Every breaking wave on the shore Tells the next one there'll be one more And every gambler knows that to lose Is what you're really there for Summer I was fearless Now I speak into an answer phone Like every fallen leaf on the breeze Winter wouldn't leave it alone Alone If you go If you go your way and I go mine Are we so Are we so helpless against the tide Baby, every dog on the street Knows that we're in love with defeat Are we ready to be swept off our feet And stop chasing every breaking wave Every sailor knows that the sea Is a friend made enemy And every shipwrecked soul knows what it is To live without intimacy I thought I heard the captain's voice But it's hard to listen while you preach Like every broken wave on the shore This is as far as I could reach If you go If you go your way and I go mine Are we so Are we so helpless against the tide Baby, every dog on the street Knows that we're in love with defeat Are we ready to be swept off our feet And stop chasing every breaking wave The sea knows where are the rocks And drowning is no sin You know where my heart is The same place that yours has been And we know that we fear to win And so we end before we begin Before we begin If you go If you go your way and I go mine Are we so Are we so helpless against the tide Baby, every dog on the street Knows that we're in love with defeat Are we ready to be swept off our feet And stop chasing every breaking wave
Thx - From a shitless slave region which irritates humanism under hoon-tribe-originated-parasitism and kiki'she' collectivism which is known as the name 'Korea', whose dwellers always steals and begs from Japan's original history which clearly inherited sincere humanity in Ancient Cudara more than its 'original' dwellers in hometown.
this song feels like something from childhood, something that warms your heart and soul when something hurts inside of you, i discover this song when i was 13 and its definitely one of favorites since nowadays that im 20. thank you U2 for be who you guys are and for made what you guys made for this planet, me and so many people will be ALWAYS grateful.
U2 is a band that always shows that the world and life are not rainbows and sunshine. That life will always hit you harder than anything. However, at the same time, they will always help you with struggle.
By experimenting and not 'staying safe'. People derided them for this during their highly experimental 90's - but they were ground breaking. How many other rock bands could have produced something like Zooropa or Pop?? It also helps that they have someone like The Edge.....but all four of them are f*****g amazing.
This song talks to me so much... since 2016 each wave hit me harder and harder there seems to be No End but it make me more stronger till my last breath..
Thank You U2, for Songs of Innocence! Never before in the history of the music industry has an artist completely gave away an album.. Every Breaking Wave, and Volcano are my favorite songs from the album.. Again, Thank You..
They added to Itunes.. Make a free itunes account for an Ipad or iphone or whatever, and you'll still probably get the album free... I woke up one day and here's this U2 album on it.. People complained.. U2's official statement was "F#%K You," or something like that..
Ben halpin I didn't know that, but your facts are wrong after checking them.. Apple paid 100 mil to the albums marketing campaign which included their ads.. And the article which I'm sure you read stated either $52mil for full product, or the upfront of $5mil.. Nor apple or U2 disclosed how much they actually made..
Couldn’t agree more! As painful as this song is to me sometimes we need a little pain to reflect and move forward. And a side note I’m also from Portugal :)
In my opinion, probably their most solid, A to Z record they have done in a long time. No weak songs. The only thing that I can think of that might have brought this album down, was people felt they were forced to listen to this when Apple automatically included it in the iTunes. It was the best album released that year.
GreenJeepAdventures exactly having it on Apple Music for free to everyone gave it a bad reputation however the album is actually good and I think it’s better than songs of experience
U2 can be world famous artists in the suits of lights on stage, but their videos are completely alternative and never made in a cheesy way. Extremely artistic, probably the only famous band that completely makes the visual side interesting. A short film material. I could watch their videos the whole day and find myself amused, empowered, provoked and entertained. Brilliant.
my younger brother passed away from colon cancer 2 weeks ago. As I was cleaning up and leaving the hospital I heard music on and off. It was this song buffering on my Iphone in my pocket, all songs were deleted but this somehow played. After my wife watched the video, the ending with Sam being told "You're gonna be OK" a coincidence or something more? Am I a casualty with the war of cancer? Like that character Sam. My name is Sam and watching my brother slowly die haunts me. I've played this song every day since.

