U2 - The Hands that built America

[hypnosphere]

I am italian, not good English but I ever had the suspect that the referreal to "the cloud on NY skyline" was about Sept. 11. Poetry in Music!

[Moviedude041195]

I didn't know the opening credits of Taxi Driver had anything to do with building America

[kariolis100]

all the people round the world love america ... in iraq , serbia , africa , vietnam , greece 1967-1974 and other countries ... please god dont bless america ...

[Sanja326782]

so beautiful

[Retrovibes]

God bless America? Why the fuck would it bless America any more than other countries? What kind of bullshit is that? I guess the other nations are populated by insects, who don't deserve any blessing. That religious shit is getting old.

[irisx97]

@Retrovibes Seriously get a life, you should bless America cause its the best country in the world thats why.

[WhiVe87]

@irisx97 you think god thinks that? "oh america is the best country, i'd better bless it" don't be an idiot

[bansheewhiskey]

[zakilaouira]

the greatest band of all time

[MakisFentagin]

Travis Bickle did build America (and the rest of the world)

[MrRaulextrem]

A quien no le guste esta canción esta un poco cazurro con perdon

[MaidofKent1965]

"Last saw your face in a watercolour sky"; such an evocative line, such an emotional voice, such a fantastic song. Wonderful.

[MaidofKent1965]

Galveston, Wichita, Tulsa, Phoenix, Chicago, New York, West Virginia ... the list goes on. What other nation is so overtly proud of itself that it puts it into song on this scale? Good on you, America, in an age where too many of us seem to be ashamed or apologetic for our heritage.

[hatehorde]

@MaidofKent1965 Hark Hark :) I agree. I have been all over the world and I too wonder why so many Americans are ashamed of who they are and what their country stands for.( I too am American) Many people dream of being here, and we take it for granted. Be proud of your heritage, but also be cautious as you must realize that close to 99% of those here are of immigrant descent. So don't judge just be grateful and thank our good Lord for the gift he gave us in the lottery of life.

[MaidofKent1965]

@hatehorde I'm not American, nor do I live in America; I just admire the pride that Americans seem to have in their country. The UK seems to be afraid of remembering who we are and what we stand for.

[Noemaw]

This is seriosly one of the best songs ever!!! I just can't stop listen to it.

[broghywert]

u2 rock's :D

[ihadacatonce3]

probably the only U2 song i like. i heard they performed live from a space station orbiting bano's ego

[tyeb29]

ya,eminem beat this...

[broghywert]

@tyeb29 and your a noob eminem is a rep singer and bono its rock and pop singer and the voice of bono its 300 times better than eminems

[arsenalylknw12010]

thats scene a the end of GONY, was emphatic, i was almost in tears, this is history we should not forget, i went and got the real book, GONY, and read into all the gangs, and history of them, and from there, used old documents of real court cases for some of the gangs, ad to be honest, they were amazing, talk about men who did not know fear, and women too. amazing stories, almost forgotton.

[buckeyefan20012001]

@arsenalylknw12010 ....it's a part of our history that needs to be taught but isn't...that movie is one of my Top 10 favorites.

[jeppahorse]

How old is it? :)

[sid77ie]

Great city,

Great band,

Brilliant video!

Thanks...

[bigdbc]

3:10 or so my eyes pop back into the inside of my head. Almost what you'd see when a person is possessed. I get chills up and down my spine for every second of this song. Wow, U2 is legendary, what a friggin' song, what a friggin' band.

[budjob]

hey jacqui, mmmmmm anal

[13BillGates13]

reminds me a little of age of empires...

in my opinion it feels like the beat of one of age of empires songs...

[TUCKER063]

[szagrir]

[goodvel]

U2 songs are evergreen and emotional....

[Hasjfield]

One of the most beautiful songs ever to be made

[buddah1994]

you must be a boring person to find something pure and perfect like this....

[zeikerventje]

I guess those are the moments I like boring people :)

Great song, I love it!

[marty129]

MARTIN SCORSESE is a genius!!!!!

[kevindjbardoe]

Good vid man and great song

[pancardes]

A imagem das torres do World Trade Center emociona. New York is beautiful and your people, is a nice city. Injustificável a atitude da organização terrorista.

[buddahwuddah]

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhha aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh...aa­ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............a­hhhhhhhhhhhhha .....ahhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa­hhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaa........merica!!

[klavo]

simply AMAZING, nice work! Much better video than the official release (to me).

[rattleU2]

Fucking great video! Thank so much!

[buddahwuddah]

u2 i luv u

[wawwwaaa]

best u2 song

[lianatoth]

great song! best song from u2

[nathlivoazsx]

i love this song but to be honest i don't get why u clipped together these videos, the songs about the people who built america not the one's who tried to destroy it, i remember at the end of the gangs of new york we see the city going through the ages and it ends with the twin towers still there(even though the film was made after sep 11) and scorsese said that the film was about the people who built the city not destroyed it, anyway all good films u got the videos from though

[MrBlue006]

Well, that line after the Tenor sings is specifically about sept 11th, so i couldn't really put anything else. check out my other two versions, they're much better i think

[jacobwilliamson1]

nath.. is referring to the taxi driver clips more than anything i think

[Daniblitz86]

;)...the "TENOR" ...

is the MAESTRO, LUCIANO PAVAROTTI.......a.k.a the most exciting singer I've ever collaborated with (Bono)

[dtpc191991]

@MrBlue006

You the Tenor is actually Bono himself.

[DMMechl]

It shows how far we've come as a world, as a society, and as a nation; and if we've got this far in the world as people we're going to rise above and go further. "The hands that built America" (WE) arn't going to let someone destroy it. This shows the strength this nation has, to overcome the difficult times and the bond we have as a national family.

[imahelpfulperson]

@nathlivoazsx If u really look at American Histroy from d point of d 13 colonies to d present day, u will c that America was built on destruction. Wars and many deaths is wut America is built upon. And in spite of wut has happened n America, Amreica has stood strong. So these clips are actually very fitting!!!

[analshag]

@imahelpfulperson and america is disappointed with your spelling...

[imahelpfulperson]

@analshag Go die in a fucking well. You knew what I meant. That's what matters!

[Dop122]

@nathlivoazsx Because the same people who built America are the same ones who are destroying it.

[sunshine0908921]

i like this song

[buddahwuddah]

i like you sunshine

[MDodds123]

It is a good song, ive always luved U2 since I was like 5. They mean more than any other band to me cos what they did with the N.I situation and spoke out when other people would be terrified to do the same, and they did make a difference. U got my respect guys

[04Ctr]

amazing song u just gotta love U2
