My father was in the hospital, his healthy was really critically. I received a call from the hospital, the doctor wanted to talk to me about my father. I didn’t know at the time, but when I received the call my father already passed away. So I took my car, put the first song I could found on my phone just to listen something while I was driving and that was the song I accidentally found. I was a U2 fan already, always listen their songs. But for some reason I never listened this song at the time. And this song made me drive to the hospital in a completely feeling of piece that I never could understand. It was like my father was with me, helping me to calm down, preparing me for the hard talk I was about to have with the doctor. Still today this song is very special to me. A little bit sad to me, but also a song that in some way brings me piece.
You chose a beautiful song ,and I also have never heard it before. It's like your Dad was making you pick this to remember him by every time you hear it or choose to play it going forward.
This haunting song combined with Bono's eloquent vocal cuts right to the bone. Saw them in Edmonton Canada and still consider it the best concert I have seen. Have been a fan since they started out. One of the best!

"Every gambler knows that to lose is what you're really there for." "Every sailor knows that the sea is a friend made enemy, and every shipwrecked soul knows what it's like to live without intimacy. I thought I heard the Captain's voice..." "Are we ready to be swept off our feet and stop chasing every breaking wave..." The waves, the sea, everything about this song is pure poetry and easily top five for Bono's best lyrics. This is more than heart on sleeve stuff -- Bono ripped his heart out here. Sublime and oh so bittersweet.
Always loved u2 bonos lyrics always hit the right place but this one like I read someone else say rips the heart out and shows it still beating to you...
My favorite version of this song is this one right here at this house with the porch on the shore. It’s the best version hands down. And the weather- Symbolic - cloudy like the unknown souls wondering if love would work this time.
This makes me cry, what a beautiful song and voice. I love U2 since forever, they makes me feel so free and so full of life, even when i feel i can't go on, they bring me back to life in every song. They make me discover feelings i did'nt know i have. Bono's voice is so full of life, omg i can't stop cryin. Sorry for my bad english. XOXO from a Venezuelan fan
Met him Bono and his wife back in 2007 at Dublin airport. He was off as usual to do some gig in foreign lands.He was queuing up at check-in like everyone else refusing VIP treatment. I put out my hand to shake his and he obliged. I told him it was pleasure to meet him and he said likewise! I said I don't want an autograph but wanted to tell him that his voice reminded me of a mature wine the older it got the better it tasted. He laughed and thanked me. They don't make em like that anymore.
What a fantastic privilege you had dear Francel. I wish I had met Bono too, when I lived in Dublin ( Eire), in 1999/2000. I know I will meet him someday! Bless you!
U2 is one of our best groups in history. The music they have given us, and the important topics they made us aware of . We are all lucky to have had a band in our lives the last 40 yrs. Sooooo much timeless music. A gift from god
His voice, his voice is something rare and unique! One of the best voices in the music history. U2 after 40 years are on the top...what a band, they are the pure meaning of the word Artists!
Agreed. I have one thing I need to say. Do not compare this band to The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, or other bands that have not broken up and will do a song or two at an awards show or benefit every couple of years. U2 has stayed together and relevant for 40 years and releasing new music continuously the whole time. This is true artistic greatness.
Bono and U2 are the soundtrack of my life. Every up and down, every heartbreak, and beautiful day. This captures my soul at this moment. Thank for your amazing voice, heart, and hand as you wrote and sing this. You are a gift from God.
How true! The lyrics to their songs have so many meanings to so many. They truly are a religious experience to me each time I listen thru their entire catalog!
I was born in 70' became a fan in 83'. Unfortunately, I had responsible parents that I just couldn't quite convince to let me go to those earlier gigs (ha). The raw and boundless emotion and energy, ah... Maybe before I kick the bucket technology will make it possible to go back and experience things, like a rock concert, from our past in VR. Anyway through thick and thin, love and heartbreak, ups and downs, life and death, showdowns and lockdowns U2's music has been, always, there like a trusted friend. Gracias amigos!
