Так то в концерте.
А здесь сборник клипов. Кино в миниатюре. Та видео-основа, положив на которую мультиканальный микс, можно было продвигать Блю-рэй-Аудио: 2 в 1.
К творчеству Ю2 я отношусь прохладно и смогу слушать/смотреть, наверное, только видео-клипы. Попадаются перлы.
Вот мой хит-парад по этому неплохому сборнику:
1) The Sweetest Thing
2) Stuck In A Moment
3) Beautiful Day
Первый - это ироничный взгляд на неразделённую любовь. Режиссёр Кевин Годли (10сс) снял полный ударных моментов, забавных аллюзий и соответствий лирике видео-ряд, а Боно своей мимикой и игрой досказал всё, о чём спето… обратная сторона Любви.
Я привожу текст, так как без него не очень понятно о чём песня.
Цитата
"The Sweetest Thing"
My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she wants dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
I'm losing you
I'm losing you yeah
Ain't love the sweetest thing
I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
This is a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
I'm losing you
Oh oh oh, I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing (2x)
Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
Ours is a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
2 - Stuck In A Moment
На диске два варианта на эту песню, куплетно отличающихся.
Международный вариант, снятый известными мужиками из 10сс, имеет неплохую затравку: вываливающегося на поворте из авто Боно, намекая о том, что не всё в жизни проходит гладко. Сильный момент. Что делать дальше и как связано это с тестом – нить теряется, по-моему.
По силе соотвествия видео-ряда тексту американская версия лучше... Чисто жизненная и близкая каждому ситуация: тебе доверили штрафной удар…(или вообще, что-то ДОВЕРИЛИ), а ты ...
Ведь сколько раз мы сами говорили себе:
- Парень, ты должен собраться..
Упереться,
Отступать некуда...
Цитата
"Stuck In A Moment" (US Version)
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I will not forsake the colours that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks, they left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears, through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now, my, oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Oh Lord look at you now
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
And if, and if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass
И последнее слово: живи моментом, цени каждую минуту своей жизни.
Цитата
"Beautiful Day"
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
В целом это очень хороший сборник клипов (и песен тоже). Его минус (или как считать?) - многие клипы повторяются в другом известном сборнике, на обложке которого бизоны. Какой вам ближе - решайте сами. В любом случае они оба интереснее любого концертного выступления Ю2.
Ставлю 10 баллов.
