U2 - So Cruel

[mardeepmode]

Well... sorry... but I prefer David Gahan's voice in the DM cover made for this album. =)

Different singers, different tastes... different opinions!

[andreatalarico11]

album piu dello degli u2

[MrCURBSIDE]

great song and there best album.

[rafikworld]

yes it's the best album of u2... et je vie cette chanson & my love is so cruel

[tposlusny]

Sorry it's their best album!!

[Herbuliss]

To Stay With You , I;d Be a Foul... Truer words have never been written.. H

[MPL029]

This song makes me all wet!!

[Stratman389]

this song is heavy

[MPL029]

Perfection!

[masterstif13]

nothing is compared to the original one. U2 are true legends and their songs are untouchable.

[SBKinsella]

@masterstif13 TESTIFY!!! U2 are Gods!

[nephelim9]

one of my favorites songs

[junyahya]

Love this song

[BryonThePoet]

One of their best. Underplayed, but a classic.

[FastPonyGT]

DM's copycat version, although good, can't match up with U2's original version. Bono pours out his heart and soul about his ex-wife, and that can't be duplicated.

[Herbuliss]

Great Tune...Fuck Any One Who Dares to Cover This Tune !



[czesterczitos]

Dave Gahan sang in more "bono-ish" way than Bono did in the original version :D. I was really shocked when I heard the original the first time.

[volney722]

really?



[Kadishona]

DM's cover lacks the tonality and the 'musical' feeling

[leoking76]

@Kadishona Unfortunately for you, DM's cover is better, I like their sound better, I like David's voice better. So it is only a matter of taste ;)

[Kadishona]

@leoking76 Ahahahha True that, mate. :-) It all comes to taste.

[supraboy77]

such a delicate and beautiful song.

[rgtl2093]

Depeche Mode's cover is pretty good...but a song written by U2 will always sound better with U2

[tom260481]

without a doubt the best u2 song, every sentence poetry, every sentence so powerful, every sentence heavenly...

[PD187540]

omg the Depeche Mode cover of this is AMAZING. Maybe I'm just partial, but hearing DM's version first makes me think that it should have been THEIR song! FANTASTIC!

[dublinbarterclub]

I think they should pay the real co-writer of this song. She does however like the fact that the Achtung Baby cover album is being used to raise funds for the 3rd world as she raises funds for the 3rd world in Oxfam.

[ultimateanimedorkboy]

Happy 20th Birthday Achtung Baby! :D

[Stereotype23]

The best song ever written on heartbreak.

[therealist111]

Without question one of U2's best. I only wish they played it on the 360 Tour. There may be cover's out there. But the best is still the original!

[mar1amb2]

People stop, inTheFade26, gave us a great copy of U2's So Cruel. Who cares who wrote it or whatever. Enjoy the music Please!!!!!

[JES156]

@DabingPortal

you're INSANE!!!!!!!!!!

[JES156]

Are you all high? This is one one of the best songs ever written Depeche Mode my f'n ass!!!!

[czech698]

pls snd mny I am broke 723 bedford dr 83202 g.ard

[killer600000]

Probably the worst track on Achtung Baby!

[anacrobat89]

The tempo is a bit fast on this upload. This song has a lightly slower tempo.

[losangelesclasssub]

i wish i had never met her.....she dessapear from me.

[lesassassins]

U2 fell so down in commercialism since All That You Can't... I miss the good old times, when they were artistically ambitious, when they never cared about the criticism, but when POP was destroyed by most critics they took the easy way. I don't think we're going to listen a masterpiece like this again.

[bladerunner53311]

@lesassassins pop is masterpiece in my book!

[lesassassins]

@bladerunner53311 yes, it is. nothing like please, do you feel loved, or wake up dead man. or velvet dress.

[bladerunner53311]

@lesassassins id add discotheque and mofo, they might seem like overactive egomania but i adore these tracks

[JesusCristo2002]

If anyone has the "Super Deluxe Edition" re-release of "Achtung Baby", please post the "Uber", "Unter", B-Sides, Outtakes and "Kindergarten" Demos!!! I would love to hear them!!!! I should have waited several months for the re-release, I bought the album back in January!!! Damnit!!

[jwlprd]

One of the most creative and inspiring peices of music I've ever heard. Bono's lyrics are masterful. The entire Achtung Baby album is a masterpeice of creativity and musical expression. The most intellectually riveting album of our time.

[dave790]

Great song. I think the DM spin on it does it justice; it doesn't stray too far and retains it's beauty, I think Dave Gahan's vocals on the chorus in particular stand out. Good work all round!

[kalq007]

@dave790 u make me fuckin' laugh u talk of a dm cover and u do not recognise the keyboards dm used in higher love that 90% match the keyboards here.and aparently they worked with the same producer at the time!!!!!! the dm cover is an absolute crap as almost everything else they have done since they left ...............MUTE!!!

[kalq007]

however if u like it enjoy it,MUTE taste doesn't necessarily much village idiots and self destructing tastes!!

