Lyrics:
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight.
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by the moon
Y' know I don't see you when she walks in the room.
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help.
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else.
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you, child.
Voice 1 Voice 2
A man will beg Love, we shine like a
A man will crawl Burning star
On the sheer face of love We're falling from
Like a fly on a wall The sky... tonight
It's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest.
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success.
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief;
All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief.
Voice 1 Voice 2
A man will rise Love, we shine like a
A man will fall Burning star
From the sheer face of love We're falling from
like a fly from a wall. The sky... tonight
It's no secret at all.
Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky tonight
Voice 1 Voice 2
A man will rise Love, we shine like a
A man will fall Burning star
From the sheer face of love We're falling from
like a fly from a wall. The sky... tonight
It's no secret at all.
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploding 'cos-a one man's lie.
Look I gotta go, yeah, I'm running outta change;
There's a lot of things if I could I'd rearrange.
Achtung Baby was, is, and still remains U2’s best work, and their subsequent Zoo TV tour is arguably the best tour any band ever embarked on.
agreed, pop mart tour come as close second, but the zoo tv tour with his personas, reference to 90's pop culture and the cold calls to the power that be (of the times)was the cherry on top that will never be replicated
Not arrfff ❤
...30 years ago . It sounds ahead of its time in 2021. Masterpiece.
Yes. 1973 also
Yes sir , very much agree.
💯💯
Ahead of its time in 2022
agree; sounds like today;
One year prior to this single, U2 hinted at their new direction when their cover of Cole Poter's "Night + Day" was released (from the AIDS benefit compilation album "Red, Hot and Blue"). Watch the video and listen to the song: it's a fascinating collision of post-Rattle And Hum era U2 set to a pre-Achtung Baby sonic landscape. When welding-goggle wearing Bono appeared I was personally blindsided by how much fun they seemed to be finally having. Gone were the poe-faced, waist coat and Stetson-wearing Irish dudes homaging American music. Replaced by a slick, Euro-clad, version of the band that embraced exotic sounds of the alternative industrial scene while heralding the electronic soundscape to come.
I was waiting that too, but it seems that they skip it.
Very insightful - I 100% agree
God Part II on Rattle & Hum was the precursor to Night & Day/Achtung Baby reinvention imho
Bono said Achtung Baby went in God Part II's direction just before the album was released.
Agree, great song
For me, this album stands head and shoulders above all others. Never gets old no matter how many times I have listened to it.
Like a fly on the wall ..its no secret at all
Timeless
Along with TJT, I'd say. I hv both. 🙂
Album of my life. Every single track.
@@רניברבוןevery track is it's own animal, and something we had never really heard before. I remember the first time I heard the fly it blew my mind. I was never a U2 fan before that and I remember feeling so conflicted because they seemed annoying to a young teen me until that moment. Brilliant album and no mystery why it sold 18 million copies
I can still smell the perfume of the pages of the book that comes with the CD
Edge's solo is electrifying !!
Beyond!!!!! No Words
best guitar solo ever. goosebumps.
Always thought that - glad I am not alone.
Good-looking guy too. I'm jealous.
2 minutes of bliss!
Early 1991. Nothing matches the power of their music. At that time, 80's and 90's , they were the BEST.
That part at 2:06, the Edge clearly did that on purpose. Tensions were definitely high. Hahaha.
Massive hit and massive album! Perhaps one of the most defining albums of the 90’s! And more relevant than ever! Keep this in your mind: Everything You Know Is Wrong!!!!
Best U2 song?
Hell yeah
U2 and B. Eno/D. Lanois pure masterpiece. Post-comunist horror in Berlin.
Unworldly music.
Fucking futuristic.
33 yrs later , still ahead of its time.
I remember first listening to this album and saying "oooh, U2. What the hell are you doing...".... 2 days later it was my favorite album of all time.
The song that knocked that Bryan Adams song from the top of the UK charts after about 6 years
Six years 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@christopheranderson1968 felt longer 🤣
i remember and i cheered
@@pault6599 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I remember. Unfortunately, I was one of the ones that helped keep it at No. 1. I apologise to all 🤣🤣
@@christopheranderson1968 I probably did also 🤣
I love the harmonics Edge incorporates into this guitar solo. Such a unique awesome sound.
such an exciting time to be alive. looking back, the 90s was as transformative as the 60s. Multimedia, digital media and WWW! U2 were there with ZOOTV and later POPMART..watching them in th 90s..you felt like anything was possible
The moment at about 3:30 and following, where the Edge's guitar and Bono's voice merge so as to become almost indistinguishable, has always given me goosebumps. I have never heard anything else like it and for me it is a highlight not only of their entire body of work, but of anything I've ever heard.
Like siouxsie with the banshees during “kiss them for me.”
Paul Wright- good call
100% agree.
Omg yes. That moment is perfect. The music and the part of the video.
Me too - and it gets me choked up too
Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky... never get tired of this song .. the best u2 album ever..
