It must be good being Bono. He's one of the biggest superstars in the history of music, the owner of vast wealth and riches and has world leaders scattered through the speed dial option of his phone waiting to take his call at a moment's notice. Well, the Killiney native has another reason to celebrate this morning after U2's song 'Ordinary Love' scooped up the Golden Globe for Best Original Song at last night's Golden Globes in California - the first song that the band have recorded in more than three years.
'Ordinary Love' was part of the soundtrack to the Nelson Mandela biopic Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom, a story close to Bono's heart.
Bono was quoted as saying of Mandela last month upon news of his passing: "This man turned our life upside down, right-side up. [He was] a man who refused to hate not because he didn't have rage or anger or those things, but that he thought love would do a better job."
The Danger Mouse produced track beat Coldplay's 'Atlas' from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, 'Let It Go' from Frozen, 'Please Mr Kennedy' from Inside Llewyn Davis and 'Sweet Than Fiction' by Taylor Swift from the movie One Chance.
Stay strong Taylor, you'll have your chance one day...
