There can never be any justification for the killing of innocent people. The people above were human beings with lives in front of them and that is what people need to see, so thank you for naming them. It is not about British vs Irish. We are one. It is all about the lives of real people. Beimid go léir le chéile mar aon ní amháin. Briotanach agus Gaeilge.
In other events such as the killing of innocent Aidan McAnespie, Ballymurphy Massacre, Loughall. We will never forget the people massacred by British security forces during the Troubles.
My teacher played this song for my class when we were learning about Bloody Sunday in Northern Ireland and ever since then i have fallen in love with this song
So sorry for your loss. Bono said in (2005) Rolling Stone Mag. that this song is about Christ's resurrection from the dead,Easter Sunday, contrasted with Derry ,N.Ireland 1972. Hope, faith and Love. your mom had great taste
Crazy listening to this today in 2020 - nearly 40 years later- when fact is fiction and TV reality. Will people ever change? How long must we sing this song?
Fuck uk theve kills hundreads of innocent people and taken over 90 percent of the world by muderjbg people for years and they lost all of it so they started picking on ireland
This song carries a heavy message, I'm glad U2 made this song, my heart goes out to those lost their lives on that sad and terrible day, may God bless their families and guide their souls, plz stay safe everyone and love one another
My good friend was hit by a car in California as she was trying to cross the street on her bike. I regret not choosing to go and see her before she moved a month before her passing. My very good friend told me to listen to this song. It's helping me out. We all miss you Haley
Can't we all just live in peace already?! We are all brothers and sisters in this beautiful Earth! I can't see why we all don't join hands and live together as one. ♥️
Not many songs equal in importance, part of me feels was maybe a bit inappropriate to use given what it is really about & the real lives affect by that day, but I can see why was used given the impact of the words
What would be the big deal if it did? In one way, great classic songs are being discovered by a new generation of people. If a bunch of people you'll never meet using a song on an app is enough to ruin the song for you, then I think the issue is with yourself rather than the app. 😛
@@angelkileyy Actually, no. Never used the app. Your detective skills are rusty, Columbo. 😛 Just don't get what the big deal is. The song won't lose its meaning. Using "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails/Johnny Cash on a harmless app for some flavour of the week joke won't make it any less of a meaningful song for example. And where did I insult you? I didn't call you a name or anything of the sort. Just simply questioned your logic. And TH-cam is an open forum. Sooner or later, this comment would have come. It just sounds like you're insulted by the fact that I challenged your opinion.
Once in Morocco I prayed at the same time as a man. He said his prayers to Allah, I said mine to Christ. We looked at each other, and we understood there's more than religion. There's brotherhood of man. And respect.On a funeral for a Muslim I said a catholic prayer. A friend of the dead man smiled at me gently. He understood: we all feel the same feelings!!! So there was no need at all for bloody Sunday!
Lauren Clerkin This Bloody Sunday refers mainly to the 1972 killing of unarmed civil-rights protesters by soldiers of the British Army in Derry, Northern Ireland. These civil-right protest were in the context of the conflict known as "The Troubles", which, while not a religious conflict per se, has an important religious background. The conflict began amidst a campaign to end discrimination against the Catholic/nationalist minority in electoral boundaries, voting rights, and the allocation of public housing, by the Protestant/unionist-dominated government and police force.
***** However the catholics wanted a unification of ireland by merging the north and south and ridding the north of british influence and control , while the protestants wanted the country to be ruled by britain and are british loyalist . If i'm not wrong .
Of all of the songs I have heard, this is the most powerfully timeless song ever. More and more is it becoming a reality of today, “fact is fiction and tv reality”... “I won’t heed the battle cry, puts my back up against the wall”....
Bitch acting like songs like this is america dont exist. Talking about a much wider issue but still racially motivated and still agents of the state killing people who did nothing extrajudiciarilly. Also wouldnt it be a good thing that such songs dont exist anymore, it would mean that bloody Sunday like events are not happening.
Such a tragedy what happened to those poor people and their families. May they all R.I.P. U2 brought the tragic events that occurred that horrible day to everyone's attention with this song. May the victims never be forgotten. 🇮🇪
I have a room upstairs that looks like something from Hoarders. Cleaned through it some and found both the album and the cover intact after hearing of this song. What a crazy coincidence!
"I wont heed the battle call." is my favourite line of this song. It takes infinitely more courage to be the bigger man and not fight. You can't fight hate with more hate. It is like fighting darkness with darkness, or trying to stop an oil-fire with water. The only thing that can beat darkness and hate are light and love.
***** Yea, and why did they feel forced to use violence..? As reaction to violent British repression. That only gives my point more validity. Besides, how long ago was that..? Fortunately we don't live in the cut-throat 18th century anymore.
***** It's not a very good joke man. And you're wrong, everything between 1701 and 1800 is called the 18th century, the US revolutionary war was 1775-1783.
I know that but the only way that Ireland will be fully owned by the Irish people is through a vote. I'd rather that than bombs going off constantly and army check points. Freedom through violence could have worked but not now.
It's a lot more complicated than that and you clearly don't understand the whole situation. As much as I am for the sate of Northern Ireland to be gone, at the minute down in the republic the economy is even more if a shit hole than the north. We have just come out of a long period of shooting, rioting and bombings. No matter who you are you appreciate the peace while it lasts.
Northern Ireland. Belfast. Derry. Sunday january 30th 1972. 14 innocent people killed by british soldiers. 47 years later (2019) justice has still not been won. R.I.P. the victims and god bless the relatives. That event is more than disgrace in the history of the world. Sunday Bloody Sunday. How long must we sing this song?
@Dr No Have I? Please inform me. Why did U2 played the song infamously? Did it come out as a disrespect to what happened? If so I just didn´t know that mate.
What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".
