歌曲簡介

此歌是為卡特里娜颶風之後的紐奧良籌集善款而作。

U2和Green Day樂隊兩大搖滾天團將破天荒的一起合作演出，屆時他們將在紐奧良市的路易斯安那巨蛋體育場上掀起一股搖滾風暴，奉獻一台具有歷史性意義的演出。

自從美國紐奧良去年受颶風卡特里娜襲擊後，當地的路易斯安那巨蛋體育場遭受了嚴重的破壞，此次兩大搖滾樂團攜手，希望能夠藉助自己樂團的號召力讓更多人知道災民仍然需要援助，從而可以為災民做一些貢獻。當晚，U2和Green Day將在重建後重新啟用的橄欖球會場舉行的橄欖球比賽前做暖場演出，他們演出的歌曲《The Saints Are Coming》還將錄成唱片籌款。

這首歌翻唱自The Skids - The Saints Are Coming

此外 The Saints Are Coming曲調與曾被多次翻唱的經典名曲The House Of The Rising Sun相似，開頭部分的歌詞相同
