I think this is one of their best songs. So absolutely gorgeous.❤ Over 40 years old and still a brilliant masterpiece. That driving bass and beautiful guitar.💃
Still great after all these years. The memories this song envokes on all of these New Years Days and beyond. Thank you U2 for such an amazing, hauntingly beautiful tune.
I used to hear and watch this on MTV in 1983 and always found the video intriguing. In 2023, after many New Year's days have come and gone,"nothing changes!" It's still a masterpiece!
Almost the same thing here. I was at a friends house in 82 and had never watched MTV, so he put it on and this was the video that was playing. I was pretty young and had never seen or heard anything like it. I was captivated as well, and for some reason, still remember that moment to this day.
For me U2 wrote best songs music words are magic one most special bads ever music industry they came Dublin Ireland new year's was my favourite song also video
My wonderful, incredible, sweet husband was not a fan of the New Year’s Day holiday. He loved this song because Bono says “Nothing changes on New Year’s Day.” My late husband agreed with that thought. Sadly he lost his life at 54 to cancer. I miss him every single minute of the day. RIP Frankie ♥️♥️♥️
It's not just a song but a masterpiece and a hit. It's so amazing this hit is 41. Who's listening to this masterpiece in 2k24? Masterpiece forever and ever
*The guitar on this album is unreal. It was a high water mark for tone, warmth, and depth, which is rarely met even now, like 4 decades later.* The production is also immaculate. One of those “best albums of all time” sorta things.
Unlike anything else on MTV at the time. A band on horseback in the bitter cold, their instruments slung across their backs like weapons. Rock warriors. This video and Sunday Bloody Sunday from Under a Blood Red Sky ignited my U2 passion.
One of the most important songs of the 80s,U2 really brought something fresh and sexy to the worn out rock style as did The Police. Something radically different.
Old U2 are simply the best. With this song they made another great step back then. It's so nocturnal, european and beautiful, yet full of power and intensity. This track is magic, never gets old.
@@patriciapetit1542 European homes win the match (regardless Bono's & Edge's US's mansions) and even do so Irish ones. Doesn't mean pretty much anyway, they lost their path since decades ago, but this WAR era legacy is keeping the gold beating on.
My daughter kept telling me, how awesome I had it to live through 80s music. I think I get what she means. I've always taken it for granted. Plus, with the mechanized music today --autotune, all instrumental sounds digitized, etc., I figured today's kids would think 80s stuff was boring and old fashioned. But they're listening guys, they're listening. And they're diggin' it.
What is the best song ever written? It depends on what it means to you. Based on when I grew up, and what I was doing in 1983, this will forever be the song that is most dear to me in my life, even if I only listen to it rarely nowadays. It's "my" song because it was my soundtrack at a key point of coming of age; it felt so fresh back then, and the guitar solo was like nothing else I had heard before. (And the longer album version is better than the radio-edit version which is this one.)
I grew up with U2. Not always been a huge fan. Have to give credit where it's due. This is a timeless masterpiece. The albums The Joshua Tree and The Unforgettable Fire are my favourites.
Nothing changes on New Years Day. We are in a totally different day and age now. The world is so much more crazy than it was many many years ago. Thanks U2 for giving us this masterpiece.
Isn’t it? Wow. Listening today it’s just so amazing. Never noticed how amazing! I’ve been a huge fan since 1983. They have been a great companion in my life through all the ups & downs.
I’ve listened to this every New Years Day since Jan. 1, 1984. On LP, on cassette tape, on CD, on DVD, and eventually streaming. What’s next, I wonder? ❤️
I don't care for Bono's views on politics or many other things, ( I don't know about the other members of the band) but one thing is for certain, this is one of the greatest bands of the entire 20th Century. But really, it's all about an artist's art and what they produce; who and what they are outside of that should be irrelevant.
Thank You for this amazing Song. I play this on every NEW YEARS DAY. Saw this performed in person for the Joshua Tree reunion Tour in Toronto. So good to hear they don't make songs like this any more. "Some say this is the golden age, gold is the reason for the wars we wage.."
Beautiful and heart wrenching. The music is second to none...subject matter is relevant, the video captures the despair of Ireland in the 80's. Wonderful band. I love this song.
One of my favorite music videos of all time PERIOD!! Very beautifully filmed especially with the horses running through the snow with the sunlight coming through the trees. Just gorgeous!!
I met them in Stockholm the day before they went up to the north of Sweden to make this video. Bono was really nice, talked about God and bought me an ice cream!!!
I was 17 when this song came out in 83. This song was EPIC at the time. Alternative music was starting to get real popular. It was an awesome time to see bands like U2, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Duran Duran etc rise up from the alternative scene and become the successes they were. And a great time to be 17…
New Years Day by U2 is a masterpiece of a song, the spellbinding lyrics vocals and music all have the potential to move a music listener to a higher place emotionally andor spiritually.
