One of the most underrated songs ever whether by U2 or in general and one of the best songs I have ever heard. For some reason, just flew under the radar.
It “flew under the radar” cause our corporate controlled world music industry suppressed it - absolutely no reason monetarily for them to promote this a song bringing listeners closer to Christ and enlightenment about this greedy profit centered world
It has Always been One of my Absolutely favourite from the most Genius - Born, God-rooted Rock Band in the World: MIGHTY U2!!🎸🔥💝💖🔥💖👍💪💪💝🔥🎸🎸🔥🔥💪🔥🔥💖💖💝😃🌹🌹😮💪💪🎸🔥🔥💝💖
This is the first song I played in my car for 2020 on my way back home from a New Year's party, the sky was clear, the stars and crescent moon looked gorgeous, I was cozied up in my warm car, it was a perfect drive home around 1:30am... wishing everyone a Happy New Year 👍
As kid of the 80s and a teenager of 90s this album has been timeless. I later learned this song was about Judas and his betrayal. In the past 2000 years, he never got any empathy except this song and when archeologists discovered the Gospel of Judas and other forgotten (and edited) written works. Just an armchair historian with no religious motivations. Amazing track to hear in September 2020.
Actually it's about Jesus being betrayed by Judas. The perfectly placed kissed. Once again Jesus chose to suffer and this time under the act of betrayal. Jesus is beautiful and my comfort in the betrayals I've faced. U2 captured something no one else has in such a way. A masterpiece of a song. Most likely directed by the Holy Spirit himself!
What a fantastic song, but some of the live versions are absolutely stunning. The Edge's guitar work melts my face every time. Love love love this song!
That is how you put s song together. I like the fact how Adam Clayton goes along with Bono while he is singing, Larry Mullen kept the snare drum rolling and the Edge keeps shredding the guitar. This song is underrated.
@@pirateradio808 you're a lot more capable than me at this, i don't think i would have caught on to it at all. :) all the best, have a good evening/night
Lyrics, meanings, etc etc aside, the sheer sound of this whole record just fucking destroys. One of the greatest recordings ever made by humans. I mean the entire album.
They're promo concert in Miami Florida in... i THINK it was 1992 was ..WOW... incredible They're energy was in everybody,all around me and i was a witnessto all these strangers around me and i watched and REALLY looked around me and i NEVER EVER felt SO alive and hopeful and God was there and so happy with all his family jammin to this fantastic,HUGE ,overwhelming (in a good way)movement as WE as ONE danced and sang and dreamed and felt EVERY chill bumpTOGETHER! Yo baby! U2 has shown us another way to FEEL HOW God feels thru music. How cool is THAT
Thanks to Wim Winders and his film "Until the End of the World", this U2 song has stuck with me ever since 96, or 97, when I first watched the film! Nowadays, each time I put on the soundtrack CD in my car, there's a special feeling driving while listening to this song! Simply beautiful!
The Joshua tree, in my modest opinion, is more "raw", while this technically is superior, but they both complement each other, The Joshua Tree is the runaway that lead to the take off of Achtung Baby, when they became the greatest band of the world in those years
this is an example of the dynamics of , U2. Rather than go for a samey sounding album after the Joshua Tree. They took the gamble, and headed in a different direction. As for, their best song ever, it's difficult to find the definitive song from their earlier work. However, still waiting for something to talk about of late.
This song is an ocean. Every time I hear it, I'm drowning in it in the most beautiful way. Waves of regret, waves of joy... deep, powerful, strong, painful, surrounding, honest, scaring, otherworldly... the complexity of human emotions in one voice, one guitar riff, one story.
November Gold At times their music is transcendent. They find melodies and themes that speak to the ages. They evolve and recreate themselves as they mature and face new challenges and meet new obstacles. They are the masters of their identity and their destiny.
