@muckymaher "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" is a song by U2 from the film, The Million Dollar Hotel, and featured on the film's soundtrack, The Million Dollar Hotel: Music from the Motion Picture. The song was recorded with Daniel Lanois on the pedal steel guitar for the film. However, a different mix than the one heard in the film appears on the soundtrack. The song credits author Salman Rushdie as its writer because the lyrics are taken from his book of the same name.
Achtung Baby through to this song they were at their best because they were really challenging themselves as artists. The last few albums don't seem to resonate with the same vibe for me. My fav albums are Pop and Boy...
This was U2 at their best. As a big fan, I see them tiring of the whole "biggest band in the world" shtick. With that said, I still got my tickets for their show at Spartan Stadium in MI....
i watched this live and it blew me away, the follwing week chris evans had to play it on the show again due to demand. they got stacks of mail literally ( emails were too fancy then)No youtube back then. I am so glad someone recorded it and put it up here for prosperity.
@HungryVerminlingua: please do some research, because you talk utter bollocks. U2 is paying a huge amount of taxes in Ireland. Only the U2-corporation is officially Dutch. Bono's standing up against poverty, gives lots of his own money to the poor and brings millions of people joy and happines through U2's music.
@HungryVermilingua Bono does a lot of things for the needy, highlighting issues, setting up companies to help with reducing poverty and disease, this man has done one million times more than most people on this earth for others, he is an example to us all, you should just go crawl back into your ignorant hole and stay there, you are not worthy of his company anyway
wow, I love this, what an incredibly, incredibly beautiful song. I love the sound of Bono's voice, there's so much honesty. Amazing performance with Bono & Edge.
@susanpresley01 I remember when I first stumbled across this performance. I was BLOWN away much like you. Bono is in top form and sounds incredible. First class all the way.:)
This recording still gives me chills. It takes true talent to sound so amazing in an impromptu performance. Bono's voice is almost haunting in this song. So beautiful.
@blueflagcfcyt . It's part of what makes him who he is. Bono helps a lot of people by being involved in making the world better. Would you prefer that he sip champagne while children in refugee camps starve to death ?
Hey friends, I'm writing a new album in northern Israel before heading through Europe testing the new tracks and heading to Australia to record the album.
I'll be uploading all the new songs as I write them on my YouTube page. The scenery here is awesome. I'd also love your feedback as to which songs are your favorites, it will help me decide which tracks to take into production.
Spine tingling. This is the performance for anyone who believes that U2 are nothing without a row of effects pedals. Two men, a guitar and a microphone making my hair stand on end.
Beautiful! The harmonies between Edge and Bono are terrific!
