Please indulge me because I wish to put in a commentary about an earlier mentioned song PRIDE (((((( in the name of love ))))))
I find this very interesting and profound ! ( I know I'm off topic )
Bono is speaking about those throughout history who have died because they preached of the equality of all men and practiced non-violence as the only way to achieve their goal of having this equality universally recognized.
MLK is the primary example of non-violent resistance as the only way to bring about changes in civil rights. But there are allusions to others; Christ for example.
The song is about singular "people" (including Christ as man) that lived their life with pride. Not in a boastful way, but with the pride a personhas when their thoughts and actions are motivated by their understanding and full awareness of the dignity and sanctity of ALL human life.
The song is a tribute or illustration or reminder to us, of martyrs to this ideal. It speaks to how they lived their life with an inner Pride in all of humanity and that this Pride is really an expression of God's love for all of humanity. These people did what they did because they were trying to spread this message of God's love for all of mankind.This began as a song about US president Ronald Reagan. Bono had lyrics written condemning Reagan for an arrogant pride that led to nuclear escalation.
King was killed on a Memphis motel balcony on April 4, 1968. Bono sings "early morning, April 4," but King was actually killed in the evening. Bono has acknowledged the mistake and sometimes sings it as "early evening, April 4."

Here's the audition of Paul Potts on Britian's Got Talent. While I'm not a huge fan of opera, this guy is absolutely incredible....Even Simon was impressed:

Oh Enya....all day. First time I heard her was on the radio when Only Time came out. The world stopped at that moment. I love love love Celtic music. I listen to the theme from Lord of the Rings and her voice touches my soul.