I remember when this song came out. It had such a militaristic kind of beat, and it was so in your face with the issues of our time. It was simply one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
susan colby I am listening to "The Man Behind the Wire" right now. Thanks for the new music. I have a question for you...I would like to hear from some true Irish on this... Is there racism against blacks in Ireland? How much, and who is doing it and why? I don't know shit and I want to not be ignorant. I am a black man, and every Irish blooded American I know I have always had a sense of camaraderie with them that comes from a place of our feeling a mutual sense of discrimination considering the history of America with respect to our cultures. Am I crazy or am I welcome in Ireland as a brother?
I'm from a family of Irish immigrants and knowing all the stories from family members of other shit that happened there just adds to the awesomeness of this song.
Lawrence Malcheff i am American. my grandparents from Ireland, so Irish ancestry . I am from Massachusetts so we were exposed to the troubles much more than other parts of the United States. when the Irish immigrated here, they were discriminated against something awful. there were signs that said, No Irish Wanted. AND many woman were indentured servants of wasp families. something interesting is that THE British enslaved the Irish AND sent them to Jamaica to pick sugar cane. hence the term, black Irish. when I tell people that Irish were slaves THEY don't know about it, white slaves? Yea, I despise the British government, get out of 13 counties in the North of Ireland. 800 year's enough!
new era....the world needs u2 more than ever.....we are 1 god made this word for us ,for your mom and dad for mexicans and blacks and Asians and Arabs...we need love more than ever..
"It was supposed to be their year, a season that started off with such high expectations." - Ian Eagle in the cold opening of the Denver Broncos Indianapolis Colts matchup on CBS January 6, 2002
I like to play this song on repeat late at night while wallowing in self-hatred for leaving my homework to the last possible second on Sunday. If Monday is the worst day of the week, Sunday is the second worst. I find the military beat gives me a sense of direction, a desire to keep buggering on, as Winston Churchill would put it. (I know I'm completely missing the original point of the song, but I do not care; I need more coffee.)
I have had this song ringing in my ears since this recent conflict re-started in the middle east between Hamas and the Israeli gov. It breaks my heart. I have lived out there, the people are good people, good like most of us. How must it feel to live in a situation like that? To have our lives and the lives of our loved ones at the mercy of idiotic politicians and pretentious self-declared holy men?
Reminds me of my childhood and my mom because she loved u2 and 10 years later here i am searching up these old gems. They still make me feel the same way and it reminds me of simpler times. Will always love these guys and their work (Its so much better now i understand the lyrics haha )
'Sunday Bloody Sunday'. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".
This song helped me pass my Theory driving test. I heard it on the radio when I woke up. I heard it on Shuffle on my iPod on the bus to the test centre and I heard it in the waiting room of the test centre. All on the same day, one after another. Thanks U2 :)
I remember the exact moment I first heard this song: I was 15, in the car with my dad driving northbound on highway 77 in Bloomington, Minnesota. It was a little before seven in the early spring. The sun was just going down, the lighting on the bridge arches was beautiful, and I was sitting stock-still in the passenger seat just feeling the power of this song wash over me. Thank GOD the internet existed and I could immediately listen to it about ten more times when we got home.
I have been a loud mouth dissaprover of U2 my entire life and all of a sudden one day I heard this song again and it just clicked. I'm still not a huge fan or anything but my respect level went way up after that. Its that one time emotional understanding through song that helps make the human connection stronger.
Yeah I can't believe the news today Oh, I can't close my eyes And make it go away How long? How long must we sing this song? How long, how long? 'Cause tonight, we can be as one Tonight Broken bottles under children's feet Bodies strewn across the dead end street But I won't heed the battle call It puts my back up Puts my back up against the wall Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday, Sunday, Bloody Sunday (alright) And the battle's just begun There's many lost, but tell me who has won The trench is dug within our hearts And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday How long? How long must we sing this song? How long, how long? 'Cause tonight, we can be as one Tonight, tonight Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Tonight, tonight) Sunday, Bloody Sunday (let's go) Wipe the tears from your eyes Wipe your tears away Oh, wipe your tears away I'll, wipe your tears away (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) I'll, wipe your blood shot eyes (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) And it's true we are immune When fact is fiction and TV reality And today the millions cry We eat and drink while tomorrow they die the real battle just begun (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) to claim the victory Jesus won On Sunday Bloody Sunday, yeah Sunday Bloody Sunday
This is my favorite song by U2, makes me think of my father who passed away last May, he used to play this album all the time when I was little, brings back alot of good memories, RIP dad/Harry I hope your in heaven looking down on me and keeping me safe down here on hell
This group represents to me,everything that defines anti...antiwar,anti-discrimination,antipoverty,anti-non education,anti no violation in human rights,anti gay hate treat,I love them,and respect everything about their music and spirit,U2 for ever
I agree with you pal i too am British and it took 38 years for our country to apologise for that and that really pisses me of im only 15 but im learning all about this in History
@@GER-sm3gh You're right about that. The world has been fooled into this. The British man who apologizes for his country has been made to feel that way and its time for that to end. There are worse things than colonialism that the world has seen and will see because of Islam. Man up everyone, stop apologizing for your countries for what theyve done in the past. Its time to save civilization from Islam's bloody grasp.
This song is brilliant, it's quite emotive as it not only relates to the Bloody Sunday incident in 1972, but to the troubles in Northern Ireland generally, Bono says it's not political, but it is really and what it really encapsulates is how NI was in 70's and the 80's, it was quite a dangerous place at times and they managed to create a song that is catchy and tells a story at the same time.
50 years ago today, 14 young republicans protesting for freedom and liberty were shot dead by the british occupiers on the streets of Derry. rest in peace. Tiocfaidh ár lá

