  • Long live Ireland!

    tamuna( from georgia)

  • At least my generation (this song) had good tunes.

  • @violingineer I agree!!!  Well said!!

  • Long live Ireland! I wish I could move there. My great-great-grandfather emigrated, or was shoved out of Eire due to the famine into the US. I would emigrate back there in no time at all were it made available. A MacSurtain/Jordan descendant.

  • Bono can be a right wanker when he starts the "save the world" bollocks but the music of U2 is great. Real Irish up yours wankers and musically powerfull... dare you disagree.

  • Bo0,m%$.

  • BONO=JOHN TERRY

  • U2 wrote "Miami"

  • "Free at last. They took your life. They could not take your PRIDEEEE." Listening to these lyrics and seeing Bono throw the mic on 3:05 GIVES ME THE CHILLS.....LONG LIVE MLK...

  • in the name of love... that says it all... don't you guys agree? who the hell doesn't like this song?

  • Vamos Velez sarsfield!!! Campeon!!

  • one my come and go

    great song U2 rules

  • its "one MAN come and go" dummy...

  • yes, you've discover garlic's soup...

  • Excellent sound.

    Excellent band.

  • goding

  • bra låt

  • in the Name of Love!!!

  • i´am hip hoper,but this song lovin...the best song of u2!!!! perfect,beautifle...........

  • Agreed, definitely their best soulful song.

  • I use to see BONO in Boston,(Somerville) when the band first started. Use to see BONO walking around, not many knew who he was..Talked to him once, nice guy.Wish I had taken him up on the coffee now? oh well

  • i'm not sure if it's u2, but does anyone know of a video where there are two buses, one that has the image of a female body and the other with a male body painted on the roof, driving around the city, and at the end of the music video, they meet at an intersection?

    if anyone can reply back to me, it would be sooo much appreciated

  • one

  • Its One. Do a search for One Anton Corbjin Version and you'll find it. They made two different videos for that song.

  • Comment removed

  • awesome as always...wish I could afford to see them........

  • lol i get shivers every time he says "memphis skyyyy!" absolutely incredible!!!

  • U2 sings with passion and heart that anyone who pays attention knows how brilliant their work is.

  • Long live the 80's

  • it just becomes about making money now a days

  • this song was sung about mlk

  • bono was the king of the mullet. but now he cut it short.

  • If anyone knows where the U2 Pride video with Greenpeace, saving the whales is, please post it to me. thanks, Cindy

  • Id love to see it, too.

  • yeah this song rocks, u2 was way ahead of their time

  • what happended that people can't make this kinda music anymore? this band defined a generation.

  • Oh yeah!!

  • As Bob Seger said: "Today's music ain't got no soul."

  • They can, it's just really rare. Check out the swedish band Kent and the songs: 747 (eng or swe version) and "på drift" (you might want to copy that name due to the "å". If you like those, you will like 95% of all songs they've made.

  • The original is from the unforgettable album, meaning this version here. The remake was on Rattle and hum, sorry my mistake........

  • Love this song, and to those who dont know, this song is from the "unforgettable fire" album, not the joshua tree or rattle and hum...........

  • im sorry but i cant stand bono's hair in this video. its just too chick like..but anyways amazing song

  • Its called a mullen, and ya, it looks alittle funny. I agree, its an amazing song.

  • oh come on you gotta love the mullet! :D

  • Great shots of the liffey ! ! !

  • ???

    Where'd you come up with this?

  • this song has always been the alpha rhythm of my life...

  • i Love this song!!! U2 <3

  • They (music industry) just do not make this kind of music anymore... a.k.a. GOOD MUSIC~!

    Why do you think "older" bands are all having "come backs"??? Today's "eye candy singers" are just...uh, B.S.

    The End.

  • true although Bono was still eye candy too ;) ...granted he was talented eye candy

  • in the early 80s I already sort-of-liked U2 but when this song came out in late 1984....WHOA!!!!.....BLAM!!!!.­...THIS ONE MADE ME A FAN!!!!!!....a very brilliant (moving) tribute song about Martin Luther King...this is one of U2s BEST SONGS.....LOVE IT!!!!!!!

  • It is also about Jesus Christ.

    One man cut on a barbed wire fence(the crown of thorns)

    One man he resists(when Satan tempted him on the mountain top)

    One man washed on an empty beach(by John the Baptist)

    One man betrayed with a kiss (by Judas so the Roman guards knew who to arrest.)

  • U2 rox!!!

  • Amazing!!! this song introduced me to U2.....such passion...such love in this song.....Bravo Bono and the rest of U2....Vintage U2

  • 命を奪う事はできても、尊厳まで奪う事はできない。

  • I love this song et j'adore U2 !!!!!!!!!!!

