U2 Mothers of the Disappeared HQ with Lyrics in Description

Описание: Track 11 from their fifth album "The Joshua Tree" released in 1987 copyright Island Records. It was recorded at Danesmoate House in Rathfarnham, Ireland, the Edge's house named "Melbeath" in Monkstown by the sea and, of course, Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin, where they had recorded parts of every previous album. The band chose to write songs that were more direct in their message and influenced by the roots music of America and Ireland. The album's theme was America and the wide open spaces and desolation that can be found, particularly in the western deserts. They again used Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno as producers having worked with them on their previous, more experimental album "The Unforgettable Fire." They also brought in Steve Lillywhite, who had produced their first three albums, to produce the final mixes of the songs, partly in an effort to make them more radio-friendly. To say the album was successful is a slight understatement since it's currently listed at No. 44 on the list of the world's best-selling albums. It's sold 25 million copies worldwide, taking the band from heroes to superstars. The album received unanimously excellent reviews and won the Grammy Awards for "Album of the Year" and "Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group with Vocal" the following year. In 2014 it was inducted into the US National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress for being culturally and historically significant. It reached the Top 40 in seventeen countries, including No. 1 in nine. Among its numerous certifications, it has achieved Platinum or greater status in sixteen countries, including 10X Platinum in the U.K., 14X Platinum in New Zealand and Diamond status in the U.S. and Canada.

Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

In the wind we hear their laughter
In the rain we see their tears
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over black and blue
Hear their heartbeats
We hear their heartbeats

In the trees our sons stand naked
Through the walls our daughters cry
See their tears in the rainfall
