[thatniggachavz]

it's like webcam chat with Bono, awesome.

[dillpickle5390218]

I've never seen that part at the beggining w/ Ali

[SpiritGirlSF]

According to Right Celebrity he wrote it for her because: " Bono once forgot his wife’s birthday and he made it up to her by writing the hit song The Sweetest Thing. Not only did she get the song but she \also received the profits. Ali chose to not just go out and splurge on herself, but rather donated all proceeds to CCPI." Chernobyl Children’s Project International

[rbaff79]

The video, directed by Kevin Godley, features Bono taking his wife Ali on a carriage ride along Fitzwilliam Place, and on to Lower and Upper Fitzwilliam Street in Dublin, enlisting various performers along the way in an effort to apologize to her. Performers include Riverdance, Boyzone, Steve Collins, the Artane Boys Band, and the Chippendales. The Edge, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen Jr., Norman Hewson (Bono's brother), Dik Evans (The Edge's brother), and Ali herself appear in the video as well.

[foxington1610]

they sound very like that brilliant irish band "VIC." Especially their song "Chasing Nothing. haha-even a similar sounding name!!!

[pladsailboat331]

Bono wrote this song in 1996 because he forgot his wife's birthday, so he dedicated this song to her.

[Ptrrrrrrrr]

[USHOOPS]

The guitar parts from 2:16 onwards are a perfect example of a guitar player supporting a vocalist.... totally beautiful

[USHOOPS]

These guys are so talented. Such a cool tune. I love the background guitar parts.

[goobeemaryroxyay9999]

I just love that The Edge guitar in 1:58, that tone is his trademark. I hear this song and I miss Ireland - I've been there only once

[minigiganten]

[TheCocio]

Bono wrote this one to his wife, cause he forgot their anniversary...

[Esberard]

[Magnaline]

I reckon he killed the in laws :-)

[vortexina91]

Irish people,I like Ireland

[polyINXS6]

I adore this song....! just great

[jmacleve]

I think Bono actually looks like a younger, cleaned up Elvis Costello (especially with the hat)!  This video always makes me smile.

[Deathlock84]

He looks like a creepy Woody Allen in this video. Amazing how they timed the music video though, in one shoot.

[anitaac]

only bono forget his wife's birthday

[gohyperstrike]

really?

[vortexina91]

This song is very positive,I like it very much:)))

[SuperVejito]

Isn't it Boyzone in the back? The guy with the long blonde hair looks like Ronan Keating ...

[Marechot]

Yes

[paff1990]

OK I understand that Bono should say Sorry and that's so beautiful !!! But I'm wondering if his wife forget about his birthday whether she will Say Sorry to him at the same way ?

[FSchouten]

This clip is so sweet and stupid at the same time, I love it, gives me the giggles :D!

[WillamLite]

I ADORE this song!

[TayTay326]

this song was dedicated to Kate Walsh and her friend Nancy

[orkanen]

Well recording Joshua tree is more important than a birthday!

[orkanen]

Is it his real wife in the video?

[8410194047]

yeah ,he forgot his wife's birthday.

[hpfend]

i miss dublin now. i wish i had just one last summer there... haven't been gone for 3 weeks and i'm a little homesick, even tho i'm not even irish.

i guess 6 years are not that easy to just let go of.

nice video. around merrion square area i assume.

[marcorico123]

is my favorite....is so cute

[menasuvari998]

[greeniguanagirl]

[22Patrik22]

You love me  I love You

[dublinpromenade]

He's the best husband ever! All this for forgetting her birthday... so cool.

[UltramanFD]

U2 never fails to entertain their audience. The secret to their longevity: reinvention.

[siddarthsherpa]

this is sweet!!!!!!!!

[andmataren]

Is that his wifey in the beginning? Anyways, I love this song and video. This truly is the sweetest thing.

[MissWriter92]

Yeah... He screwed up and he made this vid for her saying he was sorry.... You ca see it in the banners... "Im... sorry", "Im really sorry", and "Im really, really sorry"...;)

[andmataren]

Yeah I know, he forgot her birthday. I was just wondering if the lady was an actress since I had no idea what his wifey looked like. But it makes sense it's her. She's pretty :)

[dublinpromenade]

Yeah her name is Ali. They started dating in high school. He fell in love with her because she looked like a 'Spanish Rose'- dark eyes and hair. Romantic, eh?

[konagalvo]

what does she bring to the table?

[22Patrik22]

Macinak szeretettel! pusz

[caesarnaywin]

what Bono did when he forgot their Anniversary. He sure showed all of us how to say sorry

[kingmanas]

i saw this video yesterday for firstime and it's awesome! Bono is great:-D

[carlitoxxwwe]

[kokat19]

[Bruni93]

i love that song and that vid! its so funny and probably my favourite u2 vid!

[malescence]

[Karkuas]

[Karkuas]

[disorderly4ever]

The woman appearing in the beginning is Alison Hewson (former Stewart), married to Bono since 1982

[jahlove111]

can't stop watching this!

its so sweet

[Karkuas]

is blue-eyed boys meets a brown-eyed girls

[alehunter11]

It's a little bit weird but it's absoloutely HILARIOUS

[SpidermanX1]

Blue-eyed boy needs a brown-eyed girl, I know excatly what it means! xD

[Anoray26]

I always love it when the boys of U2 get to show their humorous side :-) This video cracks me up, especially the gyrating firefighters. Bono's looking like a nerdy Peter Parker trying to appease Mary Jane after too many Spider-Man shenanigans :-) What a frustratingly adorable mug.

[comosealoquesea]

Love this video! I think this video is really really funny!!

[XGuesswho0X]

this is such a wiked song i love it to bits

[poddykate]
