  • He made this for his wife...he had forgotten her birthday...wonderful song.

  • Glancing at the thumbnail to this video, I thought it was Elvis Costello...

  • the sweetest song!

  • only 500k views???? WTF!!!

  • I love this song so much<3

  • bono is great man.

    song is the best gift in the world <3

  • love this song <3

  • STAN LAUREL?

  • I love his voice

  • ali is gorgeous

  • After all those years I still wonders why he imitated Elvis Costello...I mean c'mon he's like his twin brother here lol

  • @JiS01 i came to this video wondering whether anybody had seen the resemblance, and your comment was the newest, and the ONLY comparison!!! props.

  • How come there is only 1 reaction!!!

  • Hey, I really love you. Look, I got U2!

  • Oh Snap! 1998?! I feel old now, I remember listening to this song before going to school

  • Where's Norman Hewson?

  • @samslick90 he's the chef in the end of the video

  • @gea1414 Thank you

  • If you like this song checkout The Runaway by Regret the Hour

  • Actually I believe he was apologizing for forgetting her birthday.

  • Yes, Bono's wife is at the beginning of the video, She is sitting in front of Bono during all the video and basically he is singing to her to tell her "Sorry" for many times he has not been good to her. A really nice way to say sorry and show her his love. I'd wish my ex BF would make such a video for me! and maybe then I'd forgive him:)

  • @fatibum a sorry or a video does not necessarily make up for anything, peaople seem to be caught in the break up make up roller coaster. it usually never ends well.

  • @fatibum It was mainly because he forgot her birthday.

  • @andyboreland PEACE.LOVE.EQUALITY.

  • If you didnt know the women in the beginning is his wife ali

  • me and my bestie James are the only people who see this! my dad looks like bono but not as good looking! honest to god people!

  • For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3.16)

  • @andyboreland Andy, Keep the Fire burning....God bless you, Keep up the message of Truth!

  • thats bonos wife at the beginning lol.

  • seeing U2 in 7 days is gonna be THE SWEETEST THING baby :D

  • @Pheroine13 I went to their show in Edmonton, Canada. It was soooo amazing.

  • how can you not forgive him when he makes such sweet faces? :)

  • gosto de u2 mas esse clipe e podre

  • i like the firemen o.o....

  • 13 people are the bitterest thing...

  • The sweetest thing in the world is listen to U2

  • im gonna sing this at my best friend wedding. i know my voice suck but who cares its his wedding.

  • 10 people aren't sweet

  • not one of U2's best songs.., Running To Stand Still and Beautiful Day and Where The Streets Have No Name are far superior, in my opinion.

  • fuckin nice song

  • probably the point when ego took over common sense. Just saying....

  • THIS is the best way to say "I'm sorry";)

  • Love it

    ModelsWebTV. com

  • ME AMARRO NESSA CANÇÃO! ADOROOOO! ôôôôôô

  • he's not as charismatic as he should be for this video

  • bono=twat

  • bobo=cunt

  • The Bono head-thingie- really creeped me out....

  • 9 people have ever had the sweetest thing in their entire lives.

  • U2 with Boyzone.......the sweetest thing

  • this is so nice of bono! and that elephant is so cute!

  • It's a beautiful song I think:)

  • at the end of the song he says "IM SORRY". the song is about him missing his wifes

    birthday. which he actually did.

  • This could be about losing his home country, thats why Boyzone are in it,

    Graffitti started to get put up in Norther Ireland in The 1980's saying U2 SOLD OUT - meaning they sold out their home country for capitalism, now they are the richest band in the world.

    Maybe its Catholic guilt, its just a nice song, its still a good song.

  • notice the colours of the mouthgaurd, green white and orange

    IRELAND AND U2 FOR THE WIN

  • @leprecon0 thnx very much for complimentin my country

  • ta la raja la kncion!!

  • I love bonooooooooo !

  • Did he really do this vid to tell his wife hes sry for forgetting her birthday?

    Like for real and she didnt know?

  • Actually, he wrote the SONG as an apology for forgetting her birthday, back in 1987 (they were in the middle of recording THE JOSHUA TREE and he got really into recording something at the studio, and it was too late to take her out that night so he wrote the song). They made the video years later, and decided to use the whole "this song was an apology" idea for the video too.

  • @MrRyanide- how can you hate bono? the guys won the nobel peace prize, hes helped kids in africa, hes helping out with AIDS? and sure ur entitled to ur opinion but dont come here and start saying you hate him cuz thats just gonna make alot of people hate you back.

  • Why would you hate someone you don't even know?!!

  • for my wiwi ... ;))

  • MrRyanide--> maybe thats because you are jealous of the great person Bono is... btw, U2: THE BEST BAND EVER!!! :D

  • Or maybe you're taking random guesses for why I hate him?

    He's not a "great person", that's just your opinion, fool.
