[@marzipanmonkey]

Honestly, 'One' is the greatest song they ever wrote. The double meaning in how it kept them together as a band and about how we as people should come together and be as one has never been more important. A gorgeous song which stands the test of time.

U2 has many great songs, but “One” stands apart. It’s timeless; it would be a great song in any era.

[@GamerToday]

It's a drunk singer 😂😂😂😂 and it's obvious. It's a okay written song but it's heavily using Christian music touches to fix it's broken writing. Vocally it starts off super rough asf. These days would have flopped fast autotune near welcome

[@Keykey74]

“All I Want Is You” and “Bad” are the two U2 songs that leave me in tears and back to being 22 years old and in unrequited love for the first time. Their ballads are utterly gorgeous.

[@robertheerbrandt7812]

Jay & Amber.... the most intriguing line in this song is "we GET to carry each other", which is infinitely more meaningful and heartfelt than "we GOT to carry each other" - "get" is privilege and "got" is nothing more than a task. honestly, you both represent and reflect what this song is truly about.

[@stevendoran877]

You say love is a temple, love a higher law Love is a temple, love the higher law You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on to what you got When all you got is hurt To quote Bono " The song is a bit twisted, which is why I could figure out why people want it at their weddings. I tell them Are you mad? Its about splitting up" It's not about hope, it's about resignation

No, that's the most cliché line in any song. It's a good message, but not intriguing. THE MOST INTRIGUING LYRICS AND VERSE in the song is: "LOVE is a temple LOVE the higher law (_repeat 2x_)..." There is no set of lyrics that perfectly suits the melody & Bono's stretched out notes & vocals as well as that unique verse alone.

[@clintjames5671]

“With or Without You” should be your next U2 reaction. Out of all their great songs, this one is my favorite.

[@pattricklewis]

This is, primarily, a breakup song. In fact, this was my divorce song back in 2011. After 23 years, we realized that we "ran a good company" together, but we were not the same. "Did I ask too much? More than a lot? Well you gave me nothin', now that's all I've got". "You say love is a temple... love the higher law. You asked me to enter, and then you made me crawl, and I can't be holding on to what you got... When all you got is hurt". What a song. What a song.

I found this quote and it is about splitting up. “The song is a bit twisted,” Bono explained in Neil McCormick’s U2 By U2, “which is why I could never figure out why people want it at their weddings. I have certainly met a hundred people who’ve had it at their weddings. I tell them, ‘Are you mad? It’s about splitting up!’” I never really listened to the lyrics just enjoyed the vibe.

The Edge is probably one of the best minimalist guitarists. What he plays has a point and meaning and there's no reason to swat a fly with a sledgehammer, so to speak. Check out "With or Without You" next. Heck, check out the whole Joshua Tree album. Cheers....

[@KozmikZootz]

[@redletter2008]

@@AzaleaLala - Zooropa has seemingly been forgotten by many, but it’s still one of my favorite U2 albums. “Stay” and “Lemon” are some of my favorites from that set of songs.

[@thondomain]

"Did you come here for forgiveness, did you come to raise the dead. Did you come to play Jesus... to the lepers in your head." Such a great lyric.

[@stuartmorgan1770]

If I recall, the song is derived from a meeting Bono had with a man dying of AIDS when it was in its early years who challenged the way people thought about / pitied / excluded HIV+ people. In that context, the lyrics take on a whole new dimension eg “You act like you never had love, and you want me to go without” And especially “You say love is a temple, love a higher law. You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl Well, I can’t be holding on to what you’ve got When all you’ve got is hurt” Heartbreaking, attitude-changing, life-shaping words for us at that time.

[@thondomain]

@@stuartmorgan1770 I heard it was about an AIDS victim who was dying and his father. I always pictured the young man in a hospital bed and his father finally coming to visit. I think Bono said it wasn't but it sure fits lyrically. My younger brother died of AIDS and it was horrible watching him wasting away and dying. He wasn't rejected by family but his friends quit coming around, mostly out of fear. He was given contaminated blood after an accident and wasn't gay or a drug user, but there was a perception that all AIDS victims brought it on themselves.

