  • I LOVE LEMON

  • Yo escuche que bono cuando fue a mexico

    escucho en la previa al show el disco DYNAMO de soda

    Y despues se lo llevo .. como para no llevarselo

    es un discasoo

  • Bono pidió permiso a Gustavo Cerati , para utilizar la misma secuencia programada que tiene en Claroscuro, simplemente eso. De hecho escuche por ahí que Dynamo es uno de los 10 discos favoritos del líder de U2.

  • lemons are us.....

  • Emi's theme.

  • Into the mainstream of the universal thought process..

  • Eno owns this song.

  • I typed in vodka and it got me here

  • @nejake8 lemon goes well with vodka.

  • this is lemonskunk:)

  • ya sea soda o U2 cantando las mismas canciones son los dioses los que se pronuncian

    uno de argentina y el otro de irlanda

  • Love this quirky song and used to listen to is over and over again riding around Munich of all places. I am smiling pivoted back in time, floating with the music and just loving this band.

  • LIFE SEEMS TO BE ZOOROPA OR MAYBE FRUITOPIA,

  • These are the days

    When our work has come assunder

    These are the days

    when we look for something other

  • Anyone tried eating a lemon while listening to this?

  • Es igual a claroscuro de Soda stereo...

  • @sebamackwiese claro que no

    tiene un efecto parecido...

    armónicamente

    ritmicamente

    melodicamente

    son muy distintas

  • [inserts Portal 2 joke]

  • claroscuro, made by soda estereo sounds the same, and was made 1 year earlier

  • bono. :)

  • No one's probably gonna read this, but I’ll say it anyway cuz I feel at least 1 person will. I'm a young designer and graffiti artist, I know there's a million out there but I feel like my art has a unique individual style.

    If you just take a min and give me a chance I'll make you a believer. I would love nothing more than to have a loyal following on youtube. If anyone who reads this could press the "THUMBS UP" others will see it. Just a simple button push will make a huge difference.

  • I had this song in my head for days :D It's my 2nd favorite U2 album :) - the 1st being Achtung baby :)

  • THIS SONG IS FOR BONO'S MOTHER

  • That great band, truly spectacular! Thanks for the art Soda Stereo!

    Oh, and U2 is not bad.

  • Very sexy song.

  • love this song xxxx

  • i typed in lemon and it got me here >_<

  • @natshenkin You should be happy that this awesomeness has been bestowed upon you :)

  • I remember when I bought Zooropa (1993) I hated it but I gradually warmed to it over the years. It's a far better album than Pop (1997) because it's much more coherent musically and lyrically!

  • edge's voice is gorgeous here :O

  • Fuck "Claroscuro" love u2...

  • In my heed...from sleeping, waking...to now

    I do pop!!!

  • Fuck U2 Aguante Soda stereo

  • great song enjoyed it.....

  • DUHHH WHAT DUH MADDURRFACKIN HEYUL IZ DIZ ABOUT REMONZ?

  • I DON'T WANT YOUR DANG LEMONS

  • Does anyone know what sort of Delay The Edge uses here?

  • @breachmania I think he's using a tremolo.. with maybe some delay or reverb... with an octaver or something to change the pitch. The brand or type is beyond me though. I'm sure you can research it though.

  • @chickenshyt490 Thanks man I'll give it a try and see if it sounds similar.

  • @breachmania If you mean the choppy sound in the beginning, it's an guitar effect called tremolo (not to be confused with a "tremolo bar," different thing) - it's also found at the first few seconds of Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"

  • badass song . . .

  • I used to think this was an awful U2 song. I listened to it high. It's now in my top 10 for sure.

  • i feel like a sqeeze lemon,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • meth was clearly used lol

  • At first I thought this version was crap, but then I realized my headphones were half unplugged. much better. love this song.

  • A COMBUSTIBLE LEMON THAT BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN!

  • sung with fine young caniballs!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Love this bassline!

  • These are the days when our work has come asunder

  • 4 dislikes for Lemon? You must be bananas. It's freakin' U2!

  • @Mannchild11 apples and oranges :-)

  • U2's apogee.

  • Adore this. i'm slowly slowly slipping under ...

  • @Fab4Mitchum : me too! :-))))))

  • worst song ever

  • @kenndogg51 fuck you

  • es igual al intro soda stereo- claro oscuro

  • Am I the only person who likes when guys sing in their head voice (or falcetto)??

  • @Niesha18C When Prince sings in his falsetto, everyone calls him gay! Such hypocrites!

  • @kalimaganeshshivan theyre just jealous because they cant do it! :)

  • @Niesha18C Exactly!

