First time I heard the song, I thought it was written for me. The opening lines... shouldn't be here coz I should be dead... I believe my best days are ahead...
You too could become a big fan of this brilliant band because their music grows on you and more one discovers of their back catalogue the more there is to like.
U2's best songs are almost always the tracks hidden in the albums/the ones they don't release as singles. American Soul got way more airplay & it's a decent song, but Lights of Home is truly next level imo. Lyrically, melodically, everything. One of the best songs they've ever made imo, & the strings here are perfect
The sound of a band 40 years in and firing on all cyclinders. I love U2 and have been there from the start. This album....these songs...make me believe they have been with me also. Songs Of Experience, indeed
I literally just discovered this song! Phenomenal! There was a comment below where someone reminded us that if people were to say that U2 can no longer make good or creative music anymore, to direct people to this. I say right on, brother! I've been a fan for a long time and will say that I fell off a little. This has brought me back!!
Well, they could still making good song, but they are one or none for each album after Achtung Baby. How many good songs could you name since 1991? I don't think more than 8.
@@madmax-us3il Zooropa, Babyface, Lemon, Gone, Please, Your blue room, Beautiful Day, elevation, Vertigo, The blackout, breath, Cedarwood road, lights of home. That’s 13 there’s still many more!
@@mysticedge4 Of that list you wrote, Zooropa doesn't have any good song, Lemon (1) maybe the only regular one. Then you have Pop, with only one "Please" (2) . From the All That You Can't Leave Behind, Elevation is good, but Walk On (3) is better. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb has maybe two good songs: Miracle Drug and All Because of you (5) . No Line on the Horizon (0). Songs of Innocence, maybe but barely "Volcano" and "Raised By Wolves" (7) . Songs of experience : only and maybe regular song "The Little Things That Give You Away" (8) and if they would have played Lights of home as in this video, maybe it could have been the one. There.... the rest is pop music similar to Coldplay, nothing comparable to the caliber of music they made in the 80's.
I've decided that the answer for people who say they don't make good new music anymore is to direct those people back to songs that they overlooked. There is a huge catalog to choose from. Or if someone wants to hang onto some songs from the past, do that! There's "something for everyone," said the Edge that time they promoted a new tour in KMart in NYC! Look it up and listen carefully!
What a performance! Magnificent, spectacular, outstanding... can't find the right words to describe. The best thing to do is to feel them play and sing and let the emotions do their magic...
U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Juts one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances. I would love your input on our last video. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me : th-cam.com/video/ufF4gUA_6rQ/w-d-xo.html
I don’t think there has ever been any other band .... ever for that matter .... that wish to include their audience in the moment as much as U2 .... their gigs are a conversation waxed lyrical..... the pay off for them is touching the listener .... not playing a set for profit .... they are U2nique ..... 40 years of passion ... the desire of fame and fortune doesn’t carry you that far ..... this is a mission
I think so. It used the word "Jesus" that the mainstream media considers offensive. Ultimately, this is a song about a believer looking forward to heaven. Awesome.
@@tracyselzer1325 That's so awesome! Unfortunately, my husband doesn't like them so much yet I was their fan since I was 6! They are incredible and unique in every single way!
The Edge's slide solo is so masterfully done. I love at 2:34 when it shows him so concentrated with the orchestra in the background. Such an epic and iconic shot! I was so blessed to see them this past Tuesday in Chicago. This song is my fave on the new album. ♡

So sorry for your loss
There is no end to their greatness! One of the absolute greatest bands ever and they never fail to impress all with their genuineness!! 4 ever U2
Orchestra meets rock. Only u2. They are the best band of all time.
Metallica did it in the 90s
@@seangeheran2916 and last year, too
agreed! The world's best one!
Nothing new actually, Deep Purple did that in 1969
Oasis done it 30 years ago and plus Metallica don’t count cos there that bad
Bono, what a nice voice, warm, unique gift ... Great! Thank you guys!
I love ❤ Mature U2

