“This song, when we wrote it, I tried to write the lyrics from the point of view of the woman or the bride, in this case, which is pretty arrogant, I suppose. That was a trick for me to get to the lyric I was playing on myself,” Bono defined.
“So tonight I want to dedicate it to all the great women in our lives,” Bono continued. “Our partners, our mothers, our daughters, all the women on the U2 crew, all the great women in our audience that we feel we know, and all the great women in parts of the world going through very difficult circumstances that we could never know.”
“And one woman in particular who’s with us tonight,” the U2 frontman added. “She’s a teacher, she’s your First Lady. So this is for Jill Biden. It’s a wedding song.”
“What an incredible night at Sphere-So Grateful to Bono Edge and Adam and of course Bram for an amazing job-very emotional night for me personally”
