U2: American Obituary

[Fiendish Thingy]

Thought this deserved more visibility, so I posted in GD.

Musically, I like this song much better than Springsteen’s. It’s more impactful, IMO.

2. Awesome! I was hoping they would join

the fight. My favorite of this crop of protest songs is Billy Bragg/City of Heroes.

4. Excellent song!

and I was surprised that the EP is actually pretty good too. I like it better than some of their most recent stuff.

6. Excellent!

The Taylor Swift crowd may never hear it, but we oldies are inspired.

For those joining the Singing Resistance, there are some good ones in this song. Power of the People!!

12. I posted it and an article about it and another song from the EP yesterday in both GD and Music Appreciation.

13. Sorry for the dupe

Although, to be fair, I think the lyric video was just released today.

14. I'm glad you posted it, since your post is getting more attention for it.

All six of the videos were released yesterday, with American Obituary the 4th uploaded to YouTube, though it has more than twice as many views as any of the other songs.

I'd seen it mentioned on Reddit and then looked for other articles about it to decide which one to post.
