Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2

 

This song was written by Bono and The Edge, the vocalist and the guitarrist of U2 respectly. Sunday Bloody Sunday was created in answer to the day of violence in Irland on Sunday, 30th January, 1972. That day was programmed a peaceful manifestation where over 15.000 people went out to the streets to favor of their civil rights and without explanation a group of soldiers opened fire to this innocent people, dying fourteen of them. 

The song was created for people who lost their family in this Bloody Sunday:

"Wipe the tears from your eyes

 Wipe your tears away"

That part is a form of console the families who lost a sister, a brother, a father, a mother, etc.

Sunday Bloody Sunday is like a anthem to this type of repression and violence not be repeated again.
