U2 - The Edge Running To Stand Still (Acoustic Version)

[@chains84]

"I don't sing", and then proceeds to melt my ears with his sweet melodic voice.

[@rodrigoamaral1526]

The Edge is an underrated genius on guitar with such creativity and a great voice.

[@murraybarker1948]

My favorite U2 song of all time!

[@musiclove4635]

Edge has an angelic voice

[@ericgibson8796]

It's the reason I call music the language of eternity. When all is said and done...the Angels will sing!

[@flamingodragon7138]

Ikr. When he said he doesn’t sing that threw me

[@poemsandplaypieces]

"I don't sing". Enough of that nonsense fella. This is a sublime performance. Beautiful.

[@annettedunlap4600]

One of my favorites. Great job the Edge

[@christianevangelista]

It always amazes me how similar The Edge and Bono's voices are.

[@neilpeartspurplenose8739]

It was meant to be...

[@booishoois309]

Sounds more like George Harrison to me.

[@ultraviolet6989]

Decades of listening to Bono sing will do that.

[@carlosvl8296]

Well they are complementary, but many years beside Bono listening to him..😅

[@VinylSpotlight77]

Hes the best musician in the last 40 years.

[@mikehansenfamily]

Ladies and gentlemen . . . the Architect and Engineer of the U2 sound.

[@arnauddelaporte1837]

Rien de plus beau à écouter je crois ! David Evans est le maître de U2

[@arnauddelaporte1837]

J adore votre commentaire

[@zooropaforever]

U2 have a body which is made by Larry and Adam. A heart which is Bono. And a brain which is Edge.

[@ericmartin1635]

All Irish people sing...so true ! Beautiful country, beautiful people. Edge is a genius. So simple, so talented, so beautiful. His sound and his music are gifts. Purity of his voice, unforgettable and powerful arpeggios. Kisses from France

[@PsychicPhilosopher]

Technically, Edge is Welsh. He was born in England to Welsh parents.

[@dannydarko371]

He wasn’t lying! Don’t give up the day job Mr Edge

[@bruceatwell6031]

Meh.

[@CDmusic10]

​@bruceatwell6031 Yes, you are "meh".

[@RobinRawlings-mr5du]

Amen 😢😂😅❤

[@Piotr_Majchrzak]

When I was in primary school, The Joshua Tree vinyl came to my hand and it was one of the best things that happened in my life.

[@Rose-mi6kt]

I love this. I love The Edge's humility, his talent and his loyalty.

3:24 is why there will never be another Edge in our lifetimes.

[@garyjones980]

I think most people would be surprised if they knew exactly how much Edge actually sings on most albums. Great talent..

[@analogman9697]

I wish I could "not sing" that well. What a skilled musician!

[@shaunbarnett2972]

The Edge will have an absolutely incredible solo career right up until the end if, God forbid, U2 were to ever disband. He's a musical genius no question.

[@jfr1612_]

Edge is a genius . Can't read music but has all the U2 songs in his head. He could makexa song from anything. Beautiful voice. ❤❤❤

[@ShortyTW867]

Edge is truly a genius

[@jeremymarshall4876]

I don't sing he says. He's got a certain haunting feeling about him. Edge keeps it real. Does anyone miss U2 from the Joshua Tree/Rattle and Hum days? When the songs and performances touched your soul...

[@roybollo6659]

joshua tree the best album !!

[@gordpedersen543]

@Jeremy Marshall Songs of Innocence is pretty good album also. But Joshua Tree is my favourite.

[@TommyRibs]

One of the great songs they have ever done. It was never a “hit” but is a better song then many of their great, legitimate “hit” songs.

[@gesundheit602]

Edge has a great voice. One of my favorite U2 songs is Van Diemen’s Land, which I’m pretty sure he sings lead on.

[@brianaugello3724]

He does

[@harlowethrombey7665]

He sang lead on ‘Seconds’ and sang Sunday Bloody Sunday on the PopMart tour. He should do a solo album at some point.

[@gesundheit602]

@@harlowethrombey7665 Seconds is a great song! Haven’t thought about it in a long time. I wore out the cassette of that War album many times back in the day. 🙂

[@jaygohel1657]

This amazing man has no ego. Pure talent

[@steveacevedo820]

He's the heart and soul of U2.

[@elijahrivera7290]

Yes, if you look you will see that he has composed alot of their songs. He has a beautiful voice and should sing more in the band.

[@patrickpezzatini9111]

Total respect... The soul of U2!

[@georgestelmach1354]

it hit's my soul, absolutely!!! yeah:)

[@emilysabourin9078]

Watching Edge perform is just mesmerizing

[@SmokinZen]

My favorite guitarist of all time magical

[@davidgraham8299]

You could always tell the man could sing just from his backing vocals, but jeez, Edge if you ever decide to do a solo album I'd definitely be interested in hearing it.

[@nicholascb64]

He has a solo album entitled "Captive"

[@italoazurro7351]

love the Edge love u2 for ever

[@ClaribelBo]

Men like this are extinct now in days! He doesn't just make music, he IS music! I love the Edge! I love U2!

[@austinduran3557]

new musicians will take clues from the legends

[@gabopalacios2028]

Edge is so humble. Actually, as far as I know, Edge used to sing and he has such an amazing voice. When he sings Sunday Bloody Sunday I can feel a spark hitting my spine and my chest

[@avh9394]

OMG, that was AWESOME, one of my favourite songs! The Edge killed it!

