Gwen Stefani and Alicia Keys cover U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday

This is a rare duet, nonetheless a rare cover from Alicia Keys and Gwen Stefani at the 2007 Keep a Child Alive Black Ball of U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday. And yes, I was lucky enough to actually be there to watch it live. While you're at it, go to http://www.keepachildalive.org and help them help millions.

I actually like this version too you know. Its not fair to compare them to U2. They just did it their way - lent their voices to a great song! Why can't everyone just be happy for that alone.

Most people don't even know what this song is about. Google Bloody Sunday fools, majority of ye love the song bu don't kno the meaning of the song & if ye knew what it was about it would make more sense

I hope the meaning and inspiration of the song hasn't been lost!!

the fact that this gets covered by every selfrespecting artist shows how bloody actual this song really still is. there s god and then we got U2 . thank s god :)

its not about derrys bloody sunday

dont talk about something if u know fuck all about it

[masseur10]

more about the effect that day had on the people of that country.

[masseur10]

The song is named after the Bloody Sunday incident in Derry where the unarmed protesters were gunned down. The lyrics are more about how people felt during those times and after that incident. So in a way it is about that day but does not tell details about that day, more about feelings that day had on the people of the country.

its inspired by. no u2 songs are about actual events. not one!

[Conall2007]

@callummcphail its about bloody sunday of derry

[callummcphail]

@thejonte1 inspired by, not about! that is all

[thejonte1]

@callummcphail Sunday Bloody Sunday is about what happened in Northern Ireland in 1972 when 14 unarmed men and boys were shot by British troops

R.I.P to the murdered ears of the audience. Poor fellows.
