It's quite bizarre that I've been a U2 fan since the day I was born, but I've just found this song on my listening session to the All that you can't leave behind box set and it skyrocketed into my top 10 favourite songs. Gosh, I can't even say how much U2 has helped me in hard moments in my life.
I just love U2 and never will stop loving.

One of the things I love the most about U2 is that they're still making music and putting out new albums. The way the music business is set up these days, it'd probably be easier and more lucrative for U2 to just tour and "play the hits," but they're still out there writing and recording new material, reinventing themselves periodically along the way, and showing us why they're the biggest band in the world...

Flashback to 2014,
I was 15, and only had one album on my phone because I didnβt yet have money to buy new music.
My iPhone data was long used up, and there was no WiFi at the school.
I was in Science listening to Kyrie by Mr. Mister for the 18th time in a row, when all of a sudden, a song I had never heard started playing and it scared the hell out of me.
It was Every Breaking Wave by U2.
I remember the shock stopping me from checking to see what the hell was happening.
From there, Volcano, Sleep like a Baby Tonight, and the rest of the album. It was one of the most beautiful pieces I had ever heard, so much so that it wasnβt until a year later I realized that the album downloaded itself for free while I was in bed the night before.
My mother is the kind of person to buy an entire album of a band, just to listen to the one song that was on the radio at the time,
Buying Torches by Foster the People just to play Pumped Up Kicks on repeat,
Night Visions by Imagine Dragons just for Radioactive, and so on.
And if they werenβt full album, her collection was Greatest hits compilations of the 80s.
Musically I grew up so safe and mainstream when it came to music, never wanting to go below the surface,
Until that day in science class with Ms. Altevia, skateboard under my desk, Mountain Dew in my hand, as Songs of Innocence played in its entirety, making me realize the true art of completion, and the thrill of exploration.
Every album my mom had, I would ask to put it in on car rides, and listen to every song but the popular one.
Every One Hit Wonder of the 80s, Iβd look up the band and listen to everything they ever did.
U2 was instrumental in my growth as a person, by showing me the road less traveled is a road of undiscovered treasures.