  • This song is the greatest i have ever heard it remind me of casper the friendly ghost "i hope you like me too". as for U2 this is the greatest song for humanity and those who have none bondage or being deprived of human rights and the mere mention of memphis just sang out justice in my heart in the name of love and the appreciation of life in the name of love i hope you like me too. in the name of love they could not take your pride

  • Ok I like having Obama and everything but I think saying this is about him is going way too far. He hasn't done anything worthy of that.

  • i still remember when i saw this song live in monterrey, by that time i didn't knew who they where, but i went crazy in the concert, from then on, i am a big fan

  • This is the version i was looking for!!! Yes! Awsome song. Bono sings with such feeling in this video. Dam he is cute!!

  • They ought to be playing this every morning in those Chicago High Schools.

    All those nasty, hateful bullies/gang-bangers ought to be bombarded with this thought every day: What would Martin think?

  • in the name!!!!! offf love what more in the name of lovvve

  • LOVE IT<33333333333333333333

  • I like how this song is used in that documentary about MLK on the history channel.

  • god, the song is from the unforgettable fire !

    Unforgettable song. This was how I was introduced to U2.

    aaah finally XD had this song stuck in my head for months, lol. Great song!!

  • aaah finally XD had this song stuck in my head for weeks! thanks for the post :D

  • Unforgettable song. This was how I was introduced to U2.

  • Same xD

  • Comment removed

  • god, the song is from the unforgettable fire !

  • Great thanks. But this song is from The Joshua Tree album, not Unforgettable Fire

  • Wrong its from the album "Rattle and Hum"

  • yes you are right!

  • correct

  • I agree about the drumming in this.

    I have played this song and album over and over and over and over again in the past 20 years. Classic.

  • this song reminds me of the beatles, of john lennon in particular

  • This song makes me cry because she is very beautiful! Your benevolent sense makes me sad and happy at the same time ... Inspires me perseverance and pride of humility that Jesus gave us... What more in name of love? sensational!

  • Yes, this song talksabout MLK,but it refers to the betrayal of Jesus (By Judas), too!

    U2 often has "Religious Notes"in their music, and this song is NOT only about MLK, nor Jesus, but about altruistic love, and its betrayal (And our loss for such acts)

    rbwsoul

  • Check out the lyrics from Achtung Baby's 'Until The End of the World'

  • Aww this is an Awesome song!!<3

    In The Name Of Love!! ('ll)

  • my uncle used to manage them

  • ha ya this song is about Martin Luther King Jr.

  • man this makes me think of Martin Luther King Jr that man was a sweet man long live the king.

  • My favorite U2 song. Fantastic drumming, great vocals & awesome guitar licks make this song what it is. Love this video, too! :)

  • gota love the 80s :)

  • friken midget. okwhatever, yeha one man come..cept he aint no...wait, what have I become,,,I must save alllafrican midgets now!

  • In the nammeeee offf loveeee!!

  • I first heard this song when I was in high school.

  • bonos voice is so amazing in this video.....probably cuz he was 24 (i think) at that time.

  • This song is so about the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Thank You

  • Early morning, April 4

    Shot rings out in the Memphis sky

    Free at last, they took your life

    They could not take your pride

    (MLK died at 4th of April)

  • in memphis might i add

  • OK, I love U2 and everything but this really sucked at Obama's inaugeration. Bono's voice was completely shot.

  • It's Good Friday,Easter and the song says it all.

  • IN THE NAME OF A MOLINK

  • IN THE NAME LOVE

  • Why is the music video moving so slow? Thank You.

  • The song was written for Ronald reagan, later altered for mlk

  • mentira

  • in the name! of love!!!!!

  • My version is this: "Early morning, September 11 planes crash into the Trade Center towers." Thank You.

  • That made me laugh :P

  • This song is about the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Just so everybody knows. Thank You.

  • I decided to google your claim, and you're right. It does refer to the date and everything to lead one to believe it's about Martin Luther Kings assination. When people say things, I always go and check if they're right. Thanks for that because I never knew.

  • They're as good now as back then! Past, present, future, bono, U2, whatever, they're good!!!!!!!!!! no, GREAT! u2 {bono} 4eva!

  • One man caught on a barbed wire fence - the soldiers of WWI

    One man he resist - the pacifists who opposed the war

    One man washed on an empty beach - I think this is Roger Casement, who was captured on Banna Strand, arrested and executed for his part in the Easter Rising

    One man betrayed with a kiss - Jesus, of course

    Obviously, the last verse is about Martin Luther King's assassination

  • thx, it makes a bit more sence now :D

  • What does "one man come in the name of love and One man come and go" mean, AngelofAvalon719? Thank You.

  • well I'd suppose it's the entry to the meaning of the song, one man come in the name of love, and one man come and go. Maybe he meant that every great man comes in the name of love at first and must go with death (john lennon, jesus, mlk) etc

  • Im gonna have to guess hes speaking about jesus...idk its a good guess theyre really christian...

  • he is speaking about martin luther king

  • I think there was a website I visited once that broke down this song into who he's talking about.  He starts off with Jesus, then goes into Gandhi and then goes into Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Kind of funny, but before I found out what it really meant, I thought the song was based on the fall of the Berlin Wall that had split East & West Germany for so many decades.

  • Thank You for clearing that up. I was just wondering about that and everything. Again thanks.

  • WHERE CITY IS? DUBLIN?

  • Dublin is in Ireland

  • pretty damn awesome

  • wow, he has insane hair, but the song is awsome

  • Insane doesn't have to be bad ;)

  • One of my favorites for sure.....

  • Awesome song. Haha. Bono's hair! And the Edge isn't wearing a beanie.

  • Comment removed

  • I love how the guitar sounds on this song.. and this song seems fun to play on drums

  • Early Morning; April 4....

    This line is about the death of Martin Luther King, but he was shot after 6 p.m. ... :D

    Mistake of the band :D, but great song anyway

  • the betrayed by a kiss refers to Jesus i belive. But other parts of the song do refer to Dr. Martin Luther King. and One Man came in the love i also think refers to Jesus and or maybe Dr.Martin Luther King.

  • Good listening! I LOVE THIS SONG

  • Dr. King was one of the few who really changed the world and this song captures a lot of the emotion of the events that lead up to the death of Dr, King. Always rips through my heart. Great message! Paul

  • Comment removed

  • Minha preferida do U2!

  • IN THE NAME OFFFF LOOVVVE!

  • it was written for martin luther king's death and dreams, wasn't it? i think the whole album's about this ...

    such a great band

  • Early morning, April 4th. Shot rings out in the Memphis sky. Free at last, they took your life. They could not take your pride!

    -BEST LINE!

  • dreamofphyrexia no one knows where osam is!!! so we couldnt kill him o and we also liberated iraq to from rape prosecution and dictatorship!!!

  • Yeah but too bad there are hundreds of countries in worse situations, so why Iraq? Could it be that they have oil and the others dont? If you are going to preach about the war in Iraq and how we "liberated" them, try to remember that there are genocides happening in Africa that we never even talk about.

  • i hate all the rap AND pop! but some pop from the 80s are good but i cant believe this song is based off of Marten Luther King JR1

  • Comment removed

  • xenocide8. your freakin right man. i cant stand all those freakin people who like rap. rock is way better. and it always will be better.

  • one man comes in the name of love...

    one man comes and go..

  • wtf! obama!! hells no. hes just a dumbass that likes attention saying we need change but he has no idea wat to change!! he even believes in communism and whats to start something like the hitler youth program!!! after 300 years of being the U S the place of freedom we elect a communist and people that think war is never nessasary are a bunch pussys!! war is sometimes called for this whole country was founded by a revolution!! and before u bring up iraq people forget we were attacked!! NOBAMA

  • yes we were attacked...but it wasn't by Saddam, Iraq had nothing to do with it, Osama attacked us, our fight was in Afghanistan so why the fuck are we in Iraq!! i love ppl that use the we were attack excuse, as if that justifies the war in Iraq, that's kinda like if Spain were to bombed the US, and then we turned around and attack Ireland because of it. that's basically what we did. Osama attacked us and killed thousands of innocent ppl, so why the fuck did we turn around and go after Saddam?!!

  • because once again where trying to play mediator of the entire world which is just impossible. i totally agree with u though osama is still out there possibly planning more shit. but hey at least we have this great song haha

  • this song is actually based on the King

  • 92% of teens like hip hop, rap or pop (cough cough)which sucks. if your the 8% that still like good musid like this or metal plz copy and paste

  • right on man them im that 8% i wish we could get it thru there head all them fuckin rappers are joke im 17 year old and back in 05 i saw Mötley Crüe now that bis good music but of cousre we all know Pink Floyd And U2 are the best

  • i agree rap sucks ass and i hate more than anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • rap in itself is not the problem in my opinion, but rather todays rappERS. rap had the potential to be a really unique and new style of music in the 80's but now its all about sex and way overplayed.

  • youbeenthunderstru, i'm not making the connection between president Obama an this song ?

  • molto carino ..questa canzone..^^

  • I'm sorry to be political, politics on youtube usually pisses me off but just listening to this now really makes me think of how apt this is for Obama. I'm not sure what your position on him is, whether or not you support him but this song certainly fits.

  • Agreed.

  • Free at last, they took your life, they could not take you pride

  • this song is simply beautiful!

  • Simplesmete a melhor bando de rock do mundo.

    Não existe outra igual ou semelhante.