[dave790]

@kalq007 What are you talking about? I think it's fair to say DM were working with keyboards and electronic sounds long before U2, so I don't see your point. Then again, your point is hardly clear. You are also wrong. They also worked with different producers. Look it up. In any case, I like both versions of the song, I don't really think I've criticized U2 once. Your point about similar keyboards with a different song is off-topic and also misjudged: this and Higher Love are not similar.

[Isaacyeah1]

Eleven people would rather listen to justin bieber!

[jorgemrjesus]

My two favorites bands together, is awesome.

[MrBuc128]

I'm tellin ya.If U2 had broken up after this album they would be legendary.Oh yes I know that they are but if they had gone out on top with this album which I think was a masterpiece they would be beyond legend. Up until this point they had made only great albums each one better then the previous. After this however it all went down hill and they have been giving us crap for 20 years now.

[theSid51]

SOY FAN DE DEPECHE MODE Y DE U2 NO PERO PERSONALMENTE ME GUSTA MAS LA VERSION DE U2-SO CRUEL :')

[LolaLavonda]

this song is about to make me cry.

[belltran23]

this song is a real heartbreaker of a song........I love you mr john............

[Jonasradioetv]

‎"I gave you everything you ever wanted, but it wasn't what you wanted..." ♫

[stephentooth]

Fabulous original version.

[AdrianRamundo]

DM is my favourite band ever, but only a few steps ahead of U2... nevertheless the original is sooooo much better than DM cover. The essential difference is that Bono sang it so passionately while Dave only sang it as a simple song, huge mistake!

[MrLexus888]

i love u2 i love depeche mode i love all new wave artist

[Syntezator]

DM cover ;] watch?v=m1E5a3-oHrA

[Hirnlego999]

Let me say that I like both this original and DMs cover!

[hinrge13]

"between the horses of love and lust we are tampled... under foot"

[printezi]

just broke up.sweetheart you re so cruel..

[LolaLavonda]

i've always thought david gahan kind of looked like bono...

[loesoomen]

so true, that's why it;s so beautiful

[unicornkp]

id rather hear u2 do blasphemous rumors but no ill keep an open mind it might be good

[codimis]

I'm not putting this band down in anyway, just not my thing, but this song is EPIC

[raph420]

i heard DEPECHE MODE will cover this song on the next U2 tribute album....can't wait to hear it

[azza2dog]

class



[DarthZima]

Haunting.

[lemoyne101]

Depeche Mode is doing a cover of So Cruel! It will be awesome!

[rytm242]

@lemoyne101 Yessssssssss!!!!  ☺

[dnlrsn9]

@lemoyne101 i hope so..i don't like the cover in general but from dm is different to me.

[NoblyRotten]

@lemoyne101

I am a big fan of both Depeche Mode and U2, and, I have to say, for the band who have released the better albums recently, their cover really does not do this song justice.

[kalq007]

@lemoyne101 who cares

[mutedisease]

@lemoyne101 ...disappointment. =(

[Kadishona]

@lemoyne101 Sorry, it is not...

[TheBlushingcheeks]

LOVE IT..

[zzwild]

Quintessentiall cerebral man

[numbers1through4]

Radiohead. Wins.

[blutobelushi]

women are such pigs.

[AvisvilladOgna]

No: io non amo chi non mi ama. Perché ho capito che è un esercizio sterile e inutile. E così come ho passato questi quattro anni a ricordarti, così trascorrerò gli ultimi quattro mesi a dimenticarti. E farò in modo che il mio vuoto sia il più vertiginoso e violento possibile.Grazie comunque piccola, per avermi tolto anche quest’ultima illusione: quella di essere amato da te… You're so cruel...

[badasslili]

i love that



[bluebottle08]

7 dislikes = 7 human beings with 0 emotion..

[thecrookedman1]

Amazing Amazing song, in every way...

the words, the music, the production, the sentiment, the passion, the tune, the singing........

[TNMEBDMSlover]

this melts me. Bono's voice absolutely melts me!!

[ProgBassistPhx]

This song -- and most of the Achtung Baby album, for that matter -- could be the soundtrack of my love life.

[RikBison]

my favorite line ... and a woman needs aman LIKE A FISH NEEDS A BICYCLE,,, remonds me of WOMAN INCHAINS

[horsey05]

@RikBison That's from another song by U2 called "Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World."

[machanalan]

love this song

[PatitoAlmeida]

Tus labios dicen una cosa y tus movimientos hacen otra, simplemente una noche dijiste adiós, mi esperanza es que en una serie de errores este no sea el más grande... hasta pronto!!!

[nenette0282]

J'adoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooore U2 !!! Meilleur groupe de tous les temps.

[decoydad]

bono your a genious! how do u come up with these lyrics? i respest you so much for helping me express myself. your so awesome! your right up there with nurses and firefighters :) you saved my soul

[02ultraviolet]

El Achtung Baby es el álbum ke más me ha gustado... U2 4ever.

