The Saints Are Coming- U2 and Green Day
Performed by U2 and Green live during the first game in the Superdome since Katrina ravaged the city of New Orleans. This song embodies so much of the rage, grief and dispair by those trapped in a city under water. A great cover for this classic Skids song.
Live version- from the superdome. I like this version better because you can feel the power and passion in their words.
A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief
How long now?
Until the weather change condems belief
How long now?
When the night watchman lets in the thief
How long now?
Check out the music video with its twist of rewriting history to show what should have happened.
