This is one of my favorite songs ever! The third verse especially when he says “You broke the bonds and loosed the chains, carried the cross and all my shame, all my shame… you know I believe it” … Pretty sure he’s talking about Jesus Christ there. He’s also mentioned in “Pride (In the Name of Love)” when he refers to “one man betrayed with a kiss”
Yes, a lot of spiritual/christian undertones to his lyrics....I think it shows a man searching and maybe conflicted about what he sees in the world. Take some of the lyrics from "One" ......You say love is a temple, love a higher law Love is a temple, love the higher law. You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt. One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should. One life with each other: sisters, brothers. One life, but we're not the same. We get to carry each other, carry each other. One, one.
Hey Devin! I definitely recommend "Where The Streets Have No Name" which has a very, very cool video singing LIVE on top of a building. "Pride" is a 🔥 fire song honoring Martin Luther King. FABULOUS BAND!! 🎵❤🎤
In my opinion, this album, Joshua Tree was U2 at their peak! For live albums, Under a Blood Red Sky, and Rattle & Hum, are not to be missed. I saw them live during the tour for this album. It was in in a 15,000 seat Sports Arena, but they made me feel like I was in a beer bar. Bono is an amazing fellow. Blood Red Sky was recorded at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Rattle & Hum has some cool collaborations, with A Gospel Choir in Harlem, as well as songs with B.B.KIng, and Bob Dylan. Start Diggin' Son...
Devin, you're looking at about 20 great songs by U2. But "One" is a song that will get in your soul and form tears in your eyes. And you'll wonder how you lived so long without it in your life.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 “One” saved my life, when it came out. I was at basic training and came home to discover that my gf cheated on me. I had planned to propose upon my return. Instead, I found myself alone and in a dark place. I was minutes from a very final choice, when “one” came in the radio. That and “Under the bridge” from the RHCP’s shook my dark fog away and gave me strength. I’ll never forget it…
Being a Christian you need to hear “In The Name of Love” First I ever heard from them in the 80’s! I think he’s talking about the crucifixion. I loved it 🥰
I just discovered U2 at the beginning of 2021 and they quickly became one of my favorite bands of all time. The entire Joshua Tree album is a masterpiece and you definitely need to check out Where The Streets Have No Name, With Or Without You and Bullet The Blue Sky from that album! If you want an amazing live performance Sunday Bloody Sunday at Red Rocks is incredible or "40" from Red Rocks is amazing too ("40" is actually directly based off of Psalm 40 and I believe they still play it in their live sets). Great reaction and I hope you delve more into this fantastic band!🤘🏻🔥🤜🏻🤛🏻
Abigail, I don't mean this to sound condescending in anyway... Good for you!!! U2 is a massively talented band with an amazing body of work. That concert is great. Check out their set at Live Aid.
@@jomojojo6603 I don't think you sound condescending at all🖤🤜🏻🤛🏻 I've seen part of the Live Aid performance but not all of it, I'll definitely have to check it out! Thanks!☺️
Abigail, congrats on discovering U2 they’re awesome! If you haven’t yet please check out Pride (In The Name Of Love). It’s a tribute to Martin Luther King and it is an absolutely banger emotional early U2 song.
Greetings from Dublin Ireland, Definitely check out All I want is you /Where the streets have no name from Slane Castle , A Brilliant performance. Love your energy, thank you
🔥🔥🔥GREAT REACT!!!🔥🔥🔥 This song is about a spiritual crisis they were going through. The U2 members are Christian believers, but like us all, they hit the spiritual “doldrums” and were begging for clarity and refreshment of their souls. Bono talks about this often and it is one of the most beautiful and vulnerable songs I’ve ever heard. This band is next-level, truly.
I'm a big fan of U2, and I'll recommend their classic "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (about the Bloody Sunday massacre in 1972 in Ireland) as one of their political songs and "Beautiful Day" as one of their more spiritual songs. Both pretty amazing.
