  • this song is good!! i heard it while i was watching the u2 360 tour dvd....

  • Edge is wrapped in a lot of clingfilm because his ex-girlfriend was the co-author and originator of Achtung Baby and she always thought his chest was rather sexy and wanted to show it off.

  • Hey, it IS the end of the world today! (21 October 2011) ~_^

  • love love

  • Great song. Judas was not a traitor.

  • @jazu40-Judas was a dullard for what he did...

  • I got into U2 when i first heard october, then onto war, unforgettable fire and joshua tree. started to fall out with them with rattle and hum then along came achtung baby and i had a "musical moment".... i remember buying the CD and playing it solidly for 3 months, surely and without doubt the best album they had released and still to this day in my opinion. still sounds fresh and relevant 21 years later. have seen them 4 times and love hearing this track live.....just pure brilliance....

  • the guitar in this is amazing!

  • LOS AMOOOOO <3 <3!! esta rola se funde en mi wow!!

  • awesome video...

  • Yes YouTube, I know I liked it... and I know I will hit the "like" button 1000X more.

  • This song is about Jesus from Judas's perspective.

  • wauuuuuuuuuuuuuu

    

  • Este es el mejor tema de U2. Siempre recuerdo el día en que vi el video en vivo en el año 92. Flash!!

  • I'll be the biggest fan of U2 until the end of the world! =)

  • Love this LP version. The Edge - Love his guitar style. The bass player is Terrific!! Bono is NUMBER #1 . Greta lyrics in this tune. Wayne

  • .) ;) ;)

    

  • I'm 14 got Brought up on this music and its better than the crap nowadays

  • this is back in the day when u2 wasn't overrated...this is when their good stuff was magnificent.

  • @Vash1286 I agree. I listened to this when I watched the Wim Wenders film. U2 was 'just' a very good band then.

  • great song!!! I love this song!!!!

    

  • This song is so beautiful sounding to me. Probably because I grew up listening to these songs when I was at least 6. That's probably why it's so appreciable to me.

  • In my dream I was drowning my sorrows

    But my sorrows, they learned to swim

    Surrounding me, going down on me

    Spilling over the brim

    Waves of regret, waves of joy

    I reached out for the one I tried to destroy

    You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world.

  • A see on the right a featured video called ''2012: The End of The World''.

    Cut me a f-----g break.

  • luv that bass!

  • It's actually my favorite U2 song. Listening to it as an older person, I can hear Daniel Lanois loud and clear. I love it.

  • ... i kiss your lips and i broke your heart ... you ...you are act ...if it was the end of the world...great, great song in a great album, achtung baby in the most beautiful album of the 90s'.

  • The drums............. Oh Ringo where are you mate?, listen to the drums!

  • You said so, so it's probably true, right?

  • It's a hell of a lot better than that other channel...

  • I agree!  I was in my van and had this on my CD player and almost drove into a light pole....

  • amazing

  • one of the best of the unplayed u2 songs

  • Love this song. It's so powerful when it comes to the lyrics. Just great. Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Joshua Tree, their 3 best albums. Easily.

  • @achtungzooropa No way everything 80s up to and including Rattle and hum and achtung baby. Their late 90s blew until all that you cant leave behind

  • This song makes me nuts.......i love it...

  • que chingona rolaaaaa!!!!!!  : DD

  • great cd

  • One of the greatest songs of U2 but There are just so many songs that I love

    @leferinkAG I was 10 when I came to enjoy U2

  • im 15 year, and damn i like this music!! U2 the best! pls one more tour!!!

  • I agree with everyone---the best album they have ever done. One the coolest guitar parts of the 20th century, hands down. Beautiful song.

  • The "Achtung Baby" is the best album of U2 and this song is the best song of them Ez a legjobb U2 album és a legjobb dal tőlük mindörökké!

  • The "Achtung Baby" is the best album of U2 and this song is the best song of them !

  • @parkany31 ,I agree about Actung Baby being U2's best. Pop, Zooropa & Joshua Tree are awesome too.

  • The Joshua Tree was the equivalent of the BEATLES "Rubber Soul", an maybe "Revolver", because that album is the best they made.

    Achtung Baby is really the equivalent of the BEATLES "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Album", probably due to the fact it has a lot of intricate exprimentation, as well as the psychedelic influence. Both albums were of two bands trying to find a new sound! An in doing so reinvented themselves, creating a better sound, in sophistication, style & influence!

  • @DvD21mIL ,Wrong! First off, Sgt. Peppers is overated! Actung Baby is more like U2's "Physical Grafitti" or "Electric Ladyland". If any U2 album is like Sgt. Peppers, it would be Zooropa. BTW, Abbey Road, Revolver & Rubber Soul are the Beatles best three albums. White Album & Sgt. Peppers are vastly overated!

