I have listened to this version for years. Great intro chilling mesmerizing tribute to the Irish poet, Lovely video editing and emotion. And in the world a heart of darkness A fire zone Where poets speak their heart Then bleed for it
This song was included in one of the U2 - Unauthorised Live albums which was sold in petrol stations in Australia for $6, at about the time when U2 where performing the LOVE COMES TO TOWN TOUR. These albums went like hot cakes.
Seems, ah, Samuel Beckett died on Friday. Ah, its kinda sad that he never made it home. Such a long time. But he dreamt of other roadsin other landsand of another home. So I sing this for Sam. His voice to me was like a stream Scarce heard; nor word from word could I divide The whole body of the man did seem Like one whom I have met in a dream Sam Beckett dreamt of other roads Sam beckett dreamt of other lands Of another home, of another home Where the streets have no name Take me Take me
Great song very uplifting
that "trampled in dust" at 3:37... fuck yeahhh!!!!
Pure magic

This has been my favorite U2 song since the day I heard it over 20 years ago. This is a great rendition. When was it performed?

The whole body of the man did seem
Like one whom I have met in a dream
Sam Beckett dreamt of other roads
Sam beckett dreamt of other lands
Of another home, of another home
Where the streets have no name
Take me
Take me
imagine Becket singing this..
D'oh! I'm a dummy. I just watched it again, and it says right at the beginning when it was performed. Never mind me...
Ciao Durim (TE)
@rjasper657 Your comment made no sense. Neither does your reply. In English, please?
I hate Bono. Hate him. But I love Samuel Beckett, and the drumming in this track is excellent, so it's hard not to like this video.
Conflicted.