Me too
Awesome Lucky you have a teacher that put on that song
same
Same here
Same 4 me
U2 used to be my mom's favorite band before she died. R.I.P. mommy
oh... sorry dude
it’s exactly the same with me - my mom died in an accident last year, and u2 also used to be one of her favorite bands... i just miss her so much
@@theyellowmushroom5439 That sucks. Sorry about your mom bro. I hope you'll get better...
So sorry for your loss. Bono said in (2005) Rolling Stone Mag. that this song is about Christ's resurrection from the dead,Easter Sunday, contrasted with Derry ,N.Ireland 1972. Hope, faith and Love. your mom had great taste
@@charleysangel2866 it was actually about an incident where british troops started to shoot and kill unarmed civil rights protesters.
There are so many Bloody Sundays throughout history, and this song is so well written that it applies to them all
Still find it so hard to accept that some people don't think twice about hurting others. Such a petty and cowardly way yo impose ideas.
@@ismaelibanez9545 medical malpractice, lies in the media, people having their livelihood threatened by not complying with lies.
Yes, the Bloody Sunday in 1965, I think, in the U.S.
All too true, unfortunately!!
Volhynian massacre 😪
U2 nowadays is pretty decent, but U2 in their prime is unreal.
U2 in their prime had a sense of urgency and it showed both musically and lyrically.
Taking out the vocals and message, you can still feel that energy in the instruments. It musta been one hell of a recording session.
+MessengerOfDreams Yeah, its hard to top "The Joshua Tree"...
+MessengerOfDreams Its called prime for a reason
+Mvader 71 I would say Achtung Baby is their best album. Having said that Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby albums are just epic.
Crazy listening to this today in 2020 - nearly 40 years later- when fact is fiction and TV reality. Will people ever change? How long must we sing this song?
This could be about society right now. Ironic
just lost a family member to suicide ....he left behind my beautiful nieces and his granddaughter. ...this was his favorite song

