U2
1987 - The Joshua Tree
Track 9 : One Tree Hill


We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy, love.

A sun so bright it leaves no shadows
Only scars carved into stone on the face of earth.

The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes.

You run like a river on to the sea
You run like a river runs to the sea.

And in the world, a heart of darkness, a fire-zone
Where poets speak their heart then bleed for it

Jara sang, his song a weapon in the hands of love.
You know his blood still cries from the ground.

It runs like a river runs to the sea.
It runs like a river to the sea.

I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful.

I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill.

We run like a river runs to the sea
We run like a river to the sea.

And when it's rainin', rainin' hard
That's when the rain will break a heart.

Rainin', rainin' in your heart
Rainin' in your heart.
Rainin', rain into your heart
Rainin', rainin', rainin'
Rain into your heart.
Rainin', ooh, rain in your heart, yeah.
Feel it.

Oh great ocean
Oh great sea
Run to the ocean
Run to the sea.

    Der Baum in meinem Bild hat leider das gleiche Schicksal erlitten wie der Original-One-Tree-Hill-Baum:
    Das war der Anfang vom Ende:

    Ja, solche Bäume zusammen mit dieser Musik, einfach genial. Gut auch dein passender U2-Schriftzug unter dem Bild. Gute Idee mit dem Projekt.

    Tolles Foto und im Zusammenhang mit dem song von U2 perfekt. Kannst Dein Projekt (Klasse Idee !!!) der Band ja mal als Werbemittel anbieten (frech schicken, manchmal gibt es Glück im Leben...). Ich finde, es paßt zu der Musik super gut !!!

    ich finde das eine tolle idee mit bildern geschichten zu erzählen oder auch nur etwas zu begleiten. Ich finde das bild aber auch ohne die geschichte unheimlich stark. motiv und bearbeitung.

    Die düstere Stimmung ist gewollt

    "U2 wrote this about Greg Carroll, a Maori from New Zealand who became an assistant and close friend of Bono after he met the band in 1985 while they were in his country. He was killed a year later when he was hit by a car while running an errand for Bono on Bono's motorcycle. The album The Joshua Tree, as well as this song, are dedicated to Greg Carroll.
    One Tree Hill is the tallest of 5 volcanic islands in Auckland where Greg Carroll took Bono his first night in New Zealand. It is a tourist attraction in Auckland, with a monument at the summit dedicated to John Logan Campbell, one of Auckland's founding fathers.
    The lyrics describe the traditional Maori burial that Greg Carroll was given at One Tree Hill.
    In 1994, the One Tree Hill tree was the victim of a chainsaw attack by a Maori activist which almost ringbarked it. A further attack in 1999 all but finished the job and the life expectancy of the tree was estimated to be only three years. By October 2000, the pine had become unstable and was a danger to the public. After careful study of the condition of the tree, the decision was made to take it down. The felling operation was successfully carried out on October 26 amid much public attention, and the Auckland skyline was changed forever. (thanks, Copper - Auckland, New Zealand)"

    Aktualisierung 13.02.2010 :
    Soeben gelesen: Nachdem dieser Hügel nun 9 Jahre ohne Baum war (und so natürlich seinem Namen nicht gerecht wird...), soll nun ein neuer Baum gepflanzt werden:
