After their career is finally over, U2 will not only leave behind one of the biggest footprints in the history of rock, they will 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.
The vocals are incredible on this recording. They put so much into the guitar work. They made this song fresh and relevant. U2 has been around for years, working at their craft, experimenting, improving; enriching our lives with their beauty.
ive been playing this song since 1984 on new years day. exvept for yesterday... i had a freakin hang over and forgot lol.....happy belated new years day everyone in the world!!!!
Great job on this montage! Seamless--sent chills. I saw U2 do their impromptu concert in the 80s at Justin Herman Plaza in SF. Love this song. Happy New Year!
“Another fresh new year is here . . . Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, To love and laugh and give! This bright new year is given me To live each day with zest . . . To daily grow and try to be My highest and my best! I have the opportunity Once more to right some wrongs, To pray for peace, to plant a tree, And sing more joyful songs!” William Arthur Ward
@toyynewspaper all of U2's songs sound the same? you must be on crack cause you really know nothing about U2's music then ....compare the music on the album to the music on The Joshua Tree and maybe next time you wont insert foot in mouth
Happy New Years From Canada! Something to keep in mind as we begin the new year, As people we have nothing less in common than the imaginary geopolitical lines our governments draw in the earth to separate us from each other. This year, lets make a promise to ourselves and to each other, that we will no longer let our governments builds walls of segregation that serve only to destroy what our humanity demands of us, becoming one with each other, becoming one with the world! )=(PEACE)=( :0)
@paramedicdap Happy New Years to you and that this statement holds true for us all, we are all on the same "Big Blue Marble" and from space you don't see fences, borders, politics, race, religion or skin color.....We are all "Collective Souls" here....May we forever find peace, love and good fortune in our time on it!!
I really enjoyed this version, the vid clips take me back on a journey of how much I love U2 and having been a fan since 1983, seeing them at The Santa Monica Civic in California and the time in 2010 at the Rose Bowl (Pasadena, Ca)...Life is full Circle and there will forever be "New Years Days".
Bono, Go fuck Yourself from Boston! You've made millions complaining about the American Government (pre-Obama) and have gotten rich disgracing Your own Patriotic Fore Fathers that got You the freedom You shit on. Put down Your white surrender flag and microphone and pick up a rifle and grenade. Instead of singing about Bloody Sunday fight back. I am Irish American and prefer the music of people that respect their founding fathers. God bless Padraic Pearse, Mic Collins, James Connoly and the rest
Great Video Tommymcgregor!!! :) can someone Tellier me what Bono s saying while holding that flag? Something "imagine..." :) have à great new year 2012 everyone.
Ukochana piosenka Polaków :) Wielki szacunek dla Bono, U2 i tych ludzi którzy zorganizowali i przyczynili się do akcji w Chorzowie w 2009. Pokazaliście, że nasz naród jest zdolny do naprawdę wielkich rzeczy. Dzięki. Jestem szczerze wzruszona. U2 best band EVER!
No one's probably gonna read this, but I’ll say it anyway cuz I feel at least 1 person will. I'm a young designer and graffiti artist, I know there's a million out there but I feel like my art has a unique individual style.
If you just take a min and give me a chance I'll make you a believer. I would love nothing more than to have a loyal following on youtube. If anyone who reads this could press the "THUMBS UP" others will see it. Just a simple button push will make a huge difference.
