The thing about U2 is their music rings of truth. All four musicians are always on top of their game, one of my absolute favorite bands.

Say what you will about Bono and U2, the politics, the excessiveness, the hype, the drama. When it's all said and done, they wrote some beautifully powerful, well-crafted songs.

This is the final track off their last 1980s album, at the end of an iconic run of albums that really posited them as the greatest rock band in the world at the time. It has that anthemic beauty that was so much a feature of their music back then (and which made some people call them pompous) - but during the last few minutes of the song, with the psychedelic, blurry strings coming in. it's as if the contours are loosening up and we're hearing a foretaste of the bold experimental sounds that would flow into their music in the 1990s. It really is a borderline track, even if it wasn't deliberately planned that way. (Strings arranged by Van Dyke Parks, who had famously worked with Brian Wilson on the Smile project twenty years earlier)

U2 will NEVER fail to deliver. They will always strike chords in your soul that resonate with all emotions. Sometimes when Bono vocalises I am immobilized, I just can't move. He's that powerful. Check out a song from a group called LoneJustice with a similar haunting feel to it. It's called Shelter. The group shared many of the same producers with U2 like Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno.

Since you love Unchained Melody I highly recommend One/Unchained Melody from the U2 ZooTV Live from Sydney. One is considered my many (myself included) to be their greatest song and it probably the song that means the most to the band as they wrote it at a time when they almost broke up and the song saved them. The performance from the ZooTV Sydney concert is very emotional since the concert before that one bassist Adam Clayton missed the show bc he was unconscious in the hospital after a drinking binge. His struggle with alcoholism had been great worse over the years and that night he hit rock bottom. He’s been sober ever since. I think that Sydney concert is their best bc of that added emotion, they were so grateful that Adam was okay. Given what One represents to the band, that night it meant so much more. The song goes into a beautiful rendition of Unchained Melody. You should definitely check it out (honestly that whole concert is perfection so I recommend the whole thing!)

I called up my girlfriend in 1989, and didn't hang up the phone properly and her message machine continued to record. This song was on and I turned it up. It was a happy accident and I was well rewarded later that evening...

I knew of the single after hearing the full version on the album for a while. I found the single sometime later, I really like the B-side stuff a lot. Rattle and Hum was a mix of live concert footage, behind the scene stuff, and other recordings. It was release as a movie first, before releasing on video. I had it and played it a lot. Even my mom really like this movie

The Rattle and Hum album has a song called Love Rescue Me, which is co-written and sang by Bono and Bob Dylan, and a live cover of Dylan's All Along The Watchtower, which introduced me to Dylan. Compared with his masterpieces, Love Rescue Me is only a Dylan minor work, but the self reflective quality of that song still stands apart from much of the album.

Shawn, Shawn, Shawn, I think you're putting too much emphasis on finding the "meaning" of songs. For those of us who remember when this song was brand new, there wasn't an Internet to look for answers. We often went years until we learned details about a song we wanted to know more about. In rock and roll, the music is most often the biggest reason for a song's popularity. A chorus that people want to sing along to is always a big plus. "All I Want is You" is one of my favorite U2 songs, and I saw the song's video for the first time ever while watching your reaction video today. You're always engaging and have a good sense of humor, but really, the video is irrelevant to the song. A lot of songwriters strive for ambiguity in their songs. I've heard and read great songwriters like Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Keith Richards and Tom Petty talk about how important ambiguity can be to a song, because the more ways a song can be interpreted means that there's more people that it might become special to. Most rock and roll songs aren't "story songs", so what a song is about is often very simple. This particular song is really just a great love song. Thanks for showing me the song's video, which I never knew existed. Your videos are getting better and better. Just remember to have fun doing this and your channel will keep growing. Keep rocking, Shawn !

While there certainly are "story" songs from U2, many also came out of an idea or an emotion Bono had when writing, or singing what came to mind as other members played. Often times, the "meaning" or feeling behind certain songs changed over the years for different members of the band regarding certain songs. I think they embraced the idea that different fans can pull out different meanings from the songs they played. I don't think it's fair to say that the video is irrelevant, as it is simply Barry Devlin's take on the meaning. But in general, I agree with your overarching idea that more emphasis should be put on what the performance means to you, rather than what the creators meant by the song. But, we all consume art differently.

@@stevesmith4600 You have a clear perspective on this, Steve, so thanks. My point about the video's irrelevance wasn't that the director's film doesn't have merit, but it makes no difference in how much a person likes the song. I went until last week before I first saw the video, but I've loved "All I Want is You" since U2 released Rattle and Hum. Maybe it's the message driven effect of rap music on people, but getting to the meaning of every rock and roll song wasn't important to me or my friends and family. Sure, there's plenty of songs I was compelled to research, but only if a song raised questions for me that made me curious. Listening to music is one of the few things humans do that engages the whole brain, so a song can have the power to be a very personal experience. I like that Shawn researches songs in his videos, but typically that's not as important as how much (and why) he likes it.

The Joshua Tree is one of my favorite albums. U2, while legendary, stopped being good a couple albums after this one. There is NOTHING on this entire album not worth listening to. Definitely at their pinnacle. Rule is: anything early U2 is stellar. Anything early to mid-90's doesn't hold a candle to before that. I guess it's partly because of the casualty of fame. Man, Bono's voice back in the early days. Intoxicating