  • Ya know because U2 had gained their popularity in the 80s' when most people think of great albums of the 90s' they tend to think of Nevermind by Nirvana or Ten by Pearl Jam etc. and these are great albums.However Achtung baby is without question one of if not the best album of the 90s'. I listened to this constantly. Joshua tree and this are their best.U2 have not made a better album since.

  • @MrBuc128 Agreed. Achtung Baby,Never Mind, and Ten all came out the same year if I'm not mistaken. I've always felt that Achtung was the album of the era. Maybe not in the States, but worldwide.

  • @MrBuc128 achtung baby is one of the best albums of all time. and yes definitely their best. i loved the first half of zooropa, parts of pop weren't bad either. but achtung baby was truly their magnum opus in my opinion. of all they've done... this period was just magical.

  • @MrBuc128 Not even Dismantle?

  • @MrBuc128 I absolutely agree with you. Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby are the peaks of U2's career, both innovative and creative in their arrangements and lyrics. I'd say that Achtung baby is even one step ahead in terms of originality and lyrics.

  • @MrBuc128 its the best!!!

  • @MrBuc128 True: they haven't made a better album since False: best album of the 90s. Too many styles & undisputable masterpieces to call "best record of the decade" a CD that despite being very ecclectic and colourful, and bringing U2 enough energy to survive the rest of the decade , it doesn't have the originality of "The Joshua Tree" (the record only U2 could have done when it was released), but a lot of ideas joint before the originals reached the mainstream.

  • @MrBuc128 no line in the horrizon the last are better then this

  • @ElteShow Oh God No,nothing could be further from the truth.It's been 20 years since Achtung Baby and they should have broken up after that.They would have gone out on top instead of giving us the crap they have ever since.

  • @MrBuc128 you cant call it crap, U2 songs that are most listened to are the new songs like beautifull day, elevation and those

  • @ElteShow Newsflash just because something is popular does not mean it's good. Maybe Beautiful day is O.K..at best but songs like Stuck in a moment that is just an awful song Trust me I have wanted to like U2 for many years now.Every good band has a limited creative period. I'm a Springsteen fan but I have no use for his current music.

  • @MrBuc128 listen to city of blinding lights, magnificent, elevation and vertigo u will like them

  • @MrBuc128 I agree with you there. Springsteen seems to have lost his way for a while.

  • why's the edge wrapped in a giant condom?

  • @LoLzZ85 maybe its a chrysalis?

  • this song and video are great to watch and listen to when your on acid

  • the best band of all times

    simpley fuck to the other bands

    u2 until the end of the world

  • @zakilaouira , Wrong!!! Led Zeppelin is!

  • @amstell13 AHH PLZ

    U2 ARE WAYY BETTER

    U2 THE BEST BAND EVER

  • @zakilaouira ,LMAO-No U2 isn't! LOL,LOL,LOL!!!

    Let me know when U2 makes a song like Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand, Trampled Underfoot, The Rain Song, Ten Years Gone, etc., etc. Led Zeppelin is the most powerful, heartfelt band of all-time!

  • @amstell13 You forgot some of their best songs too, like everything from "Led Zeppelin I" to "In Through The Out Door"! I really really love U2, but NOTHING Compares to the Mighty Zep!

  • @FriedChickenofDeath6

    Even thought Led Zeppelin I was entirely cover songs?

  • @gergaginflopple SPECIALLY because of that! Amazing versions, they could take a good song and turn it into a whole different level of awesomeness, another perspective, another time, another place, another SONG! (:

  • Essa música é o máximo!!!!

  • I love this song but the video is sick...

  • Ésta canción es de mis favoritas, me encanta, ¡qué excelente album es el Achtung Baby! mmm baby...

  • Even though people say it's about Judas and Jesus plus the devil, its actually quite a sexy song with all that flirting and being a tart in the garden plus kissing. It's bloody great I love it. Fab guitar.

  • 28 dislikes = 28 justin bieber fans

  • Comment removed

  • and yeah, the song is about judas talking to jesus... i like the lyric 'i reached out for the one i tried to destroy...' bono is an amazing lyricist, imho. he really captures the torment right there in that one line.

  • i LOVE the way that 'flood' mixed the guitars in this one... when you listen to it on a headset, the sound goes back and forth, like it is rolling through your head from side to side...

  • @SighSnootles That sounds very cool.

  • Its about Judas reflecting on his last encounters with Jesus. "I kissed your lips and broke your heart" ... "I reached for the one I tried to destroy". "We were close together as a bride and groom" hinting at the kiss. "Ate food and drank wine". "I took the money" etc

  • @DvD21mIL its actually about the Devil

  • @Leighluvs1983 I too think it's about Judas who's talking to Jesus. Could you explain why it's about the devil? I would love to know. Greetings

  • @ArrJayEss Judas COULD be considered the devil... the way the plot played out...only the devil would betray Jesus, right? ...but it was already written that THAT would happen. Regardless .... another great U2 song.

