  • when i listen to U2, i go to a place that doesn't exist

  • Music from when they were still good. It's good to remember them that way.

  • Love the way the strings and synths cascade,sweep and soar. Can't think of another way to describe them.

  • Past favourite & still sounds great

  • ma deuxième grosse claque avec U2 après with or without you.

  • Inesquecível

    

  • on retrospect, maybe i should not have asked for olives in my subway footlong.

  • U2's October - on eof the greatest and most underated albums ever made. Been a fan since '11 Oclock Tick Tock' single.

  • U2.. AN UNFORGETTABLE FIRE.... THE ONLY ONE!!!!

  • It IS the best U2 song

  • paradise

  • When U2 used to make decent records!

  • very powerful song,one of my favs

  • A fine song inspired by Bono's visit to a display of artworks by Japanese atomic bomb survivors entitled 'The Unforgettable Fire'. The 'actual' video for this had some memorable images which played upon that exhibition too.

  • This song never got the recognition it should have had. It's a truly magical song.

  • fantastico! Maravilha!

  • fantastic job!

  • This was all Brian Eno, fellow U2 friends. U2 had no concept of making a song like this until they begged Eno and lanoi to be their producers after War. I'm not complaining cause I wouldn't want to hear a War part 2. This to me is the best song on an album that seemed to be unfinished.

  • GREAT SONG!!!!

  • top

  • This is one of my fav u2 tunes of all time...IT'S AWESOME.

  • fantadtic song

    what s force to now

    2011 now

    the best songs the word

    u2

  • Probably my favourite U2 song of all time

  • great song!

  • great job and you couldnt have picked a better U2 song...AWESOME

  • That's why I love them!!!

  • Well done - clever and respectful to the original work.

  • U2 молодцы! Вдохновляют вообще сильно! Благодаря таким людям цивилизация и держится!

  • You know you meet someone that is special and very mysterious in your life and then shes gone ... People come and go... I don't... In my mind I try to be optimistic in every aspect that life leads me(like water flowing)... These are the only positive words that I care for in this song...

    Stay in this time

    Stay tonight in...

    Ever after, this love in time

  • I didn't want her to walk on by... I wanted her to stay...

  • Damn. I remember the first time I heard this song in 1985. I knew they would not being going away!

  • Hey, great work!  Once U2 fan to another. Loved them since Boy, too... seen them a few times, but who can ever get enough! Thanx for your work.

  • U2coholics,FB page,Twitter and Youtube join us !

  • U2 best song

  • hey

  • II think this is the best song from U2. It's just so well composed and performed. Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen junior really show why they are one of the best rhythm duo of all time.

  • hey

  • Nice work there. Aloha!

  • how can this be better than 'a sort of homecoming?

  • I think you did an amazing job with the video!! I have never made one, but I certainly think this took some time and ability!! It did this beauty of a song, justice ....

  • I just did this on a whim, because I was bored...so please don't be too harsh...986,195 views and 2,153 likes later.....

  • I had the chance to go see their 360 tour, and my jaw dropped when they started playing this song! It was an AMAZING moment. If you have not seen this performance, go check it out.

  • adoro essa banda cada musica que eles fazem é uma inspiração total que prazer ter uma banda dessa no mundo AMO U2 *-*

  • I don't like this song, and I admit it.

  • Brilliant driving song! Great!

  • @RocketDogMan

    You are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo right!!!!!

  • nice video my friend good work

  • Comment removed

  • this song never ceases to make me cry, probably their best song and that's not an easy choice...

  • Still brilliant as ever!

  • This should be a james bond theme

  • Friends usually slow down , hell they even stop to let you out. Great song. Heard it tonight on a little public radio station here in D/FW. Funny how you can sometimes forget great music over time.

  • magnifique !!!!

    surtout a 3mn19 jusqua 4 mn05

  • Love this song! Probably my fav pre-90s. Quite a cool wee video there too :) Tutor played this full blast in 1st year of my music production course to highlight the bass guitar n kick drum locking together. Awesome bass line from Adam - up there with new years day for me!

  • Comment removed

  • Anyone know the meaning of the lyrics?? Someone must have told me years ago it was about the stardust tragedy in dublin because i always thought it was. And yet it was only the other day when i did a bit of online research did i discover theres not one single trace or mention of that link. The two things that come up are that its about a one night stand or about the hiroshima bomb?..... Strange when u have something in your mindset for so long and not quite sure why!

  • Great mix. Brings back good memories of Milton Keynes Bowl 1985 the longest day festival. The faith brothers, rammones, billy god im so shit bragg, spear of destiny and REM. What a day

  • Great mix brother!

  • For me, this song will always define who U2 was before going commercial....This song is a Masterpiece. Saw them do this live at JFK Stadium on the Joshua Tree tour in '87....Spellbinding is the only way to describe it.

  • 35 people doesn't like the city

  • very nice fella

  • "Taste is the enemy of true art " - Bono

    A band that has truly been on a "Musical Journey" since they started, without fear.

    Music Legends all of them

    Thank you guys for the additional soundtrack to my life, and continue to share the dream with all of us.

  • their best song without doubt

  • Best U2 song ever... in fact, i recon it is the best song ever made!

  • awesome vocals. i think i spelled awesome wrong

  • I WOUld Love a new Tour from U2 like the 90s .."less lights" and more old songs!

  • One awsome collage of video's, that have been worked to fit this one song!!!

    Fantastic stuff.

    Seen U2 so many times on tour, and been watching them since the boy album.

