It Was Twenty Years Ago...

6 Aug 200919

'New Year's Day' is the soundtrack to a new TV spot from The European Commission, celebrating the 20th anniversary of free elections in Poland this year.

The video takes place on the birthday of a Polish girl Marta who was born on the 4th of June 1989 - the date of the first elections in Poland after the fall of Communism. It documents key events and people in the recent history of Poland: the Solidarnosc movement with its leader Lech Walesa, Polish Round Table Talks, integration with NATO and the EU.

New Year's Day, the band's debut UK ten hit back in 1983, was inspired by Solidarnosc. You can find it on War.

Thanks to EUtube. (You can now only view this clip in certain countries.)

I can't believe it has been over 25 years since the day I first heard that wonderful song.But to this day,even after hearing it thousands of times it still brings an unexplainable tear to my eyes.I think it is the emotion in Bono's voice.

Very nice tribute to the Polish freedom movement. But why show President Clinton? President Ronald Reagan along with Pope John Paul and PM Thatcher made it all possible.,