Great reaction! Been a fan for 35 years. Yes, they are big time, in fact the biggest rock band in the world for decades, the longest running group with the same lineup in history. The Joshua Tree did win the Grammy in 1987. This was filmed in Vegas, I think it's Fremont street. Anyway, this album pulled together their post-punk roots, the atmospheric sounds of the previous album (The Unforgettable Fire) and them incorporating American roots and gospel music into their songs (like this one). For harder stuff from them - I Will Follow, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet The Blue Sky, Exit, God Part II, The Fly, Until The End of the World, Mofo, Gone, Vertigo. This is my second fave album of theirs. Achtung Baby in 1991 is pure perfection from beginning to end. Also, it's always good to react to them live. No one comes close.
This is actually my favorite song of all time. It is rooted deep as a gospel song of sorts. It's very spiritual as it is constantly searching for higher love but always experiences setbacks. "This one makes distinct references to Jesus: "I believe in the kingdom... you broke the bonds and you loosed the chains" he is acknowledging salvation and yet he still hasn't found what he is looking for."
U2’S best live performances are from Boston/Dublin Elevation Tour 2001.. Walk On their final was done as a tribute to 9/11. I saw it live in SLC.. even compared to the Joshua Tree Elevation is by far my best & fav Tour! And thankfully they are all still alive and very much together💙😎🙏
Have long been a fan of U2, one of the greatest bands ever. This is a nice intro, like you said, very smooth and delicate, they do rock harder on occasion. The entire Joshua Tree album is a masterpiece from start to finish. Their album War is quite good as well. Your next U2 song has to be Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet the Blue Sky, With or Without You, Vertigo, Elevation, or One. Definitely check out their live performances, they put on a fantastic show, I've seen them a couple of times. They chose the name for the ambiguity and open interpretation aspect of it. However, a U2 is a type of spy plane, and a U2 being shot down while doing recon deep in Soviet territory in 1960 is a large part of what started the Soviet Missile Crisis. Bono's real name is Paul Hewson, The Edge's is David Evans, and you are obviously correct as to who was who. As for the other two, bass player Adam was the guy in glasses, and drummer Larry was in what looked like a leather biker looking jacket, had sort of spiky blonde hair. Cheers!
I was at a Promise Keepers in Washington DC in the 90s. It was the Bridge the Gap PK. At the interior meeting the several thousand men gathered to sing and listen to the messages. This was one of the songs we sung. It was truly moving to hear several thousand men sing this in unison.
My favourite band ever! Love seeing more and more u2 reactions! Definitely check out “One” and “Where The Streets Have No Name” - also their live stuff is all so amazing
You are awesome dude. Born in 69. You are like Jason Mamoa's Younger brother. You got great heart. The important thing is we bring it. Keep going. Sub'd
Devin- love your enthusiastic in your reactions. If memory is correct, the inspiration to this song was Saul's conversion to Paul on the road to Damascus
I want this played at my memorial. Although I had a pretty exciting life, lived in 4 countries, hitchhike through Europe when I was young, I will never been able to see and do everything before I die. The video is from Vegas. Try to react to Where the Streets have no name" filmed downtown Los Angeles. Priceless.
U2 were the biggest rock band on the planet from 1987 to 1995 with the Joshua Tree album and global tour and then followed by Actung baby album and the zoo TV global tour. I first saw U2 at the Edinburgh playhouse in 1984 on their unforgettable fire tour . The building only held 3 thousand people price of concert ticket 6 pounds sterling . If you want to experience them live I suggest their RED ROCKS concert in Colorado US in 1983 them performing SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY , NEW YEARS DAY and 11'oCLOCK TICK TOCK also check out U2 LIVE AID performance at Wembley Stadium London England in 1985 where they perform their song BAD from the unforgettable fire album after this performance they became very quickly the biggest band in the world. Also check out U2 video of them playing WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME on top of a liquor store in downtown Los Angeles this was during their Joshua Tree tour in 1987 -1988
So cool to have seen them in 84! I would say U2 has been the biggest rock band in the world from 1987 (possibly 1984) through 2011, and I would argue still are. Hard to think of a rock band that is still putting out new albums (not greatest hits) that could sell out stadiums in any city around the world. Possibly Coldplay, but I wouldn’t really say they’re a “rock” band. They’ve had the number one tour every year they’ve toured from 87 to their last in one 2017. They’ve sold anywhere from 2 to 25 million copies of every album since 1983.
