The opening track of U2’s new EP, Days of Ash, is a tribute to slain Minneapolis resident Renee Good, who was killed after obstructing an ICE operation and driving at a federal agent with her SUV. The track, titled “American Obituary,” highlights domestic unrest and takes issue with civilian deaths, echoing themes found in recent releases from stars such as Bruce Springsteen. The EP also touches on international concerns, honoring individuals killed in Iran and Gaza and drawing inspiration from figures in Israel and Ukraine.
