Z wywiadu z hiszpańskiego radia:
After becoming Songs of Innocence Songs of Experience. Tell me about the next album.
Bono: Yes, we took the titles of both albums of the poet William Blake. I know it sounds pretentious, but it's fun: these songs come from a place very raw and staff where we try to discover what made us who we are. Songs of Experience is about us in today's world: how did we get here? Are we are a four-headed monster? What would the young Larry Mullen Larry Mullen on today, what would he think of me young Bono? We'll have fun with that. As a young man I was very stern, I saw everything in black and white, even more than now, and if you had then told us with a technological aliaríamos megacorporation, my youngest would throw me to the ground and tie the hands. But now my thought that this corporation has creative people who want to help us expand our art, artists and musicians charge. That makes sense to me! And this also applies to love, my life ... young and old me are very different, and let's have fun with it the games begin!
Znakomita jest ta koncepcja jak się tak o niej czyta.