Check out their live video "Under A Blood Red Sky" to understand early U2's anthemic, charismatic sound. Passionate, and you can't beat the red rocks location
While I would say their dominate style is Pop Rock, one of my favorite things about U2 is their style, message, and presentation is alllll over the place. In a good way. If you want to see their ange, some I'd suggest: The Little Things That Give You Away - Spotify Singles version Pride (In the Name of Love) - Unforgettable Fire Album Running to Stand Still - The Joshua Tree Album American Soul - Songs of Experience All I Want Is You - Rattle and Hum Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own - How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb Bullet the Blue Sky - Slane Castle Live Sunday Bloody Sunday - Rattle and Hum Live
Thanks for bringing up great group with great song, and as always, I'm glad you liked this one. It's even better with the whimsical and happy 'Devin' reaction! Try 'New Year's Day' and 'Gloria' from U2 Devin. Happy day.
U2 tiene letras sumamente espirituales. Sus integrantes no han tenido vergüenza en hablar de su creencia en favor de Dios. Por eso me encanta, porque no se avergüenza de sus creencias como lo hacen los demás.😢 Viva U2!
Do U2 live , they are the greatest live act I’ve ever seen . By a mile. Their shows are unbelievable. Sunday Bloody Sunday live from red rocks Bad live aid Pride rattle and hum live Zoostation zoo tv Sydney With or without you zoo tv Sydney Hold me thrill me kiss me kill me popmart All I want is you / where the streets have no name slane castle elevation tour One slane castle Until the end of the world slane castle Vertigo Chicago live City of blinding lights 360 tour October/bullet the blue sky innocence and experience tour You won’t regret jumping on the U2 train 😄 big religious theme with their music as well . My favourite band ever 👌
I second Peter Murray's recommendation of All I Want Is You-Where the Streets Have No Name at Slane Castle. Their best live performance of those classics ever! ☆☆☆☆☆
I just checked out your video watching U2, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. I would suggest that you watch their live performance of The Electric Co, from their concert Under a Blood Red Sky in 1983.
Sometimes you can't make it on your own. He wrote this song after his father dies. The video is heartbreaking, seeing Bono walk the streets where he grew up, whilst singing to/about his late father. Just stunning xxx
Man there is a cool story I can tell you about Bino being here in New Orleans when they perform here in the Super dome it’s a long story so I can’t type that much.this story will show you how much he appreciates his fans maybe we zoom or Skype
Another great reaction brother. Just so you know, Home Free and Peter Hollens has a really great cover of this song. The background vocals are fans that have sent in videos singing along. It's really fun.
Bono was having a drink in Dublin a few years ago with a friend. Woman walks up to him, asks if it was ok if she could have her photo taken with him, and would his friend mind taking the photo? No a problem, Bono said. And so, Bruce Springsteen took the photo. Happy New Year from Ireland :)
Putri ariani cover i still havent found what i am looking for on agt semi final.her finale she sang dont let the sun going down on me.see her 2023 agt golden buzzer audition
Ok Devin I've been a U2 fan for 40 years and seen them live countless times for decades and I'm going to give you another classic but do the live version from slane castle in Ireland from 2001 i attended this show and for many it's one of the bands greatest ever concerts" the Band where formed by the Drummer Larry Mullen jr in 1976 and the four are still together ever since " Bono " the Edge " Larry Mullen jr " Adam Clayton on Bass guitar " the song im suggesting is " WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME " 🙏🙏🎸🎤
This is probably their biggest hit, but one could argue that "One" from Achtung Baby, "Where the Streets Have No Name" and "With or Without You" from the same album as this song, or even "Beautiful Day" (the weakest of those that I have listed) are as big or bigger. I'd say either this song or "One". Yes, there is nothing all that edgy or controversial in any of these songs, but that universality and easy radio rotation has a place. U2 filled that place for a better part of the 80s and 90s for sure.
How about a Vietnam tribute? there's some good music associated with that period of American history. The Doors - Break On Through (To The Other Side) Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son Creedence Clearwater Revival - Run Through The Jungle Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song The Rolling Stones - Paint it Black Black Sabath - Paranoid To name but just a few.
