25 years later, this song & album still moves me with emotion. I read the book about Red Hill interviewing the miners & their challenges, it was eye-opening. There's a bit too much focus on smouldering looks in this vid... kinda embarrassing to watch, now Bono is more composed than posing... hehe
@saranold the problem was with U2. They said the video was shite. It's like a bad (no pun intended) John woo film with the bloody birds. U2 did the right thing burying this for 20 years. Pity it wasn't longer. Where's big pit when you need it.
such a beautiful video. There was some issue with it at the time; I can't remember exactly what, but someone had an issue with it...I don't know if it was Anton Corbijn or U2 who had the issue, but in any event, I don't see the problem, it is just a lovely, timeless work. I cry every time. The grainy old coal-miner footage, the canaries in slow-motion flight, it's just heartbreaking. I don't find it too literal at all, just simple and poignant. Very intense and very desperate and sad.
i think red hill was supposed to be the the second single from joshua tree instead of i still havent found.....
this is a soul song for me, it is always exciting with signers that push themselves, that are not afraid of reaching higher...that makes great singing...

There is no such thing as clean COAL. You hugger of ancient trees !!!!! Something funny happened tonight ; I truly am no longer affraid. what are they gonna` do? Kill us?
And to think! Larry Mullen Jr started this rock band and named it U2 because it would look cool on a poster! How right he was. What an amazing effect they've had on rock 'n roll, on world opinion and pop culture. Love those guys in U2!
should've stuck to the vintage footage. The mistake here is trying to make the band act. too much light in a mine...way too many artistic issues..but at the time that was par for the course for many bands. Rattle n' Hum cured them of this mistake. Great song. terrible video.
@johnnytwentythree I agree it is abit all topgun for me too lol, still nothing to fear eh you are what you are and you like what you line. Just needed a little sweat and standing a little further from white t shirt Mullen...lol right im off to watch the ball game whilst I spit in my spatoon.
alcohol is puur lekker biertje jy wiet is ook natural maar teveel is als valium addicted mooie song hou jy van u2 ik zou listen ,ik,weet,soms,niet,of,jy,wel,leuk,vind,met,my,zoveel,pc,can,t,breathe,zit erby mooie list dus waiting for me ja ik ben ook onzeker
Bono, Edge, and Adam are some lazy bastards... Larry is the only one working, Edge and Adam get rid of a few pesky birds but other than that they're slackers.... One of those videos they probably look back at and say "what were we thinking, but it could be worse, we could have hired the guy that scripted Culture Club's videos"
this is the first time I listen to this song since I was probably four years old. U2 was my first favourit band at that time and this was always one of my favourit songs. So beautiful, I just had to cry :')
WOW. 1st U2 album I ever bought. Never seen the clip before but its a gem . That guitar could cut a hole through a tornado!! Rock on . This is magic. " We Scorch the earth , set fire to the sky we wait all day for the night to come and it does. " Classic structure.
This is obviously not live, in Paris or anywhere else. According to U2gigs.com this song has never been performed live, the closest being several sound checks in late '87.
The band reportedly has never been happy with the song about the 1984 Nat'l Union of Mineworkers Strike, with drummer Larry Mullen calling it, "over-produced and under-written."
I'm no musician, but both the lyrics and music sound great to me.
with out a doubt they have to perform this for the first time ever in Tennesse this summer for the concert!!!! they re hearsed it back in 87 at a soundcheck in Tennesse THE ULTIMATE JOSHUA GEM!!!!!!!
I love this song always have...... and as for bono being gay! yeah right.......can everyone stop demorolising U2 they r one of the best bands live ever and I have seen them 4 times.they are brilliant... and i love them.......by the way im irish but live in the uk. u2 rock
What's this "gay video" nonsense? Ever work a hard-physical-labor job in a hot place? You have to strip down to stay as cool as possible. And it's usually all men, since they tend to be stronger than women. What's not authentic in this video is Bono & the boys going into a coal mine, or a set, to shoot the video - they don't have to pantomime coal miners, that's self-regarding, they should just continue to show the real B&W film - shots of the band playing on a stage would be more respectful
I never saw this song or video as gay. I thought it was the opposite, actually. Like, it's just raw emotion with a grunge appeal and it's him pining for someone he misses because he's stuck in a mine with a bunch of guys