This song says very much musically as well as Spiritually. At times during the it the musicdoes exactly waht the lyrics are saying in that it very literally spining around you almost feels as if it is a wall that surrounds you. It so completely flows in the words of George Harrison Flows within you and without you. I am proud tobe a fan of U2 and their music and their help with spreading the Word and Love of Jesusfor nearly 40 years
I saw U2 in 1981 in a club in NYC. The one thing that I remember was the wall of sound that came from the guitar player--in a club you could feel it. Then I got to see them again a few years ago in MetLIfe Stadium (Jets-Giants stadium, NJ) and they were same perfect band with that wall of sound.
Soo true. At 1:59 and also later in the song it feels like I'm going under water... dunno how to explain... This is a lot about water for me. "Waves of regrets, waves of joy"... yes... the feeling of the song is water. Can't explain why I feel that way.
So many memories associated with this brilliant album and the events of life at the time...burning cds for my friend Jessica during soccer season , and ultimately seeing this great tour at the Pontiac Silverdome in September of 93...sucks we have to get old doesn't it?
There's one of the biggest storms this year raging out there at the moment, with rain drumming against my window and lightnings every few seconds, and listening to this now in the twilight has something surreal
WL Robinson Hope you understand this was recorded on the best Analog recording/ adat gear available in the early 1990's. They were doing takes of the songs as early as the Lovetown Tour. It took them a year from recording to then re-dubbing in the studio to make this album. What pop act is going to be playing for months on end in the studio for one album lol. Today 10 albums are recorded in the time it took Achtung to come out but those 10 albums won't be remembered after 1 month. In modern Music industry it is about the latest song not album.
@@danfuerthgillis4483 oh interesting, you think they recorded this album to tape? I thought it might have been digitally recorded. Do you know a link for more information?
@@mercurialmagictrees If you have the Achtung Baby Album CD, inside the booklet you can see the crew and the studio pictures working the 24 track 2" Studder tape deck recorders, along with the Console Mixer and the mixing crew. You can also see Daniel Lanois playing an acoustic Gibson with Edge. Digital ( Studios ) Recording did not go fully until at least 2000, that is when Music started to sound very different, no more tape floor noise or dynamics. Look at film for example we still do not have a fully replacement for 35 mm quality even at 8 k resolution. 35 mm film is around 10 k resolution lol.
@@mercurialmagictrees Zooropa and Pop both were recorded to tape. U2 only recently switched to full Digital, including their live mixers. They still record to tape but not often now.
Because beautiful things don't seem attention...they just are and exist.... This song be it a one or a ten moves everyone's soul with it's notes and lyrics .. The mystery is best clouded...a secret for the few
I'll never forget the first time I heard this on the radio. It was one of those rare but wonderful "WOW" moments were you hear something really great for the very first time and it grabs you and there just isn't enough volume or words to describe the euphoria of the sound.
This song is about a conversation between Jesus and Judas, but I have always thought of it as an indictment of a lover's betrayal and, at the same time, mourning plea for that person's affection.
Although Bono wrote it about a conversation bw Jesus & Judas, he has always said that his songs can mean whatever is personal to you. I think if that's how you interpret this song then thats great. I'm sure Bono would approve!
Lyricaly, this one reaches me more than 'Amazing Grace' does, same theme...."Waves of regret, waves of joy, I reached out to the one I tried to destroy. You said you would wait till the end of the world', literaly gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.
this song, like many of theirs, is indeed about the big jeez. and like any piece of poetry ever, obviously you can take whatever meaning you want from it, but that doesn't change what the author / poet wrote it about to begin with; that isn't objective.
@Robertsmith3828, sure, you can take it that way. At another level, though, Bono constantly writes about God as a lover in the vast majority of U2's songs, and Bono's favorite synonym for God is "love."
This is the song of the general scope of more than the mid of people around the world, auto destroy behaviour. A angel and a evil in each day, against who can save to them Great song, great guitar, Edge is amazing really! Great U2, until the end of the world and MORE!
