Assiste clip original

[@c.s.m.k5737]

Such poetry mingled with pristine instrumentation and that powerful voice......Rock Perfection!

[@davidwolf4677]

Edge is a very unique guitarist - brilliant use of syncopated delay effects. You know it’s him when you hear it.

[@User58747]

Dude I'm 62 and I LOVE your reaction!!!! These are the songs that made U2 one of the greatest Rock bands ever.

[@XFLexiconMatt]

I remember when the album "The Unforgettable Fire" came out in 1984, yes, I am dating myself, a great collaboration between the band and Producer Brian Eno, the song was about Dr. King. Loved the chords in the middle.

[@chrisjenkins6120]

The lyrics will make the hair stand up on your arms. Give you chills. I suggest their album “Joshua Tree”.☮️☮️

[@steveowens2505]

I remember them playing this on Pop Mart tour and seeing a black cop in security watching a predominantly white crowd celebrating song with video images of MLK, and wondering what he thought of what he was seeing and hearing.

[@philipdickey6460]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the line betrayed with a kiss referring to when Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus

[@lauraallen55]

Yes, it was! The lyrics aren't only about MLK Jr. but rather several across history.

[@kurtl3011]

The great Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders sings backup on this track.

[@natmanprime4295]

no way!!! r u kidding

[@shortaybrown]

Where, must be the very end of the song. I can barely hear her. Maybe that’s good because her voice blends seamlessly with Bono’s

[@bminturn]

I have probably heard this song 1000+ times, but it was fun to watch your reaction. Keep it up.

[@briankuczynski4375]

The older, the more rock sound. The albums Boy, October, and War are my favorites.

[@matthewcraig8926]

Listen to "Drowning Man" if you get the chance.

[@SF_Bud]

Here is which persons are meant (courtesy of @curtisthomas2670 ): "One man caught on a barbed wire fence" - Dietrich Bonhoeffer - anti-Nazi German dissident "One man he resist" - Mahatma Ghandi "One man washed on an empty beach" - Roger Casement - an Irish revolutionary who was betrayed by the Germans shortly before the Irish Eastern Rising of 1916. He was left on a beach, too sick to travel and was caught by the English who executed him after a controversial trial. "One man betrayed with a kiss" - Jesus betrayed by Judas " One man to overthrow" - Malcolm X And of course the third verse is about MLK Jr. Peace from SF

[@natmanprime4295]

wow

[@justinhoskins5458]

So glad you are enjoying U2. My favourite band of all time and songs that saved my life.

[@robinconcannon4345]

Great reaction Silas 🎉❤

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Other songs of U2 to check out: Ultraviolet (Light My Way), Every Breaking Wave, Zoo Station, The Fly, New Year's Day, Vertigo, So Cruel, Angel of Harlem, Night and Day, Lemon. That can get you started!

[@aarongrooms3558]

...stay faraway so close, if God will send his angels, exit,when I look at the world, moment of surrender...list goes on and on

[@TheFilmsPodcast]

Can't get enough of the U2 reactions!

[@LuddyVonBeat]

The early albums, War and Boy are epic!

[@flubblert]

This song is about MLK. Welcome to Black History Month. Nice timing. "New Year's Day" by U2 next. 👍

[@Gekokujo76]

Im not a HUGE U2 fan, but have always enjoyed this song. Another you should check out is "All I Want Is You" which is both their best song AND most underrated.

[@79BlackRose]

He's already done it.

[@kayleighmoran]

Go on darling. When I was your age, like 35 years ago now, I listend to that song, after buying the record.

[@nimboestrato]

Best band ever! Pride is a great song of 1984. 'Where the Streets Have no Name' the next one, man!

[@lauraallen55]

Or anything from your avatar lol

[@nimboestrato]

@@lauraallen55 Best album ever ;)

[@lauraallen55]

It sure is! I've kept an older car partially for the CD player so I can play that thing endlessly lol!@@nimboestrato

[@heconelove5854]

Dude why haven’t you reacted to the entire Joshua tree album, I promise you it’s one of the best albums of all time. I promise you it will be a gift.

[@JacobBailey]

I have strong memories surrounding this music. U2 is generally too soft and pop based for my liking, but I find great value in the lyrics.👍

[@tammyy155]

Running to stand still is a great u2 song - imo it’s their second best after with or without u

[@Hortonfantastic4]

This is old, but. Rattle and Hum. It’s a live movie version of all their songs. It’s beautiful and moving and you could break it up into sections. You’ll know them as you watch

[@TheFilmsPodcast]

It'll take years to get through the U2 catalog. They've put out tons of great music. I'd recommend "Stay (Faraway, So Close)" or "Running to Stand Still" for a future reaction.

[@aarongrooms3558]

Running to a standstill still/streets have no name from zoo tv tour in Sydney

[@TheFilmsPodcast]

agreed Aaron, that is an excellent option!

[@chrisbarlow2131]

Silas! Check out their debut album Boy. It will blow you away.

[@johnnyfoe707]

Hey Silas. Always enjoy your reactions, I really think it’s time for some more Tool. There are many that you could start back with but I think you’d really like, ‘Right in Two”. Hope all is well there in Indy.

[@epongeverte]

Angel of Harlem is my fav by U2.

[@aarongrooms3558]

Now, fir something completely different- U2 song Zooropa, ir Please live at the mtv awards. Enjoy your exuberance in your reactions.

[@intelligentfringe]

You’re gonna hafta look up some live recordings.

[@markgarrity]

The next step is Belfast Child by Simple Minds.

[@jdice6868]

Check out Bad, and I recommend the Live Aid version.

[@isadona59]

Hi, Silas. Great song. I have heard a band that I don.'t know Tool. They are very good, really good. Pneuma, Vicarious or Schism to star...(the videos blow my mind)

[@ericwilliams1031]

There's all the earlier Pink Floyd stuff. You should start with "Atom Heart Mother" and work your way back to "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn"

[@christinadiane4257]

Keep rocking, U2 in God's country

[@swampfizz]

MLK

[@PaulAtkinson-u7h]

The most annoying reaction I've seen so far 😂
