@DieMenschMaschine85 your welcome! I thought I will never get to see them myself after missing out in the 90's. I finally got to see them in 2006 not far from One Tree Hill itself!
Was up there today with hubby's uncle who has cancer. He was rapt to see his two little nieces aged 11 & 12 but they kept asking where is the tree? We told them that the tree was chopped down, but the tree's spirit lives on through this very song. Thank you U2 :)
Awesome song. Went to Auckland gig in 93. My mate Max was journo and he lived in NZ. I Stayed in Auck after finishing job here - no work so back home 2 Aus. Max wrote for Dominion and reviewed cs and edited Army newspaper . He passed this year. but don't know circ. when I was in Auck I went to One Tree Hill . Awesome . To any of his mates g'day and have beer for me. Great value . As for the song - it was Max told me about it. A Brilliant piece of work An amzing album. Peter
Bono and U2. NZ needs you now. Please do a concert in NZ and for Christchurch. Please donate all proceeds and profit to those in the Christchurch region who are going through such difficult times. U2.You are NZers as you have that connection with our country. Our country needs you now.Kia Kaha to those we call Our NZers through out the world at this most tragic of events.There are many bands that come and go through NZ but it seems like U2 truly are NZers/Kiwis.

After 30 plus years of listening to these Irish rock legends; they still sound fresh and clear. Their music has always struck a chord in my life and memory. I hope they live forever.
@hanstonk Amen! Have you read any of their books? Check out "Walk On ~ The Spiritual Journey of U2" or "Get Up Off Your Knees". Very, very good stuff.
This song is of Bono's assistant who died in a motorcycle crash, Bono said he would only sing this song once, so he recorded this entirely in one take.
@tonytone74 One tree hill is a famous land mark in Auckland New Zealand. Protestors tried to cut it down a few years back and it eventually had to be removed. bonos assistant who died was a kiwi. i went to a U2 concert in Auckland a few years back and it was their first time back in NZ since he died... was very moving, he sung this song and half the crowd was in tears. i think this is the only time he's preformed it live... but i could be wrong. i'm sure someone will correct me if i am.
How beautiful, "TheJoshua Tree" album was dedicated to Greg Carroll, a NZ Maori who was part of their team for 2years. When he passed away, they made this song for him . Died 3/7/86 ... R.I.P !!! xx
Coming from a Paddy I have always found this U2s most moving and powerful song. Written for and probably about a good Kiwi, their Roadie Gregg Carrol.
@chjohnst Eh. It's definitely chill, I'll give you that. I just find "the Edge's" guitar "playing" to be mind-numbingly dull. All he does is tap a few notes here and there and reloop it through several echoes. He really hardly actually plays.
@v01741r31 lol don't be so fucking pretentious. I can respect lots of chill/relaxed music. U2 is neither. It's just simplistic, boring, crap. As a matter of fact, now I see where you get your pretentiousness from.
Lol, I wasn't being pretentious. Its slightly more difficult to even discern that in a comment box. Any ways that's your opinion. This happens to be beautiful music in my opinion. Its not like U2 is equivalent to Disney channel crap, you have to at least admit that they have musical integrity. In other words, its not totally void of any substance. If you can't admit that then fuck you (friendly f-u, not mean kind)
Good, at least you can admit that. That's your opinion. I don't really like listening to Mozart... yet his musical sophistication surpasses probably anyone's. Mozart has GOOD music, its just simply not a type of music that speaks to me, most of the time. As long as we are not talking about something that is so awful to the point where we can't respect it period, most music is subject to opinion. That's all it is. People are drawn to music that speaks to their emotion and their spirit.
Its the exact same thing as types of ice cream. I like vanilla, I dislike chocolate. It doesn't mean I am inferior or stupid, it means that I have a different interpretation of the information being presented to me. Music is just a bunch of vibrations of sound waves, we each interpret them differently as well as the message, emotion, and spirit of the music. Most of it is entirely subjective. You can't really go around stating your opinion as fact when fact isn't even applicable.
What a seriously sick in the head comment, like these guys [U2] knew and loved this guy and wrote this tribute in his memory, and what a source of grief ventilation it must be for everyone who knew the guy, how dare you metaphorically picket the heartfelt sentiments contained in this universal homage to the sudden loss of loved ones the world over
The melody= nearly perfect or perfect, used to be my little secret song, felt likeI was holdinf a morsel of gold when I first heard it ! So soulful !! Long live Rock and Roll,Berry,Lennon and Joe Strummer ! Go away RAP,britney and madonna.

