October (song)
"October" is the seventh and title track from U2's 1981 album, ''October (U2 album), October''. It is a departure from U2's classic sound, as it is a quiet, almost instrumental piece. It was included as a hidden track on ''The Best of 1980–1990'' compilation. It is the only track from ''October'' included in the compilation. Lyrics and music "October" reflects the spiritual turmoil of the band at the time it was written, during which three of the band's members were wrestling with whether being members of a rock band was consistent with their Christian beliefs. Lead singer Bono has said of "October": :"'October'...it's an image. We've been through the 60s, a time when things were in full bloom. We had fridges and cars, we sent people to the moon and everyone thought how great mankind was. And now, as we go through the 70s and 80s, it's a colder time of the year. It's after the harvest. Trees are stripped bare. You can see things and we finally realize that maybe we aren't ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
October (EP)
''October'' (also called ''My Final Autumn'') is a 2003 EP released by The Funeral Pyre. It was shortly before this album was recorded and released that the band decided to change its name from 'Envilent' to 'The Funeral Pyre'. Though only a few reviews were made, it was praised for its work, despite being mostly a demo. Although it was said that "there is not much here that can make it stand apart," many said its piano intro and Spanish guitar outro were a very good build on the album. It was also said that it was recorded in only two days. Only two of the songs from this album, "A Gradual Awakening" and "Isengard Unleashed", were available for download from the band's then official site. All the songs on this EP were re-recorded for their first full-length release, ''Immersed by the Flames of Mankind''.

October (U2 Album)
''October'' is the second studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was released on 12 October 1981 by Island Records, and was produced by Steve Lillywhite. The album was lyrically inspired by the memberships of Bono, the Edge, and Larry Mullen Jr. in a Christian group called the Shalom Fellowship, and consequently it contains spiritual and religious themes. Their involvement with Shalom Fellowship led them to question the relationship between the Christian faith and the "rock and roll" lifestyle, and threatened to break up the band. After completing the third leg of the Boy Tour in February 1981, U2 began to write new material for ''October'', entering the recording studio in July 1981. Just as they did for their 1980 debut, ''Boy'', the band recorded at Windmill Lane Studios with Lillywhite producing. The recording sessions were complicated by Bono's loss of a briefcase containing in-progress lyrics for the new songs, forcing a hurried, improvisational approach to completing t ...
