“Love Rescue Me” by U2
(Words/Music: U2 and Bob Dylan, Album: Rattle and Hum, Island 1988)

By the the time U2 achieved super rock star status with The Joshua Tree, they began cashing in. And to the fans, that cashing in didn’t look like fancy cars, huge mansions, and tons of wild parties. Instead, it looked like being able to collaborate with people they admired (and people that respected them) like B.B. King (on “Love Comes To Town”) and Bob Dylan on this song.

Many strangers have I met
On the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me
They ask me to reveal
The very thoughts they would conceal
Love rescue me
