#U2 #LastNightOnEarth #Remastered
Lyrics:
She feel the ground is giving way
But she thinks we're better off that way.
The more you take, the less you feel
The less you know the more you believe
The more you have, the more it takes today.
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
Give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
Well she don't care what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth.
She's not waiting on a saviour to come
She's at the bus stop
With the News Of The World
And the sun, sun, here it comes.
She's not waiting for anyone.
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
Give it away.
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
Well she don't care what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth.
Slipping away, slip, slide
Too many slipping away.
The world turns and we get dizzy
Slipping away.
She's living
She's living next week now.
You know she's gonna pay you back somehow.
She hasn't been to bed in a week
She'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep.
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
Give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
She already knows it hurts
She's living like it the last night on earth
The last night on earth
Last night on earth
Last night.

Their best period. Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop. Creative, bold, uncompromising, innovative. Pop was highly misunderstood by the critics. Still a pearl in their catalogue.

[@eriadin]

@Gerardo Aguilar Avila I can agree and disagree, Achtung is literally my favourite album of U2, although this particular song (which I hear for the first time as I'm writing this comment) seems quite awesome. Like, besides from that I'd say it's hard to find a bad U2 album, and I couldn't really say that an entire era of theirs is my favourite, my top three would probably be Achtung, ATYCLB and SoE.

[@operationbruce3821]

@Gerardo Aguilar Avila amen

[@operationbruce3821]

Achtung baby thé best album of all time, thats all.

[@passtheawksshow]

In the 90s William S. Burroughs does a track with Kurt Cobain and a music video with U2 right before dying. What a legend.

[@the-hermit]

‪One of the most underrated U2 single ever‬

[@spac18]

The album version is crap, that's why

[@gavintuesday4959]

@@spac18he said single ! Singles get tv and radio play even if the album is shite. This was also a single . The album is far from crap. I’m someone who couldn’t never stand Bono . Not the best album of 1997 or as good as some of their earlier albums, but it’s alright . The songs sounded great during the live show, especially this song

[@Jared40]

Never understood the dislike for Pop it's such a great album. The only problem was some of the songs didn't corlate well live due to the electronica sound. 🎵

[@idenhlm]

It's a great album.

@@Jared40 Maybe not so fully realised as much of there work, however covers some tremendous ground.

[@jeanqster]

Discotequi spoiled the album and that sensation of eletronic sounds bad produced.

[@unclejoshc]

I actually think the opposite. I love the songs but am not a fan of the studio versions much at all. The live ones though I listen to all the time. They feel unfinished on the album itself.

[@MrPauliez67]

They shut down the highways in Kansas City to film this video. Everyone lost their shit. It was awesome.

[@StLProgressive]

I was wondering where they filmed it.

@@hervemauri6457 I understand that you cannot please everyone, however I truly believe that one of U2's strong suits is that the music of U2 is enjoyed by an international music listening audience (music listening audiences across Europe, the United States and other parts of the world/globe etc.

[@kaliaragorn]

Underrated masterpiece.

[@DokkaChapman]

Come on lads, all we want is a remastered reissue of 'Pop'. The B-Sides & remixes are worth it alone!

[@greengrugach1984]

Last truly great thing U2 ever did was Pop and Popmart tour, they've been good since but they were truly the best band on each back then, still sounds more modern than their safe music since.

[@Starbearer]

My favorite song from Pop album, U2 forever

[@michaelg2478]

I'll never get over the fact U2 didn't release "The Playboy Mansion" as a single, nor even choose to play it in concert haha. The wonderful melodic guitar, the laidback chill melody, Bono's vocals, ugh, most bands would kill for a song half as good. Loving all these Pop videos however.

[@tomasford]

I remember Triple J played it quite a bit here in Australia

[@mecetnoca]

"The Playboy Mansion" is a Great Song, Psycodelic... And continues with 'velver dress' another gem.

[@fredh1720]

Playboy mansion imo is one of the worst songs they ever did

[@Vampire.Vegan.]

