In the name of love...

Before you start speculating...NO...i m not in love..."In the name of love" is the name of the U2 song that I really really love...probably among their best 5 songs ever....was listening to it right now and thought i should post it...

The song is dedicated to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ( Bono, U2's lead singer, seems to be inspired by him in more than one ways). It has this catchy beat and ruthless energy that gets you on your toes in a minute. The guitar strumming is fabulous..and so is the voice...But it is the lyrics of the song that really hits me ( like most other U2 songs)..especially the last line when he says.. 'free at last..they took your life....but they could not take your pride'....this one line really tells us a lot about how life should be lived..and how no one take away the real essence of a man...the character...the values...the faith..the belief

the song also has a reference to Jesus..when he sings 'one man betrayed with a kiss'...

Here are the lyrics...

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow

In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more? In the name of love!

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!What more?
In the name of love!...
nobody like you...there's nobody like you...Mmm...mmm...mmm...

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love!....
