Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own

[beckyloulaa]

"do you hear me when I sing....your the reason I sing....your the reason why we are praising me."

"just gotta let you know a house doesn't make a home...don't leave me here alone.." this song touches my heart every time I listen to it.

[MrTekk76]

I dedicate this track to my partner Dale. Lyxx

Matt

[nintemic]

This song moves people. Gives me the goosebumps and the lyrics hit you hard. i love you U2.

[Classiconist]

Since my dad died in 2006 this song became very important to me and it's meaning changed forever...I cry every time I hear it and the words are so true. Thank you U2.

Dad, it's so hard without you...

[MrBuckwilliam]

i can't do it... not all the time

[R3DFLCN]

I dedicate this song to the greatest woman I've ever had the pleasure to meet, Sasha.

[11vered]

[ImaginarySunsets]

And it's you when I look in the mirrooor

And it's you that makes it hard to let gooo

Sooometimes you can't make it on your own...* ♥

[fckwful]

Bono often sounds better live in concerts than he sometimes does on records. I don't know why but he seems to like a kind of "broken" voice...

[Kriketa9]

This is so beautiful song!!!! I cryyyyy I love U2!!!! I cryyyyyyyyyy

[gelzocs]

Perfect classic!

[RyanPeak123]

that's the song what they have played at the funeral of my father

[matezguy]

1:17

[Braineater16]

reminds me of my dad god rest his soul

[smurfu2]

This song came along just after i lost my mother. It helped me get through a really tough time. Thanks to U2.

Love & peace from Scotland.

[voxje]

The Beatles / The Rolling Stones / ABBA / and all those who will be remembered forever - U2 is one of them!

[thebaco79]

qué irónico es tener la necesidad de decirte manhana: "feliz día".. y al mismo tiempo de golpear a alguien... o algo... demasiado irónico... (15.02.2004)

[fsantana09]

To u dad i love you>3

[sunragnarok]

homage to dad...

[fce2011]

beautiful music perfect......

[meerkovo]

quality tune all the words have so much meaning tht means a lot to people tht mean the world!!

[Diegochsmile]

wtf? if i were there i would cheer my ass off for that. not like those lame ass girls at the end

[KingMoeis1992]

the best band ever!!!! i love them

[xxleandraxx1]

Makes me cry and remember my dead loved ones, I lost my papa "grandpa" to stage 4 leaukmia doctors told him he only had 6 months to a year to live on easter 99' he said he wasnt ready to leave his grand babies, kids and wife. He lived for 6 years. I held my nana, mom take care of him. I went to every kemo session and hospital visits. I was there to mark the moment when he left. I tramped a nurse to get back n the room. He was bearly 64. 3.22.42-3.28.05 i loveyoualways.

[jmterning]

I think this is shot in Edge's house. If anyone saw It Might Get Loud you might notice that this setting looks a lot like Edge's studio.

[MrDemilord]

where is this recorded, this sounds like a private concert for a limited crowd

[matteus4God]

u2 is still awesome and this was about his(bono's) dad. its got to be a tough song to sing

[hummerdude731]

the guitar and vocals in this performance are amazing!

[Jameyp876]

What happened to Bono's voice?  It sounds like he is covering up for serious vocal cord issues, and trying to pass it off as stylings. Give him a lozenge and put U2 to bed....forever.

[pique777]

@Jameyp876 It is true that his voice has lost some of its depth & quality, but I would call this an amazing live performance. the stylings have always been a part of his repertoire, and the band actually play their instruments.... wow

[austinv785]

@Jameyp876 regardless, his voice is still better than a lot of singers today. Thats just what happens with age

[jtncclt]

@Jameyp876 youre a dick



[Jameyp876]

@jtncclt I prefer Richard.

[jmterning]

@Jameyp876 you should attach a video of a band who has a lead singer that you think's better than Bono, that way we sensible people can say crap about them.

[jBxDD]

Guitar from 3:00 -3:45 <3

[pattipie100]

Good song...first time I've heard it. wow! U2 forever...:-))))))

[atenass12]

really good, really excelent, where was record this video? long life U2!!!

[nini5516611]

My favorite song of U2!! ... and Walk On!!

[mathbrmath]

@nini5516611

WOW, me too! =D

[marilynvibe]

the best song ...U2 forever and ever.

[byronwest]

cool to see he used the EHX pog before no line on the horizion. or at least i guess thats the "jangle detuned" sound. i liked the (?) vertigo (?) tour where the giant vidi wall behind them just had the man walking and walking during the song. goosebumps.