Just caught your reaction...sorry man but I think you missed the lines 'You broke the bonds and loosed the chains, carried the cross and all my shame, you know I believe it...but I still haven't found what I'm looking for.' For me, as a believer, I think the song is about finding that thing, outside of love, peace and Christ, that gives you personal joy in life (ie painting, music, dancing etc. Nice reaction. I'll be looking for more
Edge has by far the most unique guitar sound of pretty much any rock guitarist ever. You can argue there are those better, but none for distinctive. Also, if you dive into U2 there are only about 40-50 songs worth your attention so gird up.
Indespensible: Sunday Bloody Sunday Where the Streets Have no name - rooftop video One - live performance video Like I said, there are dozens but those are unmissable. Given your faith, you should know that Bono (all of them I think but definitely Bono) is a believer as well at that influences a lot of his lyrics. (by the way, there's a version of this song on the Rattle and Hum album (which had an accompanying "movie") preformed in Memphis with a gospel choir) There's some religious influences particularly in "Until the End of the World"
most of my favorite groups, I can count maybe 10-15 songs I really like. Almost no one gets much beyond that rang. With U2 I can count at least 45 but I'll spare you the most recent albums, and star the ones I consider the very best: Sunday Bloody Sunday*** New Years Day 2 Hearts Beat as 1 40 Pride Bad*** Where the Streets Have No Name** I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For*** With or Without You*** Bullet the Blue Sky* Running to Stan Still** Desire Hawkmoon* All Along the Watchtower (cover preformed live on Rattle and Hum) Silver and Gold Angel of Harlem* Love Comes to Town All I Want is You* Even Better Than the Real Thing* One**** Until the End of the World*** Mysterious Ways** Stay The Wanderer w/Johnny Cash Staring at the Sun Beautiful Day*** Stuck in a Moment*** Elevation* Walk On*** Kite Vertigo Sometimes You Can't Make It City of Blinding Lights
More u2 songs you can check out are desire,where the streets have no name,vertigo, beautiful day,Sunday bloody Sunday 👍👍 💖💖💖💖 ya Gibby Ps your shirt is awesome 🤘🤘
U2 will get into your soul, brother! The U2 Rabbit Hole is HUGE! Check out their live video from the "Under a Blood Red Sky" performance of a song called "Gloria". "Gloria" is from their 1980 album, October, and it is a prayer. Gloria, as in "Gloria, in te domine, Gloria, exultate; Gloria, gloria, Oh Lord, loosen my lips...". Check it out!
Bono have been happy married since very young, I think his high school sweetheart. I'm a little older than U2 and Bono, I find him very sensous, although not outright good looking.
First time viewing your Chanel. I see your posters and can see you are a fellow believer in Christ (?). Check out Acrobat, great lyric , I get the take that the lyric is from the view point of a struggling believer. The other track is End Of The World. I always thought that track was ex lovers meeting years later at a party, but it seems it’s more Bono’s take on what could of been Judas point of view.

He’s also mentioned in “Pride (In the Name of Love)” when he refers to “one man betrayed with a kiss”
Until the End of the World has strong Jesus/Judas allusions too.
Yes, a lot of spiritual/christian undertones to his lyrics....I think it shows a man searching and maybe conflicted about what he sees in the world. Take some of the lyrics from "One" ......You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law.
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.
One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should.
One life with each other: sisters, brothers.
One life, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other.
One, one.
This song ad video is filled with dichotomies. I think he’s trying to say no man can serve both God and mammon (money)
Hey Devin! I definitely recommend "Where The Streets Have No Name" which has a very, very cool video singing LIVE on top of a building. "Pride" is a 🔥 fire song honoring Martin Luther King. FABULOUS BAND!! 🎵❤🎤
Yeah, dare not do Streets without doing the rooftop video.
In my opinion, this album, Joshua Tree was U2 at their peak! For live albums, Under a Blood Red Sky, and Rattle & Hum, are not to be missed. I saw them live during the tour for this album. It was in in a 15,000 seat Sports Arena, but they made me feel like I was in a beer bar. Bono is an amazing fellow. Blood Red Sky was recorded at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Rattle & Hum has some cool collaborations, with A Gospel Choir in Harlem, as well as songs with B.B.KIng, and Bob Dylan. Start Diggin' Son...