Yeah All is quiet on New Year's Day A world in white gets underway I want to be with you Be with you, night and day Nothing changes on New Year's Day On New Year's Day I will be with you again I will be with you again Under a blood red sky A crowd has gathered in black and white Arms entwined, the chosen few The newspapers says, says Say it's true, it's true And we can break through Though torn in two We can be one I, I will begin again I, I will begin again Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Ah, maybe the time is right Oh, maybe tonight I will be with you again I will be with you again And so we're told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage Though I want to be with you, be with you Night and day Nothing changes On New Year's Day On New Year's Day On New Year's Day
There's great stuff being made now, you just have to look outside the mainstream. Plenty of goth bands (old and new) are making great music. Kaelen Mikla, Lebanon Hanover, Pink Turns Blue, etc.
Agreed and this goes deeper than you may actually be aware. FREEMASONRY is the worlds oldest religion in terms of not the institution but the teachings of the 'evil' Enoch from the bible. Yes there are TWO enochs. And its Freemasonry that manipulates world events with the roman papal power which is why you find occult symbolism in movies, albums, music videos, and even the all seeing eye on american money.
Probably the best song ever recorded. My Daughter passed away at 34 in a horrible traffic accident, I miss her so much, but I know I will be with her again! God bless and tell your kids you love them EVERY day because you never know what tomorrow brings!
I am very sorry for your loss. "The rest of those who have gone before us, cannot steady the unrest of those to follow". - from Finding Forrester. Thank you for the words of wisdom, and God bless.
The song that introduced me to U2, damn, what a decade of music the 80's were. I was 12yrs old in 83' trying to figure things out . I was poor as dirt but so was everyone I knew but I had my MTV, Night tracks on TBS on friday nights, and Kasey Kassem Top 10 on Saturday mornings. The decades passed and I made a good life for myself financially and personally. I crawled out of that small Florida town and have everything a man can want materially now, however, there's still that little poor Florida boy who looks me back in the mirror every morning and smiles, knowing he got me here where I am today. If I had a time machine I would go back and find that poor 12yr boy, shake his hand and tell him, don't change a god damn thing, you will proud of yourself later...and you'll be watching this music again, just not on MTV. Don't worry you'll understand when you get there.
You're my age,same as far as MTV and Florida native here! 80-89 exploded with all genres,sub genre's and new sub genres like Grunge 89-95. Pretty kick ass decade
Man, I am weeping right now after reading this. TN here, but pretty much same story. My brother, we made it so much farther than we or anyone else thought we would. Rock on, GenX. These songs were our teachers, and good ones. we will persevere.
Me parece increíble el sonido de esta canción así como otras de U2 para la época en la que se lanzaron, este tema tranquilamente podría ser de inicios de los 00's o a fines, estuvieron muy adelantados a mi parecer, y eso los hace más especiales de lo que ya son como grupo.
"Nothing changes on New Year's Day." The guitar solo gets me every time. It just screams. I've always considered The Edge to be underrated. "War" was released in 1983. It's now 2023. What's happening? War.
Song is phenomenal! The driving bassline the drums, the piano melody and the incredible solo by the Edge! Then Bono belting it out! Also the song is relaxed! There is a lot of space and melody placement over the driving rhythm! Y’all already know! You just don’t here epic shit like this song these days! Especially a 4 piece! Arcade Fire came close and I love Radiohead! But this song is U2 at their finest!
I agree, I was a teen back in the day, Loved this song & still do...Love U2...bcuz they Rock to this day!!!😁😘, this is just 1 of my U2 faves!!! Perfect!!!
Young men in their early 20s producing masterpieces such as New Year's Day, Gloria, Sunday Bloody Sunday... you have to be born for it, there is no other explanation. 40 years later, it's just as powerful and breathtaking as when it first came out
41 years and this song is still a banger on New Year's Day
Yep. I have to hear it every year! 🎆🥂
I agree with you ❤
They need to play this song after the ball drops at midnight! I've always listened to this song every new year!
Happy New Year!
Happy 2024!
I think this is one of their best songs. So absolutely gorgeous.❤ Over 40 years old and still a brilliant masterpiece. That driving bass and beautiful guitar.💃
40 years. God has it been that long. I am only 39.
who can listen to that rap and funk stuff when you have this
dm My friend, the only video on your channel is Blondie, who shot to fame ripping off precisely that rap and funk stuff 😂
To me, their best song
Defining U2 sound and song!!
i cant belive its published 41 years ago, Whether it's the lyrics or the melody, it still surpasses the majority of rock works of this era
This song was way ahead of its time, when I first heard it I thought it was a song from 1998 but when I searched it was from 1983 o_O
yes yes yes
Juste no IS ACDC before 😂😂
Still great after all these years. The memories this song envokes on all of these New Years Days and beyond. Thank you U2 for such an amazing, hauntingly beautiful tune.
My favorite song of all time. A complete masterpiece! Sounds as fresh in 2023 as it did 40 years ago.
❤ my favourite song also. I love it today as much as I did when it was released.

