What is the name of this Irish singer-songwriter, musician, venture capitalist, businessman, and philanthropist, who wrote "Love Is Blindness" on the piano?
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.
Baby, You're a Rich Man "Baby, You're a Rich Man" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles. It was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and released as the B-side of the band's "All You Need Is Love" single in July 1967. The song was recorded and mixed at Olympic Sound Studios in London, making it the first of the Beatles' EMI recordings to be entirely created away from EMI Studios. The track features a monophonic keyboard instrument known as a clavioline, which Lennon played on its oboe setting, creating a sound that suggests an Indian shehnai. In its lyrical themes, the song addresses the "beautiful people" of the 1960s hippie movement and partly echoes the utopian message of "All You Need Is Love". The lyrics have also invited interpretation as a message to the Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein.
