The group consists of Bono (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), the Edge (lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion). Initially rooted in post-punk, U2's musical style evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an anthemic sound built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's effects-based guitar textures. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal and sociopolitical themes. Popular for their live performances, the group has staged several ambitious and elaborate tours over their career.

The band formed at Mount Temple Comprehensive School in 1976 when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. Within four years, they signed with Island Records and released their debut album, Boy (1980). Subsequent work such as their first UK number-one album, War (1983), and the singles "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Pride (In the Name of Love)" helped establish U2's reputation as a politically and socially conscious group. By the mid-1980s, they had become renowned globally for their live act, highlighted by their performance at Live Aid in 1985. The group's fifth album, The Joshua Tree (1987), made them international superstars and was their greatest critical and commercial success. Topping music charts around the world, it produced their only number-one singles in the US, "With or Without You" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".

Facing creative stagnation and a backlash following their documentary/double album, Rattle and Hum (1988), U2 reinvented themselves in the 1990s through a new musical direction and public image. Beginning with their acclaimed seventh album, Achtung Baby (1991), and the multimedia-intensive Zoo TV Tour, the band integrated influences from alternative rock, electronic dance music, and industrial music into their sound, and embraced a more ironic, flippant image. This experimentation continued through their ninth album, Pop (1997), and the PopMart Tour, which were mixed successes. U2 regained critical and commercial favour with the records All That You Can't Leave Behind (2000) and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2004), which established a more conventional, mainstream sound for the group. Their U2 360° Tour of 2009–2011 is the highest-attended and highest-grossing concert tour in history. The group's thirteenth album, Songs of Innocence (2014), was released at no cost through the iTunes Store, but received criticism for its automatic placement in users' music libraries.

U2 has released 14 studio albums and is one of the world's best-selling music artists in history, having sold more than 170 million records worldwide. They have won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other band, and in 2005, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility. Rolling Stone ranked U2 at number 22 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". Throughout their career, as a band and as individuals, they have campaigned for human rights and philanthropic causes, including Amnesty International, Jubilee 2000, the ONE/DATA campaigns, Product Red, War Child, and Music Rising.

Foundation: The band originally formed in 1976 when Larry Mullen posted a bulletin in his school asking for musicians to form a rock band. The band then consisted of the four current members plus three additional guitarists, including The Edge’s brother Dick Evans (later a member of Virgin Prunes), Ivan McCormick and Peter Martin. According to legend, Bono originally auditioned as a guitarist but couldn’t play. He auditioned as lead vocals, but really couldn’t sing. He was, however, incredibly enthusiastic about the band, extremely charismatic, a great writer, and was strangely able to reach the audience when the band played, something he is known for still today. Bono will reach out into the crowd and dance or mess with someone in the crowd at every concert. He was kept as a member. The extra guitarists would soon leave the band and the group would go through the names “Feedback ” and “The Hype” before finally settling on U2.

The 70s & 80s: 1978 was a jumping point year for the band, finally finding their sound / voice. U2 won a talent contest in 1978: £500 and funds to make a record. Paul McGuinness became the band’s manager and U2 released an EP called Three and the single Another Day, the following year. U2 went on to release their first album, Boy and then more critically acclaimed albums incl.: October, War, Under A Blood Red Sky, and The Unforgettable Fire (featuring the song PlayMLK dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr). Seen by many as a political band with more charisma than others, they were called “a different kind” of band. After a short break U2 returned with The Joshua Tree & the USA music inspired Rattle And Hum (also a movie of the same name, based on the tour).

The 90s: Promising ”to dream it all up again”, they added industrial and dance styles to their music. Trying to drop a goody two shoes image, they went to Berlin (Germany), supposedly to develop new self-expressions. From there they started to make fun of themselves and had a good time of it in albums like Achtung Baby (meaning ”watch out, baby”, artwork feat. make-up artist Nassim Khalifa) & Zooropa. Bono took on many stage personae such as “The Fly”, “Mirrorball Man” and “Mr. MacPhisto” for the gigantic ZOO TV Tour. Later they continued to make fun of Pop culture and all its extremes with the album Pop and consequent PopMart tour which was announced to be launched at a Kmart store and included a giant golden arch across the stage.

The 00s: At the end of the 90’s into 00’s U2 became less image and more reality. With the death of Bono’s good friend Michael Hutchence, the lead singer of INXS, Bono wrote more songs from the heart surrounding ideas like life and death, children, hope, and the real world past all the pop culture and TV. Some say they’ve returned to a more band-centric sound with albums like All That You Can’t Leave Behind which features a song, Kite, dedicated to Bono’s father who passed away shortly after the album’s conception and 2004’s How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.

The 10s: U2 went on the U2 360° Tour in 2009 and 2010. This tour set records for the highest-grossing concert tour. The band worked with producer Danger Mouse for their thirteenth album Songs of Innocence, which was released on 9 September 2014 for free to all Apple iCloud users.

