FIRST TIME HEARING U2 ONE REACTION

[@cookypuss8603]

This song is a masterpiece.

[@kerrypapworth1526]

cookypuss / I agree, have you heard the version where U2 sing this together with Mary Jane Bligh?

[@cookypuss8603]

@@kerrypapworth1526 I love the Mary J version she kills it but still love the original more.

[@sarahcampbell8819]

100% AGREE WITH YOU cookypuss !!!!

[@dialecticalmonist3405]

Yes, but that's basically all of their songs.

[@sandromauro3083]

Exactly!!! 😍🎧💕

[@patriciarp9686]

Bono's perfect voice in a perfect song by a perfect band. U2 Forever.

[@craigfowler7098]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written,, a masterpiece of art, especially the lyrics.

[@bellaluna321]

U2 is my all time favorite bands..... " he's spewing knowledge" .... That's Bonos lyrical strength right there ❤️

[@wendyweekendgourmet]

This song is PERFECTION...one of my Top 5 all time. Seeing them perform this song live the first time made me cry. So many great U2 songs!

[@CrociatoAzzurro]

U2? Let's Go !!! So many DECADES of music here. You will not regret it. Back in 1991 and 1992 when I was in High School and this song was big, a group of students performed it. Do 'Mysterious Ways' next. Like TONIGHT ! *Javon* , when you react to videos do you have the lyrics in front on you?

[@leannmiller7153]

Love this song! Love U2! I’m 66 and have listened to them since their first album in the late 1970’s. Seen them in concert three times....amazing live shows❤️❤️❤️

[@pa77]

“And I can’t keep holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt” Bono

[@IAmKrow]

Philip A My favorite moment in the song

[@TheMikelleh]

You asked me to enter, but then you made me crawl.

[@kellyreider3460]

This is one of my all time favorite songs.

[@noemidevito8007]

As a hardcore U2 fan, this was awesome to watch. I know the songs and his voice like my own mind and seeing someone listening to both for the first time, wow. And the bit about his voice making you want to listen what he's got to say! Nobody could have said that better! Sometimes i wish i could erase my memories and listen to these songs for the first time. And yes, they write their songs but usually is bono who writes the majority of them. Love that you loved it!

[@darkjedi447]

One of the greatest songs of all time (in my humble opinion). My favorite U2 songs: 5. Where the Streets Have no Name 4. Bad 3. Pride 2. All I Want is You 1. One

[@garrettlink9090]

U2 isn't my favorite band. One is my all time favorite song though. That bass line is super underrated, and there are multiple iconic guitar riffs in the song as well. Wish I could hear this song for the first time all over again. As soon as I heard the opening riff I was like "oh shit."

[@tiacoubrough8135]

What about I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For? 🎶 I have ruuuun through the fields, only to beeee with youuuuu 🎶 come on

[@lanstonmcqueen9688]

Sunday bloody Sunday. The early years. There's a couple of good live videos

[@celenen4429]

SBS gives me chills EVERY SINGLE TIME!

[@timothybessemer7316]

"Where the Streets Have No Name" is a must. It is one of U2's greatest!

[@a.s.2d817]

U2 have some of the most amazing lyrics ever. I've seen people have already suggested some of their hits, I'd like to add Bullet the Blue Sky and the less known Exit, which still gives me goosebumps after so many years. BTW, I truly enjoyed your reaction :)

[@angelapancella6063]

I love seeing folks discovering U2 for the first time! I'd definitely recommend watching a live performance, like the combo of Bad and Where the Streets Have No Name from their 2001 Elevation concert in Boston.

[@thetruthfrommyperspective6688]

I think this is the 5th or 6th reaction in a row I've watched of your's, you pick some fabulous music to react to. I drove 8 hours to see U2 in concert in Chicago years ago, worth every mile driven. I was 12 when they hit the US with their ALBUM "War". I can't even pick a song to react to by them because they span decades and so much to choose from. New Year's Day and 11 O"Clock Tick Tock are the first 2 I recall then came Sunday Bloody Sunday which solidified them here. Beautiful Day, Elevation, Desire, Mysterious Ways, Vertigo, City of Blinding Lights, and Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own are just a handful to choose from lol.

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

U2 is a great group, they have many wonderful songs that I am sure have been recommend by others in their comments. Wonderful reactions from you once again Jayvee, Bono is a wonderful singer/songwriter and can never be underestimated. Thank you for once again playing a fantastic song I have forgotten, God bless you sweetheart. Take care and stay safe please everyone, love and hugs to you all Mary-Ellen UK

[@ben_diedrich]

Check out “Where the streets have no name”

[@timothybessemer7316]

An absolute must!!!

