"I think of City of Blinding Lights as the first song of innocence - with the exception of No Line on the Horizon that period continued for 20 years – Songs of Innocence, Songs of Experience, they’re all retrospective. It has stopped, you’ll be pleased to hear. You’ll never have to listen to me raging and whinging about my mother or father ever again. Tho’ I do have this opera coming out, haha!" - Bono on How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, 2024
