sounds like the guitar riff from their 06 beach clip "I Believe". I personally hope they dig up the 'All My Life' beach clip and put it on their next album because that chorus is huge.
Powerful tune, everything built around Edge's awesome riff - way better than "Rise above". I don't think it will be on the new album. U2's Soundtrack Songs usually don't appear there. I think they've got loads of new material - the fantastic „Glastonbury" they didn’t even play on the festival.
Wow. This song obviously evolved a great deal lyrically between this concert and the release of "Music From Spider-man Turn Off The Dark". It's difficult to say which version is more powerful. Thank you for reaffirming that you are first and formost poets, Boys!
@ThatKrookedVulture just checked out this video - saw them both nights in Anaheim. you saw the better of the two - both were good, but something special happened that night.
@supercooldude2121 Bono and The Edge are trying to convince their other bandmates to make a cd of the songs from the musical. The actual cast cd comes out in late June.
can anyone tell me where i can download a good quality mp3 version of this song. there's a reallt good version floating around but there's a guy saying "1,2,3" throughout the track. it's a real shame it has this as it's near perfect quality.
Well - thanks for the reply - I did come off pretty bitter. Thanks for posting the song too - I was interested in hearing it. I'm a huge U2 fan - and would never not listen to something they put out ... lately though I've been less enthused ... Achtung Baby isn't something generally included in their "older stuff." I loved that album ... and have been waiting for another one ever since. They really inovated with that one and with Joshua Tree. I'm rooting for them ...
Does Bono even sing anymore - or does he just half ass his everything? He sounds board of his own Bullshit. I have every U2 album - and I'm sort of sick of how they've just rested on their success over the last 3 albums - No Line was a little better - - but face it ... there will never be another Achtung Baby or Joshua Tree - no matter how much you want it.
HTDAAB won 8 grammys and was no1 in 33 countries. ATYCLB won 7 grammys and is one of U2's most successful albums subsequently containing some stellar hits, namely "Beautiful Day"...2 HUGE records!
This "U2's new stuff is awful, their old stuff is much better" line is SO clichéd its unreal...
and for that Bono comment...wise up...
U2 are still the band to beat, and will be for the forseeable future!
This sounds great, pity that its not from their new set of songs for their new albums...would be cool if they returned to this style of song writing, it really seems to suit them. Reminiscent of Hold Me, Thrill Me, maybe they only write these songs for superhero soundtracks lol
Sounds like "Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me" and "Until the End of the World" mixed together in a very good way. "Achtung Baby" "Zooropa" and "Pop" are my favorite U2 albums, I hope they return to that sound sometime soon
@shaisameri Dirty Day is a gem from Zooropa, correct. Wrong in saying Boy Falls from the Sky shares nothing with Dirty Day. The tonal link to Zooropa's Dirty Day is obvious and conscious; Bono even namechecks 'The Wanderer'.
As for Boy Falls from the Sky itself - try out the rehearsal version from behind closed doors at Auckland. This song is a lot of things but 'good' doesn't hack it - most honest, passionate, selfish(Edge playing things his way) and driven U2 live song in perhaps a decade.
@WhoDoYouWant It's your opinion and I don't agree, except with the first sentence. You can find many similarities in several U2 songs. It is normal in a band with a long way back and with dozens of songs...
@shaisameri, it's normal that people can listen to two songs back to back and recognise a distinct similarity in the foundation riff (notes, tempo and number of repetitions). But yes, we'll just disagree. I suspect it's merely a case of cheering for one so assuming you need to boo the other. Shame, as one band created both. And, as someone who has been with U2 from the beginning, I find it so easy to say I love both. Enjoy your music.
@WhoDoYouWant FUCK YOU! You are just a punk ass mother fucker who thinks that is the only one who knows all U2 songs. I'm sick of seeing jerks like you arround here!
@shaisameri you're sick of having to deal with people who know more about your specialised subject than you do. You don't like taking lessons, you like giving them. Maybe YouTube should ban over-35s to give you more legroom? Meanwhile, the truth is you watch old 80s/90s videos of U2 and wish you were there, I rely on fond memories of being there...all the way. What a ride it's been ;)
@shaisameri That's "Fuck OFF". "Fuck OFF" is the "Goodbye and have a nice day" line. "Fuck YOU" is the adolescent cry of anguish when you know you've been cooked. Don't bother replying, I'll preempt the "FUCK OFF". So Goodbye... and have yourself a nice day.
@WhoDoYouWant and don't forget to put your finger on your ass as you always do every night... "I'll preempt the "FUCK OFF" ahahaha and I am the adolescent?! FUCKING ASSHOLE!
I can't believe I'm not the only one who thinks this song sound similar to HMTMKMKM. I think this version should be used on the upcoming Spider-Man movie remake coming out in 2012.
wow i can't believe other people saw some similarity between this and HMTMKMKM also. when i first heard this song i immediately felt the similarity between the riffs. it's not the same but the feeling is the same, if that makes sense lol.
hmm after many listens i am liking this song more and more. Still wish the main melody in the solo didn't sound so much like Hold Me. I keep picturing batman instead of kirsten dunst lmao.
WOW HalloweenTown!... an opinionated angry Young girl in a bedroom with lots of like ...stuff and such to complain about and things like to get off her chest...like I don't know, go fuck yourselves and suck balls kinda stuff... and like with a video cam an' all????

