无可争议，80年代英国和爱尔兰最受瞩目的伟大乐队是U2，他们1977年在都柏林的一所学校里开始了音乐生涯。

中英双语歌词：

staring at the sun 遥望骄阳

Summer stretching on the grass... summer dresses pass

In the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me

Over me and over you stuck together with God's glue

It's going to get stickier too...

It's been a long hot summer

let's go undercover

Don't try too hard to think... don't think at all

草长莺飞,热浪来袭,呼吸吐纳,自在轮回.

炎炎夏日,杨柳成荫,芸芸众生,一叶障目.

杞人忧天,三人成虎,庸庸碌碌,一病不起.

万千思绪,心力憔悴,解数用尽,物是人非.

I'm not the only one staring at the sun

Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside

Not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun

Not the only one who's happy to go blind

There's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear

It's gonna itch and burn and sting

Do you want to see what the scratching brings

Waves that leave me out of reach

Breaking on your back like a beach...

Will we ever live in peace?

Cause those that can't do often have to

Those that can't do often have to...

灼瞑炙目,绚丽璀璨,遥望骄阳,心有所感.

浮沉混世,声色犬马,觥筹交错,失魂落魄.

寻光出壳,万千心象,春暖花开,面朝大海.

大象无形,大音希声,心驰神往,复返自然.

超然净土,安然遁世,永劫回归,心有所属.

歌手简介：

音乐风格上，除了传统的另类摇滚之外，在90年代中、后期U2也曾一度尝试过将摇滚与电子舞曲融合的流行摇滚。在歌曲主题上U2的创作内容也非常广泛，尤其是对于政治性的话题并不避讳，例如对社会公平公正的追求以及对人权问题的探讨。
