To start the year with our favorite band, a memento from the 80´s...
Third song of the 1983 album "War". It is distinguisihed by Adam´s powerful bassline and Edge alternating between keyboards and guitar. It´s one of U2´s most frequently performed live song.
In 1983, Bono said of the song, "It would be stupid to start drawing up battle lines, but I think the fact that 'New Year's Day' made the Top Ten indicated a disillusionment among record buyers. I don't think 'New Year's Day' was a pop single, certainly not in the way that Mickie Most might define a pop single as something that lasts three minutes and three weeks in the chart. I don't think we could have written that kind of song.

"All is quiet on New Year’s Day.A world in white gets underway.I want to be with you, be with you night and day.Nothing changes on New Year’s Day..."
Starting as a love song, it changes into a song inspired by the Polish "Solidarity" movement.The video also features footage of Soviet troops advancing in winter during World War II.
Hope that the world could be quieter in 2009, things change in the New Year and all wars or attacks cease!!