Simply beautiful. Those four men are the most unique band in music history. The adaptation, the experimentation, remaining relevant for 40 years and beyond. Incredible.
I wouldn't as far as to say they're the most unique band in history by any stretch. But, they have made many masterpieces and this song is their ultimate achievement with regards to songcraft.
@@one_with_kevrything9825Matter of opinion.. I've been buying U2 records since age 13, I am now 57. I have literally witnessed their evolution of sound and experimentation. In my opinion, they're the most unique.
That voice a gift from God! Bono has managed to recapture almost all of his range from the early days with a hint of rasp at the top end. Like a fine cognac this band and Bono's voice have aged very well. Awesome!!
Best performance I have ever seen, as he sings toward the open air boats and ocean. No sound proofing just nature! Amazing! 'End it before we begin'....the most important verse of the song, sang once.
That raspy voice crack @ 3:37 ….is what’s called “perfectly imperfect” …..and it’s the only thing better than actual perfection. It’s what makes Bono, Bono yo !
I always thought the soul that U2 put into their songs was the best thing about them. It doesn't matter if its a stadium with hundreds of people or a small concert on a porch. They always bring their absolute. Thank you gents for putting your art into the world
Since 1980 I’ve loved this band and they have always, always given as much love to their fans as they give to each other. Bono’s voice is one that as soon as you hear it, you know it’s him. There never ever will be a band that’s perfectly match as these 4 musicians.
Same here way back to the early eighties. I can listen to any of their albums and it never gets old. I do however get sick of Bonos twisting politics and will take a break every once in a while.
I can't tell you how many times I've come back to this video, this performance. I can't tell you how many times I've needed to hear it. How many times it pulled out of me what I needed to feel and let go. It's utterly transcendental yet visceral. It would've been a dream to have seen and heard this in person. Love is my religion and U2 is my gospel
Suas palavras dizem tudo que eu gostaria dizer sobre minha impressão ao ouvir essa canção. Penetra em nossa mente, alma e coração! Visceral e espiritual! Obrigado! Muitíssimo obrigado!
Same here...... This is an amazing performance... wow.. The voice and the peaceful vibe of the musicians and the people... I would have liked to be there.
His voice has not gotten better, he can’t hit the notes he once did, doesn’t have the vocal control he once did, take aStay for example, the song was just breathtaking live in 1993, now he can barely sing it.
One day i startes itunes and there was „Songs of innocence“. I wondered but startet to listen to it and noticed the wonderful songs, especially „every breaking wave“ - it‘s such a beautiful song and touches my soul everytime I listen to it. I also noticed the discussions and anger about releasing the album at the itunes cloud and that it appered to anyone‘s account - which I just can‘t comprehend because without this I would have never had the idea or intention to listen to this wonderful album. I just want to say „Thank you“ to U2 and itunes for giving me access to this wonderful music ❤️
Gold star to the audio engineers here. Absolutely stunning sound. And for U2, honestly one of the best renditions of this song. I certainly would have been mesmerized. (e.g. not looking at my phone)
84'.first time I heard them.. 35 plus years.. dying to see them up close. 13 shows over the years.. won 5th row center stage tickets to Joshua tree.. picked them up at will call and handed them to my 22 yr old nephew and his new wife.. I've lived the legacy.. time to pass it one.. the look before and after the show was completely priceless.. not one second of regret!! Thank you boys.. priceless songs , faces and memories..
I absolutely love the song! It always gives me goosebumps and puts me in a reflective mood. It's a timeless classic that I never get tired of listening to.
That's what I love about U2: after all these years in the show business, they're still able to show up in a street alley, in a store, in the metro With Fallon, on a porch and play to the people. Right there. No stage. Just a simple show. I love that.