[TheFlyBaby1]

This version was recorded live in 2005 as part of the H.T.D.A.A.B promo @ Hannover Quay, Dublin by Radio 1. Presented by Zane lowe and Jo Whiley who u see @ the end of the song . Its a magical outpouring of emotion th@ sends shivers down your spine ! One off the greatest live performances of any song iv ever heard.....stunning !!!!!!! Enjoy

[rqax]

Mom: where are you going?

Me: to hit hard 2 ppl

Mom: take your gun with you honey!

Me: thank you mom!

[khot57]

INCREDIBLE!!

[S0NiCCCCC]

never fails to get a ton of goosebumps out of u wenever u listen to it at full volume or otherwise

[austenfan4]

OMG this one is a tearjerker!! Simply magnificent, very haunting.

[MrsNL]

the best music in the world

[Loony4Outdoors]

sweet sound......

[poesia1973]

XSIEMPRE EN NUESTRAS VIDAS...........GRACIAS DIOS.

[blm20000]

definitivamente umas das melhores bandas de todos os tempos...

definitely one of the best bands of all time ...

[pivpong]

Why are there so many people who are saying U2 wrote "Maimi"?? I just don't understand. At every single video from u2 or where u2 is playing i scroll down an i see those same 3 words. Annoying. Can someone please tell me why? But tis song is magical!! Love it!

[Aggatsi]

Epic

[tomagiot]

How brilliant is this?

[shanie119]

beutifulll lirics, lovely song with respect, something that is sadly missing in this age!

[Goendiful]

This really is a wonderful song.

[jancukon]

Is this a private show? the audience seems so close to the band...so cool...wish i was there...

[SHAUNFREAK]

hands down one of the greatest songs ever

[BONJOVI0405]

the egde's solo in this video is extremely wonderful!!

"a house doesnt make a home", dad, i miss you

[SoccerRockNY]

Great and powerful song.. you can see Bono is visibly emotional when singing it.. it is one which I'm sure many guys can relate to around the world - relationship between father and son.

[TheRealCritique]

whether or not you like this song, I would recommend any musician to listen to and study the dynamic in this song. It is really well constructed. Great job on the vocals, too. The production is crazy - it sounds both live and studio at the same time...that RICKENBACKER is channelling the 60s psychedelic dealio....

[luieu2]

at 3:08 this song blows me away amazing song !

[u2akrobata]

u2 Masterpiece

[S0NiCCCCC]

love this song! =)...one of the best versions of it too..its just unbelievably magical...sing along with bono!...haha adam is just too cool

[Europe1992]

Is this in Hanover Quay Studios ??:S

[woobaby79]

really REALLY good version.......

[rafregt13]

[paddymourinho]

HOW dare you post that crap on this video!

Have some respect you sad sad person.

[mrkewlkid]

[S0NiCCCCC]

@mrkewlkid even better than the record

[mrkewlkid]

u2 for life bro...u2 for life

[gonzogus]

Without question one of their best songs.

[TheSemperreformanda]

this is why they are and always have been..untouchable.

[jimmer9907]

Great post!! Do you have any others from this performance?

[Dickie74111]

Nice and RAW..His voice is just amazing.

[rutjeputje]

Best version ever ;)

[dominicantan]

Excellent as always and one of my personal favourites ;-)

[cllaudi]

His voice is incredible. It just makes me cry...

[burdi2601]

REWELACJA !

[sarahptk]

my favourite U2 song. beautiful.

[derrenfan]

bono wrote this for his father

[katielukelily]

how beautiful is this!

[ariilii]

Beautiful song!!

<3 <3

makes me cry!!

:D

[YokooMokooTokoo]

I think that this song is one of the best of U2. I love it and this band for ever ;]

[JoyC666]

This song makes me chocke everytime ,

music can change people

[Rossi29901]

The best song even written.

[msofjobee57]

"Can you hear me when I sing? You're the reason I sing. You're the reason the opera is in me."

Reminds me so much of my grandfather. RIP

[dluv119]

very moving song. bravo!

[tatogarza1982]

the best of U2!

[mjh0055]

Magnificent song. So moving.

[gtranchina78]

the best in the universe.

[Bragglord]

Such a good song, one of U2's very finest (for me its this and beautiful day). Bono is a living legend, got such respect for the guy.

[TheSGS5]

this song is great, but beautiful day is pretty average against pretty much every song off achtung, joshua tree or rattle and hum.

they've been good, but sporadic since achtung

[Bragglord]

No way!

Beautiful day will always be one of my 3 faves, it's so uplifting and, well, epic.

[TheSGS5]

BD is a good song for sure. i think where the streets have no name, one and acrobat would be my favs.

they still write a lot of great songs, its just that the newer albums have more songs that seem average as compared with the first 10-15 years

[Bragglord]

I kinda agree, "get on your boots" had nothing on some of the earlier songs (despite still being better than 95% of the crap some "artists" come out with nowadays, thanks a bunch Lady Gaga).

