It’s indeed about a toxic relationship, a twisted love song is what Bono called it himself. It has all the twists, doubts and beauty of real relationships in it. It’s not a lovey dovey song, though people still play it on their weddings apparently: they must not listen to the lyrics :-) The song recently reached a billion streams on Spotify.
I’ve seen them 21 times. There is nothing like a U2 concert. You really need to explore their discography and check out more of their live performances.
I think there a band you must have lived under a rock if you hadn't heard of U2. They are the best live band on the planet. They have recently finished a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas they were the first Act to play there.
Excellent reaction and lyrical interpretation. U2's "With or Without You" will always be one the best tracks by any musical act in general. Glad you covered this band, thank you. If you want to hear another gem, check out U2's song "One" off of their innovative and highly successful 90's breakthrough album *Achtung Baby.* In fact, every song appearing on the entire album of "Achtung Baby" is worth reacting to, in my humble opinion. God bless you and yours. 😊
I've heard this song a thousand times before, but only recently has it--unfortunately--resonated with me so much. Really appreciate hearing about your own experience and how applicable it is to the song. I know heartache is just a part of life, but sometimes it's just comforting to be able to relate w/ someone else's story.
I could barely see the actually video, but I do agree, there are much better live versions than this one. U2 is my fav and since 1987. I hope you explore then more
hey bossman, you ever hear of the band The Warning? only asking cause the next video on this video recommended was this video was... The Warning automatic Sun... and holy shit. idk where them ladies came from but they can jam. like thank you youtube algo. lol
I'm glad you're telling us that one of the most recognized and popular bands in the history of music is a band. Are you going to react to Elvis next and tell us that you think he's a solo artist?
Agreed. The album version of this song is much better than this version. Some people are experts at phrasing in a song; (Willie Nelson comes to mind). Bono is not one of them.
Thank goodness I went to the Joshua Tree concert when this album was released, Holy Cow! What an amazing concert and this song is my favorite off that album...
Well, that was 37 years ago, dude’s older (and he smoked for a while in the 90’s and did a number on his voice). He’s still a good singer though. Also, when you’ve sung a song every day for 37 years you might not WANT to do it the same way every time
Bono's voice has changed so much throughout the years. Still heavenly and the rest of the band musically is stellar.
U2 is the greatest rock band of the last 40 years and the biggest live band of the last 35 years
U2 is one of the most amazing bands of all time.

Should have heard him sing this when he was a young man! Check out Live in Boston 2001

Joshua Tree allbum is a banger...please listen to "running to stand still"....you will love it surely too
Running To Stand Still & All I Need Is You
@@GrungeForward yes good idea Kyle
Were you living under a rock for the past few decades? How come you don't know U2 😅
Ross and Rachel

Listen to the original recording or the earlier video.

🤣😂
No that's when they were a duo. They got another band member and became U3.
You think they’re a band 😳🤣
Why is this reactor always displaying 1 eye symbol 🤔
Not the best live version of this song

@@MargaretRosenbalm 37 years ago i still think it sounds good, bono has had worse days later in his life for sure
Not nearly as well sung as the original video. He just doesn’t have the voice anymore

I've heard better rhythm sections in an elementary school band
I very much highly doubt that sir
@@DaLaxer98Haters be hating. Pitiful, really.
overrated band
Underrated band.