    My favorite period was 78-90. Still love their new stuff but the Boy, October, War, and under a blood red sky was their most honest albums.

  • @nuttymanyelismate .......Agreed!

    

  • 2:24 o my god I love the edge<3

  • oooonh o musiquinha tosca!!! prefiro o berg cantado na calcinha preta mesmo

  • Comment removed

  • amo gli U2,ma nn credo siano più in grado di regalarci canzoni tali da scalfire l'emotività della persona...

  • Love U2.....Thanks for posting.

  • U2 at their best

    great video

    thanx a lot

    greetz from the beautiful AMSTERDAM

  • purely fucking awesome!

  • Good effort......enjoyed watching...Glad you took the time out to put the footage together. Enjoyed witha pint of Magners Cider

  • BRILHANTE

  • This is simply wonderful....thank you ....thank you!

    

  • I urge everyone type in google now THREE DAYS OF DARKNESS this is not a hoax

  • The sun shines for EVERYONE. You´re A-B-S-O-LU-T-E-L-Y out of catholic leadership nowadays with stupid prophecies.... what a waste of time....

  • the best song ever for me,takes me to the best time of my live,thanks.

  • GREATTTTTTTTT

  • one word............BRILLIANT !

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Every great band has at least a few songs that werent their biggest chart topper or well known at all (probably never released as singles) but really is a classic, when you dig in deep. I think this is one for U2. A masterpiece of the mid80s to mid 90s era for them.

  • @Madisonrvr  R.E.M. was like that also. Their first 4 albums, before they found commercial success w/ Document, were absolute masterpieces that never get played even on stations that play classic alternative.

  • I'm starting to lissnin to this since they revived at the 360 degree tour.

  • Can't describe what this song makes me feel, I just know I love it, definitely one of my u2 favourites.

  • Love it............. but live it never comes close............. thanks to ENO, the Edge can only play one guitar at a time LIVE, ................guess that never occured to ENO seeing how he never made it!!! OVER PRODUCE!!!!

  • @tahoevic Not exactly. Egde plays Git and a holding reverb git at the same time as well as he has a button on the floor for Shynth (One). But anyway U2 is dead for a long time (80-91they were great).

  • every song you play or write is a tune love it all xxxxxxxxxx

  • The song starts off with the image of the twin towers, irony LOL!

  • @alliwanttosay1

    Not irony.

    Nostalgia maybe. Or something like that. Not irony.

  • What's not to like? Thanks for posting!

  • Good Good Good! :D

  • this is my favorite by them too.

  • u2 mASTERpIECE!

  • was it a sountrack?

  • I just love how this song starts.... the first 30 seconds are the best part of this (already great) song!

  • it is their best.....period.

  • @cratwest yeah, i agree. this is when U2 was U2. unforgetable fire was a great time for the band and such an under rated record at the time. they would later become a repetitive commercialized pop band w/ little soul.

  • and in this period of my life....and maybe for ever, this is my favourite <3

  • One of their best songs, if not the best!

  • Something incredible about this song..... Try and find me a better song. I bet you cant!

  • This song is about the Hiroshima bomb.

  • uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu222222­22222222222222

  • Sheer GENIUS at work :)

  • LOVE this song! It will forever take me back to Dartmouth College in 1984 :)

  • perfect song..!!! love you bono & u2 =)

  • Great, underrated U2 tune! Atmospheric, richly textured music, and one of the best vocal melodies from Bono. One of my all-time favorite U2 songs.

  • anyone who dislikes this needs their head examined!

  • Best U2 song for me .

  • what is the video you've used at the end with the people?

  • very good work... with great pics of our gods... ;-)

  • 31 idiots

  • Grew up with my parents being big time fans of U2. Dad would often play them on the stereo in the lounge at night when mum was at work and danced with my brother and I, had to keep up entertained somehow lol. Mind you we were like 5 years old. This is definitely one of my all time favourites of theirs, couldn't pick just one though haha.

  • This was when Mtv actually played music.

  • Got this one in 80s.

    Phenomenal Piece of Perfection.

    EXCELLENT.

  • why does u2 remind me of war especially world war 2?

  • This, was their Best album. Ever!!!

  • mind blowing xxxxxxx

  • 360 vision!?

  • The Unforgettable Fire: a fire that will burn Forever. The best album by one of the greatest bands ever.

  • The music: Feels like a breath of fresh air. Astounding. The Montage: Very Impressive. This is what you come up with when you are bored?! Great job.

  • This song is just.....indescribably beautiful. Wow.

  • anyone seen the movie "killing bono" the best movie to have come out of dublin since "the van" . I first saw U2 in november of 19 hundred and eighty one in the locarno Glasgow and it was the october tour......said the old bichterd.....but this song changed my life.Still love the coughing guitar!

  • Hell yeah brah, this song takes you to another world, more than any other can just about!

  • this has been one of my favorite songs and videos from U2 of all time. Awesome you posted the song but what a shame you had to deface such classic video in this manner. Would you happen to still have the original video? I'd rather watch that one.

  • This is an amazing video... so kudos to you for putting this together! This is my absolute favorite U2 song... and I've been listening/going to their concerts for 20 years!!! And next one, is in Miami next month!

  • good

  • when i listen this song...my mind go away...it's like a trip in the history of the world....great great U2!!!

  • The one where Bono kneels and sings into the mic. Cheers.

  • Great song, and video. Could someone please tell me the video at about 3:13?

  • At 0.16 the guitar clears her throat-so human: then spends the rest of the song in a preraphaelite tousle haired trance.

    So beautiful I was 18 when I first heard this.
