"October" by U2

Hello and Happy Poetry Friday! Be sure to visit the ever-delicious Jama at Jama's Alphabet Soup for Roundup!

Thinking of Tabatha's Music Monday's as I post this, my most favorite U2 song. I feel it in my soul, whatever the season, but especially during October. Enjoy!




October
by U2

October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care

October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on...and on.

  1. There's such an October motif this week among the Poetry Fridayers! How wonderful that they are all different, without any planning. Beautiful song and video, Irene. xo

  3. Beautiful, Irene. Thanks for sharing. It's interesting how we all have our favorite seasonal songs. For me, October's song is Van Morrison's "Moondance".

  4. I do love this song and was considering putting it in Autumn's Palette. Thanks for reminding me of the at, Irene. There is something so soulful about the changing leaves.

  5. I can't believe I"ve never heard this U2 song! In my Rockabet picture book U is for U2! Definitely a different (yet beautiful) song from them!

  6. Thanks for sharing & reminding that some--not all songs--are truly wonderful poems, filled with evocative figurative language. I admit it wouldn't have been thinking U2 in that way. It's always good to revise one's thinking. God bless you! Thanks!

  8. This is one of my favorite U2 songs. It's quiet and so beautiful -- perfect for the moody teen I used to be :-)