[@Bruni93]

at best, the live version from Slane Castle!!

[@s1d299]

Most overplayed song in their entire catalog, IMO. But obviously opinions vary on that. ;-)

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

You might also like U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" and "New Year's Day."

[@roundrockrock]

Pretty much pick any song at random from the Joshua Tree album and you can't go wrong.

[@SuperEdge67]

roundrockrock . This song isn’t from the Joshua Tree album.

[@catsteinhilb2880]

Amen

[@Pwwh0711]

Or the massively underrated Zooropa or Pop. But yeah their prime years commercially were Joshua & Achtung I love Red Hill Mining Town from The Joshua Tree...it evokes the nostalgia & decay of a once prosperous town, due to economic changes, Bono's powerful & emotive tones are perfect for the lyrics in this song. & Acrobat from Achtung Baby is amazing & unusual in its rhythm So many to choose from but favourite all time U2 song is Stay (Faraway, So Close) - reminds me of someone long gone from my life...

[@stevenjoy3537]

@@Pwwh0711 "Walk On" has the same effect for me. Someone preparing themselves for death

[@Dza231]

This is achung baby from 1991 when they peaked I was a freshman in high school when this album came out and everyone was going zoo tv (tour)crazy

[@CEKCooking]

When Bono sings, he instantly create a big scale of space with height and depth in front of the audience. I would recommend “All I Want Is You” and “With Or Without You Rattle and Hum live version”

[@DesireeStamat]

Shane castle version is incredible as well as he is emoding at 110%.

[@jeftsui8163]

The build up in this song is so epic! It's really subtle so you don't even realize that it's happening. It just flows so beautifully,

[@VanVaper]

U2 is on another plain. Musical genuises. This song is so deep. My favorite song is New Year's day.

[@cheryl398]

I love how you listen deep into the lyrics into all the music you check out! Love love your channel!

[@shannontrough2680]

All of them are good!!! "Beautiful Day"

[@gracechapman3412]

Love that. It's a good message.

[@CousinCreepy]

"Stuck in a Moment" too.

[@allensaunders449]

Try U2 with or without you. . Ambrosia holding on to yesterday. Both great songs from great band's

[@samhain1894]

Allen Saunders love both songs

[@6DogNight]

I saw them live in 1987 for their Joshua Tree Tour. I was 15/16yrs old at the time. Absolutely amazing experience. Lots of great song suggestions of theirs have been shared. Their older stuff though... it was really special. “With or Without You “, “Where the Streets Have No Name”, “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, “(Pride) In the Name I’d Love”. So many awesome songs to choose from!

[@pp36]

All I Want Is You and Heartland are a must, from the Rattle and Hum album. City Of Blinding Lights Beautiful Day Vértigo An incredible live band with a huge catalogue of masterpieces.

[@bearfeet1986]

The entire “achtung baby” album is amazing!!! I literally wore the cassette out on my Sony walkman while walking to and from classes during my undergrad when it came out!

[@dionnecoburn134]

You can't go wrong with U2!! I remember with they first start! Amazing talent!! Stay safe!!

[@hihoktf]

My favorite U2 song is Running to Stand Still.

[@dctbass]

A classic

[@TheMikelleh]

Joshua Tree is loaded with great songs. Also love Running to Stand Still.

[@catbutte4770]

U2 songs to check out: "Angel of Harlem", "New Year's Day", and "Mysterious Ways". They're also great live!

[@lfcgero35]

React to pride in the name of love dedicated to martin luther king. Top tune. Loved the reaction pal. Slainte from ireland.

[@dylans2376]

Streets have no name, Sunday Bloody Sunday, in the name of love, elevation, Beautiful day.... list goes on.... enjoy 💪🏼

[@borklazer]

It’s a song about the band breaking up that ended up becoming about a million more things. Perfectly sums up the human experience. Easily my favorite song of all time.

[@mstewart109]

Omg! The Bono( singer) rabbit hole / U2 band. Such amazing music for gazillion years. Such an amazing singer writer and performer. Also does lots of charity work....more please. The rabbit hole is so long and great

[@tanyamonk1280]

there are SO many GREAT U2 songs, one of them is Red Hill Mining Town. I would love to see that one again :)

[@kevind3986]

Check out "Bad" performed at Live Aid. U2 performance was right up there with Queen that day.

[@UTU49]

I can watch those Queen and U2 performances over and over again.

Get the album, "The Joshua Tree". You'll love it.

Like one of my favorite top 5 songs ever. OUTSTANDING.