gahan101 i agree, my respect. I hope they will never dissapear from world.
Beautiful, I've been a fan since 1983 and grown up with this band. Born and bred Irish and so happy that I can say I've also grown with the band. Bonos vocals have got such control. Wow and wow again sir.
Ive been listening to U2 since 6th grade on my tape player back in 89' and to see this video 34years later is magical, by far best version of this song. beyond that is this most special occasion for this most lucky person to have done at their house im still trying to figure out how on earth was so lucky/fortunate!, but that to hear his voice and passion put into his song after all these years to hear his soul attaining an artistic musical level beyond measure is truly wonderful thing to witness..to think of all the people's lives they have influenced in such good ways in all these years, its truly so inspiring to me and unbelievable recording of this song and to be so lucky to have witnessed this im sure! Only saw them once in my life at the Tacoma Dome during the all you cant leave behind tour when album first came out like 99' or 2000.
That’s soo touching. Bono and the band make every their fan feel something special while listening. Everyone who listen this song understand it in ones own way. It is so deep and so simple, every word goes down deep into soul. And , yes I couldn’t stop my tears during listening this live version. U2 is so unique, I even can’t describe their uniqueness with my own words. Bono and the band give us a lot. They give us the meaning of so important things as love, hope, kindness, optimism, light etc. I am so thankful to you , guys, be blessed for you to go your way best. With Love.
This is such a brilliant performance and will never understand how people view it through the camera or text while this is going on. It is beyond mind-numbing.
Edge is such a great musician I’ve always been a huge fan of his and as a guitar player I like to watch what chords he’s come up with. He’s a very relaxed and focused guy. Thanks for the tune!
Can't believe that there are people making videos with their cellphones instead of enjoying this unbelieveble moment seeing and hearing this awesome perfomance that they have been giftet with
This song is timeless, it has healing powers, every time I listen to it, I am astonished by the depth of its lyrics. Rumi’s words or any other great poet’s words has such impact. U2, a True blessing, they have, they do and they will keep on healing the world, cause their music is beyond time and space
True.You are right. Listening to the lyrics I was also immediately thinking about a very wise man and teacher for many people Willigis Jäger. He knew Rumi's work very well and himself he wrote many books and one title is the wave is the ocean. Worth reading it !!! Love it. Thank you Willigis .R.I.P. Love U2. Thank you for making the world community happy with your work.
There's just something about Bono's voice I can't get enough of, I hate it when people just go on about his preaching at gigs or in the press, he is right when he speaks, he has every right to point out the wrong in the world. But the singing, that's where he shines always. I love to hear him sing and that's all the matters to me.
@@hosoiarchives4858 Please show your work/evidence? He does a lot for Africa he says it like it is, and for me his charity or preaching has nothing to do with the band but his singing is second to NONE. Next?
You are feet from a rare intimate performance by a lead singer who will be remembered for generations to come, and your are looking at your phone. I know the saying to each his own, but the lack of awareness of people beyond themselves is the true epidemic.
This is such an underrated song. Exceptionally well-written lyrics and the bass on this song compliments them so well. This song is a way of life, it gives you hope as well as a reality check.
Love this song, healing if a person is going through a tough time, a loss of a relationship whether it’s personal or business, a song of reflection...at least that’s how I understood it. This song help me through a loss of a personal relationship, and now I realized I was grieving the loss of that friendship.
Wow Bono's Technique and pitch control is amazing at almost 60! He Has So much power! His voice has been getting better and better lately. he is getting his iconic voice back that he was known for in the 80's as far as i can tell from this video! if you listen to his technique, its much like the technique he used in 84-86. ive alwayed loved his beautiful voice and im very happy he is singing with so much soul and passion again.
Jake Taylor I agree.....his voice has suffered over the years, starting from the mid 90s in my opinion. I was suprised how strong he sounded here...when he nails it...he nails it and he is up there with the greatest.
I was listening for any after concert pitch touch-ups to the vocals, and I didn't really hear anything. He really does sound incredible here, just like rattle and hum
One of the best bands ever -- been around for ages yet still going strong. Seems like U2 has a song for every great and devastating moment in our lives.
One of the most pure and powerful performances you’ll see. Bono has always had it, and that power grows by the year. History unfolding and we are grateful to witness it.
This song always brings tears to my eyes. When this album was released, my daughter and I were at the height of our relationship. I’ve been separated from her mom for almost 3 years now and I still get to see her but she has no idea how much I love her and we both still listen to this song a lot without being in each others presence. 😢
Just speechless, met him as a teen, saw them a number of times....just with the past year oh my...tears- in a good way..so raw and cathartic - thank you for sharing that God given voice, the rawness and beauty - true art transforms phew - still has that voice that grabbed me in 1980 wow
Wow just wow! This man's singing voice is beyond great. Why I have not heard this song is beyond me. Thank you Bono you are never a dissipointment and always a pleasure to listen too and much love to the band, they are fenominal!

