U2 - Stay (Faraway, So Close!) acoustic

[ziggypop79]

nice wig bono

[JRTRSQ]

At 1:07 you can see my beautiful sister, right as Bono as singing 'alive", Darla was one of the greatest U2 fans ever. She is the girl in the point of the heart to the left with a band in her hair (much clearer on the Boston video if you buy it). Anyway, she now is in heaven, where "the streets have no name" but she has the most beaufiful smile that they zoom in on here .... kinda blurry on You Tube, but if you knew her, you will recognize her if you make this a big screen. I LOVE U DARLA-CU!

[imedi]

[crotchdonkey]

u2 are gay

[Thegreenflyingyoda]

@crotchdonkey wrong grammar, dude, you're embarrassing yourself :))) why'd you even watch this anyway? :/

[crotchdonkey]

@Thegreenflyingyoda this is youtube, not an english exam. why i watched the video is nobodies business. i dont care if a u2 fan thinks im embarrassing myself, u2 are the biggest embarrassment on the planet. does that answer your question fanboy?

[Thegreenflyingyoda]

@crotchdonkey i don't know, the fact that i got 2 thumbs up maybe means that you are stupid or maybe that you are just pathetic, i hope you comprehend everything i said because i still think you should study before you make a comment :P LOL haha, btw nice name (i.e. crotchdonkey) hahaha may the force be with you :D

[crotchdonkey]

@Thegreenflyingyoda Or maybe it means that a couple of U2 fanboys were butthurt by my comments and were delighted to see your courageous attempt at defending their honour. . And why would anybody need to study before making a comment on youtube? Is something terrible going to happen because i cant be bothered to use punctuation? You forgot to use 'I' and have instead used 'i' in place of the correct grammar. Looks like your comments have bitten you on the ass fanboy.

[Thegreenflyingyoda]

@crotchdonkey dude "i" or "I" is not grammar error but spelling/typo, man. kidz these days. so high on drugs they mix things up :/

[crotchdonkey]

@Thegreenflyingyoda how is it a spelling error when it is the same letter? you complete idiot.

[Thegreenflyingyoda]

@crotchdonkey i don't know, you tell me, you're the smart ass :P

[crotchdonkey]

@Thegreenflyingyoda i just did. thats you told then cunt.

[Thegreenflyingyoda]

@crotchdonkey what? sorry can't understand, go study english first

[crotchdonkey]

@Thegreenflyingyoda if you can't understand it, then it's you who needs to study english. now get tae fuck ya greetin faced wee hing oot.

[imedi]

@Thegreenflyingyoda dont waste your time have seen this guy on other u2 vids going on with the same rubbish sad really.. just a saddo who gets off on provokeing people

[Thegreenflyingyoda]

@imedi yup just stopped mentioning him :D since he seems to be enjoying chatting here :D

[MrFilthiest]

@Thegreenflyingyoda You should have ignored him in the first place my friend, bloody trolls without a life are everywhere now on days.

[murray19701]

@Thegreenflyingyoda if you were a comodity, your name would be ANDREX, nobody wants to listen to your negative and crass comments. if you hate it that much then why listen?

[Thegreenflyingyoda]

@murray19701 stupid dude, i'm not the one who hates U2, go read the comments first!

[xpert9001]

@crotchdonkey your musical taste is sadly lacking...

[crotchdonkey]

@xpert9001 thats a matter of opinion

[matsernn]

@crotchdonkey what's the point? 

[crotchdonkey]

@matsernn what is the point of anything?

[00hazel001]

16 people sadly don't know real music :( so sad for them.

[Thegreenflyingyoda]

@00hazel001 including crotchdonkey xD

[tommahawk101]

@crotchdonkey

I'm guessing you like LMFAO?

[crotchdonkey]

@tommahawk101 what the hell is that? and know, i dont.

[tommahawk101]

@crotchdonkey

Thank goodness you don't know ;)

[96clarity]

@crotchdonkey calm down. You have no reason to be that angry.

