「上帝」這首歌是約瀚．藍濃在1970年，
The Beatles解散後，自己的重生宣言。
某種苦澀、
某種幻滅、
某種體會現實、
某種無可奈何，
但最終
卻也是積極地樂觀面對未來。
以下是這首歌的歌詞：
God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain
I’ll say it again
God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain
（上帝是一個概念，用來衡量我們的痛苦）
I don’t believe in magic
I-Ching（易經）
Bible
Tarot（塔羅牌）
Hitler
Jesus
Kennedy
Buddha
Mantra
Gita
Yoga
Kings
Elvis
Zimmerman
Beatles
I just believe in me
Yoko and me
And that’s reality
The dream is over
What can I say?
The dream is over
Yesterday
I was the dream-weaver
But now I’m reborn
（我曾經是織夢的人，但現在我已重生）
I was the walrus
（海象，會吃掉所有牡蠣，意指大資本家）
But now I’m John
And so dear friends
You just have to carry on
The dream is over
（所以親愛的朋友
你得靠自己過下去
夢想已經結束。）
2009/9/24------當「愛」來到這個城市．．．
U2著名的兩位成員Bono、The Edge與B. B. King
法國知名作家雨果曾說：
一個民族的偉大與否，不是由其人口數目決定；
就像一個人的偉大與否，
也絕對不是由其身高來決定。
愛爾蘭這個人口剛過4百萬的國家，
其產生的U2樂團，
可以在1980年代寫下Silver And Gold
表明強烈反對當時南非的種族隔離政策；
也寫下In The Name Of Love ( Pride)
表達他們對馬丁路德金恩的懷念。
更重要的是，
U2不僅席捲全世界，同時也普獲愛爾蘭國民的熱愛。
對比之下，4百多萬很有「尊嚴」的愛爾蘭人身影更顯巨大。
When Love Comes To Town這首歌曲是1987年U2巡迴美國演出時，與美國藍調樂手B. B. King合作的歌曲。
以下是這首歌曲的歌詞：
I was a sailor, I was lost at sea Love is real, real is love,
I was under the waves
Before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused of the things I've said
Love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
I used to make love under a red sunset
I was making promises I was soon to forget
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
But I left her standing before love came to town
I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
之前曾播放J. Lenon的歌曲Love，
其歌詞如下：
Love is feeling, feeling love,
Love is wanting to be loved.
Love is touch, touch is love,
Love is reaching, reaching love,
Love is asking to be loved.
Love is you,
You and me,
Love is knowing,
We can be.
Love is free, free is love,
Love is living, living love,
Love is needing to be loved.