Every band reaches their artistic peak at some point. U2 reached theirs with Achtung Baby and Zooropa. They have put out some good songs since then, but never great albums.
Dimestore Philosopher Joshua Tree ----clearly, without a doubt. first track til the last. And then it was just occasional sprinklings of brilliance and inspiration scattered here and there after that.
😍! Haven't seen you in quite a while I was down the hold, just passing time. Last time we met it was a low-lit room We were as close together as a bride and groom. We ate the food, we drank the wine ...
The song has so many meanings! It is inspired! From a non believers standpoint it’s about Judas not understanding what Christ’s reason for being was other than service to the poor and downtrodden- from the language used by U2 and rhythmic beat of post chorus crying out “love , love, love” in the background (for me) it depicts Judas drowning in sorrow of not being able to receive Christs love and the egregiousness of what he did, before finally asking for forgiveness (at the crescendo)
there is no difference to me for great albums, they can reincarnate their sound with every song they have on every album. you can touch their sound, ordinary emotion within their extraordinary sound. this song hits like an atomic bomb. very simple...
I cried and cried first time I heard this.. knew right away it was from Judas' point of view. which as a tiny kid, I got yelled at by nuns for defending Judas, for saying possibly Christ forgave him. I think of this as Judas' hymn.
This song has such over-the-top bathos, but i am absolutely loving it! Nothing vvrong vvith bathos but just do it the right vvay like most musicians couldn't.
One of the most underrated songs ever whether by U2 or in general and one of the best songs I have ever heard. For some reason, just flew under the radar.
Bingo !!!!
It “flew under the radar” cause our corporate controlled world music industry suppressed it - absolutely no reason monetarily for them to promote this a song bringing listeners closer to Christ and enlightenment about this greedy profit centered world
This song is so brilliant. I've been listening to it for 29 years. This is U2's masterpiece.
Canción dedicada a todos los JUDAS DEL MUNDO.
U2 has two songs that made me stop what I was doing to combat the goosebumps the first time I heard them. This song and Angel of Harlem. Great stuff
I as well, and was about somebody I already met and was to meet again years after this songs release. Thank you.
This song gotten me thru some rough times
It has Always been One of my Absolutely favourite from the most Genius - Born, God-rooted Rock Band in the World: MIGHTY U2!!🎸🔥💝💖🔥💖👍💪💪💝🔥🎸🎸🔥🔥💪🔥🔥💖💖💝😃🌹🌹😮💪💪🎸🔥🔥💝💖
The chaos in the background while his voice is so calm makes this song one of their best.
If I was only allowed to listen to one album for the rest of my life,it would be Achtung Baby!
Yes. For until the end of the world, mysterious ways and Zoo Station (I hope we're including life versions)
Yes- Achtung was their zenith, IMHO. Great running music and best of the nineties.
Very underrated song by U2...IMO one of there greatest ever !!!!
My song of my twenties, the 90s, epic. Where has the energy and depth gone ?
It goes for pop songs like Wap, so profound, down to the "dangling think in the throat.
What? WAP isn’t deep enough for you? 😏
U2 makes the world a better place
U2 is basically all we need
@@novembergold4144 you are right about that
Dark, brilliant, intense. One of the best U2's and 90's song
Roberto Zadik gnjhhnhmfkfu
Not dark - part of the sacred history.
Great adjectives.
Spot on.
For me, one of the best U2 song´s !! What a great song!
The coolest band on the planet and still are 30 years later
This world needs another "Achtung Baby"
Amen!
It won't come. Youth don't deserves it.
... and would not be interested anyway (or maybe a few).
Not going to happen. Music's just lost its way. And unfortunately that includes U2 themselves.
Absolutely

@@tmac8892 Shit happens
This didn't age well but you're absolutely right; shit happens. We'll get through it. Be safe. Cheers from Canada.
I think the whole Album is brilliant but hell i am going to say it...this is the best song on the album! My top 10 U2 songs
I saw them that tour. It was glorious. Spilling over the brim indeed..
