To me, it's very significant that the album starts with the inception of a pilgrimage (in "The Miracle") and ends with the only time when God is directly mentioned (in "The Troubles"). Sure, we have several indirect references beforehand (perhaps most notably in "Song for Someone"), but the only direct one comes at the end. <br /><br />I think this is very intentional on Bono's part, but not because religion is only seen as organized rather than personal on SOI. (After all, he could have included songs about the Shalom days on this album.) Here I find Bono's intentions for NLOTH important. That album, it seems to me, was partially a pastoral attempt to help people struggling with serious depression or who otherwise were "just barely holding on to life" (as Bono says in one of the released recordings of MOS live -- rough paraphrase) to come to see God in their situations. Bono said in at least one interview that each song on NLOTH revolved around an epiphany of God. At least some of the band members thought the album would be big. As we all know, it wasn't by U2 standards. As a result, Songs of Ascent got shelved.<br /><br />I'm guessing that Bono is still trying to get listeners to the same place as on NLOTH -- and beyond that -- but has decided to start over. So we now start on a pilgrimage instigated by a Joey Ramone song -- something that might be more relatable to a secular audience. At the end of the album, we're finally at the point of mentioning God by name. The forthcoming Songs of Experience is reportedly much more experimental musically, and it's typically on their more experimental albums that U2 deliver their more complicated faith statements. And Bono now says we might be getting Songs of Ascent to conclude the trilogy. If at first you don't succeed, try again by assuming less of your audience and taking the longer route to get to the same place. (I also find it interesting that just as Bono described NLOTH as being about "first loves," SOI is about first experiences, and is "sacramental" to boot.) <br /><br />I don't mean to paint the picture of Bono as a fervent evangelist. Rather, he's a different type of worship leader, getting masses of believers and non-believers to sing to God even if they don't know that's what they are doing. (Cue Beth's liturgy ideas here.)And he likes to give people puzzles to figure out; that's how he described "Discotheque" (as "a riddle about love")in a Washington Post interview back in May 1997. So the idea of stretching a voyage of discovery about God out over several albums is pretty par for the course for Bono, it seems to me.Chipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375166.post-89331323264172392852014-09-17T19:32:43.077-04:002014-09-17T19:32:43.077-04:00Thanks for reminding me to link to it, Dave!Thanks for reminding me to link to it, Dave!U2 Sermonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07175811025898393942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375166.post-1001327851178729252014-09-17T19:20:50.070-04:002014-09-17T19:20:50.070-04:00oops..forgot to make it clickable:http://www.newyo...oops..forgot to make it clickable:<a rel="nofollow">http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/church-u2</a>davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135992921485306480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375166.post-65376144005195917802014-09-17T19:19:09.727-04:002014-09-17T19:19:09.727-04:00Thanks for the tip on that article.
