– Do you ever hear one by maybe one of those guys [Chris Martin and Bono] and you say, that should have been mine? – Oh, all the time. It's like- I remember when I first heard Yellow by Coldplay and I thought, oh, fuck, that's one of mine, and, uh, you know, like Every Breaking Wave on the new U2 record, you just think, wow, I could have had that one, you know, if i'd have been there that day.

“We’ve always been about community in U2, about family and friends,” he [Bono] says. “Songs Of Innocence is the most intimate album we’ve ever made. With this record, we were looking for the raw, naked and personal, to strip everything back. . . holding on to your own innocence is a lot harder than holding on to someone else’s.”