God... His singing makes me want to punch him in the face... I'd rather have Carney singing it than him... You know, when he's taking time out of clapping his hands and killing children in Africa...
yes I knew IT! it not only me thinking about the batman theme...really they are so familiar,the Batman Hold me thril me is realy very the same...my guitar teeacher just like he heard it played it and almost on the same tabs like the batman,but still I like this song more then HMTMKMKM this song is way more cooler but I have a diferent taste
Bono getting back the fury and majesty. Wonderful biting, snarling song - and the Edge becoming recognisable again with beautiful licks and sonorous, sustained energy. A song not for those who loved the noughties but for those who still pray, possibly against hope now, for a return to the kaleidoscopic imagery and soundscapes of the nineties.
Off with the middle-aged angst.... On With The Horns ;)
@WhoDoYouWant Glad I im not the only one then.... I hate the last mess of an album love this and got back into them again at glastonbury when doing acthung baby (they must know as they only played two songs from the new album and lost the audience both times) which suits his voice better lower key. Heres to hoping for the next album.
Bono definitely sounds better singing this song than Reeve, at least based on the GMA performance of Boys Falls From The Sky. Reeve has an amazing voice, but his GMA performance wasn't as clear and powerful as Bono's version.
I have this song as mp3 somebody recorded at Bono's house in Eze in 2006. In total 4 songs. Another song is Window in the Skies, so I wonder if this song is also one of the songs they first recorded with Rick Rubin. Does anybody know?
This is the best heavy song i heard from the 4 guys in years.
Every is beautiful,glastonburry hard,northstar delicious and mercy brilliant,but this is why i love u2,a heavy sound,larry´s pomping beat and a marvellous edge......boys play rock and roll!

Wow Bono sings this way better than the kid in the play. I'm not just saying that, the kid just mumbled everything. I can understand the words better on this audience bootleg than by a GMA broadcast of the other kid!
@killer8rabbit well fuck off and go and listen to youre lady gaga nursery ryhmes then if you think u2 are crap then youv,e got a pretty poor taste in music ! let me guess what your,e record collection contains ! steps, take that maybe , pink , or what about westlife bet youre into them ?
People. If you actually knew about music, you would know that Dirty Day and Hmtmkmkm and this song are completely different. Different melody and chorus in all of them.
@hguh2 I'm from Ireland and I think they're brilliant; I think this song is great, too. I don't see where nationality comes into stating an opinion, though.
It's good to hear this song in full after only hearing it as a beach clip for years! It certainly doesn't disappoint. I'm reminded a bit of HMTMKMKM and Dirty Day as well, but not overly so; in fact, I think those nods are a good thing.
This song may have a small part of the main riff that may be somewhat "similar" to Dirty Day because they are power cords but they are not the same...nor are they just like HMTMKMKM. Go and listen to them in comparison...they are NOT the same. This song is distinctly different from either of the previous ones. Not sure why people continue to try to make that point because its just not true.
@powersurge333 you mistake someone making a connection with someone insulting. There is no insult in the very REAL similarity between this and Dirty Day. Few have said the cords are 'the same' - as we all have ears - but the 'similarity' is certainly more than 'somewhat'. I like the idea of giving a reverential nod to a Zooropa song - and the band know very well that fans nearly as old as themselves WILL make the connection.
1) Achtung baby isn't even their besst (See: Joshua Tree)
2) It is DEFINITELY not the greatest album of all time (none of U2s stuff is)
3) It's is statistically and entirely improbable that EVERY U2 album is amazing.
Once he started wearing the sunglasses and cut his hair, their music went WAY down hill. It might sound nice, but the lyrics are not nearly as relevant, vital, or moving.
@Bulldog22031 whatever you say,fucknut..who the fuck are you again?
Achtung Baby is considered one of the greatest albums of all time and is a million miles better than The Joshua Tree...NLOTH (2009) is their best album since AB ...you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about
Does have a Dirty Day (my favorite U2 song) feel to it, this is a really well played rock song that could catch on much like Mercy and North Star have this leg of the tour.
This sounds like cheesy pop, they need to write stronger material like Until The End Of The World. A Spider-Man musical? What's next? A U2 covers album?
I know that's song from Spiderman Musical, but it could be a second song of Songs of Ascent - 1. Glastonbury 2.Boy Falls From The Sky 3.North Star 4. Mercy 5.Every Breaking Wave 6. Smile 7. Stingray Guitar 8. (Some middle-fast song) 9.(Ballad).
10. (Short ending song - somethin' like "Cedars of Lebanon). That would be awesome IMO album.

