Love Is Blindness "Love Is Blindness" is a song by rock band U2, and the twelfth and final track on their 1991 album "Achtung Baby". The song was written on piano by lead singer Bono during the recording sessions for U2's 1988 album "Rattle and Hum". Originally intending to give the song to singer Nina Simone, the band decided to keep it for "Achtung Baby" after playing it together. Thematically, the song describes a failing romance, mixing personal themes with imagery of metaphorical acts of terrorism. During the recording sessions for "Achtung Baby", guitarist the Edge separated from his wife, Aislinn O'Sullivan. The separation had a major effect on the development of the song; Bono said that the ending guitar solo was a cathartic experience for the Edge, as he snapped several guitar strings during the recording.

Achtung Baby Achtung Baby ( ) is the seventh studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and was released on 18 November 1991 on Island Records. Stung by criticism of their 1988 release, "Rattle and Hum", U2 shifted their musical direction to incorporate influences from alternative rock, industrial music, and electronic dance music into their sound. Thematically, "Achtung Baby" is darker, more introspective, and at times more flippant than their previous work. The album and the subsequent multimedia-intensive Zoo TV Tour were central to the group's 1990s reinvention, by which they abandoned their earnest public image for a more lighthearted and self-deprecating one.

War Tour The War Tour was a concert tour by the Irish rock band U2, which took place in 1982 and 1983 in support of the group's third album "War". The tour took place in Western Europe, the United States, and Japan, with new material from "War" taking an increasing role as the tour progressed. Venues were mostly halls, but some arenas were introduced later on. U2's performances were very well received both critically and commercially, especially in the United States where U2 broke through to become a major act. Scenes of lead singer Bono waving a white flag during the song "Sunday Bloody Sunday" became an emblematic image of this phase of U2's career. It was their first tour as full-time headlining act and their first to be profitable.
