Bono - 60 Songs That Saved My Life
Bono - 60 Songs That Saved My Life
At first i thought it was just a simple playlist chosen by him because his 60th birthday, but i realized it's a kind of "self-celebration" to the music that was part of his life

And not self-congratulatory either - the U2 feature on "XXX" is the only song here he worked on.

I thought I had deleted that post when I realized my mistake. Apparently not. There’s also his cover of I’ve Got You Under My Skin with Frank Sinatra.Rob wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 6:30 pmHow about the number 1?

Re: Bono - 60 Songs That Saved My Life
Bono chosing himself is so Bono.
Re: Bono - 60 Songs That Saved My Life
Is this unordered?
Re: Bono - 60 Songs That Saved My Life
He wrote the Sinead song as well. Wouldn't be surprised if he wrote some of the others.StevieFan13 wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 8:21 pmI thought I had deleted that post when I realized my mistake.

I remember thinking when I first heard The Maker that it sounds exactly like Bono.

Re: Bono - 60 Songs That Saved My Life
I don't know if I'd call it ego to say his own songs saved his life, though. If they were important experiences for him, and helped him through a rough patch, then good for him.andyd1010 wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 5:47 pmHe wrote the Sinead song as well.
