U2 - You’re The Best Thing About Me (Official Video)

- The official music video for You're The Best Thing About Me by U2.
The video, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, sees the members of U2 revelling in the sights and sounds of New York City, where as a young Dublin band they played their first U.S. club gig in December 1980 beginning a love affair with the city which has endured for almost 40 years. Shot in 2017 while the band were on tour and featuring U2 in performance, the video is a fitting backdrop for You’re The Best Thing About Me - Bono’s love letter to his wife Ali - and serves as a visual tapestry of tribute to New York and a serenade to the city’s iconic symbols of American compassion and liberty.

Lyrics:
When you look so good
The pain in your face doesn't show
When you look so good
and baby you don't even know
When the world is ours
But the world is not your kind of thing
Full of shooting stars
Brighter as they're vanishing
Oh you've seen enough to know it's children who teach
You're still free enough to wake up on a bed or a beach.
You're the best thing about me
The best thing that ever happened a boy
You're the best thing about me
I'm the kind of trouble that you enjoy
You're the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy
You're the best thing about me
The best thing about me
I've been crying out
How bad can a good time be
Shooting off my mouth
That's another great thing about me
I have everything but I feel like nothing at all
There's no risky thing for a man who's determined to fall
You're the best thing about me
The best thing that ever happened a boy
You're the best thing about me
I'm the kind of trouble that you enjoy
You're the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy
You're the best thing about me
Why am I
Why am I walking away
Why am I walking away?
I can see it all so clearly
I can see what you can't see
I can see you love her loudly
When she needs you quietly
You're the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy
You're the best thing about me
Why am I
Why am I walking away (walking away)
Why am I walking away? - เพลง
I'm 54 years old... and have been loving this band since 1981...!!!!!!!!! "They're the best thing about me!!"
@Matthew Clay 59 years old been loving this great band since '81as well. Seen them 43 times since. My 1st show was in Limelight in NYC in '81. And yes, musically they are 1 of the best things about me!!!
@@JR-zv6qm You've seen them in concert 43 times? That's AWESOME!! I've only seen them 20 times (so far). First time was The Unforgettable Fire Tour on April 18, 1985 at the Worcester Centrum in Worcester, MA. Boy, how time flies!
me too ! i'm 44 years old
I am waiting for the concerts the U2😊
Ha ha, I'm 44 now and have been fan of U2 for 20yrs now, welcome to the club!
I;ve been a fan since i was 20 and I'm now 63 and they still rock!
Fair play man,i got the bug when i was 15 now 51 and still rocking to u2,they say you cant beat perfection. Keep rocking mate
Me too!! My kids grew up in U2. My 41 yo son is a die hard fan like us!!
Great fan.. Me too. Always u2
I have been a fan of U2 since I first heard "The Joshua Tree" album in 1988. I was 17 years young and now, I am 50. I was the only black kid in my classes who listened to U2 in high school!
@JAYDEN more like 9 years old
One of the best bands in history
I'm 34 and I'm still listening to U2. Since 14. There's something really serious about this band.
I got you beat, im 49 and have been listening since 18 :)
Yo de los 14 años, ahora 34
Ditto and I was about to say the same damn thing. Seeing The Joshua Tree tour last year was a religious experience.
I beat you both, I am 158yo and have been a fan since the glint in milkman's eye :-)
I'm 49 and listening since I first heard "I Will Follow" back in 1982. I was hooked immediately...and I'm still hooked.
BEST BAND EVER! Brazil loves you!
Guilherme Silva YES😍
YESSSS the boys are back 👍🏻😃
Exactly so i fan them
Why won't they be using threads?
This is one of their best songs ever created. Brings me to tears of joy listening to this. ❤
one of the 3 best things to come from ireland...guinness, tayto crisps, and of course U2
A love letter to New York City. Nice one U2!
40 years of career and always on top :)
what a pleasure !!! look forward to having their last album in their hands!
U2 THE BEST THING FOR US
You might not like him but you can't deny, Bono has a great voice
Actually I can - and do deny Matt. Can I call you Matt? Paul had a pretty good voice, but there are LOTS of people who have good voices. Go anywhere - from subways of Paris to the subways of Paris and you will see lots MORE people with truly great voices
eddy gee would some random subway player have you commenting on a comment about their music video? Think not
@@eddygee816 people like you make me cringe
@@eddygee816 Yep, but it takes much more than just a great voice. Bono has it all.
@@bradgaines He has a strong voice, but there is nothing remarkable about it. In fact it is quite ordinary, lacks originality, and contributes little creativeness -in both vocals and songwriting, which is essentially prozac laced horseshit. More to the point; what is the 'all' you refer to? ...his glasses? his hat? ...is he a good dancer Brad?
I have 18 and I'm appreciating some U2 songs.
Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹
Larry has to be the most focused drumer in rock and roll. No showboating or headbanging, his playing speaks for itself.
Yes. U2 is my band and I am honored to be part of all of this.
19 years old but a very big fan of U2♥️♥️My dad introduced these kind of songs to me
I am just 16 and my dad did the same
i am just 12 , my dad did the same haha
you are on the right track ❤️👍
I was 14 when i started listening to U2. Now I’m 14
I was 3 now I’m 13
@@mysticedge4 hhhhh. WTF!!🤭😁👍
14 here too. started at 9 yo.
a lifelong addiction I see😂
I was 12 a few dekades ago and I'm 12 still
U2..Soundtrack of my life
My life as well😉
Yes me too. Love them.
I tend to mark time by U2 album releases. Ever since The Unforgettable Fire!
same here😍
G nencini Yeah, there is a U2 song for every moment in your life...
My favorite band in the world!
Much love for these guys!
U2 is the best Rock Band Hall of Time 🇧🇷
U earned a like for having good taste in music
Amen!!
U2 the best in the world number one!!!!!
It has been 40 years since Larry's flyer, and they are still together. Sticking together thru the good and not so good times. Continuously morphing their style and still being revelant for decades, defiant when critics said they were done. Making a difference in this world by bringing awareness to countless of issues. Keep going, you boys from Dublin, don't you ever change!
What was “Larry’s flyer” please explain
@@elliot7753 Larry wrote a note that said drummer looking for musicians to start a rock band and posted it on his school bulletin board then edge Adam and bono showed up the rest is history
Im approaching 50 & have been a massive fan since my early teens,fortunate to have seen U2 live 12 times from roundhay park in leeds 93 & 97 to murrayfield,manchester,dublin 5 times,Arnhem in holland & paris twice,these are memories i treasure,i dont know if i'd still be here if achtung baby didnt pick me up when i was broken,at the hardest point in my life Thank you 4 the music ❤
Gavin Smithson I totally get it!☺
Aryan-Persian whats your problem mate? Always one keyboard 🔔🔚
Sherry Lynne thank you 👍 x
My new favourite band. I wish I was born earlier.
Enjoy it, the best band in the galaxy.
All the catalogue is out there buy it :)
Enjoy the back catalogue
I'm 36 and also wish I was born earlier : D I discovered them in the 90s
I saw the band live in Argentina. And wS the best shiw of mi life. With the 360° world tour
All distant pre-covid memories 😭
This is what pop radio needs right now! Thank you U2!
U2's songs are timeless and always worth listening too! Great song! I love it!
Both the song and the video resonate so much positive energy I can't help but smile and sing along. U2 still knows how to do great music. The Songs of Experience album is pure masterpiece.
U2 music makes me happy
"When you look so good" ❤

