         說到世界天團U2，我總是會想到Electrical Storm(狂風暴雨)這首歌！U2歷年來發行的單曲，普遍在各國單曲榜都有一定的成績，像是Beautiful Day、Staring At The Sun和The Saints Are Coming(和GreenDay合作)等等許多歌在內都是U2的代表性歌曲。

         U2給我的印象就是很厲害，甚至光看他們站上舞台，散發出來的氣勢就讓我覺得很強，但說真的，U2很多歌對我來說，聽起來並沒有特別的感覺， Electrical Storm(Willam Obit Mix)這首歌算是給我的感受非常深刻的了。

         Electrical Storm這首歌是收錄在2002年的The Best of 1990–2000精選輯裡，是該專輯額外收錄的新歌(兩首新歌的其中一首)。這首歌充分展現U2主唱Bono的歌唱實力，整首歌用了許多假音，音也相當高，是有相當難度的一首歌。Electrical Storm抒情意味相當濃厚，在U2歷年單曲裡算是抒情意味相當相當強的一首歌，寄託了相當濃烈的情感。

         也許會吵架、傷心、掉淚，但深愛對方的戀人們，還是離不開彼此，You're in my mind all of the time，妳永遠在我心裡，我們心中還有同樣的願景在，戀人們內心深處是如此矛盾和掙扎，就像狂風暴雨一樣，翻湧不息。下次她哭的時候，你是否想說聲，Baby don`t cry呢？

          Electrical Storm最後重覆四次的Baby don`t cry，在爬格子的吉他聲和在Bono哀悽高亢的嗓音裡，敘說著這樣的款款深情……

Electrical Storm

The sea it swells like a sore head
And the night it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
And the day it is breaking

On rainy days we go swimming out
On rainy days swimming in the sound
On rainy days we go swimming out

You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack there must be some way back
For love and only love

Car alarm won't let you back to sleep
You're kept awake dreaming someone else's dream
Coffee is cold, but it'll get you through
Compromise, that's nothing new to you

Let's see colors that have never been seen
Let's go to places no one else has been

You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
But if the sky can crack there must be some way back
To love and only love

Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby, don't cry

It's hot as hell, honey, in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
We need the rain to wash away our bad luck

Well if the sky can crack there must be some way back
For love and only love

Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm

Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