@KenfromDublin Calm down! It's only Bono, not God, I doubt I'll end up burning in hell for all eternity for finding his voice irritating. And the only heartfelt sentiment I expressed on the song, metaphorically or otherwise, was that I loved it.

My dad named me after this song...at 2:06....Jara, that's my name!!! And this is why U2 is great...not only what they have done for me, but for what they have done for everyone in the world. When it comes to music, charities, donations, and hope. U2 is and will always be the best band ever..
@5500dannyk . Probably the reason there are so few hits comparitively is because the single was TOTALLY EXCLUSIVE to NZ. Pressed in Oz oweing to lack of resources and there was pressure I believe for local relase here. NO. It was NZ only and spent 6 weks there at No1. . My mate knew the manager at Festival Records. . Saw them in Auck but don't recall if they played it in the New Zooland Tour of 93 .
@eppeywonder Bono played a solo abbreviated version in '93.He played it in the slot often filled with unchained melody in other shows,just before 'Until the end of the world'.Played the full version in '89 though...
@eppeywonder Can't comment on the specifics, but I'm a Canadian who temporarily lived very close to One Tree Hill in 1986. I don't think this song was exclusive to NZ, because I very clearly remember hearing it in Canada in the late eighties.
@ApriliaNinja ~~your Dad was deep.... to pull that out of that song and feel strongly enough about it to name you Jara....beautiful!! thanks for sharing.
After 25 years of listening exclusively to rock music, there are only 2 albums that I rediscover at different times in my life as I've gotten older. Those albums are The Joshua Tree by U2 and The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd.
The sheer depth and cohesiveness of the imagery in this album is the work of genius.
@schitzonix ...that is really good analysis there....gotta say the Wall for me is Pink Floyds best but agree about the joshua tree...hadn;t listened to it for ages till today but blows me away every time..quality
there are moments in music history we can look back and say that was a great time! the joshua tree, rubber soul, revolver, definatly maybe, the la's exile on main street, blood on the tracks etc etc. This is definatly one of the best albums of all time and certainly has the best 4 song start to an album ever! sad story behind this song and a great tune!
The end of this song is pure pwnage! And can I ask the uploader how he/she made the slideshow with effects? (You must be an artist since you did pick pretty good and "fitting" pictures)
Well, the scenery @ 3:12 is pretty obvious to me. Cuz I live there lol, it's called the "bulb-region" in Holland. The name leaves not much space for rhe imigination does it?
Not sure, but the song is called One Tree Hill, as there is a hill in Auckland, New Zealand called One Tree Hill and this song was written for one of U2's roadies who died in a motorbike crash, who was from Auckland NZ
I remember when I got this CD - it was the first CD I ever purchased - The sound was amazing and the whole CD was played over and over again. Loved it than - love even more today
If I had to pick one U@ album to keep forever then "The Joshua Tree" is that album, no question about it. And this song is, to me, the most moving of all the songs. No surprise then to hear that it was written for the Maori U2 roadie worker who died on Bono's Harley during the tour.
I have the tvnz made vid for this but can't figure out how to convert to youtube . it has some footage of the band going to greg carroll's funeral in wanganui in 86?? . It's a mix of their earlier vids but has one tree hill auckland footage mixed in + greg carroll

there are moments in music history we can look back and say that was a great time! the joshua tree, rubber soul, revolver, definatly maybe, the la's exile on main street, blood on the tracks etc etc. This is definatly one of the best albums of all time and certainly has the best 4 song start to an album ever! sad story behind this song and a great tune!

Well, the scenery @ 3:12 is pretty obvious to me. Cuz I live there lol, it's called the "bulb-region" in Holland. The name leaves not much space for rhe imigination does it?
InsomnicNarcoleptic 1 year ago
Not sure, but the song is called One Tree Hill, as there is a hill in Auckland, New Zealand called One Tree Hill and this song was written for one of U2's roadies who died in a motorbike crash, who was from Auckland NZ

If I had to pick one U@ album to keep forever then "The Joshua Tree" is that album, no question about it. And this song is, to me, the most moving of all the songs. No surprise then to hear that it was written for the Maori U2 roadie worker who died on Bono's Harley during the tour.
