Numa
das suas músicas – Walk On – a banda faz referência à ativista de Myanmar Aung
San Suu Kyi, a terceira dos filhos de Aung San, herói do país e um dos líderes na proclamação
de sua independência, assassinado em 1948.
Ausente de Myanmar (na época chamada Birmânia), retorna em 1988 para cuidar
da mãe. Durante a eleição geral de
1990, a LND, partido liderado por Suu Kyi, obteve 59% dos votos em
todo o país, conquistando 81% dos assentos no parlamento - o que deveria fazer
dela a primeira-ministra da Birmânia. No entanto, pouco antes das eleições, ela
foi detida e colocada em prisão domiciliar, condição em que viveu por quase 15
anos.
Alguns meses antes deste show, Suu Kyi foi libertada pela Anistia
Internacional. Em 1° de abrilde 2012, foi eleitadeputada
pela Liga Nacional pela Democracia.
A música havia sido escrita 10 anos antes.

WALK ON
And love is not the easy
thing
The only baggage that you can bring...
And love is not the easy thing....
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on...
Stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
Walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
Can't sell it, or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Home... hard to know what it is if you've never had one
Home... I can't say where it is but I know I'm going home
That's where the hurt is
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind
The only baggage that you can bring...
And love is not the easy thing....
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on...
Stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
Walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
Can't sell it, or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Home... hard to know what it is if you've never had one
Home... I can't say where it is but I know I'm going home
That's where the hurt is
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind
