Winter – An Illustrated Song
The one I picked for this installment of our illustrated songs reminded me of the Winchester brothers, again. There’s a deep sadness about it. But if you look closely, there is also light. And light is always a good subject to give home to in your soul, isn’t it? Enjoy.
Illustrated Song for Two Brothers
Are you a fan of U2? I am. Have been for years. I love their gutsy, authentic lyrics, their raw music, Bono’s voice – it’s made for the kind of themes we are dealing with in our favourite show.

Winter
By U2
The yellow sun, well it took the hand,
Of a country boy, to a city in a far off land.
We made no mark, no shadow at all,
On the ancient holy streets, where I learned to crawl.
Looking at the bruised,
The young and the used,
The sure and confused all here
Words will land on me, then abandon me,
Mangle, untangle me, leave me on the floor
Rhymes they sprang in me,
Summer sang in me,
But summer sings in me no more.
Now I’m 25, I’m trying to stay alive,
In a corner of the world, with no clear enemies to fight.
It’s hot as hell, we’re like butter on toast
But there’s no army in this world,
That can fight a ghost.
Looking at the bruised,
The young and the used,
The sure and confused all here
Words would land on me, then abandon me,
Leave me stranded, knocking on the door.
Rhymes began in me,
Summer sang in me,
But summer sings in me no more.
At 21, I was born a son,
And on that day I knew,
I could kill.
To protect the ones, who put bullets in guns,
Or anything it takes, to take a life.
a great job!!! one song that would work is black parade by my chemical romance…………
Hey, Leslie92708 and Deanswoman,
thank you!
CalifornianLeslie, here’s a link to youtube to the song. There is also another version to be found from the soundtrack of that brilliant movie ‘Brothers’. Hope you like:

Deanswoman, thanks for the tip. I’ll look into that!
Cheers Ladies, Jas
I’ve been in U2’s official fan club for 27yrs and I always squee when another fan declares their love for them 😀
‘Winter’ is a great song and the lyrics fit with the images perfectly 🙂
Love U2 and SPN. They are my two favorites!
Hey, AlisonH and Emkay, thank you for commenting! I am happy to have been able to provide a song by a band you both love :D.
Cheers, Jas
Hi Jasminka
I don’t know how you do it, but this song was very fitting.
I loved the choice of pictures as well.
Thanks again.
Hi Ya’ll… Been out of commission for a while. Pneumonia sucks by the way, but I am sure you know that already. But I am finally feeling a bit better and this is the first place I came when I turned my computer on after about 3 weeks. So I just had to do a video for this.
Jas, You are awesome. Thanks for your wonderful mind. I love that you share all this with us.
Hugs ~boobula

Hi Boobula
This is wonderful. Thanks for putting this together.
I’m so glad your feeling better. I’ve never had pneumonia but my mum has on serveral occasions an it wasn’t nice. Please take your time recovering.
Boobula, oh my! I am so late for this – thank you ever so much for this again beautiful vid. It’s moving and humbling that you felt inspired by what I did here… it’s like a warm blanket, really, and today is a really cold day!
Hugs, Jas
P.S: I am glad to hear you are feeling better. Being sick is ugly. I know, I kinda invented it 😉 (I get colds easily these days…)
Hey Karen, thanks for the well wishes, I am feeling much better, still get tired very easily, but I will get over that soon too, I hope. I am glad you liked the vid.
Jas, you are not late my dear. I just did the vid and posted it yesterday(Thursday 1/20). So sorry to hear you get colds so easily. I hardly ever get sick, so I guess when I do it I have to do it right. :-). It just makes me happy that you aren’t offended that I keep stealing your stuff! Chicken soup and a fuzzy blanket always make me feel better!
Hugs, boobula