[@blondelebanese9922]

‘One’ is my favorite U2 song. It’s so deep, oh my God❣️

[@toddtroll2220]

Their version of 'One' featuring Mary J. Blige is much more better than the original.

[@ben_joven]

One of my fav 90s songs and-as far as lyrics concerned-one of my all time favs ever. An 80s song that also has very moving lyrics you should react to is “This Must Be the Place” by Talking Heads! Different vibe but a very moving price of art.

[@LarchmontLady]

Live Aid U2 “Bad” 💥

[@AndTheRoadGoesEverOn]

EPIC, EPIC, EPIC.

[@Sol3UK]

Live Aid is what got me into U2, leaving my hometown travelling around Europe following U2 and Simple Minds

[@joelliebler5690]

This is ONE of their best, Bono and his buddies knows how to draw you in with his meaningful lyrics and emotional vocals! The rhythm section is awesome too!These a4e their best, you will love U2, With or Without You, I Still Haven’t Found What I Am Looking For,Beautiful Day,Ehere The Streets Have No Name,and my favorite, Sunday Bloody Sunday!

[@elegantirony78]

My favorite band. Soooo many amazing songs

[@anthonyv1719]

In the history of rock music - even if one hates U2 - one of the best ballads of all time.

[@J_Gamble]

Thanks for doing U2! .....Check out GLORIA!...........It's often overlooked----one of their very earliest hits here..........and the video was a big hit when MTV was still pretty new...............The bandmembers all look so young.

[@Golgi-Gyges]

Watching you is like seeing a kid opening presents on Christmas. Welcome to good music.

Hi J, U2, Pride ( in the name of love ) was where I started and a good place to head, but you can't really go wrong with a lucky dip🎸

Love this band hope you continue to check out more of their music there's a lot of great recommendations in the comments section as always great reaction

[@kerrypapworth1526]

Such an amazing song. The live version of this song together with U2 & Mary Jane Bligh is incredible 💕💕

[@wonder5487]

This was back when they were the greatest band in the world. My favorite songs by them are "All I Want Is You" and "With Or Without You." I love this song and She Moves In Mysterious Ways a ton too.

[@quirkypurple]

This is a love song for the band as they were almost close to breaking up. "We're one, but we're not the same, we get to carry each other, carry each other."

[@Fairy_princess214]

He wrote it for his wife, because they were on the verge of a divorce because of how much he was focusing on the band.

[@dailycoffee8533]

Try "WITH OR WITHOUT YOU", "NEW YEARS DAY", "SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY" YOU WILL BE AMAZED YOU WILL LOVE THEM From U2

[@otisdylan9532]

If you have to start with "One", then does the next one have to be "Two Hearts Beat As One"? I'm kidding. The two U2 songs that I recommend the most are "New Years Day" and "Pride in the Name of Love". The latter is a song about Martin Luther King Jr.

[@mljrotag6343]

Can't go wrong with Sunday Bloody Sunday either.

[@joelliebler5690]

Otis Dylan Great one too!

[@AndTheRoadGoesEverOn]

The live version of Bad from Live Aid.

[@daveingrey2615]

Amazing group. Live version of Still haven’t found what I’m looking for is one of my favorites. Pride, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Beautiful Day, where the streets have no name, 40, Angel of Harlem, New Years Day, Mysterious Ways, Bad.

[@joelliebler5690]

Add New Year’s Day to that list!

[@gloriamaryhaywood2217]

You nailed the interpretation of this song for me!! Yes, Super Toxic relationships can destroy you at your 'core' being!!! "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!!!!!" (Whoa!.....SO Poignant! And yes, he has what I call a 'Cry' in his voice!)

[@brisco1256]

I appreciate your reactions. You not just hearing the music but listening and feeling it. You get it.

[@TheCleo223]

80's U2 is epic! Pride is my favorite. Bono's voice is unbelievable. Was wondering where the U2 was!

[@stevetanner3019]

Tons of deep songs from U2. The thinking mans band, but great hooks too. They started in the late 70’s when they were very young, and became the biggest band in the world during the 80’s and 90’s

[@catsteinhilb2880]

Jay you’re special...keep doing you. Great selection and appreciation...

[@cherylbohlender7341]

That is pretty much my favourite love song ever...that would have to play at my wedding. An awesome 'love gone wrong song' by them would be ' So Cruel ". Also, " All I Want Is You " ..." Angel of Harlem " ...a song about Billie Holliday. He and Edge also wrote " She's a Mystery To Me " that Roy Orbison sang on his last album right before he died. Bono also wrote ' One Shot Happy, One Shot of Sad " for Frank Sinatra but Frank died before he got a chance to sing it. Matt Dusk recorded it...Bono can really write some awesome stuff. The earliest song I heard by U2 up here in Canada was " I Will Follow "..came out in about 1983?

