After their career is finally over, U2 will not only leave behind one of the biggest footprints in the history of rock, they’ll leave behind one of the biggest footprints in the history of music. Their 'competition' isn't just rock legends like The Beatles, Elvis, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones-- it's people like Mozart, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Duke Ellington. They are truly one of the ALL-TIME greats. Anyone who doesn't understand this needs to listen to their ENTIRE catalog.
I was playing this song out loud and my roommate heard the intro and ask "I didn't know u liked john mayer"--he thought it was heartbreak warfare -___-'
@micka20085 Why is that? Maybe because you were fucked in the ass whille the big guy was slaping you to the sond of this wonderfull music? Just be quiet please.
u2 u guys have an amazing sound unlike no other band its awesome i started a band called living water and we have a video called fish by living water you guys inspired us
Its amazing how this song actually has all the elements of a story, and it build up to a climax and then a resolution. My English teacher was right, this song is amazing.
@tinkidory I know the feeling man. I've lost my girlfriend on 15 february this year. And it broke my heart, it still is. But U2 can make my day good, just by being so awesome!
I subbed just so know it man :) and by the way, this song... I can't describe it. It reminds me of good times and bad times at the same time. It reminds me of times when my life was simple, before I lost my girlfriend. Unfortunately, I can't change the passed. U2 saved my life.
Love U2... will never forget Pittsburgh 2011, and feeling so lucky to hear them play Bad LIVE to end the US Tour and the penultimate ending to the entire 360 tour!

U2 are the best band EVER, close 2nd's are Pearl Jam, CCR, .....thats it! I mean i have no others..u might say Rolling Stones, Beetles...perhaps...i will give u the beetles, rolling stones, Leonard Cohen, Dylan, Stevens.....on their own....but the fact remains that U2 are the best!
@griessinthewood Actually I'm having trouble finding the link myself now. Here is some info on the young boy : The boy on the cover is Peter Rowan (actor) (brother of Bono's friend, Guggi). He also appears on the covers of Three, War, The Best of 1980-1990, and Early Demos.The photographer, Hugo McGuiness, and the sleeve designer, Steve Averill (a friend of bassist Adam Clayton), went on to work on several more U2 album covers.
@griessinthewood The image had to be changed to a distorted picture of the band for Canada and the United States, due to fears that the band would be accused of child pornography.
@thebatmankills Sorry but you're wrong. I don't wanna discuss with you but if you knew every U2 song perfectly, you'd see that aren't samey as you said.
I don't know why everyone got so offended by @thebatmankills... I'm a huge u2 fan, in fact they're my favorite band. But there's no need to get defensive over this person's opinion
People love biting bait.. you've only got to say one minor negative thing any everyone one goes mental.. truth is I like a couple of U2's song (e.g Sunday Bloody Sunday) but alot of their stuff is very "samey".. even if Im wrong, who cares?
So awesome, there's nowhere to begin..... Just sublime
