U2

U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono (vocals and rhythm guitar), the Edge (lead guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion). U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical concerns.

The band formed at Mount Temple Comprehensive School in 1976 when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. Within four years, they signed with Island Records and released their debut album Boy. By the mid-1980s, U2 had become a top international act. They were more successful as a touring act than they were at selling records until their 1987 album The Joshua Tree which, according to Rolling Stone, elevated the band's stature "from heroes to superstars". Reacting to musical stagnation and criticism of their earnest image and musical direction in the late 1980s, U2 reinvented themselves with their 1991 album, Achtung Baby, and the accompanying Zoo TV Tour; they integrated dance, industrial, and alternative rock influences into their sound, and embraced a more ironic and self-deprecating image. They embraced similar experimentation for the remainder of the 1990s with varying levels of success. U2 regained critical and commercial favour in the 2000s with the records All That You Can't Leave Behind (2000) and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2004), which established a more conventional, mainstream sound for the group. Their U2 360° Tour of 2009–2011 is the highest-attended and highest-grossing concert tour in history.

    A Room at the Heartbreak Hotel

    by: U2

    From where I stand
    I can see thrugh you
    From where you're sitting, pretty one
    I know it got to you
    I see the stars in your eyes
    You want the truth, but you need the lies
    Like Judy Garland, like Valentino
    You give your life for rock n' roll
    Uh huh
    Stand, we're on a landslide of love
    You got everything you want
    But what you need you give away
    For primitive love
    And a ride on the mistery train
    A primitive love
    A room at the Heart...
    The Heartbreak Hotel
    A room at the Heartbreak
    Heartbreak Hotel
    A room at the Heartbreak
    Heartbreak Hotel
    You say it's love, it's not the money
    You let them suck your life out like honey
    Turning tricks, you're on the street
    Selling your kisses so bittersweet
    A primitive love
    A and a ride on the mistery train
    A primitive love
    A room at the Heart
    The Heartbreak Hotel
    A room at the Heartbreak, the Heartbreak,
