Bono reads an extract from his book - ‘SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story’ - in an animation which illustrates an extract from the chapter titled ‘Out of Control’, in which he tells the story of starting to write U2’s first single on 10th May 1978 – his 18th birthday, exactly 44 years ago today.

In ‘SURRENDER’ – out on 1st November – Bono writes about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with—from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was 14, to U2’s unlikely journey to become one of the world’s most influential rock bands, to his 20 years of activism dedicated to the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty.

The title ‘SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story’ refers to the book’s 40 chapters, which are each named after a U2 song. Bono has also created 40 original drawings for ‘SURRENDER’ which will appear throughout the book, and also feature in this animated video.

“Song For Someone” Lyrics:

You got a face not spoiled by beauty
I have some scars from where I’ve been
You’ve got eyes that can see right through me
You’re not afraid of anything they’ve seen
I was told that I would feel nothing the first time
I don’t know how these cuts heal
But in you I found a rhyme

If there is a light you can’t always see
And there is a world we can’t always be
If there is a dark that we shouldn’t doubt
And there is a light, don’t let it go out

And this is a song, song for someone
This is a song, song for someone

You let me in to a conversation
A conversation only we could make
You break and enter my imagination
Whatever’s in there it’s yours to take
I was told I’d feel nothing the first time
You were slow to heal but this could be the night

If there is a light you can’t always see
And there is a world we can’t always be
If there is a dark within and without
And there is a light, don’t let it go out

And this is a song, song for someone
This is a song, a song for someone

And I’m a long long way from your Hill of Calvary
And I’m a long way from where I was and where I need to be
If there is a light you can’t always see
And there is a world we can’t always be
If there is a kiss I stole from your mouth
And there is a light, don’t let it go out

30 January 2022 - With love, Bono & Edge

Fromm is a British 3D Studio by Vince Ibay and Jessica Miller. They specialize in creating eccentric and otherworldly art and design, taking inspiration from camp, kitsch and pop-culture. Their work ranges from Music Videos, Advertising, Social Media Content and Face Filters. Previously worked on projects for Spotify, The New York Times and Snapchat, and have also been featured by ItsNiceThat, Nowness and the British Fashion Council.

"We felt that our generation's addiction to digital screens would fit the themes and mood for the song. Inspired by The Lady of Shallott, we wanted to present a life lacking authenticity and the yearning for real-life experiences. With this video we have tried to reflect on the daily choice between the comfort of a digital sub-reality or facing the challenges of a flawed world."

"Our parents are huge fans of U2 and we find it amazing how a bands message can still be so relevant through different generations."

Lyrics:
Is part of the attraction that you want to be destroyed?
I’m the spirit on the water, you’re the formless void
When I heard your voice at first I was annoyed
You woke me
From the beginning of time you had so little grace
After a while not a freckle on your face
I was looking for a rhyme in time and space and you broke me
You were walking round naked with your pants not on
At the gates of Eden with no sins to pardon
It was Adam not Eve who threw God out of the garden you wrote me

Let’s not get too clever with this stuff
What are you ready to give up

To find love
To find love
To find love
To find love

When you’re climbing from the wreckage of a burned out star
Any old neon looks like the Carlton Bar
Asked where was I going I answered how far you wanna go

American male/ interior/ night, the cigarette smoker’s gonna find his light
If you repeat it often enough wrong looks right
But deep down you know
The smooth will make excuses for the rough
You know it shouldn’t be this tough

To find love
To find love
To find love
To find love

Tell the oceans, tell the sun
Tell the weatherman, tell everyone

All the money junkies are running out of veins
If you’re one of them yourself you’ve got no one else to blame
You don’t need anymore then you have except the shame of feeling torn
between the hungry and the greedy the honeyed and the needy
When you serve the poor, you free me
Slaves have grown accustomed to the weight of your chains
And your heads shorn
your eyes will find the silence inside the hurricane
you know you must do something other than complain
We’ll pray for mother earth, these are not more labour pains
Maybe you’re being born

Out of the ash, out of the dust
The clever learn, who not to trust
The genius of belief, is that we must, take a chance sometimes on us

To find love
To find love
To find love
To find love

To find love
To find love
To find love
To find love

For the Italians who inspired it... for the Irish...for ANYONE who this St. Patrick’s day is in a tight spot and still singing. For the doctors, nurses, carers on the front line, it's you we’re singing to.
Bono

Let Your Love Be Known

Yes there was silence
yes there was no people here
yes I walked through the streets of Dublin
and no-one was near
Yes I don’t know you
No I didn’t think I didn’t care
You live so very far away from me
just across the square
And I can’t reach but I can ring
You can’t touch but you can you can
sing
Across rooftops
Sing to me down the phone
Sing and promise me you won’t stop
Sing and tho your heart be overthrown
let your love be known.

Yes there is isolation
heh you and me we’re still here
Yes when we open our eyes we will stare down the fear
And maybe I’ve said the wrong thing
But Yes I made you smile
I guess the longest distance is always the last mile.
And I can’t reach but I can ring
You can’t touch
but you can , you can
sing
Across rooftops
Sing to me down the phone
Sing and promise me you won’t stop
Sing and you are never alone.
Sing as an act of resistance
Sing tho your heart is overthrown
When you sing there is no distance
So let your love be known, oh let your love be known
Though your heart is overthrown.
Let your love be known.