  • @kalimaganeshshivan :) and i think they suffer from extreem boredom!

  • Comment removed

  • @kickassaurelius Where do you think the gay fop look with ruffled shirts, tight pants and high heel boots that Prince made so famous during the 80's & 90's come from? ENGLAND! Bono's "Mr. Macphisto" look with the gold suit, high heeled platform boots, falsetto voice and ballerina prancing on the stage is pretty gay so don't be a fucking hypocrite!

  • @kalimaganeshshivan Fuck the fuck up you fuckin fuck.

  • @xquickstrykex That's a whole lot of fuckin'! LOL

  • @Niesha18C check the band Bon Iver. You just might totally love it.

  • @Niesha18C Especially Bono:)

  • @Niesha18C Yes :P

  • im sitting here on my computer.. browsing as usual. I then notice that I had a craving, but didnt know what it was. Then I noticed I was suffering from withdraw, but i still couldnt figure out why. Then I saw a picture of a smiling lemon thats when it hit me! "oh shit!! Lemon..I need to listen to Lemon!". Ahhh my musical crack!! Now I can relax my 19yr old body!. CHILLED!!

  • What a bass !

    Grande Adam Clayton

  • only way he could sing this song live without creeping people out is to make Mr. Macphiesto Sing it!!.. I didnt know he was..."weird" til last week, when i first saw the zoo tv tour... great stuff!!

  • SODA STEREO , Claroscuro-1992

  • She wore

  • He is a genius , in a long line of genius's, from Joyce to Oscar Wilde!

  • Water always finds it's own level! Bono was always going to be a superstar, just like Bowie and Lennon!LOL

  • le-moooon

  • She wore lemon...

  • What happened to all the coo;girls we had ,,we could even smoke a joint in the car ,.fun times

  • lemony fresh even after almost 20 years

  • @ginosupernova

    That's true! The similarity is obvious! Thanks for the suggestion! :-)

  • @totalcinemania your welcome! greetings

  • I would like to listen someday Bono explaining the true meanings of this song... ;-) I love it.

  • comedy

  • i so love this song..........

  • Reminds me of when I lived in Hawaii....what a different time that was.

  • I LOVEEEE THIS SONG!!! 

  • I hate and love this song.... it's weird

  • Although Joshua Tree is my personal favorite U2 album, this song is one of the rare gems you come across that transcends musical time periods and genres. What a beautiful, unique creation is 'Lemon'! The diverse combination of musical elements that comprise this track come together magically to inspire - consider its disco beat influence (with its syncopated rhythm), Bono's powerful falsettos, and his introspective lyrics about preserving his memory of a loved one though film - haunting!!

  • Listen to the song "Claroscuro" by Soda Stereo, an argentinian band, Bono listen this band when he was in Argentina, it has a similar intro

  • @ginosupernova soda lo mejor de la tierra...

  • @mixModular bien dicho 

  • soda stereo, lo mejor de la tierra...

  • @ginosupernova no doubts SODA STEREO is the biggest spanish rock band.... a good prove is this video....

  • @hynucleear very right!

  • @ginosupernova Exactly, I tell you more, U2 was inspired by song Claroscuro (1992) of Argentinian band Soda Stereo for composing his song Lemmon. U2 one of the greatest rock band in english ( there are so many great bands in english that list would not have end....) Soda Stereo the best rock band in spanish of all times. Cheers from Buenos Aires - Argentina

  • @Myusertube2009 Vos lo has dicho, no hace falta que me hables en ingles jaja, saludos desde Córdoba

  • Comment removed

  • @ginosupernova Wow I just listen to it then for the first time, very similar intro. Both awesome songs. Thanks for introducing me:)

  • @breachmania Thanks! I'm glad you like it

  • No words...Only Awe!

  • Un Classico!!!A classic song!

  • I doubt Bono can sing this now...

  • @spooked1oo He may not have that kind of range now. I've heard U2 live and Bono didn't hit the high notes on some of the songs as well as he used to.

  • this song, I love it. but kind of creeps me out.

  • Best song on Zooropa, one of the few ventures into the techno/electronica world that actually worked.

  • saudade de 1994!!!!

  • soda stereo - claroscuro.Plagio?

  • @asinnus si es plagio es de U2, el tema Clasoscuro de Soda es escrito 2 años antes q Lemon...

  • @TheRockandRollenene A eso me refería. Pero tenés razón mi comentario no se entiende bien. Dicen que en México Bono escuchó Dinamo, y a los dos años en Zooropa apareció Lemon.

  • is this the original, or a remix?

  • the album version.

  • @winggoddess

    oryginal

  • the piano is the best part.

