Heaven knows this is a heartland

"This is a song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles. We´re stealing it back", narração em off, por Paul Hewson. Um plano em preto & branco se abre, com a câmera em travelling. Talvez a maneira mais bonita de começar um documentário de rock. Pelo menos a mais bela que já vi. Aparecem no palco The Edge, Bono, Adam Clayton & Larry Mullen Jr - os irlandeses na América, rasgando ao vivo, uma versão de "Helter Skelter", dos Beatles. Este é RATTLE AND HUM (1988), de U2, dirigido por Phil Jouanou.



Bono & BB King, que também participa do álbum/documentário, na Lovetown Tour (1989)

HEARTLAND - U2 (na terra de Elvis, em Rattle and Hum)

See the sun rise over her skin
Don't change it
See the sun rise over her skin
Dawn changes everything
Everything
And the delta sun
Burns bright and violet

Mississippi and the cotton wool heat
Sixty-six a highway speaks
Of deserts dry
Of cool green valleys
Gold and silver veins
Of the shining cities

In this heartland
In this heartland soil
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heartland

See the sun rise over her skin
She feels like water in my hand
Freeway like a river cuts through this land
Into the side of love
Like a burning spear
And the poison rain
Brings a flood of fear
Through the ghost-ranch hills
Death valley waters
In the towers of steel
Belief goes on and on

In this heartland
In this heartland soil
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heartland
Heartland...heaven's day here in the heartland
Heart...