This wouldn't be a good song for me to listen to going to sleep at tnight. It would make me wanna spin a web to catch all the lonely hearts--;tis rather full of emotion. Makes me want to see Spidey Turn on the Lights!
@u2feeder Actually the riff in this reminds me a lot more of the riff in the chorus of "Dirty Day" than it does HMTMKMKM... I'm almost half-expecting Bono to bust out singing, "These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill..." as they're playing. :-)
here's hoping it'll be an exclusive track for the amazing spiderman movie

Wow Bono sings this way better than the kid in the play. I'm not just saying that, the kid just mumbled everything. I can understand the words better on this audience bootleg than by a GMA broadcast of the other kid!
Really cool song

People. If you actually knew about music, you would know that Dirty Day and Hmtmkmkm and this song are completely different. Different melody and chorus in all of them.

@hguh2 I'm from Ireland and I think they're brilliant; I think this song is great, too. I don't see where nationality comes into stating an opinion, though.
It's good to hear this song in full after only hearing it as a beach clip for years! It certainly doesn't disappoint. I'm reminded a bit of HMTMKMKM and Dirty Day as well, but not overly so; in fact, I think those nods are a good thing.

This song may have a small part of the main riff that may be somewhat "similar" to Dirty Day because they are power cords but they are not the same...nor are they just like HMTMKMKM. Go and listen to them in comparison...they are NOT the same. This song is distinctly different from either of the previous ones. Not sure why people continue to try to make that point because its just not true.
powersurge333 1 year ago
@powersurge333 you mistake someone making a connection with someone insulting. There is no insult in the very REAL similarity between this and Dirty Day. Few have said the cords are 'the same' - as we all have ears - but the 'similarity' is certainly more than 'somewhat'. I like the idea of giving a reverential nod to a Zooropa song - and the band know very well that fans nearly as old as themselves WILL make the connection.

what about achtung baby. greatest album of all time. Every U2 album is amazing.
BonoWeCanBeOne 1 year ago
@BonoWeCanBeOne
1) Achtung baby isn't even their besst (See: Joshua Tree)
2) It is DEFINITELY not the greatest album of all time (none of U2s stuff is)
3) It's is statistically and entirely improbable that EVERY U2 album is amazing.
Once he started wearing the sunglasses and cut his hair, their music went WAY down hill. It might sound nice, but the lyrics are not nearly as relevant, vital, or moving.
Bulldog22031 1 year ago
@Bulldog22031 whatever you say,fucknut..who the fuck are you again?
Achtung Baby is considered one of the greatest albums of all time and is a million miles better than The Joshua Tree...NLOTH (2009) is their best album since AB ...you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about

Does have a Dirty Day (my favorite U2 song) feel to it, this is a really well played rock song that could catch on much like Mercy and North Star have this leg of the tour.

I know that's song from Spiderman Musical, but it could be a second song of Songs of Ascent - 1. Glastonbury 2.Boy Falls From The Sky 3.North Star 4. Mercy 5.Every Breaking Wave 6. Smile 7. Stingray Guitar 8. (Some middle-fast song) 9.(Ballad).
10. (Short ending song - somethin' like "Cedars of Lebanon). That would be awesome IMO album.

@u2feeder Actually the riff in this reminds me a lot more of the riff in the chorus of "Dirty Day" than it does HMTMKMKM... I'm almost half-expecting Bono to bust out singing, "These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill..." as they're playing. :-)