So, so sorry--that's horrible

This and Zombie by Cranberries are the songs that best define the strugle of going out of the violence on Ireland on almost the whole 20 century
Anyone except u2

+JVlunby man, it's almost like art's subjective and people have different opinions or something....
But this happened in the 19th Century, not the 20th
This song carries a heavy message, I'm glad U2 made this song, my heart goes out to those lost their lives on that sad and terrible day, may God bless their families and guide their souls, plz stay safe everyone and love one another
An anthem for the youth of the 80s. Classic.
This is an anthem for everyone across history period

Can't we all just live in peace already?! We are all brothers and sisters in this beautiful Earth! I can't see why we all don't join hands and live together as one. ♥️
Perhaps U2's most important song?
Relevant when written more accurately the troubles were worse then
Genau so ist es !!
I agree 2nd after California
as in bloody sunday first
Not many songs equal in importance, part of me feels was maybe a bit inappropriate to use given what it is really about & the real lives affect by that day, but I can see why was used given the impact of the words
We lost more brothers and sisters today. Peace and love to all those in Belgium and the World. LOVE conquers all!!!!
I’m so glad that tiktok hasn’t found this song.

"There's many lost, but tell me who has won". So true for the situation in Ukraine.

They're still out there, you're just listening to the wrong music and looking for messages. You won't find it there. Good luck!

I just went into the city today and bought this record at a street fair. It was in really good condition

Northern Ireland is the last true British Colony, the Irish will not be free until all of Ireland is free.
... I hope people who suffer after me can hear these songs telling their story and know they are not all alone in what hardships they bare.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
“When fact is fiction and TV reality”
That line alone is incredibly deep
Perfect for 2021 !!!
"I wont heed the battle call." is my favourite line of this song.
It takes infinitely more courage to be the bigger man and not fight. You can't fight hate with more hate. It is like fighting darkness with darkness, or trying to stop an oil-fire with water. The only thing that can beat darkness and hate are light and love.

At least the violence that they sing about has almost ended here in ireland
I know that but the only way that Ireland will be fully owned by the Irish people is through a vote. I'd rather that than bombs going off constantly and army check points. Freedom through violence could have worked but not now.
for right now, The IRA will never give up until all of Ireland is free of british rule
True just a few days ago the was a bomb scare here in Derry
all to true, sad to say,
It's a lot more complicated than that and you clearly don't understand the whole situation. As much as I am for the sate of Northern Ireland to be gone, at the minute down in the republic the economy is even more if a shit hole than the north.

One of the best songs ever made hands down
Northern Ireland. Belfast. Derry. Sunday january 30th 1972. 14 innocent people killed by british soldiers. 47 years later (2019) justice has still not been won. R.I.P. the victims and god bless the relatives. That event is more than disgrace in the history of the world.
Sunday Bloody Sunday. How long must we sing this song?

Yeah, except this song is literally about a massacre.
This is about the bombing in Ireland.
Is it!? Urgh! I'm not listening to this again.... :(
Love the Alan partridge comment 👍
***** I feel like more people need to be aware of Bloody Sunday
"Sunday bloody Sunday" is one of my favourites,Absolutely awesome 😀
I remember when this song came out. It had such a militaristic kind of beat, and it was so in your face with the issues of our time. It was simply one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
all these years and at age 42 this is my all time U2 jam. the boys from Ireland had their shit together.
They are nothing. Listen to the Wolfe tones if you want real Irish!
susan colby I'm on it! thanks for the new jams!

Is there racism against blacks in Ireland? How much, and who is doing it and why? I don't know shit and I want to not be ignorant. I am a black man, and every Irish blooded American I know I have always had a sense of camaraderie with them that comes from a place of our feeling a mutual sense of discrimination considering the history of America with respect to our cultures.