Your not alone. Take care

Same
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Me too ❤
The people who watched this live are blessed.
Expect that one lady in red who talked and bothered people
3:36 the two ladies at Bono's left knew on the spot how special this moment was. So epic!
"Every gambler knows that to lose is what you're really there for." "Every sailor knows that the sea is a friend made enemy, and every shipwrecked soul knows what it's like to live without intimacy. I thought I heard the Captain's voice..." "Are we ready to be swept off our feet and stop chasing every breaking wave..."

Makes the hair on my neck stand up. Bono is so casual, but conveys so much emotion. Unbelieveable performance
SHRIMPMAN!!!
Hair on my neck? 😅Does something like this exist?
U2 are like good wine. The older they are, the better they are!
I watched this after supper one day with my two kids.... and for a moment, as fleeting as it was, the world was perfect.
What a beautiful thing you said, and the most beautiful side of it is that's true. Very good music can make it happen. And love, sometimes.

40 years later, still doing big stadiums and intimate crowds , much love and respect for this band.

True musicians indeed
Saw them on May 10th 1983 at Woolsey Hall in New Haven CT. Bono's 23rd birthday! Great show!
yes. Depeche Mode too
THE KING
My favorite version of this song is this one right here at this house with the porch on the shore. It’s the best version hands down. And the weather- Symbolic - cloudy like the unknown souls wondering if love would work this time.

This is not a song, this is a miracle.
It’ll be the miracle when the two people that were apart for years get together
Amen brother
National anthem !!!
@@luvwings;
It turned to my miracle..May they be blessed to the degree they have blessed us!
Probably, the most beautiful Song by U2. Everytime It makes me cry... 😢
This version is EVERYTHING
Only love can leave such a scar , And only love can heal such a scar... Man ain't that the truth. Powerful.
This makes me cry, what a beautiful song and voice. I love U2 since forever, they makes me feel so free and so full of life, even when i feel i can't go on, they bring me back to life in every song.

Never met U2, but always loved them...got better with time.....first gig croke park 1987, amazing!!!
They didn't tour 2007 and they go on a private jet FFS 🤣🤣🤣 hope you enjoyed your attention 🤣🤣🤣
What a song, what a vocal, how lucky we are to have such a talent like this!
Thanks to the universal for this gift!❤

If I were stuck on an island forever and I could only choose one song to listen to...this version of this song would be it.
U2 is one of our best groups in history. The music they have given us, and the important topics they made us aware of . We are all lucky to have had a band in our lives the last 40 yrs. Sooooo much timeless music. A gift from god
Agree. I've often thought that we are so lucky to be alive at this time with this, and all the other fantastic music out there.
His voice, his voice is something rare and unique! One of the best voices in the music history. U2 after 40 years are on the top...what a band, they are the pure meaning of the word Artists!
Mac Phisto ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!
Agreed. I have one thing I need to say.

Something between BLACK &BLUE
Yes truer words have never been spoken
Perfect reflection 👍
There are singers whose sound is good on records, but U2 is the kind of singer whose sound is impeccable on live performance.
They're truly amazing!
Often he sounds better live
Bono and U2 are the soundtrack of my life. Every up and down, every heartbreak, and beautiful day. This captures my soul at this moment. Thank for your amazing voice, heart, and hand as you wrote and sing this. You are a gift from God.

No words to describe the superb control and raw emotion he delivered in that unbelievably hard song to vocalize.
Brings tears to my eyes every time.

It's miraculous. I've tried singing with him, but I don't know where to start. I guess the trick is in feeling every word.
Beautiful message!

I’ve been listening to U2 since the early 80’s, this is BY FAR my favorite performance. Bono’s voice here is nothing short of angelic.
Agreed. Raw.. No studio magic.. Just real and beautiful.
its from songs of surrender where they do 40 new versions of their old songs
Same here way back to the early eighties. I can listen to any of their albums and it never gets old. I do however get sick of Bonos twisting politics and will take a break every once in a while.

The greatest singer of the last four generations. All due respect to Freddie.
The greatest singer and band ever!!
its true one of my best favorite frontmen.....
I second that bro 👍😁
I am a huge U2fan and love Bono, but don't think we can compare with Freddie, two different and great artists indeed.