  • @winggoddess yep sounds like ENO

  • Bono's performance of the song on the Zoo TV tour (specifically the performance in Sydney, Australia on DVD) as Macphisto is the best version of this song.

  • beautiful song.

  • This song is a tribute a Roxy Music,it shines brian eno´ s production and  his backing vocals

  • im gonna get the lemon picture as a tattoo :) is that a good idea ?

  • greasy greasy greasy bassline

  • Takes me back to growing up in the warmth of the African sun, with dirt in between my toes listening to this amazing album. Now just the music and memories to smile about. Zooropa and Achtung Baby by far the best two albums, although Joshua Tree is a classic. Their new music is good too, but just something about that era. I feel privilliged to have been a child of the 80's.

  • the edge is the man

  • I enjoy hearing Brian Eno on backing vocals.

  • That piano line is so simple and yet, it does so much to the song. I love Lemon!

  • a lot of positive comments but what does the song mean? been listening to this song since i been a youngster but never really understood the song. this was never my dig as a kid. so tell me and ride me of ignorance.

  • @gorrillacolt From Wikip.

    "Lead vocalist Bono wrote the lyrics with his late mother in mind. He explains that it was a "strange experience to receive, in the post, from a very distant relative, early Super 8 footage of my mother, aged 24, younger than me, playing a game of rounders in slow motion." The footage showed Bono's mother at a wedding as the maid of honour, wearing a lemon-coloured dress. The film footage inspired Bono to write lyrics about using film to recreate and preserve memory."

  • @Avaruusbanaani hey thanks a lot for that. makes the song even better!

  • @gorrillacolt It's about Bono's mom passing away

  • One person doesn't like lemons.

  • Only one person does not know how sour a lemon is

  • I love this songggggg!!!!!!

  • Only U2 album I enjoy, thanks uploader.

  • Only U2 album I actually enjoy, thanks uploader.

  • Zooropa = Masterpiece

  • Came back to this album sfter i heard U2 perform this song live. Didn't liked POP, now its on my Ipod.

  • cokes one hell of a drug

  • Yeah, this album is their best IMO. Completely underrated.

  • hey now Eno hey now!!

  • u2 rock

  • Comment removed

  • Classic

  • Sway, rock, twirl it takes you to another dimension. It's rhythm is almost ceremonial.

    One of their best!!

  • what a big change from 1983 to 1993. thats what you have to do to keep things moving forward . thanks to larry, he was going to leave the band before achtung baby he was really burned out.

  • I find the chorus or whatever it is starting at 1:33 haunting

  • Comment removed

  • Lemon and Numb are my fave U2 songs......experimental and with Brian Eno.

  • talking headsish

  • Lemon flavoured sunlight cream.

  • Love this song!!!!!

  • This is really beautiful ... I absolutely love this era for U2 ... they sounded really great .. I can't get enough of this sound ... it just sends me flying onto the sky xD

    Reminds me of many beautiful memories when I was a child ... Thanks so much for uploading such a beautiful song :)

    The 90s were a great era for music everywhere lol

  • @91FroSt91 prefect comment. I feel EXACTLY the same way

  • I remember U2 talking about how they had a Spinal Tap moment when they got stuck in their flying lemon that took them to the stage during one of their shows, just goes to show its only rock and roll. These go to 11!

  • a little too much falsetto imo. otherwise really cool track. dreamy

  • This song reminds me of the Stones circa 1980--Emotional Rescue, the falsetto vocals, the dance track music, etc.

  • @amarranazo - I was thinking the same thing, good call.

  • some of the best lyric ive heard.

  • @FUNKADELIChicken Hey Funky Cousin!

  • @FriedChickenofDeath6 Hey, fried cousin lol :D

  • I use to get off my nut and turn this right up thumping.

  • My dad used to sing me to sleep with this when I was a baby

  • @Sollythesilent what a lucky baby you were solly :)

  • The second best U2 song! :) Love it^^

    Love and Peace

    -Nanna<3.

  • And I feel... like i'm slowly slipping... into the 90's again. She wore Lemon, but all I wanted was the 90's back :( 5/5

  • Omg.... The good memories this song dredges up! East Carolina University.... 1993 & 1994. Stoned. Drunk. Laid. Not in debt. Not married. Naive. Completely care-free.

    I could die to this album and be completely content. Those were such good times!

  • @stinkbug2012 I could die to all the above .Care free

  • @stinkbug2012

    I'm hearing you. Fucken A...

  • una de las canciones mas pinches raras que he escuchado pero la neta es una de las que mas me gustan de u2.. ahm despues de in the name of the love