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

I knew The Edge had a lovely voice from hearing him sing backing vocals, but my god this is gorgeous. I think I'm even more in love with this song now... both versions.

[@brianhendrie9466]

He sang Numb and Van Diemen's land from Zooropa and Rattle and Hum respectively.

[@iggypopisgod9]

One of u2s best, off of arguably their best lp. Magic

[@Myk1304]

Would be amazing if this acoustic version, with the Edge singing, was included on the next world tour...and it's an Achtung Baby 30th anniversary tour!

[@evandrovantigoncalves1521]

The Edge's musical ear and a lifetime of listening to Bono's voice did it

[@danielsmith2770]

Very underrated singer

[@vitterpup]

Edge has always had an amazing voice. If Bono can’t do it anymore for any reason then Edge can. Oh he so can.

[@charlylarrart8469]

Great version. The edge is the soul of u2

[@Ed30675]

I say he is more than the soul of the band.... i add he is the technician, the genius and the scientist... every band has at least one, he is that one.... but collectively they are so good together....

[@jodiecridlebaugh9910]

What is SO BEAUTIFUL.. he is self taught ... Built his own guitars .. And he is a humble soul💙

[@anthonyjourneymusic]

Thank you Edge for showing us how to play this song unplugged. Excellent job.

[@racey1979]

Whilst edge might not be be best technical guitarist in the world, he's one of the greatest artists, who proves time and time again that less is often more. He's the backbone of U2 in my opinion.

[@38thfoot]

Jimmy Page described him as a “sonic genius”.

[@lindasafley4794]

The Edge is awesome. What a talented man. God Bless you, your band, Bono, all of U2. I love EDGE. LINDA

[@DrakoMTP]

Eres un poeta de la guitarra Eres el corazón de U2... eres la melodía de U2... mueves al mundo con tu música

[@artemis5168]

An artist out of their element, singing a song of loss with nothing but passion, and nailing it. Nothing to protest or fault here.

[@cathyp6788]

If I could hit "thumbs up" every time I listen to this.........I love it so.

[@rickroll9086]

This is why U2’s harmonies are so great, although little noticed or credited. Edge is singing background harmony on so many of their songs.

[@josteinatlejrgensen6962]

- Denne versjonen traff meg rett i hjertet. - This version hit me right in the heart.

[@NiueanHoney]

The beautiful emotional tones this guy and u2 give…

[@kellyrobtoy7399]

Such an underrated Guitarist and harmony vocalist. Edge is just cool.

[@sheagoff6009]

I could listen to that guitar riff all day long

[@darrenvox]

It lives rent free In my head

[@u2phreak]

Edge, Bono, Larry & Adam - Sirs, thank you for writing this song. You are angels sent from heaven and vessels of this divine song. The vibrations that emanate from this song lifts me up to God and His divine power. I was 16 when I first heard this song and it gave me so much hope. I first heard "a la la de day" as "I have a lot of days" and the power that that phrase gave me is beyond words... The most beautiful lyrics of hope ever written can be found in this song. I'm in my 40s now and this still moves me to my core. ❤💛❤🧡❤💛❤ Thank you from the bottom of my heart.🦄🤍

[@rebeccaprox7389]

I still come back to this. Edge, you ARE a singer. This is so beautiful.

[@thomredlich6813]

I had literally tears in my eyes, at the first verse when The Edge began to sing. He have such a nice, warm and beautiful voice. Just like Bono.. I was already fan by hearing this song!

[@NiueanHoney]

Music runs through this man’s veins!! The control in his voice… the vocals didn’t disappoint because I love Bono’s so much… Beautiful!! I would love to sing my heart out with an Irish..

[@francoisdubois80]

While I enjoy and appreciate Bono's vocalization, I have always felt (going back to the 70s, that Edge had more subtle range and control. That may very well come from the unbridled passion that Bono has driving his voice ... no criticisms here BTW

[@NiueanHoney]

@@francoisdubois80 He does!! You are right!! You can see that in Van diemens land…

[@Risingphoenixx66]

I fell in love instantely with U2 when i was 17 . I heard I will follow and i was sold. I,m 54 yewrs of age now and still love U2 . Since i,m incognito here i might as well confess that i have a crush on Bono since then☺️.!

Listened to David play for 30 years. Really love how the technician/magician comes out just a little more each time I hear him play. It like a little soul coming out to play! Great job as always.

This loop is so beautiful!

[@redsidebiker]

I first the Band play this in 1989 on 31st Dec going into 1990. The concert was broadcast on Radio 1 in the UK. They intertwined it with "Dirty Old Town" which is an old Manchester song. I digress. I write lyrics of songs that are important to me on paper and put them up in my office. I don't read the lyrics off the sleeves, I just do it by listening. This in 1990 was the very first one (from the night before). Took me about 2 days and a lot of paper to get it right.

Dave you know - you and the band - are beyond special. Have been with you guys since October. Back in the day - you guys always said - we don't want to be - play the record and instant wow success - God has blessed the 4 beyond measure - and I am so - not just a fan but a fellow brother - whom you may never meet now - but that's okay - just know how special the 4 are - how they conquered the world - how they honored the Father always.