I used to leave the radio on while I slept in 1983 in hopes of hearing a beautiful new song... "New Years Day." 32 years later, this band caught me again with this song. Wow.
yep. I was 13 with my walkman on waiting to hear with or without you and i still haven’t found.. on the countdown. Been a fan for 35 years and this song, and this album is their best since POP. life changing band
U2 this is the most important video you have ever made. Anger to peace is the ultimate goal., that is U2 in essence. Every concert i have ever been to, it is about peace, loving, and unity at least at a moment. That is why it is so good, a moment of pure love.
U2, I have followed your music for the past 35 years, let me tell you, your lyrics never fail to amaze me..!!! Keep rockin your amazing music, fills the soul..!!!
Did they really need to that apple thing ? Hax they released it via the traditional method im sure it wouldve rocketed in at No1 and then leave the charts after loitering around for a few weeks. They were scared of not being heard ? The tour prior to this record sold 7m tickets..at the time a world record...unjustifiable insecurity there from the lads when they had no need to be in my view..
I first heard this song on a larry stylinson video and fell in love with it. I kept watching the video over and over and finally just got the song itself. it's amazing. this should be #1 not whatever junk is playing right now
The minute I heard this song, even after not having heard U2 in quite a while, I knew who it was. Their style is so unique that there is never a question. This song apparently came out a long while ago but I just heard it today. It just does something to the soul.
U2's music has always been great! What is truly amazing is how they have evolved in their sound! I love it! This one and Song For Someone are two of my favorites!
Very few bands are made of raw talent. A talent that doesn't fade. A bastion of true artistry. A love that spans generations. As a surprise to no one, U2 Is one of those bands.
How? Just how are we blessed with so much raw art? This is the type of music that sends each of us home and have something to think about. So compelling!
I read the original lyrics, I heard this song and I got goosebumps already. Subsequently, where I saw this ingenious music video. WOW!! A true dramatic masterpiece.
You know when Apple decided to add u2's album for free to our music app I was mad cause I couldn't erase it but then I found this song saved so I was like well okay .... Cause this song is wow
For me This is best of U2. A song full of Love, Freedom, Anger , Patriotism , Mistakes, Kindness , Forgiveness, Yes, We are human, if we destroy something, must build it again, even better
Wow the video is so powerful - The song is absolutely beautiful - It amazes me how U2 kept raising the bar for themselves over the best part of five decades - Certainly one of the greatest bands of all time - A legacy for future generations to treasure.
It wasn't easy to condense the full McArdle video into a 4:38 minutes story, but they've managed to do it very well. The story basics are still in here and it all seems coherent enough. Well done :) It's now the perfect accompaniment for this fantastic song. Thanks U2, once again. Thank you for being the soundtrack to many lives ♥
I have listened to this song for the las few years the lines “if you go you way and I go mine, are we so helpless against the tide” it hits me everytime bc it reminds me of my ex girlfriend and how painful it was for both of us let us go, honestly this type of music makes you feel more human than ever if you just listen closely
Discovered this song because for 2 days straight someone has been playing it outside my window at like 4 am on repeat ! So weird but what a beautiful song ❣
This song makes me feel better. Music is healing. ❤️❤️❤️ to everyone out there on their journey, happy to cross paths here. This song is beautiful. We can all help each other heal ☀️
So excited to see you at The Forum on May 26th. I have loved you scince I was 14 in the 1980s but never had a chance to see you. Im 45 now. Its a dream come true. God Bless ans thankyou for your awsome music through the years.. Cathy Ford.. :-)
The day my father died, suddenly from the phone I had in my pocket this song started playing for no obvious reason. It wasn’t in any of my playlists and I had never listened to it before!
Maravilloso,es un tema que me gusta muchísimo y que me identifico con el tema de lo ocurrido en Irlanda que jamás tuvo que pasar. La vida humana está por encima de todo(religión,raza,ideología,política,sexo) nadie tiene el derecho de quitar la vida a nadie. U2 por siempre y para siempre❤❤
This is the best piece of art; I was listening to this on the plane back from Bulgaria looking down at the lights of Belgium and the fainting sunset which kept getting brighter as I got closer to the UK
The greatest band ever. Great people, awesome life performances, treat their fans so well, consistent, real, and well spoken among generations that aren't saying anything that provokes thought.
