After teasing it on social media earlier in the week, U2 has released the full-length “Your Song Saved My Life,” an original song the group and recorded for “Sing 2,” an animated musical set to hit theaters Dec. 22.

Although the new song doesn’t represent any vast jump in genre, U2 fans will recognize it as a departure from the group’s usual style, starting off with a gospel-pop style piano and elevating into orchestral accompaniment before wrapping up with a falsetto chorus and not many guitars in sight.

Several U2 catalog songs, including “Joshua Tree” favorites and “Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of,” also appear in the movie, which has Bono taking on a lead voice role for the first time, envisioned as a lion. His character, Clay Calloway, is a legendary rock star who’s lived in seclusion since a tragedy 15 years earlier, and is now being coaxed out of retirement by the fledgling cast of a stage musical being mounted in a Las Vegas-like — but, of course, strictly animal-inhabited — resort city.

The song occurs briefly during the movie as actor/fans try to persuade the reluctant Calloway that his music has, in fact, saved lives, then plays out in full leading into and during the end credits.

Your song saved my life / I don’t sing it just so i can get by,” goes the chorus. “Won’t you hear me when i tell you darling /I sing it to survive.” Among the pensive lyrics of the verses leading into the uplifting refrain: “Are you a stranger in your own life / What are you hiding behind those eyes / There’s no one looking for you there.” The song’s yearning is emphasized in the line: “You’re looking for a miracle, the kind that science can’t explain.”

The song is expected to be put into contention for Oscar consideration. If it did get a nomination, it would be the third time at bat for Bono and the band. They’ve been up twice: in 2003 with “The Hands That Built America” from “Gangs of New York,” and in 2014 for “Ordinary Love” form the documentary “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.”

Fellow musicians Pharrell Williams, Halsey and Tori Kelly have roles in the Universal release, along with Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton and Bobby Cannavale.

The Republic Records soundtrack was also announced Thursday, with a release date just before the film comes out, on Dec. 17. A full track list:

Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview near the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona on Thursday, claiming “we’re in danger” in light of how authorities in that state have been unable to find a man who threatened to kill him.

NewsNation reporter Ali Bradley, citing “the situation” in southern Arizona, couldn’t get her full question out before Trump cut things short.

“Can I tell you something,” he said. “We’re in danger standing here talking, so let’s not talk any longer. No, I know about it, but they don’t want me standing here. They don’t want you standing here either.”

Trump then got into his vehicle surrounded by Secret Service agents.

The majority of Bradley’s interview concerned Trump’s relationship with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who will reportedly drop out of the race and endorse the former president. Kennedy also seems to be seeking the promise of a Cabinet position if Trump were to be elected.

In the brief interview, Trump claimed he and Kennedy “haven’t talked about that yet,” but didn’t rule it out.

“We’ll see. I have a lot of respect for him, and I think he’s a lot of respect for me. I just heard this as news flashes, and you know, we’ve had a good relationship for a long period of time. If he endorses, that would be an honor for me,” Trump said.

“I have good respect for him. Smart guy. A little different, but very smart. And we will take his endorsement.”

Kennedy and Trump are both scheduled to hold campaign events in Arizona on Friday, about 30 minutes apart.

When asked if they would meet up on the same stage, Trump didn’t reveal much at all.

“We’ll see what happens,” he said.

Donald Trump ranted for five minutes straight after Tim Walz criticized the Republican nominee during his DNC speech.

Walz accepted the vice presidential nomination on the third night of the DNC and gave a powerful speech, in which he mentioned Trump’s ties to Project 2025 — claims that set off Trump into a lengthy, rage-filled ramble on Fox & Friends hours later.

One of the show’s hosts asked Trump about the “many different lies” that Walz and the Democrats were spreading at the convention in Chicago. The former president was asked to react to Walz’s claims that Trump and his running mate JD Vance were tied to the Project 2025 “playbook.”

The Minnesota Governor told the crowd on Wednesday: “Their Project 2025 will make things much, much harder for people who are just trying to live their lives. They spent a lot of time pretending they know nothing about this.”

“But look, I coached high school football long enough to know and trust me on this, when somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it,” Walz continued.

Last month, Trump posted on Truth Social that he knew “nothing about” the right-wing blueprint for a second Trump administration — that would expand the president’s executive authority and replace civil servants with Trump loyalists. However, flying in the face of Trump’s denial, Vance recently praised the leader of Project 2025 in a foreword for the leader’s upcoming book.

In response to Walz’s remarks, Trump spoke for five minutes straight. He repeatedly called Walz a “total lightweight,” alleged that he wasn’t a real coach but a “semi coach,” and labeled Walz’s claims about Project 2025 “disgraceful.”

“They know I have nothing to do with it. I had no idea what it was. A group of people got together. They drew up some conservative values, very conservative values, and in some case, perhaps they went over the line. Perhaps they didn’t. I have no idea what Project 25 is, but they use it and they know it,” the former president said.

Seemingly not taking a breath between sentences, Trump then equated the claims about Project 2025 to Charlottesville, where neo-Nazis and white supremacists held a rally after a Robert E Lee statue was taken down. At the time Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides.” On Fox & Friends, the former president said: “Just like Charlottesville, totally discredited.”

From there, he appeared to lose the plot.

Trump then talked about Biden supposedly being ousted from his 2024 campaign by a “coup” within his own party, and then ultimately pivoted to bashing Kamala Harris.