Bono's best lyrics, rock blended with dance rhythms and blasts of metal and gospel, and a solo that takes you on a journey across the universe. What's not to like?
And rock attitude and look and a video still full of hidden sense moreover during these troubled times
The sound on this song and the album is extraordinary. To go from Rattle and Hum to Achtung Baby is something spectacular that no other band could achieve successfully. Forever appreciative of experimental U2
Might have said it before but…. The harmonies, guitar, bass n drums - it’s no secret 1991 what a year x
This song is awesome and it's because of the guy playing lead Guitar. Brilliant
When this song came out (before the album) it BLEW MY MIND! Edge.......what a guitar solo. 30+ years later and it still gives me chills.
I was searching "Spanish Fly" and this popped up...not bad...not bad at all U2!
NOBODY WAS COOLER THAN U2 IN 91. absolutely stunning music. And they looked great! So much fun!
In a documentary about The Pixies, Bono said they weren’t cool in the way The Pixies were. Still, AB is a great album
WE NEED SOMETHING FOR THE 30 YEARS OF ACHTUNG BABY LET'S GO
My at-the-time best friend and I used take long, pointless drives every weekend just to listen to this album without anyone bothering us. But I did not remember this video being *quite* this sexy. (Too soon old; too late smart.)
The Fly is the song (i really love the live's version !!) i listen the most. For this album and for all the U2 album and i'm a fan since 1983 and the war album ...
U2 music is a genre all on its own and they are the masters of reinvention and the greatest Rock band ever period
The Edge's guitar should become World Heritage Site, let's sanctify it
And his amazing echo pedal board
Sounds LETHAL on this audio mix. Holy fuck.
That solo rival's Jimi's All Along the Watchtower, maybe betters it. A+
He was called the man with thousand guitars when they toured the US in the 80s
@@marvinm.messier1120 Good lord. I've heard some claims but that's up there with the best.
best song ever
After so many years, it still sounds so fresh. Amazing song, amazing album. ♥️
The Edge......los riff y el solo que se manda. Te hacen volar la cabeza....uauu
When I first heard the song and saw this video I thought it was preposterous. Being used to and expecting the ‘80’s U2 sound I was in shock. After the album came out the cassette (!) was on continuous repeat from the moment I bought it. Now, more than 30 years later, it still feels as if I’ve been listening to it for a week only.
All U2 songs are amazing
My favourite song on Achtung Baby album. Love the early 90’s 😍
Cool mais tu as quel âge pour apprécier se groupe tu as l’air très jeune 🧒
@@MrJeumf Eh bien, j’ai 18 ans et j’aime U2 depuis que j’ai 13 ans.
@@youtou_13 Génial de voir des jeunes comme toi apprécier se groupe personnellement j’ai vu la tournée zooropa tour à Nantes , Marseille , et Paris et ma première tournée c’est The Joshua tour en 87 à l’hippodrome de Vincennes 😀
It's not secret... that this album is one of the best.
para mi es La mejor Creativa y ruda!!! zoo
It’s when I stopped listening to them. Terrible
47 likes, funny joke 😢😂
Their best song, IMO
and best of all ended Bryan Adam’s monstrosity of a song after 16 undeserved weeks.
Can't imagine being a big u2 fan in the 80s and then listening to this for the first time. All their fans must of been shitting bricks. Brilliant album
When re-invention is a matter of survival... you get rock music like this song.
Hi I Recommend a Song called 'Looking Into The Mirror by Robert Nix
I liked the extreme change from Rattle & hum to Achtung Baby!
Their best song.
Magical!!!
One of my favorite songs of all time. Guitar, singing, bass, drums all were really excellent and so well together
Happy Birthday Bono and Thank You 🙏💝🌺🎴
U2 music is timeless
I don't think anyone can fully understand how radical and revolutionary this album was in 1991. When I first heard the opening riffs of "The Fly" on the radio, I was like thinking......is this "f"ing U2????? You can dislike Bono all you want, but admit, his Fly persona was pure genius
It feels much more radical and revolutionary now. But nobody is listening.
Bono is one of the greats. That's just a fact. To say otherwise is just the expression of envy and resentment
I think the album is really good but revolutionary it is not. I mean the dance elements are straight Up Happy Mondays rips per the Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches album.
It was pure fun!
Exactly. The opening riff from this is so satisfying and shows a group so much more mature than Rattle and Hum, willing to explore new paths but always influenced by the giants before them... Bowie, Zeppelin ( Edge's pants pay homage to Page's dragon suit here) are stronger influences than ever on this one. Colossal album, cannot be topped
To think that the making of this album almost broke U2 up.
BONO was my HERO and my role model in my teenager time!
This version is even better ❤️❤️❤️
One of the greatest guitar riffs ever👍
Been a U2 fan since 2001, seeing this music video for the first time ever and I already know it's my favourite one from them. Just fcking awesome. Their best era.