[@stuartmorgan1770]

@@thondomain You may be right about the father. I’m not sure - so long ago, I’d have to research it. I’m so sorry to hear about your brother. And yes, that experience of blame and rejection instead of tolerance and love was so prevalent. BTW there is a really excellent and heart-breaking UK TV drama series called “It’s a Sin” that explores the different reactions of different people to the gay community and AIDS victims in the UK when the disease first emerged It will challenge and break your heart but it is is soooooo good. With this lyric I guess the point was kind of - that is not how we treat people. with, say, cancer. And so “we’re one, but we’re not the same…” I so wish the world could almost go back to that time when we at least tried to listen to each other.

[@christikirk7265]

[@joescott8877]

Bono the lyricist is SO often SO good. I think, though, he wrote some really awful-sounding poem during covid for some occasion. I cringed so hard reading it, lol!

[@stevehamilton8824]

U2 is amazing and this song is so incredible! Bono has a voice that cannot be beat. The emotion in his voice and the lyrics are unmatched.

[@pattyestrada6]

They did a version of this song with Mary J Blige, and I completely love it. She sings with so much emotion, it really makes me feel the song even more.

[@dougdougw]

That version was awful. Her caterwauling completely murdered the subtle beauties and heartbreak lurking within the song and its lyrics. Terrible.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

I agree. To add an extra comment, with a personal opinion.. the Duet Version with Mary J. Blidge is WAYYY better. One of only a few songs.. I enjoy from this band. But..I really appreciate this song's lyrics. I recognize.. the Revised Version would not exist.. without the Original.

[@nadunherath8421]

You must watch u2s live from slane castle version...marry j was decent but..

[@dodgingdurangos924]

You're all wrong. The studio recording that ended up on Mary's album was horrible. However, the original live performance ft. Mary as a guest- the one that led to their official collaboration- was phenomenal. It was an occasional performance by the two done specially for the live Hurricane Katrina Relief telethon. It was truly like going to a gospel church and getting a religious experience. The entire gospel choir was made up of just one woman: Mary J. Blige. KZbin search it. (It's 4min 43seconds) U2's live version at Slane Castle is an incredibly close second, but nothing beats the original version on Achtung Baby!.

[@good4u422]

Most definitely..and I like it better..

[@darkjedi447]

The song is heavily based on the band members going through a tough time together and thinking about breaking up. This song came out of that difficult time and you can feel the pain in the words. In my opinion, one of the best songs...ever! ❤️🎸 Keep smiling 🤘 🙂

When Love Comes To Town is such an underrated gem. Both Edge's and BB's guitar work is sublime.

[@Shrykespeare]

So glad you finally got back to U2! Three songs in, and SO MANY more to go. I think you'd love "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", "Mysterious Ways", or maybe even their duet with the legendary B.B. King, "When Love Comes To Town". Also... any chance you can get back to some INXS? You need to hear "Need You Tonight", "Suicide Blonde", and "The One Thing". Another suggestion - you've done "One" by Metallica, and now "One" by U2.... can you do "One" by the Bee Gees? :)

[@ladyamythyst69]

Definitely gotta hit INXS again. Nobody does funky dance pop that is always original like they do. I Send A Message, Original Sin, Burn For You are some of my faves.

[@LBrobie]

Many phone calls, a rendezvous in Victoria (Texas), many thanks and Houston traffic- we get to the hotel, shower, dress, go!

[@JBG-up6hy]

Interesting fact, the band was going in two different directions at this point in time. They could not agree on the sound moving forward for u2. Bono said that this point in time was the closest they came to splitting up. Then one night in the recording studio, the guitarist - The Edge - showed the rest of the band the riff he had been working on (the gentle one you hear at 6:59). It united the band together, and they have never looked back.

[@jamesscully529]

U2 donated the proceeds from the single version of One to AIDS research. They recorded the song in Berlin and part of the inspiration was the unification of Germany, although the breakup of Edge's first marriage was also said to be an influence. It was not about Bono's own marriage; he and Ali Stewart celebrated their 40th anniversary this year.

Positive or negative, it's always been there and always been right. It's really crazy how it goes both ways based on where you're at. Music is just the best.....

Their collaboration with Mary J. Blige on this song is 🔥

I like this song very much, but the version with Mary J. makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, it is so good.