Does it matter if this song or the whole album is underated?? If you have a good taste in music.. You Don't have to find the songs.. Songs will find you.. That’s the beauty of music
I never really knew what this song meant. Now I’m graduating and all my friends and I are going separate ways. It’s like an end of an era and I don’t know how to deal with this.
@@Become_A_Paid_Electronics_Tech so true. Im responding to this 7 months late and back then I was so confused and scared and turns out I’m having the best time of my life. Lost some friends along the road but I’m actually glad bc most of them were toxic
This reminds me of the time I had a profound conversation with my friend, the one I loved the most. I told her: play a song. She played this one. Never have I heard before, and I wept all over her shoulder, like I never did before. I miss her badly.
U2, I love your music so much! And I also care about the meaning of the words. My dad is a huge fan of you and since I was .. Well born I always heard your songs in the background. Thank you for taking such a big part of my and my dad's life ❤️
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 ❤️
2022 and this still rocks. It's a shame it's so underrated. This song and more songs like The Unforgettable Fire (I love that song) deserve more popularity and more than 100M views.
people bitching about the fact that this album appeared on their iPhones for no reason. Im like oh hell yes it 's a fucking great album alright, I'm still keeping it just like you lol
I’ve known about this song since the 360 tour days when this song was just a work in progress. I was in high school. I remember when this song was officially released. I was a freshman in college. The first couple weeks into a new life. U2 was transformative for my psyche. This song takes me back to the crisp air and the innocence of being a kid in northern MN. A town very much the feel of what Dublin is. This song breathes life. This song is special to me.
I only listen to hip hop but this song is fuckin beautiful. The lyrics, the vocals, the instrumental, the video, it's simply amazing, it even makes me overthinking.
Angel San gotta get into more u2 songs. They are fantastic. The song "kite" is even more emotional and pulls on your heart strings even more!th-cam.com/video/ZnTcjlcDkmE/w-d-xo.html
Check out the song California and Unforgettable Fire and so on... also listen to The Killers ... u will dig them... i grew up in Boogie Down Bronx went to High School w Sean Combs till 11th grade and im a musician ... trust me .. open your mind to other great music ... u will be glad u did.
lol i rmbr getting this recommended on my SoundCloud when i was a freshman in high school …. i even wrote this song name in my journal that i used to write in back when i was a young teen bc i liked it so much …… so nostalgic and weird that I’m 21 now but this song still really makes me emotional for sum reason idk but crazy how we all have those songs that we have that can make us rmbr exactly what point in our life we were at …. bittersweet moments (-,:
I grew up with U2 from my parents, and listening back on a lot of their songs as an older and growing individual, the lyrics and messages they convey to their audience is truly outstanding and uplifting. I finally understand and breathe these lyrics. Thank you U2 for your amazing and inspirational music. The memories will forever remain in my heart of all the car rides you’ve accompanied me with in my childhood years…
When this song came out. I was broken I had spiralled out of control, I had a gambling addiction and couldn’t find away out. It took me 3 years to completely banish my demons and finally became free on 20/6/2019
I first saw this music video when I was around 11-12 years old and never understood how it related to the song, and didn't like it. I'm seeing it now at 18 and crying. I see how they correlate, this song is beautiful and this video is very moving.
I have liked a couple U2 songs over the years, but had never heard this one, until my dad was listening to it on TH-cam a few weeks ago. Now I'm hooked; I've listened to it 3 times so far! I also didn't know Ryan Tedder co-produced this song!
i remember when i would work out of town and had no cell service i would listen to u2s free album on my phone for a while till i got service this song remind me of the simpler times now

Oh yeah
yes omg the feels
Edwin Reyes yeeeesss
Every breaking wave on the shore
Tells the next one there'll be one more
And every gambler knows that to lose
Is what you're really there for
Summer I was fearless
Now I speak into an answer phone
Like every fallen leaf on the breeze
Winter wouldn't leave it alone
Alone
If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless against the tide
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave
Every sailor knows that the sea
Is a friend made enemy
And every shipwrecked soul knows what it is
To live without intimacy
I thought I heard the captain's voice
But it's hard to listen while you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This is as far as I could reach
If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless against the tide
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave
The sea knows where are the rocks
And drowning is no sin
You know where my heart is
The same place that yours has been
And we know that we fear to win
And so we end before we begin
Before we begin
If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless against the tide
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave

i love this song.... the album, it hasn't grown on me still, but this song, is awesome....
