U2 es una banda de música rock, originaria de Dublín (Irlanda), formada en 1976 por Bono (voz y guitarra), The Edge (guitarra, teclado y voz), Adam Clayton (bajo), y Larry Mullen, Jr. (batería y percusión). El sonido inicial de U2 tenía sus raíces en el post-punk, pero eventualmente empezaron a incorporar a su música géneros más populares. A lo largo de la búsqueda musical de la banda, han mantenido un sonido construido a base de instrumentales melódicos, destacados por la textura musical de The Edge y la voz expresiva de Bono. Sus letras, a menuda ordenadas con imágenes espirituales, se centran en temas personales y de preocupaciones sociopolíticas.
U2 se formó en la Mount Temple Comprehensive School, cuando sus miembros iniciales eran adolescentes y tenían un limitado conocimiento musical.

The Fly
Canción de U2 perteneciente a su disco Achtung Baby. Fue descrita por el mismo The Edge como "divertida".
El tema tocado por la canción es acerca de la veracidad de los medios de información, en especial la de la televisión (por eso la cita "watch more TV" aparece en el video), en una época en que se suscitaba la Guerra del Golfo.
"The Fly" is a song by rock band U2. It is the seventh track from their 1991 album Achtung Baby and it was released as the album's first single on 12 October 1991. "The Fly" introduced a more abrasive sounding U2, as the song featured hip-hop and industrial beats, distorted vocals, and an elaborate guitar solo. Lead vocalist Bono described the single as "the sound of four men chopping down the Joshua Tree," due to its departure from the traditional sound that had characterised the band in the 1980s.
Oh, baby child...
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I don't see you when she walks in the room
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you, child
Love...we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will beg
A man will crawl
On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief
Over love... we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
Love...we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
Oh, yeah!
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploded 'cause of one man's lie
Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things if I could I'd rearrange

"Wake Up Dead Man"
began as an upbeat song from the Achtung Baby sessions in 1991. It evolved into a darker composition during the Zooropa sessions, but it was shelved until Pop. One of the band's darkest songs,[15] "Wake Up Dead Man" features Bono pleading with Jesus to return and save mankind,[16] evident in the lyrics "Jesus / Jesus help me / I'm alone in this world / And a fucked-up world it is too". It is also one of only a few U2 songs to include profanity.
Jesus
Jesus help me
I'm alone in this world
And a fucked up world it is too
Tell me
Tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way it's all gonna be
Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man
Jesus
I'm waiting here boss
I know you're looking out for us
But maybe your hands aren't free
Your Father
He made the world in seven
He's in charge of heaven
Will you put a word in for me
Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man
Listen to your words
They'll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over the sounds of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time
Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man
Jesus
Were you just around the corner?
Did you think to try and warn her?
Or are you working on something new?
If there's and order
In all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder?
Can we rewind it just once more
Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man