I just want to say „Thank you“ to U2 and itunes for giving me access to this wonderful music ❤️
Gold star to the audio engineers here. Absolutely stunning sound. And for U2, honestly one of the best renditions of this song. I certainly would have been mesmerized. (e.g. not looking at my phone)
Wow. Bell of a voice ! Since I first heard this voice in 1980 I’m still in awe of Bono and U2 !!!
This song just speaks to my heart, this version is amazing...
84'.first time I heard them.. 35 plus years.. dying to see them up close. 13 shows over the years.. won 5th row center stage tickets to Joshua tree.. picked them up at will call and handed them to my 22 yr old nephew and his new wife.. I've lived the legacy.. time to pass it one.. the look before and after the show was completely priceless.. not one second of regret!! Thank you boys.. priceless songs , faces and memories..
Great story. Way to pay it forward.
This Song Never got the
Credit that it Deserved.
Not yet, anyway.
You got that right. Can't believe I heard it today for the first time.
The whole album really got overshadowed by controversy
@@cheesebucket142 I'll have to check it out. What's the name of the album anyway?
@@MixedNutsMs Songs of Innocence
I absolutely love the song! It always gives me goosebumps and puts me in a reflective mood. It's a timeless classic that I never get tired of listening to.
One of my favourite videos on TH-cam.
Been listening to U2 since 1987, the year I graduated, The Joshua Tree, and they are still U2. These guys just get better through the years.
Kevin Davis I got into them with Unforgettable Fire and I agree with you totally
1977 .... from Dublin
1984 from Co Clare ✌️ & ♥😁 😂 😂 😁
1983 from Italy💕Bono...my life!
They started in 1976
That's what I love about U2: after all these years in the show business, they're still able to show up in a street alley, in a store, in the metro With Fallon, on a porch and play to the people. Right there. No stage. Just a simple show. I love that.
gahan101 i agree, my respect. I hope they will never dissapear from world.
Perfect comment.
One of the greatest bands ever! And this song is by far one of my favorite songs! Thank you!!!
Beautiful, I've been a fan since 1983 and grown up with this band. Born and bred Irish and so happy that I can say I've also grown with the band. Bonos vocals have got such control. Wow and wow again sir.
M
his voice still breathtaking
Ive been listening to U2 since 6th grade on my tape player back in 89' and to see this video 34years later is magical, by far best version of this song. beyond that is this most special occasion for this most lucky person to have done at their house im still trying to figure out how on earth was so lucky/fortunate!, but that to hear his voice and passion put into his song after all these years to hear his soul attaining an artistic musical level beyond measure is truly wonderful thing to witness..to think of all the people's lives they have influenced in such good ways in all these years, its truly so inspiring to me and unbelievable recording of this song and to be so lucky to have witnessed this im sure! Only saw them once in my life at the Tacoma Dome during the all you cant leave behind tour when album first came out like 99' or 2000.
Mate, love your comment. Ive been in love with the band since 81. Stay real buddy!
That’s soo touching. Bono and the band make every their fan feel something special while listening. Everyone who listen this song understand it in ones own way. It is so deep and so simple, every word goes down deep into soul. And , yes I couldn’t stop my tears during listening this live version. U2 is so unique, I even can’t describe their uniqueness with my own words. Bono and the band give us a lot. They give us the meaning of so important things as love, hope, kindness, optimism, light etc. I am so thankful to you , guys, be blessed for you to go your way best. With Love.
Must be a really underrated song. I just heard it today for the first time. It's breathtakingly beautiful!
One of the best versions of this I’ve heard
One of the best comments on here Erik...and true.
Beautiful song
I agree
Juste merveilleux merci U2, j ai grandit avec vous aujourd'hui 51 ans..encore merci
This is such a brilliant performance and will never understand how people view it through the camera or text while this is going on. It is beyond mind-numbing.
Pierces the soul . Another U2 masterpiece. Music with soul and substance as always from this legendary once in a lifetime band.
That voice. Devastating in the best possible way.
What Bono did right there is outstanding, an outstanding World class singing performance... Doing THAT while sitting down is just... Amazing
No words. Just serenely silent and listening to a legend. What lyrics what emotions and Gods own voice. God bless all🙏
Edge is such a great musician I’ve always been a huge fan of his and as a guitar player I like to watch what chords he’s come up with. He’s a very relaxed and focused guy. Thanks for the tune!
Can't believe that there are people making videos with their cellphones instead of enjoying this unbelieveble moment seeing and hearing this awesome perfomance that they have been giftet with
This song is timeless, it has healing powers, every time I listen to it, I am astonished by the depth of its lyrics. Rumi’s words or any other great poet’s words has such impact. U2, a True blessing, they have, they do and they will keep on healing the world, cause their music is beyond time and space
