Ali Hewson
Songs written by Bono that were at least in part inspired by Ali go back to the earliest period of the band's recording career, with the track "Another Time, Another Place" off their 1980 first album, Boy.  She helped Bono get through a bad period of writer's block during the lead-up to the 1983 War album and especially in the lyric composition for "Sunday Bloody Sunday".  She was the inspiration for the personal themes of "New Year's Day" on that record as well.  The album and the accompanying War Tour brought financial success to the band, and Bono and Ali moved into a three-level, three-room Martello tower in Bray for some years.  The group's 1984 song "Promenade" reflects both that location and the spiritual aspects of his desire for her.
