I remember buying The Joshua Tree. I had never been a U2 fan before. I listened to it over and over, clearly mesmerized. No matter how many times I listened to it I seemed to get more out of it than the previous time I listened. I talked to my mother about how the music spoke to me. My mother told me about "divine intervention". It stuck. The Joshua Tree was divine intervention. My mother lost her battle with brain cancer December 18,2013. I buried her today. After returning home from the cemetery, I played The Joshua Tree. Red Hill Mining Town reminded me of the lesson my mother had tried to teach me about God's undying love and purpose for loving each other. I needed that today.

From father to son The blood runs thin Ooh, see the faces frozen (still) Against the wind. The seam is split The coal-face cracked The lines are long There's no going back. Through hands of steel And heart of stone Our labour day Has come and gone. They leave me holdin' on In Red Hill Town. See the lights go down on ... Hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to. I'm still waiting I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to. The glass is cut The bottle run dry. Our love runs cold In the caverns of the night. We're wounded by fear Injured in doubt. I can lose myself You I can't live without. Yeah, you keep me holdin' on In Red Hill Town. See the lights go down on… Hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to. I'm still waiting I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to On to. We scorch the earth Set fire to the sky And we stooped so low To reach so high. A link is lost The chain undone. We wait all day For night to come And it comes like a hunter (child). I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to. I'm still waiting I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to. We see love, slowly stripped away Our love has seen its better day. Hangin' on Lights go down on Red Hill The lights go down on Red Hill. The lights go down on Red Hill. The lights go down on Red Hill Town

He's not perfect but he's definitely on the good side of average. U2 rules!

way back in the day...most of the members were church goers but that particular following (sect) were pressuring the newly formed band to either choose the church or rock-n-roll. I have a Christian friend who pointed out so many "angles" that can be taken as a Christian meaning/symbolism in many, MANY u2 songs. I even remember some writer who in a book reported that the band chose to go out and preach via the music to those who have not heard (also in scriptures) as opposed to staying in the church which is full of those who "have heard."

I must mention that though they are claiming "all" of the songs, remember the have re-mastered them. Maybe a slight "re-mix" of the songs we have come to know? I have seen them play live over 60 times and have heard/watched "Streets..." played each one of those times. So I am curious of how this will be for this tour. Catching them in YVR and DUB. Vancouver for the opener and making the pilgrimage to Croake Park in Dublin.

Bono's voice is absolutely amazing in this song as his voice always was back in the 80s not that he's a bad singer still, he still sounds very good for someone of his age and you can still instantly recognise his voice when he sings. With regards to what this song was about I believe it was about the English mining towns of the midlands and northern England and how they suffered when that cold hearted witch Maggie Thatcher closed them down and how the communities were ripped apart by it, even today a lot of these towns have still not recovered from it and people are still feeling the effects of what that nasty woman did to their towns and communities!

I'm perplexed by people hating on the video. It's 100% in sync with what the song is about and I can't see what's wrong with it, asthetically or thematically. In fact I think it fits the song perfectly. The Soviet-era Realist styling, the canary-in-a-coal-mine reference. The song is about Thatcher's assault on the livelihood of Welsh miners. Do people want some completely irrelevant pop video to accompany the song?

It was actually wrote about the mines in the midlands and northern England being closed down and how it ripped the communities apart.

I had this on a tape when it came out. My favorite memories of my teen years was blasting down the highway in my trusty Jeep with The Joshua Tree playing. I still listen to this on CD today. Definitely one of the greatest albums of the 80s.

In loving memory of the 29 miners who lost their lives at the pike river mine. Great decision not to permanently seal the mine. Maybe one day we can bring the boys home and give them the burial they deserve. RIP the pike river 29.

I bought the album on cassette in college and played it in my first car Alpine speakers and a 40 watt power booster made those windows shake, this song brings back great memories of life in the 80s. Best music the band recorded

Played this to death. Half expect a faded and strained tape-sound halfway through the song. What a beauty, but, ironically not all that's left to hold on to.

I've seen them 17 times, never been disappointed. Although Achtung Baby is my personal #1, JT is my solid #2. In 86-91, worked at BASF in Wyandotte, MI. Lived on an Island near Detroit. Grosse Island, on the water. Great times... Not a care in the world!!!

Brilliant, Rich! I've seen them twice, 1987 Joshua Tree, and a just a few months ago in San Francisco, in a huge parking lot at the Cow Palace. Better than ever! Achtung Baby is also my #1, but I've been listening to a ton of JT since the concert. And even REALLY old stuff like "Gloria" and "I Will Follow."

Tom Dunlap I'm also in agreement. Achtung Baby was literally my favorite and still is. Not a bad track on the entire album. I was going through some old stuff the other week and discovered that I owned it on both cassette and then CD. Yes, I'm getting old. I also own most of the tracks on my iPhone from that album. It's funny to me how many people idolize Joshua tree over everything else that they did. That one is my third favorite after All that you can't leave Behind. Another brilliant and underrated album.

Excellent, Cameron. I'm listening to this one tonight, "All That You Can't Leave Behind." Looks like I will miss them on this 30-year-anniversary JT tour in the spring. The San Francisco sold out. I checked the LA prices, which are ridiculous.

It's difficult as a U2 fan not to love this video. It's an amazing song. Cheesey? Can't say that. But it is funny how Larry keeps beating away the entire video. The look on his face! Funny! I love these guys. The "Tree" is such an amazing album even 20 years later!

Believe it or not this one of my U2 favorites. "One Tree Hill" is the other. Both songs have strong sinew and a sturdy back. A solid musical artistic edifice, a monolith of rhythm, harmony, and restrained emotion.
