Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell.
A time for different colours
Different names you find hard to spell..
Another video special for subscribers, Miss Sarajevo, captured live in Anaheim and featuring a remarkable new animation by Run Wrake.
The idea of using childrens drawings came from Bono, who remembered an exhibition he'd seen of children's pictures in Mostar. Images of princesses and beauty queens seque into drawings from warzone, the matter-of-fact childrens illustration style complementing the theme of the song.
Painful beauty. I was at the June 18th concert, and the animation took me away for a moment. It reminded me of a time at Shannon airport during the Kosovo conflict, when I encountered a group of refugee children being taken to safety in another country. Their kids' expressionless faces and muted mannerisms conveyed that they had been through the violence hinted in this animation.
Peace be with them, and you too (and U2).
