The devastating love songs on this album, where it's over but you're still together, are so poetically true. I've been there a few times, most people have. They're masterpieces.
Anyone else here in 2021? In my youth I travelled the world with my job. Always a new country, a new city and yes, a new heart to break. With age I understand my honesty was also my cruelty - don't love me, I'll leave soon and not look back. I have to be free, it's who I am. But for now I will love you absolutely. The last very faint lyric - whose gonna tame the heart of thee? No-one ever did. I have been celibate for 20 years now. I don't hurt people any more. No regrets :)
What Ali Stewart is really trying to say is that she and Bono are open with their child sex trafficking. Tears are leaks, leaks are a cue for an investigation. Rare is a code word for setting up a bait + tackle to divert law enforcement and undermine the investigation until they can murder their way out of indictments.
To me, this is a Beautiful powerful song about a person with a strong personality. This song would probably be about someone knowing themselves better than anyone else could ever know them. This song is also about who's going to live out your unique adventure of a life. They can't live your life for you. Experiences & lessons belong to yourself and your point of view. Not allowing anyone else to define you. This is just my take on this song.
I love this interpretation. I read that it was about The Edge's ex-wife and the band had a hard time getting it right because everyone was so emotional over his break-up. For me, it's one of my absolute favorite U2 songs.
You really need to know that you made my day today because you expressed my love for me knowing that you were able too ride out of my way and that I am impressed with your attitude towards the writing process I have been doing feel like you have a great comeback I love ❤️
The album version is superior. Reminds me of being 6 or 7 in the early 90s, obviously I had no idea what it was about but it's so lyrically and emotionally moving. Even if I'm not a huge U2 fan this album was amazing
They play this song a little on Sirius XM lithium, I wish they played it more than they do, it's not only more appropriate but it's also my favorite U2 song, such an awesome song!
"You're dangerous. Cause you're honest. You're dangerous. You don't know what you want. Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot. For any spirit to haunt." So true. R, why? 💔
Saturday(7/12/2019) :- Good Morning.Awaiting U2 to perform in Mumbai on Sunday(15/12/2019). Tickets cost a fortune in comparison to the Indian cost of living and average wages. Ahoy !
The British music monthly 'Q Magazine' reviewed 'Achtung Baby' in 1991, and they said the line in this song "...your salt-water kisses" was one of Bono's worst lyrics. They praised the record though, giving it 5 out of 5 stars and saying it was U2"s best album.
Who's gonna taste your salt-water kisses? /Who's gonna drown in your blue sea? /Who's gonna ride your wild horses? /Who's gonna take the place of me? .... I can't help but feeling Bono must have taken some inspiration from the Daphne Du Maurier novel "Rebecca" for this song.
I've got this from Song Facts: Bono wrote the song for Edge, who was going through a horrible divorce. Divorce was looked down upon in Ireland. The Edge eventually married Morleigh Steinberg, who was one of the dancing girls who toured with the band and danced at some shows when they played "Mysterious Ways." >> This was very difficult to record. Many techniques and mixes were attempted before it was completed. On the album you can actually hear the audio levels being raised at the beginning of the song. The song was eventually Re-Recorded (The Temple Bar-Remix) and released as a single. The new version, which the band felt was superior, gave the song an acoustic sound. The video actually features the Temple Bar Edit/Remix rather than the actual song that appears on the album.
When I was splitting up with my first wife about the time we got off the Zoo TV tour, she told me this song was about me. Still makes me feel bad when I hear it cause she was exactly right.
Pour moi cette chanson parle des experiences penible de la vie en couple du dileme des emotions apres rupture avant et apres surtout les phase du deuil.
Oh, the deeper I spin Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin Took a drive in the dirty rain To a place where the wind calls your name Under the trees the river laughing at you and me Hallelujah, heavens white rose The doors you open I just can't close
Or about a woman........just because he's been with Ali all this time doesn't mean he can't write songs about relationships even if fake. Besides a lot of this album was inspired by Edge breaking up with his wife.
Someone might say that I'm crazy to dedicate most of this song to my country, but I do. (And some parts to myself "Don't turn around, .🎼❤️..and don't look back"...)
Seems simple and meant to be but it's not. Life is full of complicated people and people forget the basics of life which is all we need. Hope you do find it one day x
I think this song is about a girl who just can’t commit. Very painful lyrics and emotions. U2 just came to Boston in June of 2018 but under difficult and hurtful circumstances, I wasn’t able to attend with my boyfriend. I made the decision that night that I just couldn’t continue being hurt by him anymore. Missing him is agony. Like I’ve been mortally wounded and I fear I may never recover. I’ll never stop loving him. I wish things were different :-(
Damn I'm so sorry and thanks for breaking the meaning of the song down to me believe it or not a psychic on youtube had this song in her reading she said it kept popping up in her head for Sagittarius people

