The last of U2's great albums. They've been nothing but mediocre since this album. They are such a better band when they allow space in their songs rather than push all the levels up throughout.

once in a while you come across a song that seems to understand exactly what you are going through in life. it empathises better than any person can, and seeps deep into your soul. "and every one of them words rang true, and glowed like burning coal." very dylanesque. if you can't hear dylan's voice you could hear him in the lyrics. very poignant and memorable.
U2 och Bono har gått mig förbi, men denna låten är ju alldeles otrolig. Spelar den om och om igen, kommer aldrig att tröttna. Den har ALLT, känsla, dynamik, dramatik ja mina superlativ räcker inte till.
Nice song, but just doesn't pack the punch of most U2 songs, even tracks like "All I Want Is You" and "Desire" off Rattle and Hum. Sounds like a Joshua Tree b-side.
This is one of the most magnificent songs ever written, ever performed. This song is generally credited to U2 as the writer but Dylan co-wrote it. i don't think Dylan ever does it live, do you know? Anyway, thanks for tihs great post, I'm melted and reaching for the Replay button.
@bulbheadmyass No i don't believe bob does it in concert. It's him in the photo holding the spotlight. Quite a tribute. It is said they hooked up in L.A. during 1987 and co-wrote the lyrics to a song called 'prisoner of love' which later became 'love rescue me'.. dylan sang lead on the original recording but later asked U2 not to use it citing commitments to the traveling wilburys.
@heyday2mayday Do you know where I could find the original recording with Dylan singing the lead? This is a great song, and I've never heard it before now. But it would be still better if Dylan were singing it!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
well, if there was any Bob Dylan there, on this recording, he sure knows how to hide. Bono is so over-rated. . . how can he have collected so much money?? there is no There there. the true Mr. Jones of rock and roll.
Bob Dylan is on a stage before millions of people and never sings a note??? of a song he co-wrote??? with no shots of him being there??? You are dreaming.
@1michelemichele1 These lyrics seem more Dylan's than Bono's. Maybe teacher Dylan was showing Bono how is to write a real song, when it is said they "co-writed" the song. Any how, Bono and U2 performance is great, even though it is a pity that comercial abuses didn't allow the original one (mainly sung by Dylan) to be released
@tomthumbtoo This is one of the most magnificent songs ever written and the performance is legend. Dylan is the poet of the century and Bono is freakin' brilliant on this song.
@tomthumbtoo on the original recording, dylan sang lead vocals. he asked u2 not to release that version because of commitments to his band. hence why bono sings the released version.
@tomthumbtoo you know who's overrated??? Bob Dylan is overrated. And I like the guy, and I like most of his music, but he is one overrated musician, if there ever was one.
Thanks for posting this great version and the lyrics. And for mentioning Dylan, he rarely gets credit for this, one of the most magnificent songs ever written.
Bob Dylan's lyrics + Bono's voice = masterpiece

'the ruins to the right of me will soon have lost sight of me'. Fine redemption song this.
Dylan's voice is in fine fettle too, can't remember when I heard him actually singing a note like this in the last 20 years.

Your antipathy for Bono's obscured any effort to actually listen to the music or appreciate the lyrics. What a shame.
Dylan's there, guy, and he cowrote the song.