  • @U2rocksKEN judas was played by both sides.as was adam and cain.let the lesson be, always sit on the fence

  • @onyachamp so true, ...thanks for putting it in a different perspective :)

  • The 360 version is better! :)

  • @U21310 u must be stoned.. the original is the best in 92...

  • Viva!! Viva Viva  these fortress of music, These song is a sword against messengers of music's death.

    I mean Justin Bieber, Jonas Brothers and Lady Gaga

  • I don't generally like U2 but this song has it all!!

  • hey, dont get me wrong, i dont like u2 music, because they dont have anything to give to my ears, if u guys like u2 music, thats fucking great, but dont squirt in your pantys saying u2 is the BEST ROCK BAND EVER, and dont even bother trying to say the edge is a great guitar player, because to be honest, their knowledge about music is too poor, and a TRUE FAN, cant recongize that, because they are ear blinded

  • @makiney13 Talk for yourself

    If you think they suck why did you even click on this song?

    Maybe they arent the best ""Rock"" band ever, but they got something that other ""rock"" bands dont, and thats soul. If you dont see that fine, but dont be a prick a shit on others because you are an closed-minded arogant person

    thats your problem. Kisses and hugs :******

  • @TheFilipize, ok, to be honest with you, if i saw this video, it was because a friend of mine beg me to see it.... and, ok, thats fine, i love by the way, but, if you say u2 has a SOUL... well, why dont you just go to a doctor to check your ears..

    A LOT OF KISSES!!!

  • @makiney13 my ears are fine thank you :)

    But there is no cure for bad taste in music :)

    More hugs than kisses :*

  • @TheFilipize hahaha, totally agree!!!!! (about there´s no cure for bad taste in music ) MORE KISSES, AND WHAT THE HELL ¬¬, A HUGE HUG!!!!!!! i really hope you are a pretty girl... cuz im a boy ehh.... i mean, about the kisses

  • @makiney13 Im glad we finaly agree at something(You still suck :D)

    Aww thats sweet but im not a girl and im not gay

    So srry

    That sucks for you :/

  • @TheFilipize hehe, yes so do you (you suck ¬¬) so, we have an agreement, we both sucks equally, you suck because you like u2, and im suck because u2 doesnt impress me, and, well then, i guess this is it about kissing, hehe LOL.... take care mate

  • @makiney13 :)

    World peace,bro

    U2(Get it? You too, hahaha ha ha ......... ha, well fuck it -.- )

  • @TheFilipize hahaha.. i get it! cheers! bro!!! let´s keep listening music!!! this is all about

  • @makiney13 you will die soon, you stupid faggot.

  • @colorwheel777 , maybe ill die soon, maybe i will, faggot?... i should be faggot if i was a u2 fan hahaha, what a crap """"rock"""" band, its a fact, the edge is by far the dumbest guitar ever, he has no fucking idea of what a guitar is, licks in the guitar sick??? come on, you probably should listen a lot of music before say that kind of stupid statement... cheers for those who likes u 2, but FUCK YOU for all those who thinks u2 knows a shite about how to make MUSIC

  • bono - spirit!

  • OK so maybe everyone already knows this already, however since I only found out recently I'l assume this might help some people understand the song.

    Its about Judas reflecting on his last encounters with Jesus. "I kissed your lips and broke your heart" ... "I reached for the one I tried to destroy". "We were close together as a bride and groom" hinting at the kiss. "Ate food and drank wine". "I took the money" etc

  • This song has my fav edge guitar solo.....awesome.....2.02

  • and still, the world has not ended yet :P

  • The words "I kissed your lips and broke your heart" were sang to me by Bono in Tampa '09! Then Bono took my drawing book with pictures of him and the band in it, and i havent seen it since. :)

  • @JenniGail23 you must be happy:D

  • u2 mixer,they weren't schoolboys. He let them "away with stuff" because they paid his wages and knew exactly where they wanted to go. Eno both guides and is guided by the members of U2. This recurring idea that without Eno U2 wouldn't be able to handle the requirements of producing U2 music was proven so wrong when they joined up with Rick Rubin and produced something completely different but equally powerful and equally potent U2. The boys can fly without their iconic puppet master ;)

  • "In my dreams I was drowning my sorrows but my sorrows they learnt to swim. Surrounding me, going down on me, spilling over the brim."

    As an adolescent in the deepest moments of my teen angst I used to think that was an excellent suicide note.

