This song, and Are You Gonna Wait Forever should be live standard songs for U2. I prefer these over most of their other songs over the past decade plus.
@newpixeldude Nope and especially not as a radio single. Way too similar and considering Beautiful Day is still one of their most popular songs on the radio U2 would get absolutely slammed for "copying" their own material.
Molti hanno trovato una forte somiglianza musicale tra BEAUTIFUL DAY e la sua b-side ALWAYS, soprattutto nel ritornello. Probabilmente questo è dovuto al fatto che, in fase di registrazione, si trattava ... DELLA STESSA CANZONE! infatti, cosa c'era scritto sulla lavagna degli studi di Windmill Lane a Dublino durante le sessioni di registrazione di "All That You Can't Leave Behind": Beautiful Day (Always)
@Wanteddeadoralive54 Many have found a strong similarity between music and its BEAUTIFUL DAY ALWAYS b-side, especially in the chorus. This is probably due to the fact that, during recording, it was ... THE SAME SONG! In fact, what was written on the board of Windmill Lane studios in Dublin during the recording sessions for "All That You Can not Leave Behind": Beautiful Day (Always)
The drum beat at the chorus sounds wonderfully familiar (a la Beautiful Day). This song really grew on me since the first time I heard it. So uplifting it brings a tear to my eye now. In contrast, BD is a catchy song you fall in love with the very first time you hear it, which explains its massive,mainstream appeal, I think
Pretty incredible, this band. I worked at a record store in 1981 and a coworker handed me the "October" album. I became an instant fan- they have had such a powerful career....I swear when I saw them in concert- in 1984- it was a spritual experience...just like this song....ascending...
Its fun to compare "what we have we're gonna keep, what we've lost we don't need" from Always to "what you don't have you don't need it now, what you don't know you can feel somehow" from Beautiful Day.
Jesus this is an awesome song!..... can't believe it's only a b-side though!
I cant decide if i like Beautiful Day or Always better now, i think id be more inclined to say always if i hadnt heard BD live though! .......... I agree, please play some of your great b-sides live! especially this! :)
the verse of this song is the same chord progression as With or Without You, and the chorus is Beautiful Day. This is one of my favourite U2 songs and I really wish they would have popularized it more.
@michielterpelle This should have made it to to the album. That's why there are B-sides though. Look at Angels and Airwaves. The first album was like listening to the same song over and over with different beats and lyrics.. LOL
I like it too. I think the reason U2 left if off the album was because it sounds a lot like Beautiful Day, which they came up with from playing this song.
I will love U2 Always....

Edge actually sings the background "Always" bit during Beautiful Day live, funny enough.

@chocolatyeggs They use the same bass progression on "Babyface" and "Light My Way" too. Sounds terrific, always (no pun intended!)