I’m not a big fan of later U2, but the Joshua Tree album is absolutely a must listen to

[@andrewpatrick9103]

You do realize this song is not from Joshua Tree, right?

The beauty of this song is in the slow build up throughout. Perfection.

[@vandergod]

OMG! This is one of my favorite songs. This song just makes me think of my wife. It’s not that she likes it, it’s not like it’s our song. But the imagery brings your loved ones to heart. Thanks J&A for doing this one tonight. (For you comic book fans, they used the lyrics in the wedding of Cyclops and Marvel Girl. Geek trivia.)

[@louisb5563]

"Pride (In The Name of Love)", "I Will Follow", "Bullet The Blue Sky" "Two Hearts Beat As One", must listen!

Seeing U2 in Dublin is a bucket list item for me. They and INXS are my favorite bands of all time.

[@merlball8520]

For what it's worth: I don't blame you Janet, but if you haven't seen them in the last decade I'd like to warn you that they aren't what they used to be. I've seen them live several times over the years and I'd rather not anymore after the last concert I went to. Everything is off. Idk. Ever since that bike crash in NYC Bono hasn't been the same and the band altogether has lost their energy and spirit. They're still talented, but Bono's voice has dropped off significant and I think they're increasingly using backing tracks for both the vocals and instrumentals. Their stage performances are more gimmicky, and their newer music has taken a dive. Also, they've seemed to have betrayed all they stood for over the years and on stage they tell you their music is about things it was never about before. Then there are breaks in the performance when it gets to be about corporate sponsored charities, and they solicit participation from the audience on the spot. It's hollow and I felt duped for attending the concert. Just my two cents. If you do go, I wish you all the best. Visiting Ireland, whether Dublin or anywhere else, I think you'll have a great time. I highly recommend going to the pubs with live music, especially traditional Irish music. Also, if you're anywhere near the bridges at night in Dublin, keep your eye out for performances on the bridges or on either side of the river. Often there will be dance performances.

[@raeann63]

U2 and tom petty & the heartbreakers were the artists that changed my life. the impact of their music shaped me and took me into a world of emotion, intelligence, passion, history, energy, i could go on and on. i will always be grateful and love them forever ❤

[@DocRock71]

"Bad" is one of U2s best. It is SO good! Bono's vocals will give you chills! That would be a great U2 reaction.

[@richardholguin2564]

One of my favorite rock bands, and another great song, from their large music catalog.

[@Liligal1]

“One” is one of my top 5 U2 songs. The music beat is great but the lyrics are brilliant-“Did you come here for forgiveness? Did you come to raise the dead? Did you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head? Did I ask too much? More than a lot? You gave me nothing now it’s all I got.” Amazing lyrics. Love this song and love this band. I got to see them twice in concert and it was different than just seeing a fantastic live band performance. Seeing U2 back in their heyday was an “EXPERIENCE”! (My younger sister was such a huge fan that she saw them concert 16 times!)

[@chrisgilbert9076]

I was 15 years old and managed to get tickets to the Joshua Tree tour show in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I bunch of kids from my high rented a school bus to drive us and bring us home (more than half of us didn't have our licenses yet!). What an experience...first real concert, and on my own with friends from school! What a night, listening the crowd singing together after the encores ended. The echoes of thousands of voices, still gives me shivers of emotion. One of my favourite and heartbreaking sings by U2 is from Rattle and Hum; "All I want is You". Beautiful and heart rending at the same time, especially the music video.

[@ShannonR1969]

I'm SO HAPPY you reacted to this song, my absolute favorite from U2. And I'm so glad you realized that he's not necessarily talking about a romantic relationship between two people. Back in the 90s, the members of the band were going through some rough waters and they were contemplating breaking up. Bono sat down in the recording studio and sang this song. It re-energized them, and the rest is history. For more great U2, check out "Mysterious Ways" and "Angel of Harlem." Also "The Sweetest Thing" -- be sure to watch the official video! But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their songs. They're an amazing band.

[@rob4121]

Angel of Harlem and Sweetest Thing are excellent choices. But if you want a fun video to watch, look for Where the Streets Have No Name where they play live in downtown LA, if you thought that U2 was hype, this video will show you they were the real deal. Walk On is another good song.

