Lyrics:
Green light, Seven Eleven,
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes.
You don't smoke, don't even want to.
Hey now, check your change.
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turnin' but you're upside down.
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive.
Oh, is that what it is?
Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground.
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around.
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch. to the talk shows.
And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing.
If I could stay, then the night would give you up.
Stay, and the day would keep its trust.
Stay, and the night would be enough.
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio.
With satellite television
You can go anywhere:
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin.
And, if you listen, I can't call.
And, if you jump, you just might fall.
And, if you shout, I'll only hear you.
If I could stay, then the night would give you up.
Stay, and the day would keep its trust.
Stay with the demons you drowned.
Stay with the spirit I found.
Stay, and the night would be enough.
Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet, there's no one around,
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground.
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel hits the ground.

This was, is and will forever be my favourite song EVER! I remember being 17 and listening to it for the first time...had goosebumps and cried. Same when I watched the video later. It´s just...poetry, magic and the perfect sound all combined to make your soul and heart sing ♥ Now I am 47 and U2 stayed my favourite band ♥

[@SpaceCattttt]

I'm the same age as you, but I can't say that U2 has remained my favourite band. In fact, it was all downhill after Zooropa. They've had a handful of decent songs since then, but I can't understand how you manage to forgive them for the crap they've been producing since All That You Can't Leave Behind? They sound nothing like they used to. I mean, they used to combine the epic with the intimate better than anyone else. But now, it's all EPIC whether it should be or not. A bit like Coldplay doing football chants. It sounds desperate and boring to me. The passion has been replaced with corporate greed and a willingness to do whatever it takes to stay relevant...

This song, in many ways, is the band at the peak of their abilities. There are few "perfect" songs, but in my estimation this qualifies as one.

[@portiajerich6167]

Lots of memories... And feeling with this one

[@rogergui1980]

A sonoridade, os elementos usados nessas canção harmônicos, fazem dela uma Perfeição sonora!

[@tecnaassessoriatecnologica7133]

That's why U2 is an everlasting Band. There is no time to hear their songs and performances. And the Very pleasure to hear this song and appreciate the hypnotic beauty of Nastassja Kinski.

[@pedropaulopereira5427]

Acabei de completar 50 anos em 07/09/23 e essa banda fez toda diferença na minha trajetória…obrigado U2

[@hgostos]

Same here!

[@andreluisrodrigues8823]

PARABÉNS eu tenho 4.5

[@Isabella-qu2rb]

Stay, Bono , Wim Wenders and the beautiful Nastassja Kinski. ...only the best.

[@wanderer8989]

The best video of U2 in the 90's or maybe of whole their videography! Was directed by Wim Wenders in October 1993 as a return favor for letting him use the song in his movie. The video was produced by Debbie Mason and edited by Jerry Chater. Set in Berlin, the clip stars German actress Meret Becker, whose stepfather, Otto Sander, was playing a lead role in Wenders’ film. U2 appear in the video as guardian angels who watch over a young band playing their own songs. There are also several shots of the band standing on the statue of Victoria, atop the Siegessäule monument in Berlin. A model of the statue was used for those scenes.

[@vanillacaffelatte]

I was about to ask how did they film those scenes but you've already explained :P Wim Wenders, huh? Interesting to see how much in common U2 & Depeche Mode (my beloved bands) have.

[@Smiley575]

amazing... i never knew that, it´s been over 20 years since i first heard this song but never knew about the film behind it.

[@simones353]

Wings of Desire. Wim Wenders. Which then remake City of Angels

[@anthonyb.corrales4470]

What's the name of the lady angel ?

[@anthonyb.corrales4470]

3,15 who's the angel?

[@justinnewton8351]

I had the privilege to hear this song performed live by U2 in Lexington, KY, back in 2001. A rare treat and it sounded so good too! Awesome song!!!

[@ZdenoKorman]

The golden classic

[@pugtales]

Im begging the universe for a U2 tour

[@kaliaragorn]

Definitely a masterpiece.

[@nathjcaldeira]

man people who say that u2 sucks... surely havent heard this song. truly a masterpiece

[@swamisalami3000]

A lot of their music since 2000 suck mostly nut this era was pretty brilliant. They peaked in the 90’s because they made interesting records. The last 2 decades have been a bit of a note compared to what they used to make

[@tombutler6451]

All That You Can’t Leave Behind & HTDAAB hardly sucked 2 of their greatest albums!Plus the record breaking 360 tour 09-11 i would say the the last 20 years haven’t been too bad 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[@swamisalami3000]

@@tombutler6451 those albums were pretty weak compared to achtung baby and zooropa. I really tried to like the 2000 stuff but they were just too over produced and weak. Sadly they haven’t changed their sound ever since those albums. All the albums since 2000 are pretty interchangeable

[@thanekrios3211]

@@swamisalami3000 I loved Achtung Baby, Zooropa far less other than Stay. The band's absolute peak albums in my opinion though are The Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum, followed by The Unforgettable Fire.

