I scrolled through some comments, and a lot about Jesus. Yet, no one said a thing this is a song about Bono's mother. She died at her own father's funeral, this is a song about him grieving.
Bono is a raving right wing loopy hypocrit avoiding paying his tax`s does he think he can take it all with him when he dies. He talks about eradicating poverty, helping the poor etc what an evil IRISH ARSE HOLE. wayne roony and many buisness men many pop stars should hold there heads in shame, THAT INCLUDES THE CAST OF U2
@ Daniel - I agree; this song is so powerful; it definitely puts me on edge when I hear it; my mother passed away when I was a young chap, and that was one awful day when it took place. I hope very much to see my Mom again too. Well, thank you U2 for such a moving song.
This is the first album that Basque freedom fighters in the North of Spain and Southern France (Euzkadi) started listening to. It still symbolises for me the deep cultural ties between S-F and H-B. For many of us there will always be a black car parked by the side of the road like the angel of death hovering to take our beloved sons to a torture session, a jail or extra-judicial execution. There can be no peace without social justice, armour will not be turned in to ploughshears just yet.
@nixon68 Do you wanna know a funny thing? The album was released the year I was born. It's called october, the month I was born, and it's got 11 songs, the day I was born. It is also my favourite album!!!
If You like Irish rock like this, We are an american band with a singer born in County Tipperary Ireland and we want to share our music with You. Go to our channel here by clicking on the blue word to Your left and tell us what You think- Mike and Eric, Summer and Lightning
I hate watching this! They were so good!!! The band is a joke today. They peaked in1987 and everything after is ridiculous. Bono CAN NOT sing anymore. terrible voice. If they had any balls --- They would tour the TRIO -- Boy October War. They are spineless artists. They would never consider it. Paul and Dave (what is a Bono or Edge?) always tell us to donate our money. Why don't you donate some of your 100s of millions. Playing a concert is not a donation
Fantastic song, and October is so underrated the album is huge and i love the feeling and texture of it, even though it was apparently rush due to bono losing the lyrics to all the songs. One of those songs that can stir emotions in you.
It's funny that you guys don't comment about U2 but Christianity. Hello, guys, no use fighting. One day, the truth will be revealed. That day, we will all also be unfit to talk any nonsense anymore
listen my friends listening...u2 are perfect...this song make my happy...when im going to my work i hear that song and day is much bether...only u2 cant do this...we wait for you in coimbra portugal 2 and 3 october 2010 360 tour
I love this song October was my first U2 album and this song still stirs me. Great lyrics and builds up such great momentum in the song, i consider it one of there most underrated songs. Ive seen U2 live about 9 times and never heard it played live i think it would have made a good closer.

@killerdalek Jesus is a real historical person. There are other historical sources besides the Bible (the works of Josephus) that attest to that fact. If you don't believe His claims so be it - but don't say that He was not real. That's like saying other historical figures are not real just because you never saw them.
@superion72 My point was that Jesus is dead. He was not the son of God, nor was he God the son, or sun! He was, if he existed at all, just a man, and now he is dead. So that's the end of it. God does not exist other than in some delusional minds.
@superion72 Exactly! He was a PERSON and not a god! Therefore, the deity to which you refer does not exist, even if there was a bloke called Jesus. He was just a bloke - not god the son and not the son of god!
@killerdalek He was fully God and fully man. (John 1). The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus also said "when you have seen me, you have seen the Father".
@killerdalek just look at thefufillment of prophecies, for example the re-birth of Israel and the return of the Jewish people back to the promised land, you can trust the authority of the scriptures.

Although your video is well done it doesn't really fit the song in my opinion(The Macphisto clip threw it way off). Bono sings this song better than he ever sang any song probably because it is straight from his soul. Nothing better than that.
I am listening to October again, an album that dissapointed many including me when i first listened to it i guess we were all expecting Boy 2 back then. I think i only now actually get October and realise it is a masterpiece.
This song really renewed my faith when I was at a low point. I find it incredible that more amazing musicians can't write music of faith, whatever faith. Put down anger or sadness to music, but to the banner of faith, and we'd have so much more to enjoy. Most 'faith' bands are lame as hell. Faith in the human spirit is well entrenched in rock. Let's not be afraid to proclaim faith in and love for our maker and saviour, whatever religion. Just make it rock.
@mongo88now88 -please check out non lame faith bands like tree 63-----the benjamin gate-----gs megaphone----the newsboys----phil keaggy---bob dylan 1979 to 1981-----petra "beyond belief cd"
One of my faouvrite songs now. Thank you for the video. Great fusion of early U2 song and concerts, especially ZOO TV, which is one of the best shows. You did work like Bono sang this song really. Thanks again.
My father has passed some time ago, and, fate's irony (or not) I cam across this song from U2 and the story behind it. Whenever I listen to it gives me the most intense emotions, tearing me on the inside - regretting and the wishing that my father would come back tomorrow but also strength, courage and a desire to succeed, knowing that I still have his love and that someday I'll see him again. God bless U2 - a trully noble rock band...
@DanielGheorghiu sorry about youre dad mate ! but just keep listenin to u2 as i have been doin all my life theres no other band like them and never will be again songs like "one " all i want is you " "bad" and drowning man just bring tears to my eyes "going to paris in sept for my 13th u2 gig cant wait " good luck pal"

