Bono<\/a> took to U2<\/a>\u2019s official Instagram channel to post a piano ballad he wrote Tuesday for the people of Italy.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the Italians who inspired it,\u201d he wrote, \u201cfor the Irish\u2026 for ANYONE who this St. Patrick\u2019s day is in a tight spot and still singing. For the doctors, nurses, carers on the frontline, it\u2019s you we\u2019re singing to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA little postcard from Dublin,\u201d he said before playing the piano ballad from his home in Ireland. \u201cOn this St. Patrick\u2019s Day, a little tune made up here about an hour ago. I think it\u2019s called \u2018Let Your Love Be Known.’\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI walk through the streets of Dublin and no one was near,\u201d Bono sings. \u201cYes, I don\u2019t know you\/No I didn\u2019t think I didn\u2019t care\/You live so very far away\/Just across the square\/You can\u2019t touch, but you can sing across rooftops\/Sing on the phone\/Sing and promise me you won\u2019t stop\/Sing your love be known.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new song\u2019s lyrics were inspired by the Italians who have been joining their voices in song through open windows during their nationwide lockdown due to the coronavirus<\/a>. Over 2,500 Italians<\/a> have died from the virus in recent weeks and the numbers continue to climb at an alarming rate despite the extreme measures the country has taken.<\/p>\n

U2 have been on hiatus since the Joshua Tree 2019<\/em> tour ended with the band\u2019s first-ever concert in India on December 15th, 2019. Their last album was 2018\u2019s Songs of Experience. <\/em><\/p>\n