Top 5 greatest ever records. Achtung Baby is outstandingly unique. Just pure magic
Saw them in cork city with my Irish cuzns.... August 93 I think...lots n lots of MURPHYS STOUT...incredible show...
easily the most exotic band that ever existed
The sound of the edge is universal, his voice as second vocals is impressive as Frusciante
Achtung baby oh my godness maybe the Best album
I dont think anyone understand...revolution like the Beatles masterpieces
Absolutely amazing guitar there! You can't write that. You have to feel it!
I've listened to all their albums in my time, and this is with out doubt , the best, not taking anything away from the other albums , but this is unique, every track.
I have this on a cassette 😏
i had this on cassette, i've spend hours and hours untangling the tape out of my cheap walkman. It hates CrO2 tapes and tries to destroy them on every second play, but this tape lasts ( :
This song is the reason I play guitar. Totally connected to it.
really? dang, but how-loud-can-ya-play, right?
there's unfortunately, only one-billy-idol~
@@tinfoilhatter sorry I didn’t get that. Great sound on the end of this solo.
@@idoengel145 i love loud, not sure what i was tryin' to say, or ask, ha ha... it looks like a rhetorical question: like, how much cooler could a song be, right?
La virtud de un grupo en convertirse en leyenda es su capacidad para reinventarse y no permanecer ciega y orgullosamente en el molde. Felicitaciones U2 lo han logrado siempre.
Achtung Baby é un album memorabile ho sempre sperato che ne sarebbe arrivato un altro all'altezza negli anni a seguire.... Ma non era un compito semplice. MITICI SEMPRE
The funky dancey U2!
Yes? The Fly. Yes? The Fly. Yes? The Fly. Yes?
The Fly is the best U2 song…
(Close seconds are Mysterious Ways and Lemon.)
Why they didn't include this total genius track on their best of 1990 to 2000 collection is bloody ridiculous.
Le génie de U2 s'est éteint après cet album.
U2. At the height of their powers. And predicting the future.
Achtung Baby foi o disco que revolucionou a minha geração. Hoje me sinto muito mais leve quando escuto músicas com "One " "The Fly " "Wild Hoses " . Achtung Baby é uma grande obra prima do Rockinroll ❤
Exato mano, esse disco é memorável
Perfeito. Quando saiu o album, eu era garoto e um colega meu de turma foi categórico: O U2 é banda do futuro.
Love this song... The drums aré amazing!!!!! U2 for live....
Bono’s glasses look like the eyes of flys. Great song as always by U2
I remember it like yesterday, buying The Fly vinyl single after school and rushing home to play it... I didn't quite grasp it then cause it was so different but i ws grinning inside, cause the boys were back!
02:50 Great guitar solo!
"The Fly" is my favourite song and video of the 90's. #AchtungBaby1991
"Love will shine like a burning star falling from the sky..."👁🔺️🦉
The greatest band on Earth!
Best album of the 90s
the Edge is a master in guitar effects and it s minimalist harmonies
Such an epic song from an epic group!
The Edge :❤
OMG! I just realized in 2:41 you can hear Bono say "Achtung Baby"!
You're right! First time I heard it, thanks!
Don't hear it
@@Luziemagick pay attention it sound really soft and he does it with his "fly low key" voice, try to use headphones it will help 😎
@@paolomazzilli thanks, buddy!
was it on the original mix?
My Mom loved U2 and this song too.
of course. & she saw them in concert numerous times in the 90's. Now I'm a fan too. (90's kid here) I'm listening in her memory. She unfortunately passed away in February. 💗
This IS MUSIC!
Que recuerdos!!!! 1991!!!!! Achtung Baby y el ZOOTV!!!! Junto al inigualable y mágico concierto de Julio de 1987 en el Santiago Bernabéu lo más espectacular de U2 que he tenido la suerte de ver!!!!
Still one of my favorite songs 😍 never getting old
Achtung baby my fav album of all time
1991,I was 21 when I bought this Album, never looked back, perfect!
Ther best album fucking unreal 😎
Each u2 song I could tell you if I was happy at the time
Masterpiece, from a masterpiece album
Funny how nobody seems to recognise Bono milling around Picadilly Circus....guess nobody had yet seen the new Achtung Bono at the time of filming it
Apparently some fans started to recognise him when he was sat by the Eros statue.
It is the first appearance of The Fly in public haha
It’s not him, same guy the used in the ‘Even better than he real thing’ video ?
@@jimijojimie6321 It is him
@@Standard_Jay it’s not him
Esto es total y absoluto caviar musical ! 👏👏👏👏👏 unos de los mejores temas del siglo XX
I got this tape when I was on the fifth grade, it's kinda strange to listen to it now and think that so many years have passed..
ACHTUNG BABY U2
Just watched the sphere concert and this song made me wish i was there
This song screams of mani energy, crying out for its better use. Few people know this whole album found a reason for being in the Berlin Wall, and dare I say art was a conduit for culture, when the wall came down, baby…….Achtung Baby.
This one is absolutely an opener to the whole album! Brilliant
THE U2 ALBUM