[@joiedevivre2005]

Bono's voice conveys emotion & longing in a way that few singers can match. Combined with the otherworldly guitar prowess of Edge and the amazing talent of the rest of the band make U2 legendary. A few more of their songs I'd suggest include "Pride (In the Name of Love)" (about Dr. King), "Where the Streets Have No Name", "With or Without You", "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", "New Year's Day", "Bullet the Blue Sky", "Seconds", "Ordinary Love", "Bad", "I Will Follow", "Please", "Mysterious Ways", "The Unforgettable Fire", "Breathe", "Until the End of the World", "Desire", "When Love Comes to Town" (with BB King), "Drowning Man", "Sweetest Thing" & "Van Diemen's Land"'... just to name a few (there are so many to choose from).

[@joiedevivre2005]

and speaking of raspy voices - when are y'all gonna do some Dr. John?

[@sedatedape315]

When U2 hit the US, and the world, their music was.... revolutionary. And it was amazingly new. They became the Beatles/Pink Floyd/Rolling Stones/etc for so many people. I remember my first U2 concert. There were nearly 100,000 people at the old JFK stadium in Philly. My brother and I went because none of our friends could make their minds about going, which we ran into when the concert was 1/2 through. The music and atmosphere was totally awesome and peaceful, calm, friendly, and you related to everyone else there because we were feeling/experiencing the same emotions. Yes, please...add some more U2!

[@lann2bme7516]

Oh yesssss!!! Love U2!!! Love the colab with Mary J Blige also.. primo I got to see them 2 nights in a row at sun devil stadium, a lifetime ago, ( i.e. before I ever birthed my grown ass children!). AMAZING!! SO MANY SONGS OF THEIR'S.. CHECK OUT EARLY " I WILL FOLLOW "!!💞💕💗🙌🙌🙌 Also love their song " one tree hill " & of course all the popular ones.. . " Beautiful day ".. so many , many great songs. Elevate!!! Yessss

[@tjrivers]

My personal favorite U2 song…touching with a great melody, and voice! Wow.

[@sirkat344]

You should look at (if there's such on youtube) "Bad" (live) by U2. It really shows Bono's power and just how energetic their shows are. Oh-0 Look it up as a Live Aid performance. Awesome song. :)

[@Tony-B23]

That Live Aid performance was fantastic. There were a bunch of incredible performances that day.

[@rodeo4786]

U2 is a long and amazing rabbit hole. Bono's collaboration with the Celtic band Clannad and the hit once-in-a-lifetime is simply exquisite "

[@jesselobo3213]

I love U2 especially their work from the 70's and 80s. IMO this song and the album "Achtung Baby" are the pinnacle of their work. This album is phenomenal and, in my opinion, just as good if not better than "The Joshua Tree" which is another fantastic album. When "The Eagles" came out with "Hotel California" even they knew that they would never be able to produce anything near as good anymore. And so, I believe U2 either consciously or subconsciously set out to reinvent themselves and went in a direction that had them evolve to stay relevant. Understandable, but Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullin no longer have that raw energy that had a bit of punk, a bit of new wave, some rock, some pop and even some blues infused into their sound. Again, understandable I just wish I could have my cake and eat it too when it comes to music from the great U2.

[@xThisGameRx]

The Fly and Ultraviolet are my favourites of the album. Achtung Baby doesn't have a bad song in it

[@davecardinal6348]

As a Gen-X’er I’ve always felt like U2 was our generation’s version of the Beatles. In so much as, their impact on culture, the music of their day and the influence they had on some bands that came after them. For many of us they provided the soundtrack for that time in our lives. Also, they were one of the last bands where an entire album/CD was experienced. The Beatles also had this kind of experience. From the first song to the last, there was something special about listening to the whole list of songs played in the order they were recorded. That has been lost in music for some time now.

[@paulobrien9572]

You have to do them live. I would highly recommend All I Want is you/Where the streets have no name Live at Slane Castle 2001. When Bono starts keening for his father in the transition between songs whose funeral he attended earlier that day is chilling.

[@hasinurrahman4952]