Being a Christian you need to hear “In The Name of Love” First I ever heard from them in the 80’s! I think he’s talking about the crucifixion. I loved it 🥰
💯
Great song and suggestion! It’s full name is Pride (In The Name of Love) and it’s actually written about Martin Luther King Jr.
It does have a reference to Christ in it,but mainly it's an homage to martyrdom in general and Dr. King in particular.
"40" is about Psalms 40.

U2 STAY OFFICIAL VIDEO
This is actually my favorite song of all time. It is rooted deep as a gospel song of sorts. It's very spiritual as it is constantly searching for higher love but always experiences setbacks.
"This one makes distinct references to Jesus: "I believe in the kingdom... you broke the bonds and you loosed the chains" he is acknowledging salvation and yet he still hasn't found what he is looking for."
I agree!
What you really need is U2 at Live Aid performing Bad. Next maybe?
In The Name Of Love, Sunday Bloody Sunday and With Or Without You are just a few more of their hits!!♥️💥
Hi from UK.
Been listening to U2 since 80s. This song is awesome in so many ways. I came across your video, like your energy and drive 😎.🎸🎸❤️❤️
Their song Gloria is practically a worship song. Highly recommend.

Enjoy the journey discovering U2’s music…you won’t be disappointed😎
I'm always here with a thumbs up for any U2 reaction!
I was at a Promise Keepers in Washington DC in the 90s. It was the Bridge the Gap PK.
At the interior meeting the several thousand men gathered to sing and listen to the messages.
This was one of the songs we sung. It was truly moving to hear several thousand men sing this in unison.
You got that right! Bono and U2 are blessed.
You must watch a live performance. I'm a huge U2 fan. They originally was going to go in a Christian genre... however, they decided to go mainstream.
Yep I'm Irish an there from Dublin ...best band evaaa ...lots of great tunes from them ...listen 2 s few more ...happy new yr 2 u an ur family also
My favourite band ever! Love seeing more and more u2 reactions! Definitely check out “One” and “Where The Streets Have No Name” - also their live stuff is all so amazing
Las Vegas baby!!!!
You are awesome dude. Born in 69. You are like Jason Mamoa's Younger brother. You got great heart. The important thing is we bring it. Keep going. Sub'd
Love that reaction. Hope you do more U2. About to check.
Devin- love your enthusiastic in your reactions.
If memory is correct, the inspiration to this song was Saul's conversion to Paul on the road to Damascus
Big rabbit hole have fun.❣️
This song was ranked at number 93 on Rolling Stones magazine list of the 500 greatest songs of all time
I want this played at my memorial. Although I had a pretty exciting life, lived in 4 countries, hitchhike through Europe when I was young, I will never been able to see and do everything before I die.
The video is from Vegas. Try to react to Where the Streets have no name" filmed downtown Los Angeles. Priceless.
No joking, you will be blown away with live version of any of their hits... Check U2 out live also.
It was definitely Vegas. :)
U2 were the biggest rock band on the planet from 1987 to 1995 with the Joshua Tree album and global tour and then followed by Actung baby album and the zoo TV global tour. I first saw U2 at the Edinburgh playhouse in 1984 on their unforgettable fire tour . The building only held 3 thousand people price of concert ticket 6 pounds sterling . If you want to experience them live I suggest their RED ROCKS concert in Colorado US in 1983 them performing SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY , NEW YEARS DAY and 11'oCLOCK TICK TOCK also check out U2 LIVE AID performance at Wembley Stadium London England in 1985 where they perform their song BAD from the unforgettable fire album after this performance they became very quickly the biggest band in the world. Also check out U2 video of them playing WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME on top of a liquor store in downtown Los Angeles this was during their Joshua Tree tour in 1987 -1988
So cool to have seen them in 84! I would say U2 has been the biggest rock band in the world from 1987 (possibly 1984) through 2011, and I would argue still are. Hard to think of a rock band that is still putting out new albums (not greatest hits) that could sell out stadiums in any city around the world. Possibly Coldplay, but I wouldn’t really say they’re a “rock” band. They’ve had the number one tour every year they’ve toured from 87 to their last in one 2017. They’ve sold anywhere from 2 to 25 million copies of every album since 1983.
