NUMB

Give cheer Give a Cheer
Favorite

I made this for a doodle challenge, and it really DID challenge me. I had been wanting to do a U2 LO anyway (my favorite band in the world) and the doodle challenge had me thinking about one of their coolest songs, "Numb."

In the video, Edge is sitting in front of the camera, facing and mesmerized by what appears to be a flickering tv screen. All manner of weird things are done to him, all kinds of sensory input, yet he just keeps on singing in that low monotone with that ripping, tearing guitar in the background... and an inexorable beat. He feels numb... too much is not enough.

With this LO, I wanted to capture images from the vid, the ZOOROPA tour, and use the words of the song to capture the humongous overload, that overwhelming input today that just keeps us wanting more and more... too much is not enough. So much input it's hard to focus. But when you do focus on this LO, there are words to pay attention to.

I think we all, sometimes, feel NUMB.

(This is the best stitching I could do -- those words just didn't want to stitch/composite well.)
