I Threw a Brick Through a WindowU2

Released: October 12, 1981

Songwriter: The Edge (Guitarist) Bono

Producer: Steve Lillywhite

I was talking, I was talking to myself
Somebody else talk, talk, talking
I couldn't hear a word, a word he said

He was my brother
I said there was no other way out of here
Be my brother
(Brother)
Got to get out, got to get out

I was walking, I was walking into walls
And back again
I just keep walking
I walk up to a window to see myself
And my reflection, when I thought about it
My direction, going nowhere, going nowhere

No-one, no-one is blinder
Than he who will not see
No-one, no-one is blinder
Than me

I was talking, I was talking in my sleep
I can't stop talk, talk, talking
I'm talking to you, it's up to you
Be my brother, there is no other way out of here
Be my brother
Got to get out, got to get out
Got to get out of here

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
