U2 – Street of Dreams | Song Meaning Explained
Street of Dreams is U2’s first single from their first full album of new songs since 2017. They filmed it in Mexico City on a painted school bus. A storm killed the generator. A family pulled them onto a balcony.
This episode explains what the street actually is — and why the song calls the broken people chosen.
