Thank you for posting this, one of their best songs. He just sings the hell out of this one doesn't he? The last part hits me hardest when Neil sings "It's the sunRIIIIIISE?" it just reduces me to bits.
In a perfect world Neil would be 100X bigger than shallow pretenders such as U2 and Springsteen. He speaks to the heart and soul on the deepest level.
Sunrise is one of my most favorite TDC songs... it has never failed me to feel goosebumps whenever i listen to it, and more so watch this rare video... thanks! =)
Such a nice song... must be one of his most personal one!

I flew from Winnipeg, Canada to see him on the Regeneration tour. Met him after the Leeds show, and told him how far I'd come...
His response: "I think you're mad!"
Whatta guy.

I remember seeing this performance. I think this is the most amazing song they did.
The sunrise, celebrating the end of a century and a half of violence. Let it never happen again in our lifetime.

Oh god yes. Never a truer word was spoken. Neil and Bono cannot even be compared

I agree with Dipthefal- it does embody a lot. Its the right message... who cares? Its all so silly, and this song typifies it brilliantly