How many bands can you name that’s just as big now as they were 35 years ago. Love this song.
Gil Faizon sure they are. They still sell out man. I’ve been to several of their concerts. They are still one of the richest and most popular bands. They also still have a strong fan base. Sure they aren’t as huge as they were in the 80s and 90s but they are still selling fine.
Not many!!! U2 RULES!!
I love U2 to bits. But they are nowhere near as popular as they were 35 years ago. Still very big don't get me wrong, but much bigger during the 80s and even 90s.
Bon Jovi, Metallica, Guns 'N Roses?
Bon who? Metallica maybe and GNR have been dead for 20 years!
Bono's voice never changes one bit! Impressive old school badass rockers! U2 Yeah!!
Video makes me think how America U2 loves America and give back
Love U2 Forever!😍❤
I was worried before watching this. What if they will now try to sound like the sellouts in the charts? But they didn't, they still sing what they feel. What I like the most is that they actually changed while still keeping the spirit. After all, I have heard 100 traditional u2 songs, it's time for something different! Keep it up, I like it that way!!! :)))
My new favorite U2 song
The best rock band ever!
This is a great U2 song. It has some great riffs, awesome hook, key changes, rhythm changes, cool dynamic bass lines, all around well crafted and well arranged.
I've been a fan since Joshua tree and at first this song didn't resonate with me, but by the 5th listen I slowly fell into the beauty of this songs apparent simplicity. From an attempt at a top 40 hit in the "sunset" of their career to becoming one of their most joyful songs since October era U2, the fact that almost 40 years into their career they can still make me feel " the best thing about them" is keeping it real 4 decades in.
I'm still warming up Beeg, but getting there. I used to watch MTV and hope the next video was "I Will Follow" or " New Years Day"
They used to have a very working class feel with their first several albums, singing about the hardships of the common people, remember? From hard living in Ireland, war, to MLK, mining towns, being lost in life, greed, missing children, etc. They had a very pessimistic working class view of the world that connected with a lot of people. But since the time of Achtung Baby they changed to a completely optimistic view and never turned back. It just doesn't have the same soul or connection.
Beeg Feet a true fan :')
I think U2 grew up DoomTownGrafx. So did we. I haven't heard of the IRA in 20 years. MLK, missing children, war, greed and being lost in life are all there. U2 used to SHOUT it out, now they make you work for your own interpretation. Get on your boots! Go to war!
Wait till u hear full album. Fantastic
The best rock band on the planet
🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Just one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances.
I would love your input on our cover of U2's Ordinary Love. Maybe we succeeded, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : th-cam.com/video/yiUkR6YUNgU/w-d-xo.html
2:56 This part omg wow
I totally agree !! Completely awesome !!!!! it gives me goosebumps. A melody from above...
And the Edge's voice
U2 is the best thing about me 😎🤘
Fernando Rene Sanchez Villa Idem.🤘🏾😏
That's sad
Hey, you inspired me to make a song about cabbage. I've uploaded it to my channel & I'd love to hear what you think :)
After so many years how do they still do it? Awesome song
Was such a pleasure to see these guys in person in Phoenix favorite band since younger
Well, he's still got it. You gotta give 'em that.
I love how they evolve with the times. They’re still relevant and really good.
OMG SO GOOD! My father passed onto me his love for U2's music as he passed me his looks. I went to Dublin and searched all over for a trace of them :') I was like dreaming I'd be in a pub and they'd casually walk in haha! Always good, always good!
I am ready to hang out with U2 any time -
U2 You're The Best Thing About Me is one of my favorite song
U2 😍😍 Legends forever!
Bono's voice heals my soul
I always love the instrumentals so so much in U2 songs. favourite part is 2:57 ... just The Edge's guitar ♥️♥️♥️♥️
A Thousand Suns To Midnight The Edge is the best of the best
My favourite part too, was pissed off with the radio host when he spoke over it last week 😁
Kygo remix!
A Thousand Suns To Midnight Yess the best part 😍😍😍
The rhythm and lyrics of this song are incredible! U2 never dies
49 and still listening to my fav band in the world since 10 years old, "Boy" Album.
NYC loves U2!
The best things are easy to destroy. So many beautiful lyrics on this song.
Mercedes Martinez. "I can see you love her loudly when she needs you quietly"
This song plays at my job and I have it stuck in my head every time
Lyrics
Thank you for giving us a great life, U2