@lamps08cfc I bed to differ . .They OPENED with this song on the Love Town tour in Australia in the early 90's.. Was not a tribute band that played the Sydney Entertainment Center that night. Mind you, they also said they would not play One Tree Hill live when the Joshua Tree was released because it was too personal etc. They played it as well at that gig.
@wonsworld Love Town Tour (see Rattle & Hum) concluded in Dublin on New Years Eve 1989 to "dream it all up again" in the 90's. Ready for what's next? etc.
This one of my all time favorites by U2. Adam's bass on this particular song is absolutely mesmerizing! Play this loud with the subwoofer on high and you can feel the bass just thump your chest! Brilliant!!!
It really sucks that they never played this live. Probably one of their best songs ever and certainly the best one on the album. Bono, just wear tighter underwear! You can hit the high notes..
I can remember this song when it first came out. I had left home, quit high school and was sitting depressed in my dinky rathole apartment bedroom. I was blown away and immediately felt alive again. Thank God for U2! I don't care how many albums and super rock starred out they get I will love them 'til the day I die.
@beachplum98 you are so right with what you said. U2's music has always lived within me and has supported my will through so much in life. I am so thankful for their talent and everything they have given the rest of us.
@crichard8 This song was actually supposed to be released as a single (hence why they made a video for it), but they decided not to because Bono was literally killing his voice singing the higher notes for it. If they had released it as a single, they would have had to perform it every night at every live show when they were touring, and they didn't want to risk Bono ruining his voice.
@crichard8 Exactly... sadly, they have actually never performed this song live. You can even hear Bono straining in the studio recording. He's still amazing, though, and I think the straining emphasizes even more emotion in the song.
I love the video... can someone please explain why they are with those birds... anyway if the video didnt see "the light" was because just the HUGE fans will appreciate it The other people that were not fans were going to make silly comments,hey just like some of you.And for the people that HATE the video,just back off .Seriously if you hate U2 ,DONT WATCH IT over and over again,cuz you dont want to mess with us U2 fans:D Dont waste your time seeing something you know you are going to dislike..
@kukukatua "can someone please explain why they are with those birds"
You mean the Canaries? In the past, Miners would take them down because the canaries could detect lethal gas and if the canary died that would be a sign for the miners to get out quickly.
Umm... I'm trying valiantly to remain deep and profound here (this being my one of my faves) but what is it about... sweaty men?? HAHA. :P I love U2. :))
I think I'm going to be sick (regarding the homo comments). I don't know any of them personally, and I'm not seeking to, but I am certainly willing to bet 100 of (choose someones currency) that Bono is not a homosexual. For crying out loud people. I don't want to puke when I search for good 80's music. Now that I got that off my plate - AWESOME tune!
One of U2s best songs. I think i love this song so much because i don't hear it as often as the rest. And when i do... its like a thunderbolt. Outstanding song writing!
Nifty. All these years and I had no idea the band put out a vid for this tune. One of the finer tracks after #'s 1 to 4, which are predictable and overplayed. Far as I'm concerned, the album doesn't really start to get interesting until after Bullet The Blue Sky. Even today, I skip right to track#5.
It's a win situation - the video wasn't released cause it's not that good to work for those who are not the U2 fans but nowadays it feels like a great present for the true fans. I personally love both the video and the song. It's the most out-of place Joshua tree track in my opinion, it makes me think of heaven rather than deserts and the coal-mines!
"our love runs cold, in the caverns of the night.."
"I can't lose my self, you I can't live without.."
Lovely, I've never seen this clip before but I've been admiring this song since long a go, they're much younger here but they're just like wine, the older the better :)
go on bonz be a saint ole cobber and play it at mt smart. you've arrived at the right time. you can help heal new zealand you can release us from our pain brother...this clip is spiritual stuff especialy when adam releases the canaries. dunno who i feel for more for tho, them or larry.
Oh, that really moves me that Chilean people listened to this when waiting for their miners. Thank God for their safe rescue. Such a moving song, in any context.