I love the crisp, infectious rhythm
Yes, and the bass part is a big part of that!
I remember this song from 1983 on MTV. MTV played this all the time when I was in high school at that time. MEMORIES!!!!
My mind can not comprehend that this song is 41 years old. I just can not.
to remember that time does not stop...
Raw talent. We rarely have music that’s like this anymore. Now it’s all digitalised.
The first song I listen to on the first day of every year. Happy 2024, everyone!
Happy New Year's Day! Perfect song to celebrate it with!
Yep, i play it every year. hny!
I try to listen to this song every New Year's Day! Like a tradition for me!

Loved from the first time I heard it over half a lifetime ago!
Clayton's bass. So much simultaneous depth and elasticity.
The story goes that Adam Clayton tried to emulate the bassline from the visage song fade to grey.Almost succeeded.
I was never a fan of these guys, but this song is a masterpiece.
I am a huge fan of "these guys" 😂 and agree that this song is a masterpiece! ❤

Been listening to this on New Year's Day since it was released. It hasn't lost its awesomeness in all that time.
Just brilliant.
Exactly I'm not sure I think I watched it on its debut on MTV
Where are you from?
It's New Year's Day 2024 and this song is still as fresh as ever
Close 2025
Awesome song
That Guitar!
Back when U2 was unknown, they played at Mayfest, SUNY-Albany, NY, 1983. Cold, windy day, but god what a performance.
That sounds like an amazing time. Born in 83 here.
It's not just a song but a masterpiece and a hit. It's so amazing this hit is 41. Who's listening to this masterpiece in 2k24? Masterpiece forever and ever
🤝🔥❤
64 and still rocking to older U2.
Finally on youtube, one of my all time favorite songs

That’s nice and all. But it’s way more than just a song ! 👀❤️

Finally no politics just enjoying such great music.
So beautiful- getting goosebumps listening to it after a while. Turns out that 80s and 90s music have aged amazingly well. This included.

I find myself humming the bass more than singing along…
Classic. Never will go out of style. I'm 56 and still one of my favorite songs
@@amyroiko8083 55 here my friend

Thanks Rick Beato
Same for Gloria

Thanks U2, for helping me through difficult times.
Big hugs x
Together longer than the Beatles . For a rock band 🎸 ??? Raw talent no filters ! You will never see a band sadly , like them again ! Enjoy remember
One of the most iconic rock songs ever!
War is their best album and one the greatest rock records ever made!
Everyone else has instruments, why no microphone for the singer to hold?
I discovered U2 in 1984 when I was 12. I went to the Joshua Tree Tour in 1987 when I was a sophomore in high school here in Illinois, USA.
nice
When your country is at war, this song hits differently... It's true that nothing changes on new year's day.
Sending loving thoughts and prayers for peace
Bono is supporting you!
What is the best song ever written? It depends on what it means to you. Based on when I grew up, and what I was doing in 1983, this will forever be the song that is most dear to me in my life, even if I only listen to it rarely nowadays. It's "my" song because it was my soundtrack at a key point of coming of age; it felt so fresh back then, and the guitar solo was like nothing else I had heard before. (And the longer album version is better than the radio-edit version which is this one.)
Listening to the greatest band in the world on new years day 2024
I grew up with U2. Not always been a huge fan. Have to give credit where it's due. This is a timeless masterpiece. The albums The Joshua Tree and The Unforgettable Fire are my favourites.
Nothing changes on New Years Day. We are in a totally different day and age now. The world is so much more crazy than it was many many years ago. Thanks U2 for giving us this masterpiece.
Love it
I listen to this song every January 1st. "Nothing changes on New Year's Day". Masterpiece.