AND many woman were indentured servants of wasp families. something interesting is that THE British enslaved the Irish AND sent them to Jamaica to pick sugar cane. hence the term, black Irish. when I tell people that Irish were slaves THEY don't know about it, white slaves? Yea, I despise the British government, get out of 13 counties in the North of Ireland. 800 year's enough!
new era....the world needs u2 more than ever.....we are 1 god made this word for us ,for your mom and dad for mexicans and blacks and Asians and Arabs...we need love more than ever..
Even though this song is about Belfast in Northern Ireland! It is prophetic to what is happening in the world today!
its about derry not belfast
Larry's drums at the beginning set the tone for the song. Hard & edgy. Nothing soft & sweet about the song.
first time I heard this the "sunday bloody sunday" part got stuck in my head for a whole day.
What an awesome day that was
"It was supposed to be their year, a season that started off with such high expectations." - Ian Eagle in the cold opening of the Denver Broncos Indianapolis Colts matchup on CBS January 6, 2002
One of my all time favorite songs.
I love this song soooo much
50 years later today... may they rest in peace
timeless song...when I get a day off I drink my morning coffee go outside and watch the trees, sunshine, and listen to birds sing. Priceless
best when its a quite Sunday morning :)
My god, such a powerful song! that's why they're my favorite band. Music with a message.
U2 is such an amazing band it's indescribable. My dad introduced me to them when I was young and I've been in love since
The most important thing in this song, is that it continue to be a relevant song actually...
Happy Sunday 8/11/2019 to better sundays to come for all
I like to play this song on repeat late at night while wallowing in self-hatred for leaving my homework to the last possible second on Sunday. If Monday is the worst day of the week, Sunday is the second worst. I find the military beat gives me a sense of direction, a desire to keep buggering on, as Winston Churchill would put it. (I know I'm completely missing the original point of the song, but I do not care; I need more coffee.)
I know how you feel I do the same thing
SbotTV That is a great idea. I know how I'm getting my pre-calc homework done this Sunday...
SbotTV tbh it’s kinda disrespectful to compare this song to you not doing your homework
tbf bono sings about the problems in Ireland and then doesn't even pay taxes there! instead he puts all of his money in off shore bank acounts.
Oh the irony of you mentioning Churchill here...
RIP in peace Dux, Cabbage and Digrat. We will never forget you magnificent bastards.
I have had this song ringing in my ears since this recent conflict re-started in the middle east between Hamas and the Israeli gov. It breaks my heart. I have lived out there, the people are good people, good like most of us. How must it feel to live in a situation like that? To have our lives and the lives of our loved ones at the mercy of idiotic politicians and pretentious self-declared holy men?
Reminds me of my childhood and my mom because she loved u2 and 10 years later here i am searching up these old gems. They still make me feel the same way and it reminds me of simpler times. Will always love these guys and their work (Its so much better now i understand the lyrics haha )
The vocals are bloody amazing
I get to play this song on the electric guitar! I've listened to U2 literally my whole life and it's a great jam.
'Sunday Bloody Sunday'. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".
@chris falkenberg That was just a noise
From a fan of mostly punk music, this will still always be my favorite drum track.
This song helped me pass my Theory driving test.
I heard it on the radio when I woke up. I heard it on Shuffle on my iPod on the bus to the test centre and I heard it in the waiting room of the test centre.
All on the same day, one after another.
Thanks U2 :)
Don't read the comments. They're just inviting huge arguments.
Welcome to the Internet
U w0t m8? git skrubed m8. L0L snipars. :)
"im straighter then the pole ur mommy danses on"
People need to know what happened. It's a important part of history.
too late
I remember the exact moment I first heard this song: I was 15, in the car with my dad driving northbound on highway 77 in Bloomington, Minnesota. It was a little before seven in the early spring. The sun was just going down, the lighting on the bridge arches was beautiful, and I was sitting stock-still in the passenger seat just feeling the power of this song wash over me. Thank GOD the internet existed and I could immediately listen to it about ten more times when we got home.
Steve Wickham's electric violin part really adds something special to this song.
My father introduced me to Irish bands like U2 and The Cranberries and tbh
I love those bands so much
#ProudOfIrishAncestry
love all classic rock but by far the best
I have been a loud mouth dissaprover of U2 my entire life and all of a sudden one day I heard this song again and it just clicked. I'm still not a huge fan or anything but my respect level went way up after that. Its that one time emotional understanding through song that helps make the human connection stronger.
Yeah
I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cause tonight, we can be as one
Tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday, Sunday, Bloody Sunday (alright)
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cause tonight, we can be as one
Tonight, tonight
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
(Tonight, tonight) Sunday, Bloody Sunday (let's go)
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
I'll, wipe your tears away (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
