U2’s Songs of Innocence: Track 3 — California (There Is No End to Love)

The Garden Tarts continue their Songs of Innocence track-by-track playlist with “California (There Is No End to Love,) a bright, sun-soaked song that feels like U2 stepping into the light for the first time. In this episode, they talk about the band’s first trip to California, the Beach Boys influence, and why this track sounds like pure wide-open air. They also dig into the song’s meaning, the “blood orange sunsets” lyric, the recurring idea of grief and love, and why this song feels both joyful and surprisingly emotional. It’s the kind of track that sounds simple at first, but keeps opening up the more you listen. Follow along with The Garden Tarts as they go song by song through U2’s Songs of Innocence.