The Name: There are many theories as to the origin of the name U2. For example, U2 was an intelligence airplane that was in use by the United States during the Cold War. Other obvious candidates include “You too” and “You two”, etc. Nonetheless the official line on the name’s origins remains unknown. The band has been quoted as saying that they did think of the U2 spy plane, but remain hushed about other reasons… U2

Stuck in a Moment You Can
U2 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight

These tears are going nowhere, baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake, the colors that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears
And through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now, my oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping
For me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter

Along the stony pass it's just a moment
This time will pass

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of U2's song "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" deals with the theme of getting trapped in a moment and not being able to move on. Bono, the singer, is speaking directly to someone who seems to be dealing with depression, anxiety or simply feeling stuck in their life. He is not afraid of anything in this world and believes he has already heard everything negative that people can throw at him. While he is able to find a decent melody and sing in his own company, he notices how his companion is stuck in their own negative thoughts and emotions.

Bono encourages the person to stand up straight, carry their own weight, and get themselves together. He's telling them not to wait for later to be better because they are currently stuck in a moment, and they can't get out of it. The lyrics 'I will not forsake the colors that you bring' means that he appreciates the person's talents, but the fireworks that they brought were only temporary and have left them with nothing. The lines, 'I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me, I still listen through your ears, And through your eyes I can see', suggest that Bono understands what the person is going through and appreciates some things about the person.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
I am not scared of any challenge or obstacle in my life

There's nothing you can throw at me
I have faced a lot of difficulties, and I am not afraid of any more problems

That I haven't already heard
There is no obstacle that is new to me

I'm just trying to find a decent melody
I am looking for a good tune that I can enjoy on my own

A song that I can sing in my own company
I am searching for a song that I could sing even if there is no one else around

I never thought you were a fool
I never considered you as stupid

But darling, look at you
But now you are acting foolishly

You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
You need to be confident and responsible for your actions

These tears are going nowhere, baby
Crying won't solve anything

You've got to get yourself together
You need to gather yourself

And now you can't get out of it
You are stuck in a situation and can't seem to get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Don't assume that your situation will improve in the future

I will not forsake, the colors that you bring
I won't forget the impact that you have had on my life

But the nights you filled with fireworks
But the moments of happiness that you provided were short-lived

They left you with nothing
These moments of euphoria didn't leave you with anything substantial

I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I am still fond of your impact on my life

I still listen through your ears
I remember your perspective of things

And through your eyes I can see
I can see situations from your point of view

And you are such a fool
You are acting foolishly

To worry like you do
You are worrying unnecessarily

I know it's tough
I understand that it's difficult

And you can never get enough
You can't seem to satisfy your desires

Of what you don't really need now, my oh my
You are chasing after things that are not necessary

Oh love look at you now
You are now in a terrible situation

I was unconscious, half asleep
I was unaware and not alert

The water is warm till you discover how deep
Things can seem easy until you realize the gravity of the situation

I wasn't jumping
I wasn't taking risks knowingly

For me it was a fall
For me, things went downhill

It's a long way down to nothing at all
It's a lengthy journey with no prospect of success in the end

And if the night runs over
If the difficulties linger

And if the day won't last
And if the moment of happiness is brief

And if our way should falter
And if we face challenges

Along the stony pass
Along the difficult journey

This time will pass
This situation will change eventually

STUCK IN A MOMENT

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you (Ooh)
You gotta stand up straight,
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere (baby)

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

You are such a fool
To worry like you do. (Oh)
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half *asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down, to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

(And if the night runs over)
(And if the day won't last)
(And if our way should falter)
(Along the stony pass)

(And if the night runs over)
And if, and if the night runs over
(And if the day won't last)
And if, the day won't last
(And if your way should falter)
And if your way should falter
(Along the stony pass)
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass...

This song meant so much to me while recovering from depression. I don’t know where i’d be without it. Especially the last lines of the song affected me.
”And if, and if the night runs over
And if, the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony paths
It's just a moment
This time will pass”

I’m still alive and today i’ve recovered and will soon be back at work again.
I survived depression, i didn’t commit suicide. It was close a few times.

If you feel depressed, sad or whatever; Please remember that it’s just a moment and not an whole life. It will get better, i promise you that. You’ll find happiness again. Whoever you might be, i want you to know that your life matters and YOU MATTER!

Have a little faith. I survived, and you will too. <3

I just learned this was written for Michael Hutchence, a good friend of Bono’s. Written partly before and partly after his death. Knowing that now gives this song even more depth and meaning for me.

Mattez: thank you for your generous, selfless words. You may have just done for me (and my wife and three children, who have no idea how low I've been) what this song did you you. After a lifetime mired in intermittent depression, at 61 I've just become beaten to resignation by it and today...for the first time...I actually began seriously researching a 'method'. Something in your words has restored my hope that I am just 'Stuck in a moment'.

Never been a massive fan of U2. I loved a lot of songs from them since their beginnings, but never a fanatic. But this song is simply beautiful. While written for Michael, I think is one of those songs that could save anyone from depression. I actually listen to it in many times of depression. When Bono and Edge get inspired they really know how to write tunes that reach the heart. The last minute of this song is simply a beautiful uplifiting thing. "It's just a moment, this time will pass".

The song is about Michael Hutchence, a friend of Bono’s who killed himself. The message in this video it’s pretty heavy! I didn’t get it back then when I was 9 years old but I get it now. Someone who’s falling and the people who care about him just can’t get to him, and when they do, it’s too late.
Not their best album, but definitely my favorite! Long live U2!

Yeah - but there are elements of that song that he definitely wrote before Michael Hutchence's passing (google him Gen Z'ers - INXS - total legend).
