Hello, my band and I wrote a song (below) that we would really like U2 to hear. No expectations, we just thought they'd love and appreciate it the sound and message. Definitely the top influence of mine since I started playing music when I was 8 years old. Everyone else was learning metallica and I was playing Joshua tree songs on an old practice amp.
Has anyone had success sending electronic messages to the group? Thank you.

Sometimes
Music and Lyrics by Ward
C 2025 Elk Road
I could tell you were run down,
like a soldier in a storm,
it’s like you feel that you're lost
and no one's home
Sometimes
Look I know what you've been feeling,
Like there’s darkness at the door
See I know I don’t feel like there’s (a) light
through me anymore
Sometimes, sometimes , sometimes
Sometimes the world needs your emotion
Sometimes it needs all you can give
But outside the world is so full is motion
that all I want to do is hide
Sometimes
I'm ok for today,
it's tomorrow that worries me the most.
I don't feel quite ok,
but I know that's still better than most
Sometimes
Sometimes the world needs your emotion
Sometimes it needs all you can give
But outside the world is so full is motion
that all I want to do is hide
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes
I need you love, babe?
It’s not safe here
But I will not let you down?
Won’t let you down
My love my love
Won’t let you down my love
We don’t know the way
We will go away
Don't you know you never ever have to go away
We both know the way
Don't you go away
Away Away Away
No direct channel unless you send a copy to their management team. To be honest, a band of U2's stature would have got thousands of demos sent their way over the years. Unless you can hand a member of U2 a copy of the song, there's slim chance of it getting through.
I'm not meaning to be negative by the way, just realistic. You should promote your music to the public, and you never know that in time one of the band might hear it. (You never know, they might sometimes look on these forums 😉)

Fear of litigation is why many artists have this approach or wouldn't even accept a CD. You hear a melody once, but it gets stuck in your unconscious and a few years later you have a lawsuit on your hands if you inadvertently plagiarized it and someone can prove they handed you a copy.
