"Yahweh" is a song by rock band U2 and the eleventh track on their 2004 album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.
Prior to the song's initial recording, the band's lead guitarist The Edge had the ideas for the music already planned.
[1] The original vocal take by Bono was so inspiring with "soaring and brilliant" melodies that it carried "Yahweh" in a dramatic new direction from what The Edge had previously envisioned.
The oldest Hebrew manuscripts present the name in the form of four consonants, commonly called the Tetragrammaton (from Greek te·tra-, meaning "four", and gram′ma, "letter").
Although, it is often believed that the name does not appear in the New Testament, the oldest fragments of the Greek Septuagint[clarification needed] do contain the divine name in its Hebrew form.
"[6] Reviewer Justin Cober-Lake of PopMatters did not like the song saying "It's a shame that How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb has to end with the dud of "Yahweh", because it's actually a quite good album.
