'Sunday Bloody Sunday'
U2′s “Sunday Bloody Sunday” refers to the Jan. 30, 1972, massacre of Catholic civil rights demonstrators by British soldiers in Northern Ireland, but the song speaks volumes about conflicts in general. The anthem, from the 1983 album War, begins with a cry and the anguished lyrics, “I can’t believe the news today/ I can’t close my eyes and make it go away/ How long, how long must we sing this song?” The band from Dublin has been singing the song for decades. Unfortunately for us, the lyrics “There’s many lost, but tell me who has won?” are still as relevant as they ever were.
