U2 discuss the making of The Joshua Tree, an album that refined their experimental sound into a more focused and powerful style. The band explain the meaning behind the album’s title, inspired by the Joshua Tree in California, and reflect on songs such as “With or Without You,” “Where the Streets Have No Name,” and “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.” The interview explores the album’s themes of love, faith, identity, and social change, with U2 describing their aim to create music that was both personal and meaningful while reaching a wide audience. Ultimately, The Joshua Tree presents as an ambitious and deeply personal record — one that blends emotional honesty, social awareness, and spiritual searching while establishing U2 as one of the world’s most important bands.
