I already loved this song and thought it was kick-ass since the first time I heard it, but...Damn, the video is really amazing.
Some of you have probably already heard this song before. It's "The Saints are Coming" by U2 and Green Day. You know, the one they performed at the Super Dome for the first Saints game this season. Anyway, the song is awesome. I finally saw the video today, and it just brought tears to my eyes. Not because it's really that sad, but it's just so touching what they did with the media footage they put in there. It's all about New Orleans and Katrina and when the troops came in to help the victims. You should watch it because I said so. =P
Seriously, it's worth watching if you have the time. Like I said, the song itself is cool, but the video just makes it that much more awesme.
Enjoy. :)
"The Saints are Coming"
Green Day:
There is a house in New Orleans
they call the Rising Sun.
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God, I know I'm one.
U2:
I cried to my daddy on the telephone,
"How long now,
Until the clouds unroll and you come down?"
The line went.
But the shadows still remain since your descent,
your descent.
Green Day:
I cried to my daddy on the telephone,
"How long now,
Until the clouds unroll and you come home?"
The line went.
But the shadows still remain since your descent,
your descent.
Chorus (together) :
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply.
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply.
A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief
How long now,
Until the weather change condemns belief,
How long now?
When the night watchman is in the fleet
What's wrong now?
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply...
--U2 & Green Day
