The band members tell TIME how they came up with the release of Songs of Innocence. Bono doesnt view his songs as children - they’re more like parents. “They tell you what to do, they tell you how to behave,” the U2 singer told TIME. “These songs, we worked quite hard on them over the years, and we really didnt want—they really didnt want them to be ignored.” The best way to get the world’s attention? Give the album, for free, to all 500 million iTunes users. The unique release of their latest album, Songs of Innocence, was announced at Apple’s event on Sept. 9. In the video above, the members of U2 explain how the first album release of its kind came about. * (Part 2 of the interview: youtu.be/HU7Ut8lyVmQ) ~ Thomas
