Their what?
Originally posted by Release3:I see where he’s coming from. It’s like when you hear your voice on a home video or something and you kind of cringe. Or imagine the people on here who are in their 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s and looking back at poems or songs written when they were 16/17/18.
I don’t think he hates being in U2 or think their songs are bad, I think he’s just looking at things as an old man vs angsty teenager
I have a notebook of songs I’ve written all the way back to age 14 (currently 28) and boy if those were ever recorded or distributed I’d cringe too, even if other people liked it lol Almost like looking at Facebook statuses from 10-15 years ago. It might have a ton of “likes” and comments but sometimes you’re just thinking to yourself “this is cringey”
Originally posted by Release3:I honestly believe that Bono has developed anxiety over the last handful of years. He was once a confident and snarky showman until the end of IE in my opinion. To me, these sound bites and interviews and even the way he’s sang from 2016-today almost feels timid. Like he doesn’t want to be viewed poorly? Idk hard to explain, but I just feel like he’s dealing with something on the inside.