I'll, wipe your blood shot eyes (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
the real battle just begun
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday) to claim the victory Jesus won
On
Sunday Bloody Sunday, yeah
Sunday Bloody Sunday
I listes this song in 2019 again and again
This version is better than all the other versions of this song.
Because it actually means something to the singer & the words are coming from his heart
This song has so strong and powerful massages and i was touched.
Handmaid's tale brought me here.
x2
samee bro
Yes
Eu também! PUTAQUEOPARIU SERENA...CRL
Blessed be the fruit!
This is my favorite song by U2, makes me think of my father who passed away last May, he used to play this album all the time when I was little, brings back alot of good memories, RIP dad/Harry I hope your in heaven looking down on me and keeping me safe down here on hell
The best U2 song ever made! I remember when it came out! 👌🏻
What a perfect song for Midnight in America (following election night Nov. 8, 2016).
Best U2 song ever.
Im 5 years late :3
LifeTime PM same
just cant belive U2 is coming to Manila on December 2019!!so excited!!
This group represents to me,everything that defines anti...antiwar,anti-discrimination,antipoverty,anti-non education,anti no violation in human rights,anti gay hate treat,I love them,and respect everything about their music and spirit,U2 for ever
Such a beautiful song. One of my favourites 😍😍😋😋
I'm british and this song makes me cry. It's one of the worst things my country ever did, and we did a lot of bad things.
I agree with you pal i too am British and it took 38 years for our country to apologise for that and that really pisses me of im only 15 but im learning all about this in History
England has done a lot, and I mean a lot worse than this. But it's all history now
Cry about it while you still can. Islam is coming for you. then you'll have new things to cry about.
@@GER-sm3gh You're right about that. The world has been fooled into this. The British man who apologizes for his country has been made to feel that way and its time for that to end. There are worse things than colonialism that the world has seen and will see because of Islam. Man up everyone, stop apologizing for your countries for what theyve done in the past. Its time to save civilization from Islam's bloody grasp.
@Ric BoniWhy did you post this as a reply to me? Im opposed to Islam.
Such a huge sacrifice on Pokemon yesterday...never forget Cabbage, Dux, and Digrat,
enlighten me
Amo a voz de Bono.I love Bono 's voice.Simply amazing
U2 one of the greats ❤️💖
This song is brilliant, it's quite emotive as it not only relates to the Bloody Sunday incident in 1972, but to the troubles in Northern Ireland generally, Bono says it's not political, but it is really and what it really encapsulates is how NI was in 70's and the 80's, it was quite a dangerous place at times and they managed to create a song that is catchy and tells a story at the same time.
War never changes
I know war..... And war never changes *pans down the street*
50 years ago today, 14 young republicans protesting for freedom and liberty were shot dead by the british occupiers on the streets of Derry. rest in peace. Tiocfaidh ár lá
Bellissima canzone, l' ho sentita per la prima volta quando ero ancora bambina, io sono nata nel 1974
Thinking of Ukraine right now my thoughts and prayers are with them what has the world done
Sadly enough it is like it always was, one side attacks, cause of a small group of elites, and both countries are suffering.
Can't believe that War received negative reviews back in the 80s. Were the critics on drugs?
"classic rock" fans thought it was new wave. "new wave" fans thought it was too "classic rock". People were confused, I guess! LOL
muzikman i always knew this was new wave and so did live105. awesome song.
people are never accepting of new ideas until it becomes the norm. so dont trust critics, they just do what everyone else is doing.
It was the 80's. Everyone was on drugs.
***** Unfortunately he speaks the truth. Coca Cola had cocaine in it so I mean i'm mind blown.
Tonight in Paris , this song took a lot of sense..
True
+Deshi Basara where it really took a lot of sense all days is in Syria.
Sadly...yes
+Deshi Basara Vendredi, sanglant vendredi

This is such a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday. You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think Sunday, bloody Sunday!
Friday bloody Friday #prayforparis
+Baudry Quentin merci beaucoup or thanks you very much
I pray late but pray I do
I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
'Cause tonight
We can be as one
Tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Alright, let's go
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
'Cause tonight we can be as one, tonight
Tonight, tonight (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Tonight, tonight (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Alright, let's go
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
I'll wipe your bloodshot eyes (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
The real battle just begun (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
To claim the victory Jesus won (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
On Sunday, Bloody Sunday, yeah
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
bro did u just drop the lyrics on a lyric video😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
The real battle has begun
To claim the victory Bird Jesus won.
Perhaps U2's most important song?
If the area 51 raid actually happened all of the way and went south, this song would play
damn the onions are strong tonight :'(
Belfast - Derry RIP to everyone who died on such a horrible day, Tiocfaidh ar La !
Best U2 song
Fatass
