Where the Streets Have No Name - U2 (1987)* Video - The opening track to one of 21 albums I'd leave my kids, 1987's
Joshua Tree. The next 2 songs -
With or Without You and
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. It's also the intro song for my beloved Kansas Jayhawks. Having seen it performed live with 90,000 of my closest friends, I can attest to its power.
The meaning of the song can be traced to the streets of Belfast, based on the notion that you can identify a person's religion and income based upon what street they grew up.
"I wanna run, I want to hide. I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside. I want to reach out and touch the flame where the streets have no name."
