After a string of unexpected circumstances, on Friday afternoon, Chris and I found ourselves picking up tickets to the U2 concert that happened last night at Invesco Field. To say that we were excited, would be a MAJOR understatement!! I saw U2 under the Brooklyn Bridge back in 2004, but seeing a U2 concert has been a major item on Chris' bucket list, so we were both THRILLED for the opportunity!
Though we had been excited to see U2, words can't express how unbelievably powerful their show was. The show itself was beyond amazing (HUGE!!!) and made even at a show at Invesco field seem intimate. The band was so inspiring with their message of social justice and our ability to make a difference in the world. Though not one of my favorite U2 songs, "Beautiful Day" was one of the most powerful songs of the show. There was one particular point in the song that struck me...just two simple lines.
"Touch me, take me to another place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case"
For some reason, hearing Bono sing these words in the midst of such a powerful, beautiful show really struck me. The world is so full of beauty and things to rejoice about and yet, somehow, we find ourselves mired down by the things that we worry about and we get stuck in the day-to-day stresses of life. I felt like the U2 concert was the breath of fresh air I needed to see that as big as the world is, there is beauty in it and I indeed have much to learn and rejoice in. It was one of many wonderful moments in the show!
Here's a fun article that has some great pictures (close up) and some of the show highlights. You can check it out here
And last, but not least, here's a not-so-fab picture of us right before the concert, along with a fun video clip (also, not so high quality, but better then nothing! :)
