Story & Background
The genesis of "Songs of Experience" was profoundly influenced by the global political turmoil of 2016. Although much of the album had already been recorded, the band decided to re-evaluate and rewrite numerous tracks after Brexit and the presidential election in the United States. Bono and The Edge felt that the world had changed so drastically that a rethinking of the lyrics and themes, initially more intimate and personal, became necessary. This turning point, which led to significant delays in its release, transformed the album from a private reflection into a broader commentary on the state of the world and the need for resistance and hope in uncertain times, reflecting the group's maturity and experience.
