The Irish rock band released the six-song EP "U2 - Days of Ash" on Wednesday. Its first track, "American Obituary," is dedicated to Good, who died Jan. 7 in Minneapolis during an encounter with a Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. The song is a call for peace and a dedication to Good's life.

"Renee didn't just believe in kindness; she lived it, fully and fiercely," said Becca Good, her partner, in a statement released with the project. "She believed every person deserved the same compassion, care and dignity regardless of who they were."
