Sunday Bloody Sunday

"Sunday Bloody Sunday" is a song by the Irish rock band U2, written and performed in the original key of D major. Released in 1983, the song is a powerful protest against the violence that occurred during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. U2's lead vocalist, Bono, composed the lyrics, drawing inspiration from the events of January 30, 1972, commonly known as Bloody Sunday. The track incorporates elements of post-punk and alternative rock. Over time, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" has become one of U2's signature songs, known for its iconic drum intro and politically charged lyrics. It's worth noting that the song often opens their live performances and was featured in their album "War." The melody is characterized by a dynamic and driving rhythm, accompanied by The Edge's distinctive guitar sound.
