The correspondence between Nelson Mandela and Winnie (his then wife) worked so well within confinement but when he was released, the real world took its toll and made it go away. So it was about the lack of anything permanent, really. It’s disheartening, but it's also heartening to a degree, where it inspires you to hurry up a little bit.<br />Mac: The idea of the writing fading is that when things go away, it’s often not a clean break. They fade away in different forms and different manners, different ways. It’s not a clean process. You don't know how its exactly happening but you can see that it is. I think Oliver and I both responded to the song in that it didn't look to sugarcoat a real moment for a very epic man. The opportunity to portray that human element of someone so grand is pretty humbling. We wanted to do the best work to represent that.<br />http://www.u2.com/news/title/in-cameradavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135992921485306480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375166.post-55280107508285245062013-11-25T10:14:49.171-05:002013-11-25T10:14:49.171-05:00Maybe so Megan!Maybe so Megan!U2 Sermonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07175811025898393942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375166.post-89136647362452143752013-11-24T22:02:37.006-05:002013-11-24T22:02:37.006-05:00Actually, doesn't the lyric say "all this...Actually, doesn't the lyric say "all this time I thought the world couldn't wash it away?" which could imply that the world actually has washed it away?<br />Megan C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18118691090126531293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375166.post-68847936405691848302013-11-21T18:08:59.098-05:002013-11-21T18:08:59.098-05:00"Window" is a good connection.

"Oh, cant you see what love has done? What it's doing to me?" For good or for bad, love is tough, transformational, and in the end cosmic/supernatural.Timhttp://www.timneufeld.blogs.comnoreply@blogger.com