Shevins Kunjumon 🇹🇲🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
this albums have absolute gems on it: Iris, Cedarwood Road, the Troubles, Raised by Wolves... Crystal Ballroom (on the Deluxe Edition)
its actually my favorite from them ...
How can a rock band stay fresh and contemporary and accomplished for 40 years and not sound dated or worn out?
I think they know how to adjust to the time period but won't go to the trash most modern music is.
By experimenting and not 'staying safe'. People derided them for this during their highly experimental 90's - but they were ground breaking. How many other rock bands could have produced something like Zooropa or Pop?? It also helps that they have someone like The Edge.....but all four of them are f*****g amazing.
Just incredible. Shows the talent.

Easily: They are one of the greatest bands of the last 50 years.

One of the greatest songs in the last 40 years...stirs every string of the soul
The day my father died, suddenly from the phone I had in my pocket this song started playing for no obvious reason. It wasn’t in any of my playlists and I had never listened to it before!
Maravilloso,es un tema que me gusta muchísimo y que me identifico con el tema de lo ocurrido en Irlanda que jamás tuvo que pasar.
La vida humana está por encima de todo(religión,raza,ideología,política,sexo) nadie tiene el derecho de quitar la vida a nadie.
U2 por siempre y para siempre❤❤
This is the best piece of art; I was listening to this on the plane back from Bulgaria looking down at the lights of Belgium and the fainting sunset which kept getting brighter as I got closer to the UK
The greatest band ever. Great people, awesome life performances, treat their fans so well, consistent, real, and well spoken among generations that aren't saying anything that provokes thought.
This is up their with some of their best work.
Amazing to think of their longevity and to still make songs that are not just album fillers
Does it matter if this song or the whole album is underated?? If you have a good taste in music.. You Don't have to find the songs.. Songs will find you.. That’s the beauty of music
This is big facts
Can't agree more
Amen
I never really knew what this song meant. Now I’m graduating and all my friends and I are going separate ways. It’s like an end of an era and I don’t know how to deal with this.
" end of an era and I don’t know how to deal with this. " Then it's up to YOU to start a new one, a new era.....
@@Become_A_Paid_Electronics_Tech a new era..
a beautiful one
Let go or be dragged
I’m getting dragged back to bed
@@Become_A_Paid_Electronics_Tech so true. Im responding to this 7 months late and back then I was so confused and scared and turns out I’m having the best time of my life. Lost some friends along the road but I’m actually glad bc most of them were toxic
everytime i listen to this song my heart gets so soft and my soul heals completely
Anybody else obsessed with the instrumentals after 4:00? I need to have a full hour of those instrumentals playing in repeat
This reminds me of the time I had a profound conversation with my friend, the one I loved the most. I told her: play a song. She played this one. Never have I heard before, and I wept all over her shoulder, like I never did before. I miss her badly.
U2, I love your music so much! And I also care about the meaning of the words. My dad is a huge fan of you and since I was .. Well born I always heard your songs in the background.
Thank you for taking such a big part of my and my dad's life ❤️
Me encanta su música, me transmiten muchísimo. Me hacen hacerla cantar a todo pulmón. ¡Los amo!
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 ❤️
Most underrated song ever!!!
Great!
Try Archive - Again
Yeah, over 25 million views is "underrated". Underrated according to who? Just you?
2022 and this still rocks. It's a shame it's so underrated. This song and more songs like The Unforgettable Fire (I love that song) deserve more popularity and more than 100M views.
Absolutely incredible new video from U2VEVO!
この曲、、懐かしい、、
幼いころに父さんがやけに車で流してた曲だった。もうずっと流してなかったから忘れかけてたけど聞いたらすぐに思い出した。昔が懐かしくなったありがとう😌
The memories this song brings every time I listen to it .. can't be described 💔
2022 and I still hanging there 💙
❤️❤️❤️
❤❤ still one of my favourites from U2
I’m listening to U2 Every Breaking Wave mid April 2023
This song is amazing.
