Elis Regina and Antônio Carlos Jobim recording "Águas de Março" at MGM Studios in Los Angeles, 1974.

One of the most beautiful and iconic duets ever committed to tape, from one of the most legendary collaborations in Brasilian music.

FRED ARMISEN gives a brilliant impression of Diana Ross’ drummer performing the intro of “I’m Coming Out” like it’s the first time he’s ever heard it.

‘Scars’, is a song of encouragement and acceptance; scars and all, with a twist. Scars are helpful, mistakes are helpful - if they can be owned. That's the key. When they're hidden or denied, that's bad news. That's the root of narcissism, not self love but fake perfection.

A note to U2’s audience from Bono:

"We are in the studio, still working towards a noisy, messy, 'unreasonably colour xerox’ album to play LIVE… which is where U2 lives. We still look to vivid rock n roll as an act of resistance against all this awfulness on our small screens. These are for sure ‘wilderness years’ for so many of us looking at the mayhem out there in the world. It’s a time that has our band digging deeper into our lives to find a wellspring of songs to try to meet the moment…

With Easter Lily we ended up asking very personal questions like: Are our own relationships up to these challenging times? How hard do you fight for friendship? Can our faith survive the mangling of meaning that those algorithms love to reward? Is all religion rubbish and still ripping us apart…? Or are there answers to find in its crevices? Are there ceremonies, rituals, dances that we might be missing in our lives? From the rite of Spring to Easter and its promise of rebirth and renewal… Patti Smith’s album Easter gave me so much hope when it was released in 1978. I wasn’t yet 18. The title is a nod to her.

We will attempt hoopla and fanfare at a later date to remind the rest of the world we exist but in the meantime… this is between you and us."

@timneufeld @U2 Yeah, saw that. probably didn’t tweet the videos in the right order, took them down and then back up with the full info. Maybe their community manager was as excited for it as we are for the new music! Enjoy listening to the EP

On this Good Friday, here’s Easter Lily EP. A much more reflective set of songs emerging from a more personal, private place that some may retreat to in such times – exploring themes of friendship, loss, hope, and ultimately, renewal. Easter Lily EP arrives six weeks after Days of Ash EP, which marked the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday Easter Lily EP available now. https://t.co/OB3mVe69vu
