Man, who doesn’t have a strong opinion on U2? Whether you can jam to Joshua Tree shamelessly, or expressed a lot of upset Facebook posts when Songs Of Innocence entered your iTunes, U2 is a very fucking important band no matter how you cut it. They put out a new video today, “Song For Someone” off of Songs Of Innocence. It’s a black and white fare directed by Matt Mahurin, illustrating the rise and fall of a human, and the struggles we face. And it’s very, very pretty.

‘Don’t let it go out…’ Illustrator and photographer Matt Mahurin directs this visual meditation on ‘Song For Someone’, from U2’s latest album Songs of Innocence.