Masterpiece....one of my favorite songs from the Irish band U2....💗
This song + Magnificent = Pure U2 Gold 👍👍👍
As kid of the 80s and a teenager of 90s this album has been timeless. I later learned this song was about Judas and his betrayal. In the past 2000 years, he never got any empathy except this song and when archeologists discovered the Gospel of Judas and other forgotten (and edited) written works.

This is is true U2 sound, the song, the acoustic guitar, the bass playing and drum bit ! :)
One of my favorite U2's right here!!!!!
Me tooo glory days😱😱😱👽👽👽👽
The story of Judas's betrayal of Christ reworked as a postmodern love song, Brilliant, hauntingly beautiful.
Just as great today as back in the day.
Well i didn't realise this was what it's about at 12-13,when i was listening to it from my dad 's albums. Thank you for that
@@ancapatrascu1545 It took me many many listens before I figured that out (and I was an adult).
@@pirateradio808 you're a lot more capable than me at this, i don't think i would have caught on to it at all. :) all the best, have a good evening/night
Thank you for this. This song takes on a kinda unsettling vibe that makes you go 'woah' as a follower of Christ
Lyrics, meanings, etc etc aside, the sheer sound of this whole record just fucking destroys. One of the greatest recordings ever made by humans. I mean the entire album.
i'd have to agree with you on that.This album is vicious.One of their best next to War and Joshua Tree.
youre right....its super inspired...this was released in NZ on my birthday and im still in awe of the lyrics..production...this is a landmark album
Everything in its right place!
Hell Yes Matt
@Schuttig Maske Judas.
one of their greatest moments without a doubt
man! what a great album, every song in this album is a #1 single
Best solo guitar ever!! 😍😍😍
it doesn't matter which year it is, U2 keeps it vibing until the end of the world. Cheers from Honduras!
man o man, this whole album...just wow
Yes, so true.
They're promo concert in Miami Florida in... i THINK it was 1992 was ..WOW... incredible
They're energy was in everybody,all around me and i was a witnessto all these strangers around me and i watched and REALLY looked around me and i NEVER EVER felt SO alive and hopeful and God was there and so happy with all his family jammin to this fantastic,HUGE ,overwhelming (in a good way)movement as WE as ONE danced and sang and dreamed and felt EVERY chill bumpTOGETHER!
Yo baby!
U2 has shown us another way to FEEL HOW God feels thru music.
How cool is THAT
How many years later I still love this song
What an underated song!!
Exactly!
one of their best song ever
HENRY THE 8th I agree , I think this was the best track on the album. The instrumental is incredible
if you and me and my family know about this song its not underrated IMO, i enjoy listening to this song anytime! cheers :)
I don't think so. Jesus as a traitor is an idea that most people couldn't handle.
Thanks to Wim Winders and his film "Until the End of the World", this U2 song has stuck with me ever since 96, or 97, when I first watched the film! Nowadays, each time I put on the soundtrack CD in my car, there's a special feeling driving while listening to this song!

one of mine as well
D8271 totally agree. Seeing and hearing live in concert magnifies the pleasure by a factor of 100x
Me too! Always had a special place in my heart!
My favorite U2 song
I’ve come to terms with Joshua Tree possibly being the better overall album, but this is, by far, the best song U2 has ever produced.
The Joshua tree, in my modest opinion, is more "raw", while this technically is superior, but they both complement each other, The Joshua Tree is the runaway that lead to the take off of Achtung Baby, when they became the greatest band of the world in those years
Only u2 song I like

This song is literally a conversation with a sober me and a drunken me.
I can relate
I like it
Thank you❤️
I can see that "waves of regret, waves of joy, I reached out to the one I tried to destroy"
First 8 seconds is the greatest start to any recording in music history......thank you! I think I've made my point

I had no idea it was about Judas...brilliant absolutely brilliant!!
This tune is all about what it has to be done. Each element accomplishes what it needs to be performed.