Check out their live video "Under A Blood Red Sky" to understand early U2's anthemic, charismatic sound. Passionate, and you can't beat the red rocks location
While I would say their dominate style is Pop Rock, one of my favorite things about U2 is their style, message, and presentation is alllll over the place. In a good way. If you want to see their ange, some I'd suggest:
The Little Things That Give You Away - Spotify Singles version
Pride (In the Name of Love) - Unforgettable Fire Album
Running to Stand Still - The Joshua Tree Album
American Soul - Songs of Experience
All I Want Is You - Rattle and Hum
Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own - How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
Bullet the Blue Sky - Slane Castle Live
Sunday Bloody Sunday - Rattle and Hum Live
The Rockumentary Rattle and Hum which features this song but all the songs in that movie are amazing!!! Must watch!! Rattle and Hum!!!
That was filmed in downtown Las Vegas!!!
That was definitely recorded in Vegas.
Such a great song......... in my top 100 of all time. (Yes, I have a long list)
Try "Bad" in LiveAid 1985.😉
Thanks for bringing up great group with great song, and as always, I'm glad you liked this one. It's even better with the whimsical and happy 'Devin' reaction! Try 'New Year's Day' and 'Gloria' from U2 Devin. Happy day.

Check out this song with them singing with the Harlem Choir. It's really a gospel song.
Sometimes you can't make it on your own. He wrote this song after his father dies. The video is heartbreaking, seeing Bono walk the streets where he grew up, whilst singing to/about his late father. Just stunning xxx
Man there is a cool story I can tell you about Bino being here in New Orleans when they perform here in the Super dome it’s a long story so I can’t type that much.this story will show you how much he appreciates his fans maybe we zoom or Skype
Excellent! "When Love Comes to Town" should be next
U2 music one, pride in the name of love, stay faraway so close, gloria, bad, o clock tick tock,...
DGibby....love your advice, reactions, enthusiasm. Gotta dive into U2...They are icons.
More please any song any album please
The Joshua Tree album is a masterpiece. U2 can FILL stadiums with sound. They are best heard live in a huge crowd.
Thats their best environment, stadium’s. I love their sound from the crowd.
Downtown Las Vegas - Fremont St.
I named my son Joshua from the Bible of course but also from this album.
Check out Sunday Bloody Sunday or Where the Streets Have No Name live from Slane Castle.
I always thought it was fascinating that they filmed this in Las Vegas, a place where so many go to find what they're looking for.
This song just brings you down to your knees man, makes any man humble…. Still trying to find the one that carried the cross for me 🙏🏻
Another great reaction brother. Just so you know, Home Free and Peter Hollens has a really great cover of this song. The background vocals are fans that have sent in videos singing along. It's really fun.
man how is Larry not pullin the chicks, he's HAF!
Bono was having a drink in Dublin a few years ago with a friend. Woman walks up to him, asks if it was ok if she could have her photo taken with him, and would his friend mind taking the photo? No a problem, Bono said. And so, Bruce Springsteen took the photo. Happy New Year from Ireland :)
Putri ariani cover i still havent found what i am looking for on agt semi final.her finale she sang dont let the sun going down on me.see her 2023 agt golden buzzer audition
Ok Devin I've been a U2 fan for 40 years and seen them live countless times for decades and I'm going to give you another classic but do the live version from slane castle in Ireland from 2001 i attended this show and for many it's one of the bands greatest ever concerts" the Band where formed by the Drummer Larry Mullen jr in 1976 and the four are still together ever since " Bono " the Edge " Larry Mullen jr " Adam Clayton on Bass guitar " the song im suggesting is " WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME " 🙏🙏🎸🎤
This is probably their biggest hit, but one could argue that "One" from Achtung Baby, "Where the Streets Have No Name" and "With or Without You" from the same album as this song, or even "Beautiful Day" (the weakest of those that I have listed) are as big or bigger. I'd say either this song or "One". Yes, there is nothing all that edgy or controversial in any of these songs, but that universality and easy radio rotation has a place. U2 filled that place for a better part of the 80s and 90s for sure.