  • AND HERE WE GO!!! BONO!

  • MI canción...

  • mi canción favorita de U2 (junto con miss Sarajevo) y también una de mis canciones favoritas¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • oui

  • THIS SONG IS THE BEST U2 THE BEST

  • @carolina0953 ,Led Zeppelin is better! And by a ton too!

  • Bass is terribly untight at 02:59-03:19...

  • @felsner1 I like the way Eno let the band get away with stuff ;)

  • The best U2 video EVER. And obviosly, the best U2 song.

    At 2:27 is the Bono's Face from the Zooropa bookletXD

  • ohnoyoudiint...this song is about jesus christ and judas conversation...

  • ohnoyoudiint...this song is about jesus christ and judas conversation...

  • My favorite U2 song....

  • This sone ROCKS on the Live at Slain DVD!

  • great song! I've been a fan for nearly 18 years. this rocks

  • REACT

    Pen is position opinion (MARRIAGE RANK)

  • this song freakin kills in concert, its not my favorite U2 song when im home listening to them (tho i still like it a lot and love drumming to it) but in concert it is probably my favorite. rock.

  • One of the best songs on Achtung. It should have gotten more rotation.

  • is it an official video ?

  • in the garden i was playing guitar, I KISS YOUR LIPS AND BROKE YOUR HEART :)

  • @UntilDaEndOfDaWorld " In the garden, I was playing THE TART. " Meaning, he was being a slut. It's slang over in the U.K. and Ireland. He wasn't playing the guitar though.

  • @UntilDaEndOfDaWorld "kissed"

  • live most better !!!

  • My favourite U2 Song. The album is awesome too.

  • i like the live version better

  • This song is about Jesus and Judas, according to Wikipedia.

  • YES I Agree with you man!!!!!!

  • easily their best song. best rock lyrics, and those guitar licks are SICKKKK!

  • Quite simply the stand out song from the greatest album ever by the greatest band ever

  • you said it.

  • još i sada se naježim kad čujem ovu stvar UUUUUUUUUUUU222222222222222222­222

  • I took the money

    I spiked your drink

    You miss too much these days if you stop to think

    You lead me on with those innocent eyes

    You know I love the element of surprise

  • Thanks for writing out the lyrics... I didnt know he said spiked your drink... ??? It makes the song that much more dangerous.. In a bono kinda way!!

  • nunca he escuchado a otra banda tocar la guitarra como the Edge, ese sonido especial que le caracteriza tanto a U2..

  • Sometimes i feel like Judas!!!!!!!!

  • you'de be suprised at the power of music, one song can literaly save a life. awesome song, got me thru high school.

  • @Curien247 me too

  • This song is a U2 classic but I think the music video is not so good.

  • well, who cares about the video? i mean are they a band of just making videos or of music?

  • I care about the music video. U2 has done many memorable music videos like Even better than the real thing with the "flying" camera (don't watch it if you have a hang over), Discotheque's visual firecracking, the bar version of One and it's intimacy and so on.

  • my personal fav of theirs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

  • I agree with you, but this is my generation. Anything from Achtung Baby, Joshua Tree or that other album they did "Name of Pride" Rocks! But now it is like they are putting out generic crap and your right it sucks.

  • @fulushouxi

    the opinion of anyone who thinks u2 made a song called 'name of pride' can not be taken seriously.

  • @fulushouxi

    You are homophobic, don't know simple grammar, and pretend to be an expert on U2 music in spite of the fact you don't even know the name of one of their most famous songs. I believe you are the one with problems.

    Seriously.

    Go film a tornado or something.

  • fail.

  • True. Achtung Baby ROCKS! Especiallt this tune and The Fly! Fucking awesome.

  • I grew up on U2, man... They're the best band. Ever. I love this song, too. I love them all... But Achtung Baby was their darkest album. But it was absolutely beautiful! Ah... U2, I can't wait to see you in concert next year. Yay.

  • That's so depressive. What's wrong with you?

  • U2 wrote "Miami"

  • the end of the world is nigh!!! fantastic song though. LOL

  • end of the world for some.... .....not winking at all.

  • listen how edge play the guitar !

  • Nice vid :) Gj

  • surrounding me, going down on me, swimming over the brim...

  • I was so f... in love when I fell in love in this song, i stil love her(song)

  • One of my favorite U2 songs! They rock the shit out if this!!!

  • In my dreams, I was drowning my sorrows, but my sorrows they learned to swim.

    As a teenager, in my depression I used to think this was a great suicide note. But I´m past that now, thanx.

  • @mutedisease : if you can go through your teen years without a song that brings out these feelings you are not normal. A hug, a call, a note, a smile--anything almost--can change that decision on any given day. You just reminded me of my duties as a father.