One of my favs ! Guitar greatness
This song is awesome!!!!
glad to know Bono wrote this as a hypothetical between Judas and Jesus! lover of Rock History! THANK YOU ALL!

El último buen álbum de U2 ... Diría yo .
this song makes me cry
Great song
Bono is still the world's greatest Genius. A light to many.
By far the best U2 song
I prefer Like A Song.

Claire deMorgan my thoughts exactly also so crule
Everything about how this album was made is perfect
Brilliant
Awesome
Beautiful
U2, we love you!💖💖
the BASS on this song!
Every element: Vocal, guitar, bass, and drums have their own moments throughout the song. I think that is what makes it so beautiful.

Great U2, until the end of the world and MORE!
Not the biggest U2 fan but the Achtung Baby album is deep and a freaking masterpiece. I love how experimental they got on songs like this.
The Edge is the man I play guitar I hear his simplicity but technical. Like David Gilmore Thank u brother. Keith Tucson ,..:)
the edge is nothing compared to Gilmour....im a huge U2 fan but lets not get silly about it...
Tyler Durden The Edge borrowed from Gilmour and expanded on the sonic landscapes of the guitar.
I miss the 90’s, great music everywhere. Achtung may be the most significant alternative album in the last 25 years, much love!
I like the guitar solo
The Edge is a fucking beast
Mee tooo😱😱👽👽
Who doesn't ?!
@@davlor86 Yup
Awesome song. Fantastic energy! Great rythem and guitars.
great album "Achtung Baby" 1991
Pure genius👌☘
Every band reaches their artistic peak at some point. U2 reached theirs with Achtung Baby and Zooropa. They have put out some good songs since then, but never great albums.
This album yes...Zooropa sucked ass
Gotta disagree and say Pop (especially with the new mixes) is their peak... But to each their own :)
Bob Walton Joshua Tree and this might be 2 of the greatest ever. I can't say more than that because I love listening to both ad nauseam.
Bob Walton Agreed.
Dimestore Philosopher Joshua Tree ----clearly, without a doubt. first track til the last. And then it was just occasional sprinklings of brilliance and inspiration scattered here and there after that.
Best damn song and the best damn album ever
WHAT A BAND
Omg ,one of my all time favourite songs from U2 ,great song guys .💚💚
😍!
Haven't seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold, just passing time.
Last time we met it was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom.
We ate the food, we drank the wine
...
Just had a dream I was in a U2 concert!!! :)
This album was my first 16 yo “love” and heartbreak album. On repeat with the dim black light on:)
One of my favorites from U2
I love the album, but this is my favourite from the whole album
The song has so many meanings! It is inspired! From a non believers standpoint it’s about Judas not understanding what Christ’s reason for being was other than service to the poor and downtrodden- from the language used by U2 and rhythmic beat of post chorus crying out “love , love, love” in the background (for me) it depicts Judas drowning in sorrow of not being able to receive Christs love and the egregiousness of what he did, before finally asking for forgiveness (at the crescendo)
what a great song off a great album. I mean, c'mon this is just outstanding rock n roll.
there is no difference to me for great albums, they can reincarnate their sound with every song they have on every album. you can touch their sound, ordinary emotion within their extraordinary sound. this song hits like an atomic bomb. very simple...
So beautiful and passionate, this song always brings me to tears.
The whole album is really good, I can not say which song I prefer
I cried and cried first time I heard this.. knew right away it was from Judas' point of view. which as a tiny kid, I got yelled at by nuns for defending Judas, for saying possibly Christ forgave him. I think of this as Judas' hymn.
2:44 love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love. that is what he say
This song has such over-the-top bathos, but i am absolutely loving it! Nothing vvrong vvith bathos but just do it the right vvay like most musicians couldn't.
Edge on fire....... Lifting the song to another level
L'ascolto ogni Santo giorno ❤️
Grandi U2
The Edge has a very unique style of guitar playing. That's what brought me here
