The two bands performed the song tonight pre-game on Monday Night Football to commemorate the reopening of the SuperDome in New Orleans. Proceeds will go to Music Rising, the hurricane charity initiative launched by U2’s The Edge and others. The Skid’s Stuart Adamson, who died in 2001, went on to become the leader of Big Country.

It was never my intent to publish lyrical wisdom from the same band (let alone the same album) on consecutive days but circumstancs prevail. Yesterday Bono was named Person of the Year by Time magazine for his humanitarian efforts to end poverty.

To my spark on our anniversary……
Like thunder needs rain
Like the preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a blind man’s cane
Like a needle in a vein
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
I need your love
Like a fighter’s rage
His dreams in a cage
Like faith needs a doubt
Like a freeway out
I need your love
Like powder needs a spark
Like lies need the dark
I need your love
Song: Hawkmoon 269
Artist: U2
Album: Rattle & Hum
Year: 1988