[@yesiam43]

Ahhhhh. How lucky I was to grow up in this era. ❤

[@isabelcorreia6700]

You really was… thats my mums account, im turning 14! Im like obsessed w u2 because of my parents and im really thankful for that! 💗

[@ContinenteMovil]

No permitan que esta canción y video mueran.... ¡¡NUNCA!!

[@kenhauser3194]

Every pulse, every word, the way the lyrics sit and rise. The drums, bass, guitar, singing, performance, video, art, musicianship - the start, the middle, the end. Every single millisecond of this song and this video … genius. What a masterpiece!

[@deia.sena91]

If someone ask me: Tell a U2 song that you prefer album version than live version. And I always say : "Stay (Fawaray, So Close!)". What I feel when I'm listening this song, I can't say. I can't describe.

[@deia.sena91]

@Pablo Gonzalez ☺️☺️☺️

[@MrSongwriter2]

One is always better on the album than live

[@Samuel-bu5yh]

Wow.. amazing!!!

[@noobztubes]

Timeless classic. My favourite U2

[@irenemclennan4988]

Everybody needs U2 in their lives ❤💪✌️🙏👍🇦🇺

[@sergeifitzgeraldfih1031]

U2 is timeless! Like all Good music from the 80's, 90's bands with lyrics that communicate love, deceiving and the most important feelings

[@amybarrett7300]

Who could down vote this masterpiece? ‘Stay’ has a permanent place in my top 10 U2 songs, as well as videos. The melody is almost haunting, the lyrics describing how we self-sabotage and are unable to move forward to save ourselves. ‘Dressed up, like a car crash, your wheels are turning but you’re upside down’ is the crux of the song. Brilliant. The angel on the statue always gives me Vertigo, tho. 😂💚

[@sushmaysaha8305]

This song is from Zooropa and this year & month is the 30th anniversary of this song/album.. I have a special place in my heart altogether. It holds a sort of meditative relevance for me. I can be shut off from everything just by listening to it.

[@ericpanissidi6761]

Grew up in 80s america.u2 was like Beatles for me

[@zaidaali4688]

This is perhaps U2’s most “emo” song of all time. It always makes me melancholy and takes me back to a very different time: I remember the fall of the Berlin Wall, when bands like U2 (but especially U2) examined the desolation and decay that existed in the Soviet Union - on one side of Deutschland, one of the greatest economic powerhouses in the world . . . to the east, stagnation, a lack of purpose and little hope to look towards. This song, and “One,” always made me very sad.

[@miguel_sever]

What a film, what a song. One of the greatest, I have no doubt.

[@TaichoCyclist]

Simply to put it, I listened and I cried 30 years ago and today is no different.

[@jordanforever21]

Nastassja Kinski was so beautiful in this video. I used to try to catch this video on MTV daily just to watch her scenes.

[@leeobrien2545]

This song reminds me of getting home from school in 1993 maybe 94. I would have been 13.I was just getting into music.I used to sit and watch MTV everyday before my dad got home from work and put the news on.Stay Faraway So Close used to be on a lot.It grabbed my attention.The Lyrics and how Bono was singing. My dad would describe it as "Real music son".Of course he was right. Listening back to it now, as I have a lot in the past 28 years.The lyrics are unbelievably good.That Voice to.Its one of there best songs

[@skarath]

I think if he sung this song more straight-up like in the Zoo TV Tour it would've been a bigger hit.

[@katedonohue8438]

Thanks It sounds like a way I would describe them. They are so much of my life. They almost became like the wallpaper on my walls. Not boring or mundane, but right and comfortable. I love them. They right. my life.

[@flyingdutchman63]

Follow U2 about more than 40 years. Love them. There are so good live.

[@user-cf8vm9zh3r]

This song makes me very nostalgic, in a part of my life it helped me a lot to carry the sadness of my days. Today I carry it in my soul because it makes me remember everything I had to go through to be the person who I am. thanks U2

[@skipwilson3713]

This is also true of myself and my life. Thank you for sharing!

[@Marco-vi3tf]

It's sad, the world doesn't make music like this anymore

[@ericbruyn]

Without a doubt, one of the Greatest bands ever, permanent.

[@garyjones3625]

Absolutely agreed !!!!