Cuando escuche esta cancion por primera vez no entendia bien el ingles, sin embargo me transmitia un sentimiento dificil de explicar, Hoy en dia creo que la cancion es maravillosa, ahora entiendo el ingles y el sentimiento sigue siendo muy especial. Es una de mis canciones favorita de U2.
The fist time i listened this song i didn´t undesrtand english, but made feel many things that i could not explain. This song it´s wonderful, the feeling its so havy. It´s one of my favorite songs u2.
I don't get why people diss this video. It has a very cinematic quality to it which makes sense since its done by Neil Jordan. People are just jealous because Bono is all man-candy and sweaty. Don't hate. Appreciate.
@tingmay you don't see any homo-erotic overtones in Bono's actions throughout the video...it is a great Joshua Tree track but this video is gay, unimaginative and pulled together with no creativity whatsoever...the vocals are strong, the video is queer.
@CathyJohn747 Come on we're adults here. You don't have to use 'gay' and 'queer' as pejoratives to describe the video. So what if you happen to see homo-erotic undertones? Maybe that's what makes it intriguing and wholly different from any of their other videos. Or maybe its because Bono is all sweaty and man-candy and its highly unexpected because they had that pious above the fray thing going on at the time (1987-ish) Enjoy it! It's a beautiful song and fun video.
Bono is H-O-T. Not too sure about the use of all those birds though.

@beachplum98 you are so right with what you said. U2's music has always lived within me and has supported my will through so much in life. I am so thankful for their talent and everything they have given the rest of us.

@crichard8 This song was actually supposed to be released as a single (hence why they made a video for it), but they decided not to because Bono was literally killing his voice singing the higher notes for it. If they had released it as a single, they would have had to perform it every night at every live show when they were touring, and they didn't want to risk Bono ruining his voice.

@ArielHewitt that also explains why i cant find live versions
crichard8 11 months ago
@crichard8 Exactly... sadly, they have actually never performed this song live. You can even hear Bono straining in the studio recording. He's still amazing, though, and I think the straining emphasizes even more emotion in the song.

I love the video... can someone please explain why they are with those birds... anyway if the video didnt see "the light" was because just the HUGE fans will appreciate it The other people that were not fans were going to make silly comments,hey just like some of you.And for the people that HATE the video,just back off .Seriously if you hate U2 ,DONT WATCH IT over and over again,cuz you dont want to mess with us U2 fans:D Dont waste your time seeing something you know you are going to dislike..

@kukukatua "can someone please explain why they are with those birds"
You mean the Canaries? In the past, Miners would take them down because the canaries could detect lethal gas and if the canary died that would be a sign for the miners to get out quickly.

I think I'm going to be sick (regarding the homo comments). I don't know any of them personally, and I'm not seeking to, but I am certainly willing to bet 100 of (choose someones currency) that Bono is not a homosexual. For crying out loud people. I don't want to puke when I search for good 80's music. Now that I got that off my plate - AWESOME tune!

One of U2s best songs. I think i love this song so much because i don't hear it as often as the rest. And when i do... its like a thunderbolt. Outstanding song writing!
XxchrisDxX 1 year ago 2
Nifty. All these years and I had no idea the band put out a vid for this tune. One of the finer tracks after #'s 1 to 4, which are predictable and overplayed. Far as I'm concerned, the album doesn't really start to get interesting until after Bullet The Blue Sky. Even today, I skip right to track#5.
gorillabelly1 1 year ago
It's a win situation - the video wasn't released cause it's not that good to work for those who are not the U2 fans but nowadays it feels like a great present for the true fans. I personally love both the video and the song. It's the most out-of place Joshua tree track in my opinion, it makes me think of heaven rather than deserts and the coal-mines!

Cuando escuche esta cancion por primera vez no entendia bien el ingles, sin embargo me transmitia un sentimiento dificil de explicar, Hoy en dia creo que la cancion es maravillosa, ahora entiendo el ingles y el sentimiento sigue siendo muy especial. Es una de mis canciones favorita de U2.

I don't get why people diss this video. It has a very cinematic quality to it which makes sense since its done by Neil Jordan. People are just jealous because Bono is all man-candy and sweaty. Don't hate. Appreciate.
tingmay 1 year ago 98
@tingmay you don't see any homo-erotic overtones in Bono's actions throughout the video...it is a great Joshua Tree track but this video is gay, unimaginative and pulled together with no creativity whatsoever...the vocals are strong, the video is queer.
CathyJohn747 1 year ago
@CathyJohn747 Come on we're adults here. You don't have to use 'gay' and 'queer' as pejoratives to describe the video. So what if you happen to see homo-erotic undertones? Maybe that's what makes it intriguing and wholly different from any of their other videos. Or maybe its because Bono is all sweaty and man-candy and its highly unexpected because they had that pious above the fray thing going on at the time (1987-ish) Enjoy it! It's a beautiful song and fun video.
