This song is not about "New Year's Day".. It's about martial law in Poland in 1981-1983..At first song had to be about Bono's wife but then during watching TV News at New Year's Day of 1982 about crappy situation in Poland he changed lyrics to tell the world about nation which fought for freedom and democracy.. But as we can see it haven't gone as well as we wanted.
@darkwaverful Never heard of The Sound before, just checked them out, yeah I can hear the similarity to U2 in the early 80s, never heard U2 refer to them as an influence tho, altho they acknowledge Joy Division, Ramones, etc
2:28 What the hell was that? It's obvious it's a playback! I mean just look at Bono at 2:12 . I love this song and especially the bassline but COME ON!
@TheEpicImpaler Hi! Unfortunately this is playback. This is the original studio recording, I recognize. On the other hand look what does Adam between 2:23-2:25. He stops to play and does something with the cigarette:) Thanks guys;))))
@22v68 You, sir, are a disgrace. Usually, I'm not that bad, but when people i dont know insult the music I listen to, they need to remember rock, especially classic rock, will always be better than other genres. If you don't like the video, don't watch it, or listen to it.
This is soooooo cool. Whoa! Have a look at Bono's hair. It was the 80s what do you expect.....The Edge actually has hair. ;)

Nearly every U2 song on on Youtube has someone noting "best song ever" I guess they must have had a few good songs.
