Pride


"Pride" by U2 is a song in the key of E major. It was released in 1984 as the lead single from their album "The Unforgettable Fire." The song is a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr., and it conveys messages of hope, unity, and social justice. Bono, the lead vocalist of U2, wrote the lyrics, which were inspired by a Pride march in Dublin. Interestingly, the Edge, U2's guitarist, initially developed the iconic guitar riff while experimenting with a delay pedal. The melody of "Pride" is characterized by powerful vocals, dynamic instrumentation, and an anthemic chorus that has made it a beloved and timeless song in U2's repertoire.
