car player. There was nothing like the feeling of being there and listening to U2's new album. I've been a longtime U2 fan and as much as I've loved them a lot during these 25+ years, I almost never like a new album when I play it for the first time, it has to grown on you. Well, I have to say the 1st time Moment of Surrender played, that day, in that car, I felt something special. We were in Ireland for 8 days and the album, internet airline ticket specials and mostly that song, played non-stop...my poor 3 kids sitting at the back couldn't take it anymore! There was a feeling I cannot describe of driving in Connemara, with snow and listening to that song. The next time I felt something special about Moment of Surrender was the 1st Montreal show; after a very hot and humid day, as Bono was singing the last few words of the song, we had the coldest pouring rain I've never seen. The flood! A U2 show is a spiritual experience and this added to it. Lastly...Moncton show...last show of 360...well, I'm from Montreal so I didn't internet airline ticket specials feel the Moncton crowd was as good and passionate as the Montreal crowd but I'll certainly remember and appreciate the last time Bono's sang it live.
My name is Francis Bede. i am a Fransiscan monk from Pittsburgh, PA. I will never forget when I heard this song for the first time. It saved my life. It broke every bond of addiction that I had. I felt chains broke the moment I heard those lyrics. What heavy yokes that were broke unsunder. I was like Brennan Manning. A monk that was so lost. I would say that no line on the horizon saved my faith and my life. I had just lost my teacher who had taught me my entire life and when he passed, I felt so exposed to darkness and this cold world. I prayed the instrument of peace prayer internet airline ticket specials with every atom of my being. I had listened to U2 for 22 years by the time this album came out. Every U2 album had carried me through, but I thought nothing could save me at this point. I had rented a little shanty in the woods and was just going to be a hermit of prayer the rest of my life. I waited for this album and my brother and I went to the record store and he gave me a ten and said this is on me, you have been waiting for this for a long time. I bought it and drove home, just listened to horizon internet airline ticket specials on the trip into the mountains and couldnt believe when i heard that chorus no line, wow....then i got home, got my discman and went into my bathroom and looked internet airline ticket specials into the mirror so i can see my face react...magnificent played and I cried so hard...how can these four brilliant lights from dublin create everything I was feeling internet airline ticket specials at the moment internet airline ticket specials and lift me up and mark me and perfect me in a love that I cannot even fathom...I was crying...i was so ignited...i listened to magnificent for like two hours...crying...then I thought I better hear the next track, if im gonna get through this album...i heard this haunting organ...i fell to my knees when that drum and base line came in....and when bonos vocals came in and i will never forget when i heard that voice...that pain...that moment...i fell to my knees...i tied myself with wire...to let the horses run free....playing with the fire....i played that opening moment over and over again...my darkest of nights got light and this Fransiscan monk was ignited with faith once again...the stone was semi precious...we were barely....i just held my fransiscan ring...the vows...the only thing I had left in the world to hold onto....i cant even describe the tears of joy and cleasning and freeedom and liberty i felt at that moment....two souls to smart to be...in the realm of certainty....those lines shaped my wife and I together...we went to high school together but bumped into each other one night and we were both at a dark place with no hope and direction and just became two souls that became best friends..two different worlds...then I heard this line that saved my life...had I not heard this line...i dont want to know what my life would have become or where I would be now....its not if I believe in love but if love still believes in me...its the great