[crotchdonkey]

@96clarity you are absolutely correct..

[crotchdonkey]

@crotchdonkey Yeah, I know. U2 are shit. Glad you agree.

[perthwind]

Nice melody. Great voice. But the lyrics is strange. This is talking about domestic violence??? Please someone tell me.

[cmicakVanja]

@perthwind

I think I've read somewhere that it is about an angel who watches over a girl, with whom he fells in love, and because of that he wants to become a human....

But even if I'm wrong, I like to think that way when I'm listening to this song :)

beautiful, indeed

[Thegreenflyingyoda]

@perthwind it's not strange, he's talking about someone who died because of a bad relationship, might be someone close who committed suicide

[Bibiciottolina]

Bonovox forever

[Imhotlikeapepper]

Raw passion ... so touching

[rafael120194]

ô ô ôooo...

[ladrodiricordi]

Live from Boston 2001...one of the most beautiful concert of History !!!

[MegaPoone]

Sweetest guitar sound in Creation.

[STUPIDvsSTUPID]

"you say, when he hits you, you dont mind - because when he hurts you, you feel alive" <3 Such a touching song, gives me chills everytime :)

[Jscout74]

because when he hurts you ...you feel ALIVE :(

[JDCUSA]

They are in a class all alone. Nobody comes close to U2.  They are the best!

[murray19701]

@JDCUSA correct,simply superb. much made of the music, but not of the lyrics!

[LightBenderKev]

@JDCUSA i guess youve never heard of TOOL! ;)

[xxxjOnEbLaZexxx]

Love the shared mic

[dovesfan1]

been a u2 fan since i was 14, im 32 now, this song as made me cry for all that time every time i listen to it. ahh damn, ive got a snotty nose again!...

[octaaaaaa]

simply beautiful 

[KamAbaki]

15 people are so far away from good music

[viviane0104]

15 pessoas morreram e esqueceram de cair!

[deaconblueuk]

Bono --- God; Edge ---- Archangel Gabriel

[TASC091]

FANTASTIC....I love this song....

[MrPifra]

[JinxImposter]

[boozman5537]

THIS SONG FEELS SO COMPLETE.. EVEN THE ACOUSTIC VERSION!!!

[licotomi]

SO FUCKING GOOD~~~

[DJ4C0]

gibson ?? what ??

[deanilk]

i love u2 concerts... they dont need a chorus, cause everyone in the audience sings to the song

[MegaCRIDO]

Excelente cancion...

[deanilk]

omg.... love it

[angellebron]

i guess only in berlin he sticks to the original lyrics

[jeanfulx]

@angellebron lol!

[RunForCover11]

Thank God there are so many people out there who love this song ... one of the most beautiful they ever wrote but doesn't get much airtime ... Cheers!

[riverlake8]

@RunForCover11 your so its true are you are a christian i am

[joeycm]

finally saw Wings of Desire and its sequel Faraway So Close by Wim Wenders and now I finally understood this song and the original video by U2 of this song...pure genius

[BoxOfAdam]

Anyone have a good tab for this?

[KnightFox18]

@BoxOfAdam just learned it myself.... go to e-chords.com/chords/u2/stay-(f­araway-so-close)-(live-acousti­c-version)

[BartazOZ]

I can't stop listen this version. It should never ends.

[aquanet2]

I was there. The entire show was just as magical! BOSTON LOVES U2!

[robbieb637]

chills down my spine .......................

[clementineflor]

Aqui en Chile en el Tour 360* no tocaron esta canción y la estaba esperando con toda mi soul! but u are still the greatest U2 (L) u are just amazinG!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could stayyyyyy then the night would give u uP!

[ZehPovinho]

Mair u menus

[Marco2003able]

nothing to say, great performance.. I think this should be the best live version of this song

[Mastersabersmen]

From past experience, this song describes the pain I felt. =-/ Great Song. One of my favorite songs to play on acoustic.