[Abi1611]

THAT WAS HORRIBBLLLEE.

\

[seanmufc77]

The greatest song ever by the greatest band ever on the greatest album ever wrote

[RikBison]

I do love U2 - -but peeps PLEASE! As if God would have it in his iPod he would have the song that has the lyruc - - . . . and a woman needs a man - like a fish needs a bicycle.. RIDE That!

[fattyjah]

Every song should be greater than 5 minutes ; or you've got fk all to say

[maskotka11]

look for you but your spirit is in the air ... baby you're nowhere

[TheToolatefrozen]

How can ANYONE dislike this song??  People must have no music taste now-a-days. Such a beautiful song... so moving. AND from one of the best albums of all time.

[Etalex77]

I gave you everything you ever wanted...it wasn't what she wanted.

[luckylongarm1]

the men who love you, you hate the most

[TheTammylee513]

To stay with you I'd be a fool.......

[synergenik]

u2 are always here to take me to a better place... love it

[grntara78]

God, i love this song.....

[Mrsteddyz]

her skin is pale like God's only Dove, screams like an angel for your love, then she makes you watch her from above...and you need her like a drug

[U2girl88]

U2 is so good that i dont even have the slightest intrest of listining to anything else.

[virnan]

@U2girl88 Agreed. I can listen to most of their music all the time. So many great songs. Achtung Baby is pure genius. This song is so underated. The best music album of all time. ACHTUNG BABY!

[Herbuliss]

This Song has a Truth that is so pure..I have no words.

[Bassmate]

Adam makes this song once again...

[sjbeaulieu]

achtung baby is by far the greatest album from beginning to end of all songs over any album ever. if you dont believe just listen from begining to end and then play another album from start to finish and you will agree

[ZeBeto2008]

I have the original LP ;)

[LYNF67]

@ZeBeto2008

so do I and every other album too......yes I am afraid I am that old

[2IP1IS]

6 dooshbags!

[JackyDollyRocker]

Turn it up!!!!!

[gibsonvox]

best album by any band ever!



[MickeyO74]

Put this song in a playlist next to All I Want Is You and repeat it with headphones on.....as close to heaven as is possible!! Deep, poetic, painful and most importantly.....true, true!!

[aminevich]

how is it possible that a singer can channel the voice of god and gently push you to recall your own heartbreak? When I first got this CD, I listened to the whole album and then put this song on repeat for days. Each time this song it felt deeper.

[aguessacity]

Achtung Baby is one of the best album of U2 :p

[swine74]

most overrated band ever

[Korndude4561]

@swine74 But one of the best

[Larrus2007]

@swine74 Most lame comment ever

[LoloMJlove]

Sweetheart, you're so cruel

[CCubed1717]

6 people are so cruel...

[makersmark90]

@CCubed1717 made me smile, thanks...

[Herbuliss]

This song screams the truth about what happens when love goes bad.

[Korndude4561]

6 people suck dick

[Ruthyboom]

the man who loved me I hate the most...

[asusundevils1971]

Ive gave you everthing you wanted wasnt what you wanted... the man who loves you, you hate them most... they past through you like a ghost....

[assfacerz]

this song tugs the heart strings of the hardest people listen enjoy

[assfacerz]

this song tugs the heart strings of the hardest

[dalsenov]

Another killing song from U2!

[ouroboros973]

Between the horses of love and lust we are trampled...underfoot.

Naïveté+Crédulité+Mauvaise foi = les masques tombent...

[ouroboros973]

Between the horses of love and lust we are trampled...underfoot.

[Taniaflomar]

YOU ARE SO CRUEL!!!!

[Taniaflomar]

@Taniaflomar AND YOU NEED HER LIKE A DRUG!!!

[ouroboros973]

i'm only hanging on to watch you go down...My Love...

[u2bdetox]

@ouroboros973 I was just going to type that out. I love that line.

[never4everuk]

@dalotel I am exactly the same this song means a lot to me from a personal point of view. That line really kept me going "only hanging on to watch you go down" after wasting ten years of my life on someone who wasn't worth it!

[methuselus]

@ouroboros973 that's from the deep recesses of human nature

[marzanin]

you stay in a front of sound, sometimes one brings you on the top hill, can be u2 ! 

[ouroboros973]

Como se dice "aveugle"???? LOVE/TRUST

[mashishi999]

so cruel is so cool

[blarneystoned10]

what is fucking wrong with this track it sounds crap

[sbonner]

Most under-rated U2 song ever. I absolutely love the lyrics.

I'm only hanging on, to watch you go down......my love

[jlb8294]

Best song from them ever...period

[hayleylovesjordann09]

[TheAmy3338]

Oh God, the amount of times i kissed my ex, "to stop the lies" as bono puts it, is so true. Easier to kiss him than hear yet more lies. U2 are just life in music form.

[Chubachus]

[flintoff343]
