'A Time To Run For Cover...'

18

Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell.
A time for different colours
Different names you find hard to spell..

Another video special for subscribers, Miss Sarajevo, captured live in Anaheim and featuring a remarkable new animation by Run Wrake.

The idea of using childrens drawings came from Bono, who remembered an exhibition he'd seen of children's pictures in Mostar. Images of princesses and beauty queens seque into drawings from warzone, the matter-of-fact childrens illustration style complementing the theme of the song.

Why cut ot off at best bit?
Is this site trying to ruin my experience of U2 or enhance it?

Grazie Mille!
The poignancy of this updated video for Miss Sarajevo has brought tears to my eyes. Thanks, Bono, for being such an unstoppable machine gun of creative ideas... Thanks, Wille for making them come true... Thanks, Run Wrake for the animation.

Time for different colours
Bono;s idea to use drawings of children as visuals for "Miss Sarajevo" is wonderful!!! For children drawing is such an essential way to express all their thoughts and feelings, because creativity gives them the freedom to develop something very personal and unique. Every human being is born with the archaic need to create art. For the children of Mostar drawing must have had a healing effect on them. It is so great that these works were presented in an exhibition, because a meaningful presentation is always a wonderful way to appreciate children. All pictures we see here truly transform the message of the song into a strong visual language. The drawings of the princesses and flowers were done with much love and earnestness and looking at the images of the planes, helicopters, burning houses and people surrounded with blood I can see the children;s sincerity to express all the ugly things that happen in the world. With these great visuals U2 still create some remarkable changes of their 360 show after two years.

Beauty before God.
My 8th show over a 30 year span. The 1 thing that was on my wish list was to hear Ms Sarajevo live. Not disappointed, my deepest appreciation to Maestro Bono. I can understand how massive of a vocal undertaking it is. Thank you for making my wish & the show for me. U2 shows are for me, an emotional roller coaster. Again thanks for the ride.

Beautiful!
Well, Bono has still got it. I remember that song at the Auckland show and he did an amazing job of resurrecting Pavarotti then as well :)

HVALA- THANK YOU
Thank you for singing this song. Not so many people know what it was about and whom it was dedicated. I loved the video and I definitely appreciated it in the name of Sarajevo- my hometown. Keep up great work guys. You are truly inspiration. Love you a lot. B.

Another reason why I love this band/tour
Never standing still, never resting on their laurels. So many other bands would be coasting to the end now. Instead U2 and their tour crew are delivering the best work of their careers! Wonderful.
