U2 wins five GRAMMY Awards


U2 is the great winner of the 48th edition of the Grammy Awards.
The Irish band of vocalist Bono won 5 of the important American music awards. The Album 'How Dismantle An Atomic Bomb' earned awards in the categories The Album Of The Year and The Best Rock Album. The hit 'Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own' won an award in the category Song Of The Year. Also the number 'City Of Blinding Lights' won an award in the category Best Rock Song. The band won from among others Kanye West and Mariah Carey which be satisfied to win each three Grammys. During the Granting of the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, Bono said to the losers: 'Mariah, you sing as an angel and Kanye, you’re the next'.

Mariah Carey won three Grammys for the Best R&B Album (The Emancipation Of Mimi) and the Best R&B Song (We Belong Together). Beside it, this song earned also an award for the Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. Kanye West won with the hits 'Gold Digger' and 'Diamonds From Sierra Leone' and the Album 'Late Registration' in total three Grammys. Best New Artist was John Legend. Former American Idols winner Kelly Clarkson won two Grammys. She was very happy because previously she didn’t expected to win an award.

Nowadays, from the album 'How Dismantle An Atomic Bomb', the song ‘Original To The Species’ is one of my favorite song. I love Gaelics lyrics, poet and writers. I’ll dedicate this song to all who are meaningful in my life...


Original To The Species


Baby slow down

The end is not as fun as the start
Please stay a child somewhere in your heart

I'll give you everything you want
Except the thing that you want
You are the first one of your kind

And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
And I kneel 'cause I want you some more
I want the lot of what you got
And I want nothing that you're not

Everywhere you go you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it

Some things you shouldn't get too good at
Like smiling, crying and celebrity
Some people got way too much confidence baby, baby...

I'll give you everything you want
Except the thing that you want
You are the first one of your kind

And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
I kneel 'cause I want you some more
I want the lot of what you got
And I want nothing that you're not

Everywhere you go you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it
No, Oh no, Oh no, no, no…

And you'll never be alone
Come on now show your soul
You've been keeping your love under control

Everywhere you go you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it
Everywhere you go you shout it
Oh my, my…

And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
I kneel 'cause I want you some more
I want you some more, I want you some more...
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no…
