U2 frontman Bono collaborates with Norwegian DJ Kygo on The Best Thing – possible lyrics
Can you help find the missing lyrics to the Kygo/Bono collaboration called The Best Thing?
Author: Sandro Olivo
At the age of 12, Sandro Olivo heard U2's Angel of Harlem on radio station Triple M.
The lyric "An empty glass, the lady sings, eyes swollen like a bee sting" got his attention, and the more that U2 songs electrified the airwaves, the more he was hooked.
A high school friend made him a mixed cassette of Under a Blood Red Sky and Rattle and Hum songs, and so began and infatuation with the band.
This blog mainly deals with any U2 links to Australia, but is happy to step outside that boundary from time to time.

WE’VE lost some big ones in recent times. David Bowie, Prince, Lemmy Kilmister, and Glenn Frey – all of them dead in 2016.

U2 Triple M full interview – October 21, 1989
I still remember recording this interview on a cassette. The early hours of October 21, 1989, and I was worried I’d run out of tape, so pressed pause whenever a non-U2 song was played. The tape survived, but does skip in some parts, but you won’t miss much. As the title suggests, U2 were interviewed […]
