Vertigo - U2

Vertigo是一首很強勁熱血的歌。

Vertigo收錄在2004年推出的專輯How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb。Vertigo拿下2005年葛萊美獎（Grammy Awards）三座大獎：Best Rock Song、Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal和Best Short Form Music Video。苹果電腦甚至還為Vertigo的宣傳而推出U2特別版iPod，iTune也同時推出特別精選輯The Complete U2，裡頭收錄了U2所有的歌。




How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb總共拿下八座葛萊美獎，所有被提名的項目都得獎，極為風光。How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb奪得2006年Album of the Year和Best Rock Album，Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own奪得Song of the Year和Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal，City of Blinding Lights奪得Best Rock Song。




How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb雖然叫好叫座，迄今在全球賣出超過一千萬張，可是評價卻兩極化。有樂評覺得How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb裡頭的歌雖然很好聽，可是卻沒有太大的特色，也有人覺得U2也開始太這商業化取向了。我本身相當喜歡How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb裡的好幾首歌，可是卻覺得整張專輯感覺上似乎少了什麼......

Vertigo也收錄在U218 Singles：




Vertigo的歌詞：

Unos, dos, tres, catorce [1,2,3,4]

Turn it up loud, captain!

Lights go down
It's dark
The jungle is your head
Can't rule your heart
I'm feeling so much stronger
Than I thought
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul
it can't be bought
your mind can wander

Hello, Hello
Hola! [Spanish for Hello]
I'm at a place called vertigo [Where is it?]
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you give me something I can feel
Feel
The night is full of holes
Those bullets rip the sky
Of ink with gold
They twinkle as the boys play rock and roll
They know that they can't dance
At least they know

I can't stand the beat
I'm askin' for the cheque
Girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus 'round the neck
Swinging to the music
Swinging to the music
Woooao

Hello, Hello
Hola!
I'm at a place called Vertigo [Where is it?]
It's everything I wish I didn't know
But you give me something I can feel
Feel
All this, all this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
All this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want
And no one gets hurt

Hello, Hello
Hola!
I'm at a place called Vertigo
Lights go down and all I know
Is that you give me something I can feel
You're teaching me ...aaahhh
Your love is teaching me ...aaaah
How to kneel
Kneel

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
