U2 - Running to stand still 1992

[gothicofairy1324]

Bono is alcoholic they wouldnt even sell alcohol at the show in philly when he was trying to get sober.

[tominrochester]

@gothicofairy1324 If your "evidence" that he is an alcoholic is that they didn't sell alcohol at a venue he played at then I would suggest you bring us some better references. Maybe an interview with him or someone close to him, maybe a newspaper article or a magazine story (not a tabloid)... Anything other than hearsay. I think that's called libel.

it's not a synth... it's the shimmer...

[groovesonica]

Questa canzone mi emoziona ancora. Piangevo, piango, e piangerò. E' stata la mia formazione, il mio spirito. Grazie

This song moves me still. Crying, I cry and cry. It 'been my training, my spirit. Thanks

U2 wrote "Miami"

[safetymikearmstrong]

I was there...what a great night

[gmcfc]

hope they play this a croke park 27 of july cant wait for it u2 are great live

[panger211]

love the guitar on this one, a bit unique from the other versions

[sevedhjelm]

Also much more keyboard/synth on this one....

(Dont know if thats a bad thing,havent decided yet:)

[stratocaster7219]

Its actually not synth, its an effect on Edge's guitar that gives that organy,shimmery, sound.

[u2MacPhisto09]

They always sing this song with so much soul, i think it is one of their deepest song and I remember it was always what I remember most after each concert.

[rob7908]

get a life aristin4life , it may be a metaphor ? ya reckon ? sure its not arse4life?bono is gods true son !

[ariston4life]

bono is a gobshite, " i see seven towers but only one way out" there noting wrong with the ballymun towers.

[WhoDoYouWant]

nothing that some very controlled explosives didn't take care of. To the rest of the world who don't know what we're talking about.. the ballymun drug towers were destroyed, so yeah, you're right ariston...nothing wrong with them now

[Cnickfan56]

I think this is even better than the Sydney performance

[sevedhjelm]

Bono´s voice is much weaker here than Sydney..

[skaterbomber]

[ErnieDanzigYEAH]

I remember this show in Madison, Wisconsin. Outdoor venue, and I was relatively unimpressed with the first half of the show. Too rehearsed, lacking in that old U2 unpredictability.

Then they played this song, and the entire stadium just...elevated. Then, they tore apart the rest of the show.

It was like they could feel themselves going through the motions, and then looked at each other and said, "Fuck THIS. We're U2. Let's blow this out of the water."

And then they proceeded to.

[daviem1166]

Great Song,The Edge's Fav along with millions of other's, Always sung with the intent it was written with by Bono, As he seen what the Brown Lady does to friends, Thanks U2 Your music is a life time of memorys with every album telling a story, cant wait for the next episode, forever a Fanatic and always an admirer, Daviem1166 (achtungdavie)

[chefblanc]

thank fuk for u2 , there wouldnt be a world without them

[Ojodelobo]

I sing this song but when I hear U2 singing it I feel miserable.

Yes, it's so, sniff... sniff.

[bigfraz23]

i think Bonos lyrics are thanks to inspiration from /result of a belief in a higer power, hallelujah

[jennuk1]

LooooVe this song!!! awesome lyrics :D its poetry as u have said :D bono = genius

[fabiolapereyra]

awesome! this is a song!really, it's poetry!

[9sisters]

^^ Yes!

[JWGames]

Hallelujah indeed! I was at this concert. Thanks for the memory. :)

[LucindaLC]

So was I! 3 shows in 6 days, Hershey Park before this one, and both RFK dates.

[thorman944]

why are there 3 sources for 8/16 (first night, i think), but none from the 17? i was at the first night, where the lights & mist made the 360' rainbow during the encores.

[swedescott]

Bono recently bought the housing complex that is referenced by the "seven towers" lyric

[j012cl4n]

You can even see him tap his arm where the needle goes. Great song, of course, it is against drugs though

[ma0namaste]

squigels got it.

[cheng85]

this is an amazing vid with the chopper coming in and the sound continuing through the song. u2 plays so many different ways and each of them class in their on way. i cant get enough of them

[squigels]

correct The song is about a heroin addict from the Ballymun area of Dublin, shown in the song by the lyrics I see seven towers/But I only see one way out with lyrics such as She runs through the streets With her eyes painted red. thought it was obvious

[bionicbigfoot]

This song is absolutely,100% about smack. Great fucking song...how on earth does Edge make that noise?!? This is actually a follow-up to '85's "Bad". Lay off the junk, all you rock and rollers

[markyboy84]

Actually ermiina you're the idiot, the song is about heroin use- "I took the poison from the poison stream, then I floated out of here" "suffer the needle chill". Bono has said it is aswell. Do some research before you write something! p.s idiot

[ermiina]

U idiot using heroin?LOL they are anti all drug,they are religous band do some research before u write something ps Idiot

[Freaky112]

running to stand still.. is this song aboutdrug use for example heroin? ;< so saaad..

[filiparrodrigues]

Aleluia Bono!!!