They didn't want to pay the royalties to The Turtles's lol

[@LucasLima-ov4mq]

"The Playboy Mansion" is a brilliant song, that captures U2 at one of his most provocative moments, could've be a great single and a great song live as well. U2Pop 🦄🦄🦄.

[@NC-ck5oj]

This should be one of their classics

[@jerryperez8742]

That intro is just awesome. Just ahead of its time with this one.

[@andrewwilliams9641]

This sounded great live on the popmart tour. Love it.

[@Ian24089]

I love this album so damn much. My favorite album from them and one of the best albums ever IMO. So glad to see other commenters praising it and realizing how underrated it was, especially back in the day! I think it gets a bit more credit now. So ahead of it's time... and it aged so well!

[@mralexlex]

Last GREAT U2 album! Bold, imaginative, well rounded, just fantastic. After POP U2 went into overoveroveroveoveroruducing and with less courage and boldness.

[@sivebalussou3241]

Love the album Pop - I ran out and bought it on cassette when it came out in the 90s (my 20s) it’s way ahead of its time and will be appreciated by the young today.

[@cornflakesyuh3235]

I’m listening to it now I’m 20 and love it!

[@wilbur2643]

Loving these pop remastered videos they are exactly what the album needs to get rediscovered for new generation or for those that where critical of it on release. I absolutely loved this album and it was on this tour I saw them in the rain at Leeds 1997 and it was simply fantastic.

[@bonolee07]

I was there and it was extremely wet especially when Cast were on…brightened up when U2 came on though 👍

[@simonmitchell190]

Heard them in Munich. Sophie Dahl. Garjus. Loops from Howie b?

[@simonmitchell190]

Plus Burroughs rip.

[@carolynrhaespencer5334]

That's what I'm getting at, Wilbur. In retrospect, the live performances of the Popmart Tour shadow the lackluster reception of the studio album. Reduce it to trivial.

[@szabolcsmezei4088]

[@fleursbruyantes4177]

I remember being blown away by how they got the video to look so old. Now I'm guessing that the exterior scenes were filmed on Super 8 film. The shots from the inside the car are a bit too sharp so I'm thinking those were filmed digitally with some kind of filter applied to make them match the Super 8 shots.

[@thenamelessavenger]

This video is weird and awesome. It's also weird and awesone that they acknowledged this song's existence.

[@keithkoenig5320]

This was filmed in front of my work in Kansas City, Missouri. The brass were none too happy that many at the bank where I still work were watching them shooting. A few hundred to be exact. The thin, elongated windows over Adam's right shoulder at 3:34 is where we stood watching in our old IT room. Our crew left at 4:15 PM and the band was about 15 feet away from us...AND the Tank! We stared at the scene for a couple of minutes, when an assistant ran over and told me and a co-worker that we couldn't interfere with the shoot and to move on. "The balls on this guy!", I thought. You guys are on MY turf! I then told the guy that in about 15 minutes, about half of the bank's employees would be coming out those doors, as our parking at the time was a block or two in either direction. His eyes opened wide and he sprinted away, giving my news to someone via his monster walkie-talkie. They had been setting up and filming for a few hours at that point. It was cool to see the whole band and a tank outside my building, on an otherwise uneventful work day. I will say though, that the video is pretty awful, despite the cameo of the great William S Burrows, who died the same year he appeared in this video. It was a memorable day at work, though. You don't see global Rock Stars filming a video outside your door too often!

Slip Slide... (The Clock Tells Her That Time Is Slipping...) The World Turns And We Get Dizzy (Minute Hands And Second Sticking...) Slipping Away (There's Something Going On She Might Be Missing The World Turns And We Get Dizzy Is It Spinning For You The Way It's Spinning For Me) She's Living Living Next Week Now You Know She's Going To Pay It Back Somehow The Future Is Here At Last The Past Is Too Uncomfortable You Got To Give It Away You Got To Give It Away You Got To Give It Away She Already Knows It Hurts She's Living Like It's The Last Night On Earth Last Night On Earth Last Night On Earth.
