Autor: Aaron J. Sams
Sinopse: U2 formed in 1976 when the drummer posted a note to the school bulletin board. Over forty years later, the band is still producing music and touring the world with the same line-up they have had ever since the 1970s. U2 have become one of the most successful rock bands of all time, releasing fourteen studio albums and over seventy singles. In this book, the reader is guided through each release, song by song, from the band's first album "Boy" (1980) until the single “Your Song Saved My Life” released in 2021. Everyone knows U2's biggest hits—songs like “With or Without You,” “One,” and “Beautiful Day”—but delve into all of the songs including B-sides, compilation tracks, and lesser-known album tracks. U2: Song by Song is a look at every song by the Irish rock group, written by a lifelong U2 fan. The book provides an examination of each track including the inspirations behind them and the impact that these songs have had on the world today. U2: Song by Song charts U2's rise to success, documenting chart positions, and awards given to each song.