True.You are right. Listening to the lyrics I was also immediately thinking about a very wise man and teacher for many people Willigis Jäger. He knew Rumi's work very well and himself he wrote many books and one title is the wave is the ocean. Worth reading it !!! Love it. Thank you Willigis .R.I.P. Love U2. Thank you for making the world community happy with your work.
Those vocals man! Bono sounds amazing, and Edge on the keys wow just Beautiful ! Replay
Pure class and such a beautiful tune, wow!
GorillaStreetFood what a voice
Love u2,, they have m3nt so much to me...
I've been following u2 since '77, so wonderful! Each week I have a new favorite song! But this is my favorite video!
What's your all time favorite? I love Sunday Bloody Sunday...depends on mood though
There's just something about Bono's voice I can't get enough of, I hate it when people just go on about his preaching at gigs or in the press, he is right when he speaks, he has every right to point out the wrong in the world. But the singing, that's where he shines always. I love to hear him sing and that's all the matters to me.
Bono is evil
@@hosoiarchives4858 Please show your work/evidence? He does a lot for Africa he says it like it is, and for me his charity or preaching has nothing to do with the band but his singing is second to NONE. Next?
it's amazing how you can taste his love for "singing" through his voice. It is rare to find it in current artists ... many do it for money.❤
That's actually a great comment and so true. I was thinking something similar as well
It’s hard to listen while you preach. You learn this with age, hopefully. I love this performance. 😊
Lo máximo U2
I don’t understand how Bono’s voice keeps getting better and better with age.
Aging like fine wine!
One of the best renditions of one of U2's best ballads. Bono and Edge really did this one right. Bravo guys. Keep it up
You are feet from a rare intimate performance by a lead singer who will be remembered for generations to come, and your are looking at your phone.
I know the saying to each his own, but the lack of awareness of people beyond themselves is the true epidemic.
It makes me so mad !!! I would be taking pix, crying, taking in every single second.
Maybe the song made them realise they need to say something to someone
It’s a lesson learned in time for many of us who are among those lucky enough to have learned it at all.
This version is so pure and full of talent!
Just so so beautiful!!
This is bliss for my ears!
Master piece. Master voice
Chef d'oeuvre❤
This song is every bit as stunning as 'Stay'...Gorgeous poetic masterpiece
This is such an underrated song. Exceptionally well-written lyrics and the bass on this song compliments them so well. This song is a way of life, it gives you hope as well as a reality check.
Love this song, healing if a person is going through a tough time, a loss of a relationship whether it’s personal or business, a song of reflection...at least that’s how I understood it. This song help me through a loss of a personal relationship, and now I realized I was grieving the loss of that friendship.
Wow Bono's Technique and pitch control is amazing at almost 60! He Has So much power! His voice has been getting better and better lately. he is getting his iconic voice back that he was known for in the 80's as far as i can tell from this video! if you listen to his technique, its much like the technique he used in 84-86. ive alwayed loved his beautiful voice and im very happy he is singing with so much soul and passion again.
Jake Taylor I agree.....his voice has suffered over the years, starting from the mid 90s in my opinion. I was suprised how strong he sounded here...when he nails it...he nails it and he is up there with the greatest.
Jake Taylor true
I was listening for any after concert pitch touch-ups to the vocals, and I didn't really hear anything. He really does sound incredible here, just like rattle and hum
Jake Taylor GREAT VOICE Amazing voice!!! 100% Amazing! 💟🌟💟
why can he not bring this voice to his classic New Years Day with the beginning scream
Thanks from Ukraine! I am full of emotions. YOUR SONGS YOU magical. ME AND MY English. Thank you for your visit to Kyiv, it was unexpected
UNBELIEVABLE AWESOME!!! There are no words that describe this voice!!! I have never heard anything that great. Nobody even comes close.
One of the best bands ever -- been around for ages yet still going strong. Seems like U2 has a song for every great and devastating moment in our lives.
IKR
One of the most pure and powerful performances you’ll see. Bono has always had it, and that power grows by the year. History unfolding and we are grateful to witness it.
This song always brings tears to my eyes. When this album was released, my daughter and I were at the height of our relationship. I’ve been separated from her mom for almost 3 years now and I still get to see her but she has no idea how much I love her and we both still listen to this song a lot without being in each others presence. 😢
Just speechless, met him as a teen, saw them a number of times....just with the past year oh my...tears- in a good way..so raw and cathartic - thank you for sharing that God given voice, the rawness and beauty - true art transforms phew - still has that voice that grabbed me in 1980 wow
miss my sister- she has a TBI and I can no longer get through. praying Jesus heals her
Wow just wow! This man's singing voice is beyond great. Why I have not heard this song is beyond me. Thank you Bono you are never a dissipointment and always a pleasure to listen too and much love to the band, they are fenominal!
What an incredible voice, what an amazing artist... U2 is a true Rock Band. They are incredible ❤️.
A piano and a voice , talent doesnt need more ...
Absolutely masterpieces! I am U2 generation and I love them!
