#U2 #EvenBetterThanTheRealThing #Remastered
Lyrics:
Give me one more chance, and you'll be satisfied.
Give me two more chances, you won't be denied.
Well my heart is where it's always been
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance, let me be your lover tonight.
(Check it out)
You're the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing.
Give me one last chance, and I'm gonna make you sing
Give me half a chance to ride on the waves that you bring
You're honey child to a swarm of bees
Gonna blow right through ya like a breeze
Give me one last dance, we'll slide down the surface of things
You're the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing.
We're free to fly the crimson sky
The sun won't melt our wings tonight.
Oh now, oh yeah, here she comes
Take me higher, take me higher
You take me higher, you take me higher.
You're the real thing
Yeah, you're the real thing.
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing.
Even better than the real thing.
Even better than the real thing.

I recall Achtung Baby being the most anticipated album that I've ever witnessed in my lifetime. Brilliant track and album.

[@elleericson2056]

Also a shock - many fans struggled with the new sound. I thought it was great - the sound of Pan European Harmony and the Futurism. Shame our Political Class aren't Bono.

[@maxmeier532]

More credit? I mean, who cares. Achtung Baby is one of the best albums ever made that's quite obvious. It's basically complete. There isnt two singles and some afterthoughts. You could name every single song on that album and it's a classic in its own form. And I do believe the album is somewhat detached from anything they did before and after, although there are some songs from I think their next album that would have fit well on Achtung Baby as well, like "gone".

"Even Better than the Real Thing" took place in London between February 11 - 14th, 1992 in various locations in London, England with director Kevin Godley. The first location for filming was a store called “Zoo” on London’s Carnaby Street, a well known shopping district. The shoot started that day around 6pm, and finished around 9pm on February 11. On the 12th - 14th, the production moved indoors to Pinewood Studios, where the scenes of U2 performing the song in a big open room were filmed. This is also where the special effects of the video camera circling around the band were realized.

@@workingZen Pop was awesome. Was criticised back in the day for being too much of a radical departure... But so was Radiohead, Underworld & Silverchair when they changed their genres. Each of them only expanded their audience. I still like U2 (especially their shows), but I wonder how much more awesome they could have been if they continued experimenting every once in a while.

@@jacoja06 I wonder why they stopped going in that direction? Cause POP didn't do so well? Wish they go back to that era. I remember how disappointed I was when I got All that you can't leave behind album.

@@workingZen Agree, I felt the same way. They probably wanted a more stripped-back album to follow from Pop anyway (after the media backlash) but I think the huge popularity of 'The sweetest thing' and their 1980-1990 compilation album in '98 probably caused them to have a second rethink about the direction they were heading. They could have been alternative/experimental and less popular, or mainstream and highly popular, so they decided to play it safe and go mainstream. It kinda made sense to go in that direction back then. But now, at this stage of their careers, they've already proven themselves. They should just go wild!

One of the best U2 songs hands down! This video, ironically, reminds me of the spinning video by the band Inhaler. Keeping those lads on their toes, are we?

People look deeper than just the music you hear might lead you to the truth of this world 🙏
