Last Sunday night (12) the Irish band U2 took the coveted Golden Globe for Best Original Song for the song 'Ordinary Love', included in the soundtrack of the biopic 'Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom'. With this award, the Irish achieve this award for the second time, after obtaining it in 2003 for the single 'The Hands That Build America', a theme included in the soundtrack of 'Gangs of New York'.
Extremely excited, Bond, upon receiving the award during the ceremony, stated: “Mandela was a man who refused to hate, because he thought that love could do a better job. We wrote a love song because it is the most extraordinary thing in the movie ». Edge also dedicated a few words remembering the recently deceased South African leader and expressed in his speech: “We have worked for Mandela since the 70s, since we were teenagers, when we gave our first concert against Apartheid. It has taken us thirty-five years to compose this song. ".
'Ordinary Love' won the Golden Globe, beating other productions such as Coldplay's 'Atlas' (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire); 'Please Mr Kennedy', by Justin Timberlake, Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis); 'Sweeter Than Fiction', by Taylor Swift (One Chance), and 'Let It Go', by Idina Menzel (Frozen). 'Mandela: long walk to freedom' will premiere in Spain on January 17.
