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?
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
I have 18 and I'm appreciating some U2 songs.
Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹
Yes. U2 is my band and I am honored to be part of all of this.
Larry has to be the most focused drumer in rock and roll. No showboating or headbanging, his playing speaks for itself.
This is what I love about U2, their songs always come with absolute hope.
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
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 :)
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.
find something new Luis
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
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
Bono's voice never changes one bit! Impressive old school badass rockers! U2 Yeah!!
This is what pop radio needs right now! Thank you U2!
My favorite band in the world!
Much love for these guys!
I am 65 and if this song came out in U2s prime would have been big hit. Great song for old dudes like me. Sounds like the bravery. Congrats. Never thought U2 could still put out great stuff still
BEST BAND EVER! Brazil loves you!
Guilherme Silva YES😍
Bono's voice heals my soul
U2 is the best Rock Band Hall of Time 🇧🇷
U earned a like for having good taste in music
Amen!!
U2's songs are timeless and always worth listening too! Great song! I love it!
A love letter to New York City. Nice one U2!
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.
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?
Video makes me think how America U2 loves America and give back
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 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.
The rhythm and lyrics of this song are incredible! U2 never dies
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!
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.
U2 You're The Best Thing About Me is one of my favorite song
U2 is such great band, how lucky its been to have grown up with U2 since early 80's.
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
Such uplifting energy and love of U2 towards New York City ❤
The best rock band ever!
This is one of their best songs ever created. Brings me to tears of joy listening to this. ❤
Non c'è niente da dire.. Il più grande gruppo della storia.. Unici..
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
An all time great band...4 of the coolest humans on earth..and an epic concert experience
I love this song 🤩 ❤
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 😍😍😍
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!!! :)))
When you're having a bad time, why not, listen to this. It will make you feel more relaxed and peaceful. I'm from Italy, vi voglio bene U2.
dear U2, thank you for making my life so special through your music, the last 30 years, in a small town in the South...
Same here!!
I'm so happy! U2 are the best! ❤️
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!
Not a band , an experience and one that I love. One but the same.
U2 music makes me happy
Dear U2, if I saw you guys on the street I would jump up and down (from a distance 😁) and make a general fool of myself. You've been with me through the best and worst times and brought such soaring joy to my heart with your beautiful music. God bless you for being a light in this world. Thank you. Wishing you and your families all happiness and love. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
im 14 and this is my favorite song by U2.
Come on man
No one cares
Love U2 Forever!😍❤
Ty
I didn’t know about U2, but i got goose bumps. I like their voice, base, drum, keyboard, mood ... everything is my best thing about me!!!!
I am ready to hang out with U2 any time -
I'm 47 still listening u2 since 14 there is something... there is... really really seroius about this band!!
The darker the world gets the more their music stands out.
Love that signature guitar sound. You always know when a U2 song is playing.
U2 the best of the best. Big Up and big kiss from France for U2 and Ireland 😘😉✌️✌️✌️
Thank you for giving us a great life, U2
BEST BAND
My new favorite U2 song

Just returned from NY and seeing the Icon that is Bono!
49 and still listening to my fav band in the world since 10 years old, "Boy" Album.
I love this song! Like U2 indeed! Amazing!
This video is so filled with joy. I love it. Heck, even Larry smiles at one point!
U2 you are the best thing about me, have been since the 80's.
Well done, U2!
First time I listened U2 was when I found my father's "cassette" of Joshua tree lol, and I was absorbed in with or without you, we have been fan of U2 in two generations since then. And this song sounds more for my generation, U2 is still evolving!
So awesome. I love U2, they're the best!!
This song plays at my job and I have it stuck in my head every time
È la a MIA canzone preferita ❤
2:56 This part omg wow
I totally agree !! Completely awesome !!!!! it gives me goosebumps. A melody from above...
And the Edge's voice
Brilliant as always.
Thank you for being an answer to prayer - hearing this in an Old Navy for heavens sake - what was needed to get home with a last minute birthday present for my son knowing I'll do better for him next year. That's the kind of stuff these songs have helped me get through. So yeah- a kick ass song.
I’m glad this song has helped you in the best possible way one could imagine and I hope you never stop being the fighting Champ for your son.
Love this
Love U2
I grew up listening to U2
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 ❤️👍
This is "Sweetest Thing" for the 21st century. Wonderful song and video.
They are simply the best!!! I love their sound till this day!!
They’re such an amazing talents. Unfortunately, artists today have no inspiration and no inspiration for music. Is this your favorite song?
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!
Love this video! It reminds me to "Still haven't found what I'm looking for"
U2 😍😍 Legends forever!
U2 melhor banda de Rock
This video stands the test of time! U2 continues to promote, provoke, and incite. I can't love them any more. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Yes, I can, Yes I can! Well, maybe I can as I wait for their next release. They've been a part of my reality for over 40 years and I can't imagine a world without them.
They are so cute, so incredible and so talented!! U2 for ever!! I love you guys!! ❤️❤️
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
Well, he's still got it. You gotta give 'em that.
Dear U2, been loving your sound for many years, stood the test of time, your music helped me thru good and bad times, thankyou X
U2 ARE THE BEST THINGS IN THE WORLD....
Will never forget about this song! May I call this song "the extraordinary of the ordinary"
U2 is the best thing of our lives
U2 sempre será apreciado no Brasil!
Isso Isso!
Top1 sempre!
YESSSS the boys are back 👍🏻😃
Exactly so i fan them
Why won't they be using threads?
I LOVE U2, When they say i love you❤
I love how they evolve with the times. They’re still relevant and really good.
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

NYC loves U2!
This is the most fun U2 video I've ever seen. It's perfect!! Good job, lads!!
I’ve been a U2 fan since 1983. I’ve seen them in concert 3 times
Biggest band in the world since 1987, 30 freaking years!!!!
Jordan Groff I saw them in 1984, we were all babies!
1980 firs album-boy
They've been together for over 40 now! 2016 I Heart Radio Music Festival was a few days off of their 40 year mark! So amazing!
Since 1976 ❤️❤️
The Church also similar style Still awesome 38 years should be biggest band. imo.
Listened earlier today and i love it. Like all other U2's music. Listened for over an hour. Always will be in my top 5. Love you all. ✌💞💫
U2 You're The Best About Me is one of my favorite song from the album You're The Best About Me!
I'm going through so awkward money problems and i know that U2 are going to announce a tour soon that will put me even more in debt.... WORTH IT!

Hughezy Entertainment arena tour next year!
arenas, eh? big rumour is that they might do Slane Castle next year.
Hughezy Entertainment might do, edge said arenas so idk
Hughezy Entertainment my fav comment..!

Always sending the perfect melody to ones heart. Is this your favorite song?