[MegaPoone]

@Mastersabersmen Singing it is an emotional high without getting maudlin. Still singing it after more than 20 years.

[Thefaze100963]

Great song. Bono, and The Edge have a very special relationship, which shows through their music.

[RetardedPlums]

ladies and gentlemen, bono

what a guy, what a legend

"consume"

[Azreal677]

3:15 onwards. Best. Chorus. Ever.

[snuffembuzz]

This is truely amazing



[Gabilandia325]

They never play it on their shows, i guess they know that the album version is just the best song in last 30 years

[skwarekable]

@Gabilandia325 Now U2 play Stay at 360 Tour

[Prem26211]

@skwarekable THEY SURE DID ST Loius.

[supimhannah]

@Prem26211 Oh yea that was one of the best concerts ive seen in a long time, killer performance!

[TheFly212]

This should have 100,000,000 views and about 1,000,000 likes because it just that good. Heart and Soul, this band has a lot of both. U2 FTW.

[shareyourpeace]

and i come back to this video every so often and the memories of u2 in concert send chills up my spine and remind me that indeed Bono is the 'soul of the world'. not a god. not perfect. he's honest. he's humble. he cares. and what he does - he does to survive; he does so he can continue to do his work.... God bless you and those closet to you Bono.

sorry about the double posts

[shareyourpeace]

....then Bono bellowed out the opening lyrics. A different form of energy, unidentified, was generated through everyone in a nanosecond and it lasted for over two hours. It was impossible not to move. It was impossible not to sing to the songs and especially the chorus. ....Then the song changed and it was a ballad. Everyone sat down to allow Bono to mesmerize them even further. from 'Kevin My Military Man' version 2010 not 2009 isbn 9780984290499 shanekaelledotcom shareyourpeacedotinfo

[sunnysideoflove]

i love it when he says "stay and the night will be enouoough!" i dont know why, i just love it x

[obviousA]

just had to sing out loud in my four persons office. This performance/song takes control of my body: scary...

[monsterinyourpocket]

I heard that Miles Davis and Joey Ramone both requested U2 albums on their deathbeds. When i hear this, it totally makes sense.

[decenthypocrite]

@monsterinyourpocket maybe thats what finished em off.

nah, only kidding, fan till i die, but i couldnt resist

[seanchristopherfranc]

@decenthypocrite haha...sacrilege

[adamak28]

[madmusiclove]

Heard John Mayer covering one verse of this song, and I had to find it, now i LOVE it!

[alexjoss1]

I used to be able to watch this whole concert on some old cable station (Ovation maybe?). Great concert and this song is one of the highlights--great vocal blend and harmony heaven

[cpa54]

Such an underrated U2 song.

[Betterman89]

Bono Vox: the only man who can hug you just start singing a song

[sherbert500]

@suzenz u2 and guinness ......dont forget the guinness lol

[JackButlers]

[katiamagalhaes1]

[Rogeriorafaelnevesda]

My favorite song!!! 

[TheGinabombina]

Two of the best musicians of the last 30 years.

[DOMINIC211]

@TheGinabombina sorry gina they are great but bruce stole the show at rock and roll hall of fame concerts

[u2MRtheFLY]

this is what makes this band soo special.

i've never witnessed a band that can sound so incredible in the studio but then sound 10X more incredible live.

u2's songs jsut come alive when they're live.

[renatobh09]

Bono... the VOICE!! Beautiful interpretation... I'm looking forward too see U2 overhere in Brazil, April 13th 2011! Miami.... New Orleans... London... Belfast... São Paulo......

[kywomanlml]

I love how the Edge and Bono have been together so long that they can push each other to give absolutely everything they have for the love of a song. Thanks so much for posting this. Classic.

[rach1449]

Great version! Even like it better than the studio version!

[fetishisticrose]

at some camera angles , Bono looks like Bruce Springsteen....wow .. I love you -U2...love this song.

[flaviabono]

I love U2
