  • Great peace of music! I love U2

  • "And so we're told this is the golden age

    And gold is the reason for the wars we wage

    Though I want to be with you

    Be with you night and day

    Nothing changes

    On New Year's Day

    On New Year's Day"

    WHY does they band FORGET this last lyric?

  • demmit the bass is Awesome!

  • love that bass tone coming out of Adams bass

  • WHAT A BITCH. GET SOME BABY

    And we can break through

    Though torn in two

    We can be one.

  • u2 forever... jesus the king of israel

  • adoro u2 é muito legal... sou fanzão... abraços a toda banda e aos fã clube....

  • Why cant bono play the piano & help out a little

  • I don't believe that these four men that make such powerful loving music which is all about love giving and sharing would do a tax dodge to benefit themselves.

    the reason they did it was to stop putting millions of their money into the hands of the Irish government puppets that have done and do nothing but waste money on corruption.They did it so that they can choose where to donate their tax money to.

  • this is perfect

  • i play bass because of this song

  • Make Poverty History... Pay some tax Bono

  • @MrAmadaeus ... lol so paying more tax to his govt is going to fix poverty. Please.. He's better off keeping the money and giving it to poorer developing nations like Africa.. oh wait.. he's already doing that.

  • @tcsonline So, by definition, we can all avoid paying tax.

    Thanks for sorting that complex issue out.

    One law for the rich and one for the poor, where do I go for my rebate then?

    

  • No. Regular tax cheats will do it for their own selfish purposes. not suggesting that Bono doesnt profit from taking his business offshore, but so do millions of starving kids around the world. If ever an exception could be made from judgement on taxation matters, then it's right here.

    Thousands of rich businessmen, pay less tax then they should.. Bono has the heart 2 give plenty to those who need it most. Somethin peopl like u, unfortunately dont appreciate.

  • @tcsonline First, Thanks for the reply. If you believe and Bono and the Tax Dodgers moved their affairs abroad for anything other than selfish reasons you're niave in the extreme. He gives money to charity then he should have an exception to paying taxes. Comedy gold.

  • @MrAmadaeus .. no. I think regular tax dodgers for the most part are doing it solely for selfish purposes. I think Bono does it for him and for others. No, it's not right to live in a country and not pay tax there, but when you're giving away million$ through the goodness of your heart, then i have no problem.

    You're the only joke here.

  • @tcsonline Bono has given away millions of his own money to help starving children.

  • @Netlocd .. im well aware.

  • This is one of there best songs. So muct soul and heart. when i look back on this song and the video mad in snow covered landscape i think... Damn, I was so young and so mutch in love with U2 and there political lyrics. So many times i allmost dropped tears to all there great songs, especialy this one!. Thx U2, for everything, you made my life great!!!!

  • U2 muito bom Vertigo 

  • For me, U2 was the Mother of One-Hit Wonders. When I heard this song, in the late seventies, I was floored. I took a roll of quarters to the bar each evening, to keep it playing on the juke box. No other song would do, such was its power at the time. This song was an entirely new experience. Nothing that U2 did afterward appealed to me very much.

  • @harry21868 interesting that youhave perfected time travel since this song was release in

    1983!!!!

  • Love this band, they put a lot of meaning to their songs, U2 FOREVER!

  • why do i love this song so much??... BECAUSE ITS F*CKIN AWESOME!!

  • idc what anyone says this is the best live version of this song

  • one of the things that makes u2 so incredible is the way they use so few notes and yet those few notes are the most impactful possible. such a wonderful minimalist style, yet so massive at the same time. just amazing.

  • Adam Clayton Bass Guitar!!! U2 are genius. Never tire of this song!

  • I agree with all here. Never tire of this. I think of this of song as so patrioritc, almnost no matter the country. But really I think of "eastern bloc" countries from my childhood in the early 80's - how us American's would see you again :-) We love you!!