Not sure if the Nazi salute was necessary at 3:37 mark
+starsgap you're a special kind of stupid huh?
Brilliant as always.
im 14 and this is my favorite song by U2.
Come on man
No one cares
They made a similar version of the songs: "All Because of You" and "Street Have No Name". U2 is sensational, I have been a fan since I was a child!
U2 + NY >>> Say No More

Best in the world
U2 the best of the best. Big Up and big kiss from France for U2 and Ireland 😘😉✌️✌️✌️
Not a band , an experience and one that I love. One but the same.
I'm so happy! U2 are the best! ❤️
U2 is a band where all their new singles are master-pieces. Original of the species, vertigo and now this one. This band really know how to rock all ages.
A band as influential, important, and legendary as U2 is and they only have 1.66 million subscribers!?!? What the hell has this world come to? So many of today's artist are so over manufactured that it seems ppl just don't care anymore. The highest rated show on tv, like American idol, even celebrate it.
That magic U2 sound
Good job, U2!
U2 is such great band, how lucky its been to have grown up with U2 since early 80's.
2021, I am here
U2 is the best thing of our lives
Mexico next stop and Sudamertica we cant waiting for u2

My energy recharges when I listen U2 songs... I'm feel great
So awesome. I love U2, they're the best!!
I’m loving it! So early, too.
This song kicks ass. Wow, today it was *3 degrees in Indiana. Super chilly. Meanwhile, now in 2024 the thing that really, still, stands out is that driving, pounding, perfect drum and bass omg. This is so cool, and Edge singing....wow. dj Tommy Walker, Terre Haute, Indiana😅
Happy New Year 2022!
U2 you are the best thing about me, have been since the 80's.
