U2
U2 has been perhaps the biggest music act in the world since the late
1980s to the current day. They take prominent stands on human rights
issues, expressed through their lyrics and other public statements and
actions.
The band's lead singer, Bono has become quite prominent in charity
movements and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The band
consists of Bono lead singer and songwriter;The Edge lead guitar,
keyboards, vocals; Adam Clayton; bass guitar; Larry Mullen drums. Their
manager is Paul Guinness.
The band's popular 1983 song "Sunday Bloody Sunday" commemorated the
slaughter of innocent civilians during the Irish troubles. It called for
a renunciation of violence, a sentiment that resonated greatly with the
people of Ireland. The band's 1984 album "Unforgettable Fire" was named
after paintings made by the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki
atomic bombs.
The album's songs "Pride" and "MLK" were both tributes to the
modern-day leader they most admire, Martin Luther KIng. Another song,
"Bad", was about heroin addiction, which was a serious problem in their
home town of Dublin at that time.
U2 were major participants in the historic and seminal "Live Aid"
concert of 1985, which raised funds for relief from a severe drought in
Ethiopia.

And you give yourself away.
And you give,
And you give,
And you give yourself away.
My hands are tied,
My body bruised, she's got me with.
Nothing to win,
And nothing else to lose.
And you give yourself away.
And you give yourself away.
And you give,
And you give,
And you give yourself away.
With or without you,
With or without you.
I can't live,
With or without you.
Oohh...
Oohh...
Oohh...
With or without you,
With or without you.
I can't live,
With or without you.
With or without you.
