#U2 A DAY WITHOUT ME BACKING VOCALS SERIES#
An inveterate hard worker, Hunter took the lockdown as a creative opportunity, writing a series of new songs which he tracked in his Connecticut basement alongside his longtime collaborator, guitarist/producer/multi-instrumentalist Andy York. The album first came together in early 2020 with the dawn of the pandemic era. Now, with DEFIANCE PART 1, the legendary singer-songwriter, author, and rock ‘n’ roll star takes creative solidarity to an unprecedented new level with spectacular accompaniment from a truly awe-inspiring roster of special guests, famous fans, and lifelong friends.

Every once in a while, I experience "A Day Without Me", a day when God just seems to carry me and the next right thing to do just seems so natural.
Then moving on without the "me", without the constant focus on "self". Crying because you wasted so much time worrying about yourself and laughing because you realize how silly it all was.
And looking back at yourself and both laughing and crying at the world you left behind. It's about getting out of yourself, then focusing on God's will and serving others. The "landslide in my ego", to me anyway, signifies a crumbling of the value we put on ourselves, the self-absorbancy that our society promotes and most of us fall victim to. General CommentI don't think of this song as a suicide song at all.
