so the songwriting uh give us some insight there how does that work what do you do and how does
it happen just wake up and it's finished really this comes in dreams yeah I think
there's no there's no one way that songs come but like um well let's give you an example maybe
you're kidding for example let's do yes I would love that oh and there's a guitar here how funny
so uh so we we often start with a piece of music in in the case of this song stuck in a moment it
was a piece of music I was working on a piano but um I I really like how it sounds on guitar so I
was playing at tabano and it's it was a sort of song with a gospel quality and but we wanted to
write a kind of an A A Love Song but not not a sort of straight Love Song and Bono got inspired
lyrically yeah there was also Larry and Adam heard it and Larry thought it sounded [ __ ] uh
I don't know I don't know what that means it's it's a it's it's Irish foreign touch with your
feminine self and um and and and so we actually he was kind of right because of the very high
chorus and we wanted a bit more biting and we had we still miss but we were really missing
at the time a very very good friend of ours a guy called Michael Hutchins who sang for INXS and uh
beautiful man um and and it's he he died in a horrible way and
and I got you know sometimes with grief I think it'll confect you in a different way and I wrote
this song as kind of like an angry song in a way it's a sort of it's like an argument between two
friends and that's what contrasts the emotion of this beautiful chorus which uh Edge had got
coming from the gospel tradition if you want to we can do a little bit of it if you like [Music]
I'm not afraid of anything in this world there's nothing you can throw
at me that I haven't already heard I'm just trying to fight a decent Melody
a song that I can sing my own company and you are such a fool
to worry like you do
you gotta stand up straight carry your own way these kids are going nowhere baby you've
got to get yourself together you've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
don't say that later we'll be better now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
I will not forsake the colors that you break for the night you fill with fireworks do
they leave you with nothing I am still Enchanted by a light you brought to me
still listen through your wrists through your eyes I can see and you are such a fool
to worry like you do
I know it's tough and you can never get enough of what you don't really need it now my love
I you've got to get yourself together you got stuck in the moment I know you can't get out of it
oh look at you now stuck in that moment [Music]
I wasn't jumping for me it was a fall it's a long way down to nothing at all
let's go again the water is warm till you discover how deep it's
a long way down to nothing at all [Music]
you've got to get yourself together you got stuck in the moment and you can't get out of it
don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