I just read on wiki that it's the contrary and not so short, Larrys died in november 78 and Bonos in September 74... But you're totally right about the poignant side, of course
@leebedy71 I really like October one of their best. Better than Actung and No line imo. Bono is a great passionate singer here. I didn't know this was about his mum
just so you know, bono's book of lyrics was stolen, and the group was forced to scramble and compose october in a mad dash... hardly the ideal situation
and also, saying october is better than achtung and no line is sheer lunacy - it was only their second album and saying it is better than their later and more mature works is moronic
you are clueless and have no idea what you are talking about
@shtstirrer Just shows mature don't make up for the innocence of young passionate talent. Same can be said of Elvis. Btw i do know about stolen lyrics i've been a student of u2 for the last 21 years. U can go back to sucking cock now
That doesn't matter. It's an opinion. What the majority of the fans and the critics think isn't important, unless you're a follower and not a free-thinker.
@shtstirrer It's one of the least known U2 LPs. It came out long before the band became a megaband (1981). Least known = least favourite (simple logic) I discovered them around 1984 when "In The Name of Love" hit the charts.
@Frostybeard, yet so many U2 fans prefer the pre-UF era U2, pre-1984 U2. There's a certain 'soul' character and music quality that the very early U2 has that hasn't been since. And yes, as it should be, that's evolution. But still.....
I don't think that's fair to say. Just because someone doesn't share your views doesn't mean they're moronic. It's his opinion, and it happens to mine as well. October is my favorite U2 album because it helped me through a really bad period in my life. It's very personal to me. Does that make me a moron?
Don't know why you got a thumbs down on this one. October is by far my fave. Very emotional and majestic album. They've never put out anything more personal than October.
@TidesWillTurn I agree, you know this was very much a spiritual album, as this song truly demonstrates. I personally believe they were closer to God at the time of this album.
@TidesWillTurn I agree, you know this was very much a spiritual album, as this song truly demonstrates. I personally believe they were closer to God at the time of this album.'probably why it's very much an overlooked album.
U2 in the 80s is best. The ironic thing is nobody really knew who they were at this time apart from the select fans. When they become mainstream it wasn't as good
@WafflesandWhales I still can't listen to this song, more than fifteen years after I heard it for the first time. It makes me cry my heart and eyeballs out.
Actually MIami is one of their more interesting songs. I'm sick and tired of hearing people saying "With Or Without You" " I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and "Beautiful Day" as their finest work.
couldn't agree more , those songs are all good , but i don't think any of those we're half as innovative as the songs on Achtung Baby or Pop or even No line on the Horizon. I think if anything Pop Shows that U2 was still a healthy band , trying new things , trying to innovate.
It's a great song... But there are others that are really innovative and totally awesome. WOWY is kinda "instant classic". Listen to Achtung/Zooropa/Pop/NLOTH, there you have some experiment.
And there is no such thing as a "best U2 song". Many are awesomely great, everybody has his favourites... But their is no BEST song.
When an artist writes and sings a song about the grief,
of losing his mother ,you can feel the pain and hurt in the song ,
such a beautiful yet sad song I feel !!

larrys mum died shortly before bonos, which is why its poignant.

I just read on wiki that it's the contrary and not so short, Larrys died in november 78 and Bonos in September 74... But you're totally right about the poignant side, of course

one of the best from the early days???? Sad song about bono's mother passing away at his grandfather funeral. October underestimated album?????

@leebedy71 I really like October one of their best. Better than Actung and No line imo. Bono is a great passionate singer here. I didn't know this was about his mum
jpjames1 1 year ago
@jpjames1
just so you know, bono's book of lyrics was stolen, and the group was forced to scramble and compose october in a mad dash... hardly the ideal situation
and also, saying october is better than achtung and no line is sheer lunacy - it was only their second album and saying it is better than their later and more mature works is moronic
you are clueless and have no idea what you are talking about

@shtstirrer Just shows mature don't make up for the innocence of young passionate talent. Same can be said of Elvis. Btw i do know about stolen lyrics i've been a student of u2 for the last 21 years. U can go back to sucking cock now

october was the least critically acclaimed of *all* of U2's albums.
and not only that - the fans happen to agree - october consistently is at the bottom of album favorites listings
get a clue pinhead.

That doesn't matter. It's an opinion. What the majority of the fans and the critics think isn't important, unless you're a follower and not a free-thinker.

@shtstirrer It's one of the least known U2 LPs. It came out long before the band became a megaband (1981). Least known = least favourite (simple logic) I discovered them around 1984 when "In The Name of Love" hit the charts.
Go troll somewhere else.

@Frostybeard, yet so many U2 fans prefer the pre-UF era U2, pre-1984 U2. There's a certain 'soul' character and music quality that the very early U2 has that hasn't been since. And yes, as it should be, that's evolution. But still.....

I don't think that's fair to say. Just because someone doesn't share your views doesn't mean they're moronic. It's his opinion, and it happens to mine as well. October is my favorite U2 album because it helped me through a really bad period in my life. It's very personal to me. Does that make me a moron?
Your comment was very immature.

Don't know why you got a thumbs down on this one. October is by far my fave. Very emotional and majestic album. They've never put out anything more personal than October.

This beautiful song was written by Bono about his mother after she died in the 40's.

In the 40's ? Am I understand this wrong ? Because Bono was born in 1960.

U2 in the 80s is best. The ironic thing is nobody really knew who they were at this time apart from the select fans. When they become mainstream it wasn't as good

Actually MIami is one of their more interesting songs. I'm sick and tired of hearing people saying "With Or Without You" " I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and "Beautiful Day" as their finest work.
extreme67 2 years ago
couldn't agree more , those songs are all good , but i don't think any of those we're half as innovative as the songs on Achtung Baby or Pop or even No line on the Horizon. I think if anything Pop Shows that U2 was still a healthy band , trying new things , trying to innovate.

Gabriela726 2 years ago
It's a great song... But there are others that are really innovative and totally awesome. WOWY is kinda "instant classic". Listen to Achtung/Zooropa/Pop/NLOTH, there you have some experiment.
And there is no such thing as a "best U2 song". Many are awesomely great, everybody has his favourites... But their is no BEST song.