[@motionshadow]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see that I'm late to the U2 party. I'll be mining your channel for more. It's easily one of my new favorites. Cheers!

[@serepluie]

They have been making art for decades, including this decade, you just felt an eternal ray of light, imagine the sun. Their concerts are mind, body and soul blowing. Watch them live, any song, pure connection.

[@stellahumber5792]

So happy you discovered U2, they are going strong from 1980. Thankful I got to see them live 9 times, but truly not enough. If you want more moving songs like One, you will love "All I want is You", "Every breaking Wave" "Drowning Man" " Bad" all powerful. Also very meaningful & powerful is "Bullet the Blue Sky" "Sunday Bloody Sunday" "Pride in the Name of Love" "Seconds" and "Mother's of the Disappeared" Soooo Many Outstanding Songs. Enjoy your ride & journey with U2.

[@PsychoGallagher]

Whether you like the whole buzz around Bono and U2 or not but they just have incredibly good songs. "One" goes even beyond that as it is truly a masterpiece. For me, it shows as to what humans are capable of in terms of globally unifying music that just stands out of the rest. It's so raw, honest, and heartfelt in its message. Really fantastic song and I'm not surprised that you resonate so much with it. 🌍

[@wrighthowell9801]

This song is all time-great. The whole album is amazing. Achtung Baby is a masterclass on how a musical act can reinvent itself.

[@kensyskye8965]

In the 80s my three sisters and I would go to this great club, where they would play massive hits extra loud with base! Those were the days.... Please react to ‘Alive and Kicking’ Simple Minds, it’s amazing.....You’ll love it! ✌🏻🙏🏼🤘🏼

[@Matt-jj5po]

"We get to carry each other... sisters, brothers" great message to most of people

[@lynnarthur_stillkickin2024]

With Or Without You and Sunday Bloody Sunday. Saw them live in Los Angeles early 80s. Bono was electrifying 🤩

“Pride (In The Name Of Love)”

My favourite song of all time, I have listened to this basically everyday (and often more than once per day) since it’s released. This song will be played at my funeral.

[@moviebuff5588]

[@therealcarter1353]

U2 were EPIC when I was growing up bud 💯

[@wrldchamps04]

GREAT song that is known as "the song that saved the band"☘️....

[@88wildcat]

Everyone has already mentioned the big hit songs of theirs but if you want to go deep into their catalog here is some of their best stuff that didn't get released as a single. One Tree Hill, Bad, Until the End of the World, Running to Stand Still, A Sort of Homecoming, The Unforgettable Fire, All I Want is You, God Part II, and When Love Comes to Town (with B.B. King). Also there is another version of this song where Mary J. Blige sings with them that honestly makes this version sound like a demo.

[@veeho14]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for sharing your reaction. I would listen to the entire Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby albums.

[@muralidharanj2857]

"One" is a song by Irish rock band U2. It is the third track from their 1991 album Achtung Baby, and it was released as the record's third single in February 1992.

[@Dude-etiquette]

Also the Mary J blige version from the Nobel prize concert is amazing. Only she and U2 can pull off this song with so much emotion.

[@luattack123]

Now you go right to one of best! I have not one but a lot fave songs, and I don't think people know, Luminous Times, Acrobat, Drowning Man, Stay, Kite (deep one), Bad, Elvis Presley in America, the list goes on...

[@melaniefletcher3856]

This ,and With or without you are my fave U2 tracks 😍

[@mikecaetano]

"One" marked a return to form for U2. Mary J. Blige recorded a version of this song back in 2006 with U2 backing her up. She tore the roof off of the house when they performed it together at the Grammy's that year. Quick list of songs from U2 to check out: "Where The Streets Have No Name," "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," "New Year's Day," "Two Hearts Beat As One," "Bullet the Blue Sky (Rattle & Hum)"

[@ericwillison1389]

"All I Want is You" is a song about Bono's wife whom he met while they were in high school. The version below is visually set to pictures of the two of them over the years. That woman somehow wakes up every morning better looking than the day before. No wonder all he wants is her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/homYaJyZZd2UmKM if you want to react to it.

[@SconnieTradition]

U2 has so many greats song...Where the streets have no name.....I Still haven't found what Im looking for...… With or Without You are three songs I would suggest. All are amazing.

[@SconnieTradition]

Pride in the name of love would be another
