There are two themes in the song: the damage from Edge's divorce and the twisted mind of terrorism. This section describes the madness behind car bombing:
In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness
Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness
This was written at the time of lead guitarist the edge divorce and you can hear and feel his pain in his guitar during this epic song, the man is a genius and you should check out his solo performance of this epic song, U2 live are incredible and are among my r favourite live bands of all time that I have seen live the other 2 being Pink Floyd and Queen, you should check out other live performances from these legends including from the same show Until the end of the world, October/ Bullet the blue sky live from Paris, The Fly live from Boston and Please live from MTV music awards, i guarantee you will be hooked.
YEEEEESSSSSSS!!! Sorry, this is going to be very long and I haven't even watched your reaction video yet but I'm just so thrilled you're reacting to U2, especially to a song from one of the greatest, most groundbreaking and influential tours of all time! Whilst U2 may not be at their very best these days (still better than many though, especially after 45 + years together) a lot of people have either forgotten or are too young to remember (or weren't even born!) just how great U2 were in the 90's. They were great in the 80's too, of course, but with a very different sound and style to their 90's output.
Lots of classic songs of theirs in the 80's, of course, but for me the 90's is U2's greatest decade. It's when they turned their whole sound and style on its head, before they started to become too safe and in their own bubble from the massive success of The Joshua Tree, Rattle And Hum, etc. They could easily have lost a lot of their fans with such a drastic change, because their late 80's output was so huge worldwide, and very American influenced.
After about a couple of years break they came back with Achtung Baby, an album sounding like experimental, electronic, European Industrial Rock!! Yet I guess still recognisable as U2 because of Bono's voice and The Edge's guitars. I remember when their first single release from Achtung Baby came out, The Fly. I was gobsmacked because I couldn't believe it was U2 making a song like this. And it sounded like nothing else at the time. Lol, it was the song that infamously knocked Bryan Adams off the number one spot after 16 weeks, in the UK charts!
U2's Zoo TV Tour was incredible. U2 may have sadly played things safe over the past couple of decades but in the 90's they weren't afraid to be adventurous and experimental, to take risks. I mean check out the official video for their song Numb, the lead single from their Zooropa album! There aren't many bands who'd dare to introduce the world to their latest album with a song and video like Numb, lol! Honestly, you just have to watch it, and imagine it being released in 1993!
I really hope you'll watch the whole of the ZooTV Tour - Live in Sydney 1993 concert. For me it's U2 at their very best and most inventive, creative and relevant. It's amazing from beginning to end. The tour started in 1992 to promote Achtung Baby but in 1993, in between one leg of the tour they recorded another album, called Zooropa, which is like a sister album to Achtung Baby and so when they went back on the road doing another European leg and played Australia they were promoting two albums and changed some of the set list to incorporate songs from Zooropa too and made them fit in perfectly with the tour's themes.
The Sydney concert is from the later leg and has Bono playing his MacPhisto alter-ego, which he hadn't done in America (he played a different, more Americanised character there). MacPhisto was a brilliant invention. Each night Bono would phone someone up, or try to (some didn't answer) , to impart some of MacPhisto's words of wisdom. He tried phoning up the German chancellor and other European leaders. He even tried to speak to politician Alessandra Mussolini to have a word about her infamous grandfather, lol! Another night he'd phone for a taxi home or order a pizza, lol!
Anyway, pleeeeease watch the whole concert to experience U2 in their absolute prime! Hell, the concert even has flying Trabants, for heaven's sake, what more do you want?! Lol!!! Anyway, I've waffled on enough, now I'm going to finally watch your actual reaction video!!! :)
U2 can make stadiums feel intimate. I have seen all their tours since 1984.
Excellent choice DiveDown 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Deffo mate!!
My favourite band! (you can probably tell from the profile pic). You should watch more songs from that show. Such a great tour!
"Squeeze the handle" is a gun which makes "blow out the candle" killing someone. In this case this song is mostly about Edge's separation from his wife when they were recording this album. she left him not long after they started recording and it colored the entire rest of the album they hadn't already written or recorded. Bono wrote the song. The whole band felt the separation with him as they all sort of grew up together, including the now ex-wife. Edge snapped a couple of strings when recording the song in a fit of emotion and just kept on playing regardless and that version is still what you hear on the album itself. Bono said he's usually so gentle with the strings but he was so emotional that he played too hard and the strings snapped.
There are tons of great live performances: All I Want is You/Where the Streets Have No Name live from Slane Castle 2001, With or Without you Live in Boston 2001, An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart live at Red Rocks 1983, Sunday Bloody Sunday live at Red Rocks 1983, Exit/Gloria live in 1988 from the Rattle and Hum set of shows, Every Breaking Wave (you have to just search this song live. It's not on their own channel as it was done specially for Audacy. The thumbnail image is of Bono sitting on the steps of the front porch of a big New England style house singing to a small crowd. it was the most emotional rendition of that song I've ever heard!), Bad from Live Aid in 1985
That's just a few but there are SO many more. U2 is incredible live!
“Stay” from that same concert is great too. Never was a big fan of “Mysterious Ways” but again, that Sydney performance is so much better than the studio version
Its sad the way U2/Bono are seen these days what with the Apple nonsense etc. They're an absolutely amazing band and the best, by far I've seen live.
What’s really sad is how they betrayed their values
Agreed. Its incredible how they’ve had the same 4 man lineup as long (if not longer) than any rock band in history without any lineup changes/deaths/departures. Especially considering the extremely volatile nature of the business and those involved. But in a weird way, that works against how they’re perceived. Here’s what I mean..
It kinda feels like the inverse of the dynamic of how legacies outgrow reality when musicians, artists, actors, politicians, etc. die young/at their peak (Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, James Dean, JFK, Janis Joplin, etc.). Those individuals are forever frozen in time as young, talented, beautiful, etc. without any physical/artistic decline. Whereas with U2, we’ve witnessed their physical/artistic/performative decline.
I’m convinced had they died in a plane crash(not to be too morbid) after Achtung Baby was released, they’d be viewed by the vast majority of the public(as opposed to their fans only) as a Mt Rushmore band. But since we’ve seen the decline(along with their politics and public exhaustion), their overall legacy has suffered. I have no way of proving that. But I genuinely believe it to be true.
@@matthewdavis418betrayed what exactly?
When The Edge was recording the solo for this track, he played so hard that all the strings started snapping one by one. That's the take that ended up on the Achtung Baby album.
The most amazing live tour ever.
There are multiple ways to read the lyrics. The lines "In a parked car, in a crowded street / You see your love made complete" and "Squeeze the handle, blow out the candle" and "A little death without mourning / No call and no warning" are about a specific car bombing done by the provisional IRA where they detonated the car bomb without calling in a warning first. That was considered evil even by traditional IRA and led to a lot of republican sympathizers kind of turning away from that faction in Ireland. It's also about struggling with someone you love. And yeah, a 6/8 song in Bbm is definitely going for that melancholy feeling.
The girl was just a random girl from the audience. It was a common thing for Bono to bring a woman on stage.
The Zoo Tv tour,probably the most influential stadium tour of all time. Pushed boundaries like no other had beforehand, the first tour to have a b stage on the field. The multimedia package for the show was mind blowing, screens and TV’s everywhere. It really did change stadium concerts . Remember this was a tour that happened between 92/94
Bono played alter egos during the show. The one here is MacPhisto. Bono imagined the devil as an aging glam rocker who had long ago sold his soul, complete with gold suit, white pancake makeup and horns. MacPhisto performed as part of each set, waxing poetic about politics and morality. At the start of the show was the fly , total opposite of MacPhisto.