If you played this at 11:57 on New Year's Eve the guitar solo will almost start on perfect time
I am black man from the projects of Savannah Ga, I realize this is one of the most powerful bands I ever heard. A huge huge fan.😑😑😑

All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway

Be with you, night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Ah, maybe the time is right
Oh, maybe tonight
I will be with you again
I will be with you again

And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you, be with you
Night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
Damn i"m getting old, but you can't beat classic 80s music. This is so much better than what you get today.
So true (thats coning from someone young)
There's great stuff being made now, you just have to look outside the mainstream. Plenty of goth bands (old and new) are making great music. Kaelen Mikla, Lebanon Hanover, Pink Turns Blue, etc.
In regards to pop music yes. In the more heavy spectrum, we have evolved as a musical genre.
Getting paid and advances worked wonders for the talent.
Particularly from U2.
Gold isn't really the reason for the wars we wage, it's religion.
Agreed and this goes deeper than you may actually be aware. FREEMASONRY is the worlds oldest religion in terms of not the institution but the teachings of the 'evil' Enoch from the bible. Yes there are TWO enochs. And its Freemasonry that manipulates world events with the roman papal power which is why you find occult symbolism in movies, albums, music videos, and even the all seeing eye on american money.
No its human nature. Things like religion and gold are just the excuses.

You're my age,same as far as MTV and Florida native here! 80-89 exploded with all genres,sub genre's and new sub genres like Grunge 89-95. Pretty kick ass decade
Glad you made it out of hard times , never give up I guess
Man, I am weeping right now after reading this. TN here, but pretty much same story. My brother, we made it so much farther than we or anyone else thought we would. Rock on, GenX. These songs were our teachers, and good ones. we will persevere.
Still listening to this masterpiece on New Year’s Day. 1st January 2024.
Happy New Year to everyone 👍
Every new year I come back to this song
Me parece increíble el sonido de esta canción así como otras de U2 para la época en la que se lanzaron, este tema tranquilamente podría ser de inicios de los 00's o a fines, estuvieron muy adelantados a mi parecer, y eso los hace más especiales de lo que ya son como grupo.
"Nothing changes on New Year's Day."
The guitar solo gets me every time. It just screams. I've always considered The Edge to be underrated. "War" was released in 1983. It's now 2023. What's happening? War.
It has been war for 5000 years.
Yeah his one string solos really put others like batio in shame
It’s almost 2025. What’s (still) happening? (more) war.
Peace and blessings to the whole world, happy 2024 🎉🎉😊
I'm not a big U2 fan, but this song is really up to date, and so is the name of the album: WAR
U2 só tem obras de arte! Essa é uma das minhas preferidas... quando eu tiver meu carro vou ouvir esse som no talo
*Happy 40th anniversary to this timeless classic!*
Ouvindo essa música da vontade só de chorar, ela é uma mistura de tudo, é linda, triste, trágica, agoniante, emocionante e etc, mas é maravilhosa
Oxe, eu tenho às mesmas sensações 😲
Exatamente!
" These times are not changing.
" BROKEN LAND. " THE ADVENTURES.
Who else is here New Year's day 2022? Timeless music!
One of best intros ever
I watched this on a show called Real Videos before I had MTV. I'd tune into the show just to see this video. One of my favorite U2 songs.
I remember that show. On the TBN network along with other religious artists.
I am 50. I listen it day by day, every 31 of december(all day repeat), every 1st of new year day....loud very loud......best song ever...
Happ new year (2024) from The Netherlands!!🎉🎇🎆🌌
Song is phenomenal! The driving bassline the drums, the piano melody and the incredible solo by the Edge! Then Bono belting it out! Also the song is relaxed! There is a lot of space and melody placement over the driving rhythm! Y’all already know! You just don’t here epic shit like this song these days! Especially a 4 piece! Arcade Fire came close and I love Radiohead! But this song is U2 at their finest!
I agree, I was a teen back in the day, Loved this song & still do...Love U2...bcuz they Rock to this day!!!😁😘, this is just 1 of my U2 faves!!! Perfect!!!
@@terrinichols888well said sum it up perfectly for those who can't understand why they love music or a certain song
It’s been my tradition for years now to play this song on New Year’s Day. Cheers 🥂 🍻
Since the '80's. I will begin again
Cheers 🥂
Happy new year!
Me too
Me too👍
I feel like it's customary to listen to this song every New Years Day. Very fitting song
Young men in their early 20s producing masterpieces such as New Year's Day, Gloria, Sunday Bloody Sunday... you have to be born for it, there is no other explanation. 40 years later, it's just as powerful and breathtaking as when it first came out
Lol. None of those songs are better than this.
In the name of love comes Close but this song is utter genius
Couldn't explained better!!! Their early years are timeless!! To me impossible no to feel nostalgia of what music has become!! Very disappointed!!
