U2 - "SLEEP LIKE A BABY TONIGHT", from the 2014 album "SONGS OF INNOCENCE".
This video was made using MAGIX Movie Edit Pro MX Plus.
This song has a theme that is a bit more dark than the music might reveal. Bono explains in the Irish Times how the song is about how priests were sexually abusing young children: "Then I went a bit further and remembered all the violence meted out to women by their husbands, the beatings children experienced from their fathers and how, at that time particularly, priests were sexually abusing young children."
The song has some clear references to the hypocrisy of the Catholic church, in particular in Ireland in the 1970s: "Purple robes are folded on the kitchen chair". The line "tomorrow dawns like someone else's suicide" may be interpreted as the total apathy of this hypothetical priest towards his grey, as the damage he's causing to children and families are not part of his life.
I was raised in Catholic convents during the most tender times of my life. Catholic indoctrination was brutal, to say the least. The things that we were put through in those ghastly confessionals every Friday afternoon, were beyond what I would even talk about at this time in my life. Their whole agenda was fear, fear and more fear. The fear of God was nothing compared to what those priests put us through.
