I think a perfect example is U2's "one".
I love this song. it's so brilliant. when i listen to them perform it live, it sounds so uplifting and hopeful, so very optimistic about how we can be one. one planet, one life, all that stuff.
that song has been used for a variety of uplifting moments (world cup, One campaign to end poverty, etc etc), ironically, it was written about the bitterness of a relationship falling apart. people sing along all the time, but if you really look at the lyrics:
"We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt"
it's a break up song (as Bono puts it in his own words: 'It amazes me when people tell me they played it at their wedding or for comfort at a funeral. I go to myself, "Are you crazy? It's about breaking up." ' (Los Angeles Times, 8:th of August 2004)).
what i love is the story behind the song: it was written while U2 were going through tough times as a band, and it saved them from breaking up. They had spent some time discussing whether or not they had finally used up all of their creative energy and talent. Eventually, they decided that they probably had, and Bono went to the mic and began playing this song. The rest of the band began to play along, and they soon had a renewed faith in themselves. They completed the rest of the album (Achtung Baby) afterwards.
