Liked the video except the picture of the girl at the end kind of ruined it for me. Not that it's a bad picture but to my mind the song is about time transcending the hubris of people, so I would have preferred a video with no images of people.
I still remember the first time I heard this song. Magical. It took me to another place and time that I'd not experienced before. 3 decades later it still takes me away and makes the hair on my neck stand up.
Thank you - your video added to the inspiration of the day: THE SEASON OF RETURN It is the song of October that sang to my heart this morning... The morning of an Easter Sunday when we celebrate HIS ASCENSION His Season of Return... He goes on... And I do not have to worry, I do not have to care, If kingdoms rise and fall... Because HE GOES ON
i laughed at a friend of mine because her name is october and her birthday's in may. she was named after this song and now i understand why. this is beautiful.
bellissimo,awesome video!.....mi spiace molto per i fan più giovani,o per quelli che sentenziano su gli u2 soltanto per gli ultimi 3 o 4 cd!...gli u2 di cui mi sono innamorato io nel 1983(ho visto 15 concerti,il primo nell'85 l'ultimo 3 mesi fa' a torino) quelli che mi hanno fatto crescere ,cambiato il senso ad alcune cose della vita(politica,societa') insieme ai Simple Minds....sono proprio questi! eredità raccolta con onore dai Radiohead e sopratutto dai MUSE,strepitosi! Grazie ,thank you!
It's depressing to think my generation are listening to absolute crap like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber. Yet the previous generation were listening to stunners like this.
Something has gone seriously wrong down the years.
@Schumitastic OBVIOUSLY something's gone wrong. Why don't people listen to this and watch things like the Lion King and Spirit? Now all they do is watch s*** like High School Musical and Hannah Montana XL
This is when you realize how beautiful and amazing music and life can be and if you keep a picture of how October is, you simply sigh and have no words to describe what you feel. You can hardly believe how beautiful it is. That's just my point of view :)
This song is so unknown when some people think of U2, Thank you Alcyna for finally putting this out there, this song is absolutely beautiful, and is one of U2's great ones.
Sometimes simple words are the most meaningful. Europeans know a lot about the rise and fall of kingdoms. US citizens think they are invincible. The reality is that no nation or kingdom will go on and on.
Perhaps not, but collectively they behave as though they are. They are extremely arrogant in one of two ways: First, it is believed that the US government can & will provide them with free food, safety, & healthcare. In reality, their security is being financed by other nations and the rich. This is not sustainable. OR Second Americans think that they are superior to all nations. This attitude breeds enemies. Perhaps it is the people who admit that the US will one day fall are the realists.
But like the person before said, it's not all American's. Any "kingdom" is liable to fall at any moment, just as any one cannot provide for every citizen. And yes, while some believe to be the ultimate in superiority, that is not the case for every American. I may have been born in America, but I shudder at the way the government is run and the complete lack of respect others have for countries not of their own.
sometimes i forget to breath - in face of such beauty. just falling tears...falling into the music...into the pictures. *smile* i wish my tears get those october-colours.
Ciau Alcyna, molto belle le immagini ma secondo me ci poteva stare una musichetta un pochino più movimentata.. :P molto particolare la bimba che appare nel penultimo fotogramma. Sempre complimentoni. un bacio
Andre, musichetta più movimentata??... ma il video è proprio il brano degli U2!... e ho pure avuto problemi di copyright, che trovo non motivati perchè la canzone era già presente su YT.... eh, che misteri, ma grazieeee!!!!
Alzi la testa e guardi un'ultima volta il cielo, seduto su quella panchina, mentre un tiepido raggio di sole ti colpisce strappandoti un sorriso." Ora è tardi " e mentre il sole chiude gli ultimi spiragli, le foglie si arrendono al freddo..
Ma è una meraviglia, altro che venuto male! Non è che you tube ci fa vedere male i nostri propri video, un sadico giochetto? A parte gli scherzi non solo si vede bene, ma è intenso, limpido e profondo allo stesso empo, come te! Baci Donni
Il mondo delle cose animate percepite con le stesse empatia e gratitudine con cui percepisci le creazioni del pensiero umano. Sempre grande, Alcyna!! *****
Alcyna, you are the undisputed impresario of YouTube ! You have a beautiful ability to find gorgeous imagery and match it with the absolute perfect music.
Along with that piercing blue eye you show the world should be a golden ear...............

Et le royaume s'érige
Et le royaume s'effondre
Mais tu continues
Encore.