Another song that comes to mind after reading this would be Kite, one of my all time favorite songs.
Crazy Tonight and Breath were some of those songs as well.
I agree. It’s as good as anything they’ve done. Better in some ways too
Agreed. They have some many unknown gems....
@@ryanashley6241 Crazy Tonight is one of my all time favourites
I’ve listened to this over and over and over. Incredible
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Close your eyes and experience the awesomeness of this performance

I've got goosebumps when Bono is singing "Hey, I've been waiting to get home a long time". I love the amazing guitar solo in this song.
2:16 like the way that The Edge tunes his guitar during the song!
I thought the same, but he's actually grabbing the slide for the upcoming part. Quite a handy place to stick it.
@@EmanuelVillaverde98 oh! I didn,t noticd that!
again another U2 :song that's far far superior to the album version which sounds lacklustre to this bombastic effort! top job boys
What a piece of art, what a marvelous composition and poetry. Thanks U2 for feeding our souls!
40 years and still rocking
Rocking all!!
Totally!
Rock it!!!!!
40yrs
At the top of their game
U2 is the best Rock Band Hall of Time 🇧🇷
I love that line "Hey jesus, if i'm still your friend. whatcha got for me"
I love that line too but It’s actually “Hey Jesus if I’m still your friend what the hell, what the hell you got for me
U2 are underrated and this is one example of many extraordinary songs they have written.

Wow, what a song again off U2. 40 years together,and still
they make beautyfull songs.
U2, is out off space. Love them 😎.
Great song and that orchestra is fantastic
This song is perfect. It takes bravery to see yourself. I love how you stand then go down. I always wave. Lol
Splendid performance while reading Bono’s book ‘Surrender’
Lol, I'm also just started the book Surrender
00:43 See again, the lights in front of me.
What a great choreography.

I think this song and Landlady are everybody’s favorites off that album. At least those are my top 2.
You almost went Home, Bono. Glad to still have you here. 🙏🏼
What happened? :( You mean that bike accident?
@@terezacernohousova62 he had a "brush with mortality" late 2016 that they won't talk about in detail but apparently very nearly killed him
One of the Best versions !
Eryka Grint no
Stick an orchestra behind any track and it takes it to another level. Beautiful day from this concert where he starts singing star man is sublime
Absolutely amazing! The boys have done it again! :) Great Orchestral Parts
Love the strings.
This touches my heart in a way I can't explain...
Riff is catchy and powerful lyrics are wonderful this song bonds me with u2 now and forever
What a piece of art.
I shouldn’t be here, I should be dead

My favourite song from SOE
HUMBLE KINGS...THEY CAME FROM OUTERSPACE...OUTSTANDING.
Il tempo si è fermato con voi U2 palpitazioni....
I love the letter of this song. Lovely.Wonderfull. Since El Hierro.Canary Islands.
I didn't appreciate this performance until after having seen U2 on tour this month. Now I do.
"Lights Of Home"
I shouldn't be here 'cause I should be dead
I can see the lights in front of me
I believe my best days are ahead
I can see the lights in front of me
Oh, Jesus, if I'm still your friend
What the hell
What the hell you got for me?
I gotta get out from under my bed
To see again the lights in front of me
Hey, I've been waiting to get home a long time
Hey now, do you know my name?
Hey now, where I'm going
If I can't get an answer
In your eyes, I see it
The lights of home
The lights of home
I was born from a screaming sound
I can see the lights in front of me
I thought my head was harder than ground
I can see the lights in front of me
One more push and I'll be born again
One more road you can't travel with a friend
Saw a statue of a gold guitar
Bright lights right in front of me
Hey, I've been waiting to get home a long time
Hey now, do you know my name?
Hey now, where I'm going
If I can't get an answer
In your eyes, I see it
The lights of home
In the lights of home
Hey now, do you know my name?
Hey now, where I'm going
If I can't get an answer
In your eyes, I see it
In your eyes alone
I see the lights of home
Free yourself to be yourself
If only you could you see yourself
