U2 and the Religious Impulse examines indications in U2's music and
performances that the band work at conscious and subconscious
levels as artists who focus on matters of the spirit, religious
traditions, and a life guided by both belief and doubt. U2 is known
for a career of stirring songs, landmark performances and for its
interest in connecting with fans to reach a higher power to
accomplish greater purposes. Its success as a rock band is
unparalleled in the history of rock 'n' roll's greatest acts. In
addition to all the thrills one would expect from entertainers at
this level, U2 surprises many listeners who examine its lyrics and
concert themes by having a depth of interest in matters of human
existence more typically found in literature, philosophy and
theology. The multi-disciplinary perspectives presented here
account for the durability of U2's art and offer informed
explanations as to why many fans of popular music who seek a
connection with a higher power find U2 to be a kindred spirit. This
study will be of interest to scholars and students of religious
studies and musicology, interested in religion and popular music,
as well as religion and popular culture more broadly.