Yup
How about a Vietnam tribute? there's some good music associated with that period of American history.
The Doors - Break On Through (To The Other Side)
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Run Through The Jungle
Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song
The Rolling Stones - Paint it Black
Black Sabath - Paranoid
To name but just a few.
You need to hit up some of their earlier stuff, Sunday bloody Sunday, or new year's day. Hello from N.Ireland 🖐
My pick for you to have a listen to is "Mysterious Ways"
It’s crazy, u never heard any songs
But hey get after it bro keep doing a good job reacting
You gotta check out Home Free cover to this song.
Please could you react to the amazing performance of young vocalist Diana Ankudinova with a cover What a Wonderful World))
Their song Pride, got me into U2. The Unforgettable Fire the album which the song is from, is my all time top albums.
U2 song bad at live aid concert and Bono saves a girl from the crowd
You should listen to Gregorian Masters Of Chant’s cover of this song it’s really good.
Just caught your reaction...sorry man but I think you missed the lines 'You broke the bonds and loosed the chains, carried the cross and all my shame, you know I believe it...but I still haven't found what I'm looking for.' For me, as a believer, I think the song is about finding that thing, outside of love, peace and Christ, that gives you personal joy in life (ie painting, music, dancing etc. Nice reaction. I'll be looking for more
Live U2 is great! Check out “All I Want is You/“Where the Streets Have No Name”….fantastic 🤩
Edge has by far the most unique guitar sound of pretty much any rock guitarist ever. You can argue there are those better, but none for distinctive. Also, if you dive into U2 there are only about 40-50 songs worth your attention so gird up.
Indespensible:
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Where the Streets Have no name - rooftop video
One - live performance video
Like I said, there are dozens but those are unmissable.
Given your faith, you should know that Bono (all of them I think but definitely Bono) is a believer as well at that influences a lot of his lyrics.
(by the way, there's a version of this song on the Rattle and Hum album (which had an accompanying "movie") preformed in Memphis with a gospel choir)
There's some religious influences particularly in "Until the End of the World"
most of my favorite groups, I can count maybe 10-15 songs I really like. Almost no one gets much beyond that rang. With U2 I can count at least 45 but I'll spare you the most recent albums, and star the ones I consider the very best:
Sunday Bloody Sunday***
New Years Day
2 Hearts Beat as 1
40
Pride
Bad***
Where the Streets Have No Name**
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For***

It's freakin Vegas dude. No other city is lit up with gambling like that.
They are Irish as Irish band not an English rock band but I'll forgive you say saying that. True One or New years Day or With or Without You
More u2 songs you can check out are desire,where the streets have no name,vertigo, beautiful day,Sunday bloody Sunday 👍👍
💖💖💖💖 ya Gibby
Ps your shirt is awesome 🤘🤘
U2 will get into your soul, brother! The U2 Rabbit Hole is HUGE! Check out their live video from the "Under a Blood Red Sky" performance of a song called "Gloria". "Gloria" is from their 1980 album, October, and it is a prayer. Gloria, as in "Gloria, in te domine, Gloria, exultate; Gloria, gloria, Oh Lord, loosen my lips...". Check it out!
With or without you please or New year's day
Bono have been happy married since very young, I think his high school sweetheart. I'm a little older than U2 and Bono, I find him very sensous, although not outright good looking.
Please, make a reaction to the songs of the singer Diana Ankudinova.
Not an English group, they're from Dublin Ireland. 😊
First time viewing your Chanel. I see your posters and can see you are a fellow believer in Christ (?). Check out Acrobat, great lyric , I get the take that the lyric is from the view point of a struggling believer. The other track is End Of The World. I always thought that track was ex lovers meeting years later at a party, but it seems it’s more Bono’s take on what could of been Judas point of view.
You have to do U2 "Where The Streets Have No Name (Album Version)" and wait for absolute greatness
Remember when Bono had one solid 37 Kurric Guinness world record, turd?? I do. "I'm not a number teeew!!" Bono on South Park.
AN ENGLISH ROCK BAND FROM DUBLIN
Dublin IRELAND not England
now react to any song from achtung baby, it's the next album after Joshua tree, the change of their sound is amazing.
