I think this is the first time Tim and Fredo really have no idea about the song's meaning and that's such a very sad reflection regarding today's America education system. You can tell they haven't been taught about history from Judas betraying Jesus with a kiss to April 4th Martin Luther King and his Free At Last speech and assassination! Tim and Fredo, please please go back and relisten closely to that song! Print out and really read the words. It's about what man has experienced and certain people from Jesus Christ all the way to Martin Luther King Jr. have given up their lives for humanity! That's why people are serious in the video. This band's history also is from war torn northern Ireland. Read about what the lead singer Bono has done with world leaders for decades now to advance humanity. Please guys. No joke!

They are actually from the Republic of Ireland, they didn't grow up in war torn Northern Ireland but when they became famous people from both sides were fans of the band and would go to concerts together in peace. They did work with politicians to help bring peace to Northern Ireland and the people voted for the Good Friday agreement which changed the country for the better and there are now a generation of children who have grown up without knowing The Troubles

[@subwaygoddess1]

The interpretation I always heard was: "one man caught on a barbed wire fence" are the soldiers of WWII, "one man betrayed by a kiss" is Jesus, "one man washed on an empty beach" is John F. Kennedy, who was washed on an empty beach during the war, and of course "early morning, April 4, shot rings out in the Memphis sky" is Martin Luther King. Bono of U2, acknowledged he made a mistake, that MLK was shot in early evening and said he sometimes sings the corrected line in concert

She had a copy of "Catcher in the Rye" tucked in her jacket pocket to read on the bus, and since it was the only thing she had that could be autographed, she extended the book toward Bono. Somehow he figured out that she wanted him to sign it, not read it, so he did, and with a nod to the book's protagonist. He was very gracious and personable, and she was mute the entire time!

I realize you're just young men stepping out into the world and there's still so much to learn. But recognize this: these young men from Ireland weren't much older than you when they wrote this song. While they grew up in war-torn Ireland they didn't stick to Irish themes. They educated themselves about what was going on in the rest of the world. This particular song was a tribute to Martin Luther King who fought for the rights of African Americans before being tragically gunned down. The song itself was a massive hit across the world and U2 would soon become one of the greatest forces in pop music and progressive culture throughout the 80's and 90's. In a way they did what you're doing... they reached across cultural boundaries (which is why we love you). Now that you know the story behind it, please give it a second listen, this time with your eyes closed so that you're not distracted by the video. Much love to you both.

[@zannemarie6591]

As others are saying this is a U2 tribute song to Martin Luther King and when they looked so serious it was because he was singing about the assassination of Martin Luther King by a white supremacist in Memphis. U2 identified with the Civil Rights Movement because of the hundreds of years of suppression of the Irish people by the English. The Irish were oppressed, their rights stripped and gunned down in the streets. Both U2 and the Cranberries (check out Zombie by them) were Irish protest bands who wrote about the troubles in Ireland. A lot of those songs are powerful and good musically. They will remind you of struggles that continue here.

I really hope y’all do U2’s “Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own” someday. Easily one of their best and most powerful songs. So good. For a more classic song though - “One”, one of their biggest hits ever. Especially react to the Chicago 2004 (Elevation Tour) performance, their best ever.

Looking at how young they were here..... I used to blast U2 on repeat when I had to do long drives. Never ever tired of hearing them.

April 4th, shots ring out in the Memphis sky and this passes you by? REALLY???

The 80's was the decade of awesome hair!!! 😂💕

Bono’s voice sends chills down the spine of many all their 80’s songs were great, plus if you wanna here another vocal masterpiece try his vocal on Clannad and Bono doing - In a Lifetime.... short but beautiful

The lead singer, Bono, did play soccer. He married his High School Sweetheart and does lots of charity work to this very day. He has often said he doesn’t think he’s a great singer but I enjoy this band very much. I’ve had the pleasure to see them live in concert and it did not disappoint.

I’ve listened to that song for over 40 years I remember when it came out and I honestly had no idea it was about MLK, or others, for that matter. How would you expect these guys to know that?

[@deborahechevarria6141]

Exactly!

[@wendyburton8875]

I just can't , I only thumbs up'd because I do love U2 and because I have enjoyed you both and so many of your reactions. But you dropped it on this

[@missjoshemmett]

This song is for Martin Luther King Jr.

[@badkitty4922]

Among others.

Larry Mullen, Jr., Adam Clayton, and the Edge are some of the best musicians of all time. I’ve had the privilege of seeing U2 in concert 6 times. Absolutely incredible.

"Early morning April 4, shot rings out in the Memphis sky. Free at at last, they took your life, they could not take your pride" Listen again. He is talking about the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.

Bono was a scrappy street kid from a broken home in Dublin Ireland. He and his pals began this band in the 70s. Been the same lineup since the start and still releasing new music.

You guys should also listen to another song by U2 titled "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." It's definitely a banger!

Early morning April 4th, shot rings out in a Memphis sky. "Free at Last" they took your life, they could not take your pride- obviously about the assassination of Martin Luther King- you guys "why so serious" Maybe you should listen to the lyrics as well as the beat.... but you guys make me smile
