Hey what do you know!
“Summer of Love†is a sexy song, but a dark undertow, and the song deals with Aleppo. It starts as a couple in a position of privilege talking about moving to California and moving on in life, but as the song shifts it becomes a song about refugees drowning, trying to get to a better life. Bono: “It’s so light a listen, you can miss the dark undertow in it. It’s a beautiful sexy song.†Bono talks about looking out on the Mediterranean at his home in France, and realizing it was the same water that refugees are dying in, risking everything to flee war.
Lyric: “I’ve been thinking of the west coast, but not the one everyone knows†(a reference to Syria)
^ i think I might've mentioned that lyric before
?. Maybe lady Gaga really is on the track
