Obama Walks Out To What Song?

January 1, 2009 1:05 AM

I am trying to find out what music is that plays during the first 37 seconds of this YouTube video as Barack Obama walks out to address the convention in Denver and accept the Democratic nomination. I have found several places on the Internet that tell me what the music is at the end of his speech, but not this little instrumental part that can be heard clearly in the video linked above. As always, thanks in advance for your help!

My husband says it's U2 but he's not sure which song.

Ah, he found it. "City of Blinding Lights" by U2.

Ha, I knew that was it even before watching the video...along with "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" and "Think," it was one of THE Obama campaign songs.
