Running to Stand Still - Joshua Tree Documentary

[@RideMyBMW]

Joshua Tree = A 20th century masterpiece

[@lastofthemohicans1]

Amazing road trip album.

[@the_real_littlepinkhousefly]

"Cinematic" is the perfect way to describe this album, and Unforgettable Fire, as well.

[@iamtomkills]

ENO. A true genius. He sees things in a band and in music that are supernatural. His musical intellect and vision is off the scale. U2 and Brian were a magical match.

[@alexandriawallacew9327]

I think Daniel Lanois was also a great thing with U2 - Just Saying 🥂

[@Ed30675]

I have the same thoughts for both Eno and Daniel...

[@jasonkeith9317]

1987 what a year for music good grief it's mind blowing the music that came out that year!! Glad I was around to witness it!!

[@geebud1880]

Am in awe -- this song is so great.. both instrumental and lyrics and feel

[@bonofoundgrace]

I think Edge is not only impressed by Bono's singing talent, but also by Bono's ability to actually make the melody of the song, almost instantly. I understand that he does that on a regular basis.

[@elool9435]

Did you mean Daniel or Edge?

[@sensitivity7207]

Yes, if you listen to „One” studio session, the melody he sang for the first time during jam session is the one on the record.

[@douglasconroy2394]

Hearing these early beginnings to this song to me suddenly really strongly brings out a Lou Reed influence I'd never picked up on before. The "Perfect Day"-like piano, the content of the lyric, and his love of early r&b in the "ha-la-la-di-day" vocal.

[@bobboberson2024]

This was their revamp of BAD. Masters of the two chord songs.

[@tobyfunk6858]

What a song. Love playing it on the acoustic guitar and piano.

[@wodenoftheangles3339]

At the same time!? Wow - talented!

[@ivanlongo8725]

Incredible album

[@andymacc]

Creative magic, like a surfboard ride on a beautiful wave. When it comes you gotta grab it with both hands and they did here x

[@Alienkiwi730]

U2 were very ahead of their time. In 1986 they sounded like an alternative rock band from the 2000s

[@richardroberson2564]

JT is a very timeless album, their other 80s records sound very 80s same with their 90s. Which sound 90s. But JT could have come out yesterday.

[@u2phreak]

THE BEST U2 SONG. PERIOD. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@greensombrero3641]

U2 - one of the most important bands in history - beautiful music.

[@gazeteciserif6525]

Fascinating song,It'll be fascinating 100 years later,too.

[@davidhart2788]

I feel very lucky to be a local here in JT. I remember when Gram Parsons tragically died here. I know the National Park better than the park rangers, many places that the rangers don't know about, same about the non-patrolled Wilderness areas where many folks have gotten lost or died. My dad taught me a lot about hiking the trails long years ago. Also, I have a secret cave that is cool in the summer, warm in the winter. Given food and water I could live there month on end, even YEARS if need be..

[@azynkron]

And that is connected to a documentary about songs how?

[@TMillsMusic]

Lanois and Eno, the 5th and 6th members of U2

[@Ed30675]

Both genius...

[@t.kahraba763]

Some producers are criminally underrated

[@matthew4694]

Fortunately, neither of these gentlemen fall into that category and are among the most admired (and award-winning) producers of the 20th century.

[@parkjamesshaw3189]

Afuckinmen to that

[@bluenightgrinner8620]

My favourite song on JT.

[@Denisehealthnut]

I love that hat on The Edge, I have one similar.

[@paulchristie4904]

I don’t skip any songs on Joshua tree that’s pretty rare!!!

[@sebastiandelgado3517]

Edge is U2's soul and Bono the body.

[@Datamining101]

But Songs of Surrender shows us that Larry is the brain that makes the whole thing work.

[@booradley32]

True genius

[@cbono69]

I love this Video....

[@garrethdavis]

legendary

[@gregvinson1]

Lanois is a big Larry Mullen fan. Me too.

[@edyoung3664]

Larry was in fact u2's founding member. His drumming in this song is sublime. Very underrated as a drummer

[@wandafischetti1186]

BIG TALENT HERE TOGETHER LOVE THEM A LOT XXX

[@susycanela]

It's one of the most beautiful songs❤ in the world, I love it.😂 It sounds like "Nebraska" by Bruce Springsteen.

[@mycardboardcutoutuk]

u2 are the best because they are such tight band and feed off eachother, hence they were originally called feedback and eno understood this, quality!

[@ajvox]

GREAT

[@RitaCorcoran-fy2bn]

Wanting to know about the lyrics ,the mind frame ,in which it came from...it's very spiritual

[@logigmusic6458]

Danesmoate, just shows unique live reverb rooms are where its at. And a ton of talent ofc

[@dubbedcrazy]

lanois = god

[@DrakrSlyr]

joshua tree is one of my favorite albums ever, but for some reason this song has not really "clicked" in me. It's not that i hate it, i just don't know why.

