U2 has released a surprise six-song EP called Days of Ash, its first collection of new songs in nearly a decade. The EP includes a tribute to Renée Good, a 33-year-old American mother of three who was shot and killed by ICE agents in January.
The track American Obituary is dedicated to Good. Bono sings, “Renée Good born to die free / American mother of three / Seventh day / January / A bullet for each child, you see.” The lyrics also ask, “To desecrate domestic bliss / Three bullets blast, three babies kissed / Renee the domestic terrorist? / What you can’t kill can’t die / America will rise / Against the people of the lie.”