[TheSGS5]

come on dude......just dance!

[MattRoyston12345]

"Sometimes you can't make it on your own"

Perfectly logical.

"Sometimes you have to fake it."

Applicable to popular High-School Students; most of them feign popularity, but these are charlattans and truly popular teenagers never worry about their friends turning against them.

Just ask Drew Girard.

[lovemeorediee]

U2 is everything for me!<3 they helped me so much when I was going through some hard stuff<3 and this song is the most beutiful song I know!<3

[iSeeMeWhoDoYouSee]

I cried on the way to school listening to this song. Perfect to have a wee cry to. xo

[KateNilay]

Perfect song! It was so moving when this was at the end of one "The OC" episode :)

[jandiehel]

U2 = perfect

[tariqsayed]

this song is something special

[dgunter19]

this song is 4 my dad to it make me well happy

[tariqsayed]

WOW

[keimzeit88]

BONO U n s c h l a g b a r !!!!!!!! U2 waren und bleiben die beste Band der Welt.

Es ist ein Hochgenuss, U2 zu hören und zu sehen. Auch in live immer etwas Besonderes. Eine fantastische Band. GENIAL.

[cbono69]

ive been a u2 fan for years since the war album..This song is everything i wanna say but cant to my dad..He wouldnt understand..All in all this song makes me feel peace...Thanks Bono..Thanks for last week in Nyc,,It was great to tell you why and how come about life..friend..

[baz11850]

What DVD is this on?

[fancs07]

"...A house doesn't make a home

Don't leave me here alone..."

awesome!!!

[huruiodo]

ボ～ノ　ボノボノ　魚の子♪

[exactsame]

I think this song sums up Bono's whole life, what he came from, what made him what he is...and a beautiful performance to boot...

[matteus4God]

wow. i have heard this song a thousand times, but the emotion and power i this song by bono is incredible. The best U2 song ever?

No one would put Bono at the top 100 best singers, but no one conveys more emotion in a song

[Bragglord]

I agree, it's amazing. The only that challenges this in my opinion is Beautiful Day.

[scottpossie]

This is without doubt the best version of this song ever. no doubt about it! Anyone disagree?

[matteus4God]

the one at the grammy's is really good as well

[MylesStandish1656]

powerful. the intimacy of this small venue adds to this song's performance. in your living room kind of feel.

[Franckdatankpart2]

I personally like the performance of this song in Milan the best. This one is cleaner though.

[sally55510]

I must've have heard like 8 versions of this song and i really think this is the best. Bono has so much passion and emotion, the lyrics are just beautiful and the Edge just makes me want to play guitar. Everything about U2 just inspires me to be a better perso=on. This song will always mean alot to me and the ones i have lost.

U2<3 & PEACE Forever

[Carelesshottie1]

Adam looks like he gonna cry.

[Ziminho19]

most beautiful version of this song

[thefivesolas]

very powerful, passionate. he's always been a brilliant song writer

[ishaan719]

best version of this song the solo sounds awesome

[Soh2k8]

The shimmer in Edges guitar throughout the song makes it beautiful...especially from 4:44 to 5:07.Amazing song!

[chinorios18]

por dios, qe TEMON, qe buena banda, increible

[americanpitbull04]

goose bumps on 3:24 awesome, ''u are the reason why the opera is in me''. well hey i still got let u kow a house just dont make a home, don't leave me here alone''!!! , great dedication for a father, i miss my dad as well bono

[bonoman7628]

[americanpitbull04]

2 thumbs way up !!!!!!! awesome job U2

[rga38]

Impresionante....gracias

[Franckdatankpart2]

This performance starts off raw sounding in an awesome way and builds up to a magical like climax til the end.

[SirioPao]

Semplicemente meravigliosa!

[cuka85]

una sola parola... fantastica..

[groovesonica]

Divina, suonata e cantata alla perfezione! Mentre l'ascolto mi vengono i brividi, sono sicuro che questa sarà una canzone che nel corso dei decenni diventerà storica...

[shackle5]

fucking brilliant

[shackle5]

mercy and this version and with or are their best.

[Tomymacaroni]

wonderfull live singing !!!

[Butters87]

Didn't they do a BBC Radio promotion one night performing this, Vertigo, Miracle Drug and All Because of You ?! I'm pretty sure this is the same version of SYCMIOYO.

Or did I dream that up one night :D

[chrisrolly]

this must be the bbc one, you can see joe whiley right at the end. fuckin quality performance, probably the most emotional song ive ever heard!

[antiid]

what a great song!! it's much better than the studio version!!!amazing!!

[EestiKeel]

Great song to head off for the weekend cheers

[offaly2203]

beautiful song

[Antipostmodern]
