Songs Of Innocence The first studio album from the band since 2009, Songs Of Innocence was released on CD & Vinyl on October 13th 2014, just over a month after the groundbreaking digital release when Apple delivered the album free to more than half a billion people with iTunes accounts. The striking cover art of the physical releases, a photo by Glen Luchford, features Larry Mullen Jr protecting his 18 year old son. The image resonated with the band's iconic 1980 debut album Boy and, three years later, the War album. Both featured the face of a child, Peter Rowen, the younger brother of Guggi, Bono's childhood friend growing up on Cedarwood Road. 'We've always been about community in U2, about family and friends,' explained Bono. 'Songs Of Innocence is the most intimate album we've ever made.
And, on top of all this, it includes a $50 off coupon when buying The Complete U2 digital box set. The iPod U2 Special Edition is available at the online Apple Store. The iPod U2 Special Edition is available at the online Apple Store. “The Complete U2” was a first for the world of digital music. U2 released a full “box set” of all of their releases through iTunes on November 23, 2004. The initial offering was 446 tracks, separated into 67 different “groupings” – i.e. Album and singles.
With this record we were looking for the raw, naked and personal, to strip everything back.' The idea of the unique relationship between a parent and child, the image of a father and son, came from the band. The shoot with Larry and his son was initially an experiment but everyone loved it as a visual metaphor for the record. If you know the album, added Bono, you'll see the themes in the visual language, how 'holding on to your own innocence is a lot harder than holding on to someone else's.' The eleven tracks on Songs Of Innocence, a kind of musical autobiography, chart U2's earliest influences from 70s rock and punk to early 80s electronica and soul.
And reveal how music changed everything. As Bono sings in the lead song, 'The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)', 'I woke up when the miracle occurred/ Heard a song that made some sense out of the world.' Exploring themes of home and family, relationships and discovery, detailed liner notes fill out the picture with resonant stories, like one of the first gigs the teenage band got into. 'The 4 members of U2 went to see the Ramones playing in the state cinema in Dublin without thinking about how we were going to get in. We had no tickets and no money.
My best friend Guggi had a ticket and he snuck us through a side exit he pried open. The world stopped long enough for us to get on it.
Even though we only saw half the show, it became one of the great nights of our life.' Songs of Innocence is released in three physical formats and digital.

This is where you can reach me now! Love the whole album, but the song that caught my eye on first listen was This Is Where you Can Reach Me Now, and is still my favorite song on the album. I am just surprised not more people are ranting about it. Songs I like but have issues going holy crap that is amazing is Cedarwood Road, and California. I really like being more informed by the band like we have since NLOTH, but I wish Bono would not talk about release information until things are actually ready to be released, and stop feeding the media any excuse to talk about U2's viability.
Even if they are not viable to the masses, they will always be viable to loyal fans like myself. Great music with meaningful lyrics is what U2 offers that very little if none can today. Can I say I dislike the music industry, and blame them for the way we listen to music today, bring back the big bands, get rid of all the one hit wonders. Love you guys (U2) thank you for filling my life with your sound, and I hope there are many more albums to come! Hope Songs of Experience comes to past and compliments Songs of Innocence like Zooropa did Achtung. 'I have a head full of Traffic'.