Lots of Love from Africa 😊
best free music ever for Iphone :D
Not free anymore :'(
Really? :) I'm so lucky :)
people bitching about the fact that this album appeared on their iPhones for no reason. Im like oh hell yes it 's a fucking great album alright, I'm still keeping it just like you lol
Jake V. I couldn't care less ^^
+Mert Tunç Iphone mmmmm BIG SHIT
I’ve known about this song since the 360 tour days when this song was just a work in progress. I was in high school. I remember when this song was officially released. I was a freshman in college. The first couple weeks into a new life. U2 was transformative for my psyche. This song takes me back to the crisp air and the innocence of being a kid in northern MN. A town very much the feel of what Dublin is. This song breathes life. This song is special to me.
I only listen to hip hop but this song is fuckin beautiful. The lyrics, the vocals, the instrumental, the video, it's simply amazing, it even makes me overthinking.
Angel San gotta get into more u2 songs. They are fantastic. The song "kite" is even more emotional and pulls on your heart strings even more!th-cam.com/video/ZnTcjlcDkmE/w-d-xo.html
so much amazing music out there. I've given all of it a try. Glad you're finding new stuff.
Check out the song California and Unforgettable Fire and so on... also listen to The Killers ... u will dig them... i grew up in Boogie Down Bronx went to High School w Sean Combs till 11th grade and im a musician ... trust me .. open your mind to other great music ... u will be glad u did.
U might like it but listen to stories for boys
How can hiphop listeners overthink!
lol i rmbr getting this recommended on my SoundCloud when i was a freshman in high school …. i even wrote this song name in my journal that i used to write in back when i was a young teen bc i liked it so much …… so nostalgic and weird that I’m 21 now but this song still really makes me emotional for sum reason idk but crazy how we all have those songs that we have that can make us rmbr exactly what point in our life we were at …. bittersweet moments (-,:
Had heard the song a year ago. saw the music video today. Goosebumps! Really great!
I grew up with U2 from my parents, and listening back on a lot of their songs as an older and growing individual, the lyrics and messages they convey to their audience is truly outstanding and uplifting. I finally understand and breathe these lyrics. Thank you U2 for your amazing and inspirational music. The memories will forever remain in my heart of all the car rides you’ve accompanied me with in my childhood years…
When this song came out. I was broken I had spiralled out of control, I had a gambling addiction and couldn’t find away out. It took me 3 years to completely banish my demons and finally became free on 20/6/2019
Their catalog is amazing!!! One of the greatest bands of all time!!!
This is just phenomenal music ,U2 are just incredible , too bad not many people nowadays listen to this type of music let alone understand it .
If you go, If you go your way I go mine. I really love you U2. I sing this song with my daughter every time I can. Bless you and cheers from Chile!!!
I first saw this music video when I was around 11-12 years old and never understood how it related to the song, and didn't like it. I'm seeing it now at 18 and crying. I see how they correlate, this song is beautiful and this video is very moving.
OK, so how do they correlate ?
You know where my heart is
The same place that yours has been
And we know that we fear to win
And so we end before we begin
Before we begin
I still feel that this is the best ever U2 ever video
I have liked a couple U2 songs over the years, but had never heard this one, until my dad was listening to it on TH-cam a few weeks ago. Now I'm hooked; I've listened to it 3 times so far! I also didn't know Ryan Tedder co-produced this song!
U2 hits the spot so hard with this song, definitely their best modern song in my opinion.
Agreed
This is one of the most awesome music videos I've seen in years really portrays a message I wasn't bored at all. Very strong emotions
Best U2 song ever for me
You must hear "In a little while" bro
Mine too.
Mine too!
i remember when i would work out of town and had no cell service i would listen to u2s free album on my phone for a while till i got service this song remind me of the simpler times now
My dad loves U2. He got me into this song
Essa banda, as suas músicas são pra cima. Sempre levanta sua estima. E é isso que precisamos. Por isso nunca jamais me cansarei de ouvi-las.
Gostei
@Dinaldson Madeira lembre do peter gabriel plays live duplo cd ;secret world dvd com paula cole Dont give up Kate Bush ..alanparsons da carta etc

I love this music, i love U2 forever.
This song encompasses life in the moment, how it's all broken into different waves, small and large.