[@mitchmcturtle6890]

Has it clicked yet? Let’s hope your music taste has matured at least a little in 11 years.

[@ValdemarDeMatos]

The Zoo TV tour version of this song is amazing

[@Meowbay]

What's with Bono and those orange shades? Where is the Sun?

[@TT_1221]

I have to say I reluctantly agree with you. Their still my fav band too but they def reached their peak with zoo tv/auchtung baby. U2 to me were always a more political and socially aware outfit rather than a rock band as such and zoo tv/auchtung baby was the height of that playing the rockstar thing which really suited their personalities. Great album and it was the best show ever. I saw zoo tv live, pop and vertigo also. Now their just going through the motions . . . (get on your boots?!?)

[@rulinghabs]

I think they were still ok with All that you can’t leave behind and even How to dismantle an Atomic Bomb. I will say their concerts are not the same as they were. I see them when they come to town. I first saw them for the Joshua tree tour in the 80’s. Their shows in the 90’s were amazing. I now live in Vancouver and fro some reason they like to start their tours here which is cool. If you drove by the arena days before the shows you could hear them practicing.

[@BestUserNameUK]

Up the flats!

[@DrakrSlyr]

@DrakrSlyr After a week I began loving the song.

[@sodiumlights]

what`s that wee 12-string electric Dan`s playing at the beginning?

[@Civilian2.0]

Think its' a 12 string mandolin - A Vox Mando, maybe?

[@stochasticdifferentialeq.1393]

U2 music without Bono voice is priceless

[@RequiemVaccaro]

wondering who wrote the melody to the lyrics in U2?

[@CampagnoloChick]

Joshua Tree and the Rattle and Hum were by far U2's best albums. When they were at their height. Glad they got back to their sounds after Zooropa

[@MrTorontoRob]

Many fans were not happy with Rattle and Hum; it is a sentimental favorite for me as it was my first album of U2 that I really got into. All I want is You was my wedding song. But I think their head's were much too big at this time. Achtung Baby is their true masterpiece in my view. But that is my humble opinion.

[@theeltea]

Well... Not sure about Rattle & Hum but Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, October for me...

[@nguitar3456]

Achtung Baby is WAY better than Rattle and Hum, Zooropa is also an amazing piece of work.

[@reinfendr583]

Got to disagree, because one of the things that make U2 awesome today is that period in the early 90s where they went further and explored different sounds, they broke with their own traditions. Achtung Baby is arguably their best album along with Joshua Tree, Zooropa is also a key work on their career, nice songs on it like the title-track (kind of a prog song) and Stay, Lemon, etc.

[@KangoTV]

I'm glad Bono lost those glasses.

[@hosoiarchives4858]

Of only they'd kept doing this

[@PJBluntz]

Why is this not out on a record. It would sell millions and I would love to hear it.

[@adamsasso1]

It’s on The Joshua Tree album

[@Reprodestruxion]

actually but I'm partial to Zooropa and Passengers. then Ok computer happened.

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

So that everyone is aware these are the dry tracks, some demos playing through a $150,000 mixing console dry without all the outboard hardware connected. So this is why your recordings always sound like crap because you do not have $350,000 in outboard gear, Console mixer, Studio booths.

[@samchoate1719]

is that sarcasm? because that's outlandish

[@ardaz1987]

It’s no longer the Beatles or the Stones....sorry Stones the lads from Ireland have replaced you.

[@wodenoftheangles3339]

In your dreams.

[@ardaz1987]

@@wodenoftheangles3339 based on what? Personal preference or hard facts?

[@wodenoftheangles3339]

@@ardaz1987 Just more so on historical context. I mean, without the Stones and the Beatles there wouldn't even be a U2. So to say what you said isn't just naive - it's actually disrespectful.

[@ardaz1987]

@@wodenoftheangles3339 it’s not naive or disrespectful. There’s no questioning the Beatles being the greatest band of all time, you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who disagrees with that. But to say that U2 aren’t worthy of being compared to other great bands such as the Stones, Queen, the Who etc... is naive and disrespectful to a band that hold all sorts of records for their tours and record sales relative to their age and the fact that people tend to download their music now rather buy physical albums. To my knowledge U2 have never released a duff album, can you really say that about the Stones....some of their stuff is garbage.

[@getthewordout3669]

U2 is my favorite band but nothing replaces the Beatles

[@TheJoseph5117]

Jesus it's a wonder U2 ever made a half decent record the amount of time they spent listening to that convoluted egocentrical intelligent on purpose knob that is Eno.

[@johnmc3862]

What!? Lol.