@@BruceHurley Hi bruce I think the lyrics are written around the melody, til the end of the world is written about Judas and the unforgettable fire about the A bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Hello, you do it the right thing you can do, a man who hurt any woman does´n deserves her love, so right now you start to learn to love your self, and that is the greatest love at all, love youself first and when you do that you start to healing and became a powerful woman, some day a real man just will appear in your path and together will start a new life, Don´t rush just enjoy everyday and enjoy your self taking care of you.

A vastly underrated masterpiece. And my preferred version of the song.
U2 has made some absolutely amazing songs, but this has to be up there with the very best. Absolutely amazing lyrics.
The lyrics keep getting better as the song plays, Unbelievable song.
Your not wrong!!
Another masterpiece from U2.

Same.
This song brings tears to my eyes and that is very rare for me. This song is beautiful.
i guess when you hear the lyrics "...dont turn arououuuuund"...

Thank you Claudia. This version is the one i listened too after a bad break up. totally kept me alive.

"To me" is 'me too;' which is another cue for law enforcement working undercover, i.e. Craig (Wharmby) Robinson.
I agree and I wish I could have been like this type of person. Well said.🍻😝
You really need to know that you made my day today because you expressed my love for me knowing that you were able too ride out of my way and that I am impressed with your attitude towards the writing process I have been doing feel like you have a great comeback I love ❤️
Amazing writing ✍️ for me today

3:16 the best part, the other "U2" level!!!
Claudia.... Excellent taste!!!
Cette chanson me rappelle ma première petite amie de cœur d'adolescence..!

I like that line. I interpret salt water kisses as tears.
Who's gonna taste your salt-water kisses? /Who's gonna drown in your blue sea? /Who's gonna ride your wild horses? /Who's gonna take the place of me? .... I can't help but feeling Bono must have taken some inspiration from the Daphne Du Maurier novel "Rebecca" for this song.
2021 and still listening.
One of the best song ever go u2

I think the album version is better by quite some way, I love the echo..
@@bobafet6064 totally agree!
This song + some tequila shots + and being kicked down there= who wouldn't wants to cry?
3:59 mark- best part of the song
U2 ❤❤❤
Amazing!!!
Haven't heard this in years
nice song
Loving it
I really loved it song
When I was splitting up with my first wife about the time we got off the Zoo TV tour, she told me this song was about me. Still makes me feel bad when I hear it cause she was exactly right.
Great Tune

Class song
Their most romantic album really rocks.
Boooooo
Pure Poetry
Top 10 ever....
Best track on Achtung Baby
Oh, the deeper I spin
Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing at you and me
Hallelujah, heavens white rose
The doors you open
I just can't close
What a magic,
They dont make songs like that anymore, and i doubt there will ever will be a song like that ever again imo.
Brings back Beijing memories...should have stayed:(
Probably should have alright
the backbeat its amazing, i think Bono is singing about Ireland, but it could be about mother Earth.
Or about a woman........just because he's been with Ali all this time doesn't mean he can't write songs about relationships even if fake. Besides a lot of this album was inspired by Edge breaking up with his wife.
@@milkcarton6654 true!
The drumming reminds me of the drums at the start of ‘Gloria’
Someone might say that I'm crazy to dedicate most of this song to my country, but I do. (And some parts to myself "Don't turn around, .🎼❤️..and don't look back"...)
Acaso existe algo mas hermoso que esta canción?
Víctor Armando no me canso de escucharla
No!
Who's listening in 2023 to this master piece?
I miss my Åsa 💕
❤❤❤
You left My heart empty as a vacant lot. Now I’m finally becoming full of Me.
Good job
The agonizing back and forth breakup. He's begging her not to look back
It was nice song for me thanks
Nice
Almost like , poetry in motion, am I right ?
I still want the same things.
Not revenge, not bitterness.
Just family, friends and fun.
Seems simple and meant to be but it's not. Life is full of complicated people and people forget the basics of life which is all we need. Hope you do find it one day x

Its funny.. Story tellers.. I wonder only ... what are their memories.
It's about a fucked up relationship with a narcissist not only have I looked it up but it's pretty self explanatory
