This is one of those songs that the band have never performed live, but every U2 wishes they would.
You can find rehearsal U2 360,
It’s amazing
Not sure that it would sound like much live. It's 100% a studio song.
@@bminturn would be perfect if they do a session with an orchestra.
When you have an hour to relax put on U2☆UNFORGETTABLE FIRE the album is an absolute vibe!
This is a deep cut for U2. It was not a hit single -- but a track that shows their versatility.
That is my fave song ever
Does nobody read the bible? The "Rise up... wings like eagles" lyrics are from the Book of Isaiah. The song is about reaching out in despair and being rescued by God. It's one of my very favorite U2 songs. I find it hauntingly beautiful.
Yes. I find the misunderstanding of this song unfortunately quite typical of music listeners today...
It’s written about his mom and his hope to see her again .. she died when he was 14
Rick Beato has a terrific episode on this song “Drowning Man.” Here it is:
czcams.com/video/XUx7JPlixzc/video.html
“What Makes this melody interesting?.” Beato knows that U2 is a great band that many people hate. Personally I distrust Bono’s neoliberal political tendencies. He’s friends with George W Bush, for example. I hate that “imperial messenger” quality about Bono, just like I dislike Oprah Winfrey for the same reason. But this song is phenomenal. Wow. The whole album “War” (which this song comes from) is a masterpiece.
Yes I really enjoyed Rick's take on the song. As I recall, he was trying to determine what time signature it was in because the instruments seem to be in different areas.
The song is very atmospheric, poetic, passionate. It came out during a fraught time in the world -- ala, the Cold War -- and for Europe and Ireland, particularly. When U2 wrote songs about War and strife, they wrote from experience. We used to listen to them not only due to the great Rock sounds they made but also for the authenticity of their message/lyrics. They were raw, aggressive but also sung words of peace, compassion, love, truth and spiritual understanding. Great band!
Well then...
What a great time to be living and hearing this song, with all the world in turmoil, it fits perfectly. God bless us, all we can do at this point is hold on tightly to nothing😢
@@funkysawmanwright5077 not nothing…each other. And music.
@@SallyB_23 as an anti social person, I would rather isolate my self in mother nature and strip clean of worldly possessions that makes me who I am. Then quietly leave this heart of clay and return this tired body back to mother earth
This is from their cornerstone album WAR released in the early 80s, Sunday Bloody Sunday, or New Years Day would have been better choices from this crucial period in ther career.
Actually one of my faves by them....try these songs .... Surrender...or In Gods Country...Red Hill Mining Town ...Gloria....I could name many more but U2 is one of my favorite bands
Surrender and Red Light from War are great songs that never get tagged us such when people are summing this band up.
U2 is simply the best band of the last 40 years and the biggest live band of the last 35 years.
I love that you reacted to this song precisely because so many others are saying they wished you would have reacted to other better known U2 songs. They can go watch those reactions a bunch of times elsewhere. That's the problem with reactors. They all react to the same songs. It's nice that you dug deeper on someone's recommendation. Also, as Rick Beato said, it's a great song. Bono's passion and the simple guitar line( and guitar harmonics) elevate it. It fits well into that album.
Nice to hear a deep cut from U2.
One of the most beautiful
Absolute favorite of ours back in our touring days!! "rise up, rise up on wings of eagles...the storm will pass....His love will last forever...."
I've seen U2 live in concert here in Perth, WA at Optus staduim!!!
Appreciate you.
I'm definitely subscribed to you
Bono took his name from his first pet lizard...no wait, it was a ferret! Well maybe a turtle, but that's all besides the point.
One of U2 s better albums and still a great song...angry young men during trying times in Ireland made for a hard soulful sound. A Request for cool tune by the Extreme - Hole hearted.... thanks
You also should hear the Fixx REach the Beach. But U2 was the baddest Euro band in the 80s
it was a monster hit for those of us who dreamed about their potential and were only exceeded by ''BAD'' and the monster reach it had at LIVE AID. My Brother O'Ded On fentanyl/& chrystal Meth + coke & DIed on the freezing ice cold streets of VANCOUVER. The pain i feel in this song is the only time it matches the pain i felt about our collective failure to save him. It will be with me forever! ,just like the song will last forever!.
A song about his faith .. his moms death .......
Listen to u2 song titled: “unforgettable fire”
Or “red hill mining town”.
I know how much you love harmonies. Here is one Helplessly Hoping by Crosby Still and Nash
It’s crazy how U2 gets so much hate. Especially after the whole iPhone album fiasco. I get Bono can be kind of annoying, but once you get passed that you’ll realise they’re pretty dope.
One
Mysterious Ways
New Year’s Day
last I heard, he was still with his girl, Allie, since the 70's
Check out Time Bandits-"Im Only Shooting Love"
Great dance hit in the 80s.
Would you react to these songs?
- yesterday when I was young (Roy Clark)
- Memories ( Elvis Presley)
- the times of your life (Paul Anka)
Love your videos!!
Unrequited love
I go back & forth with this band. I'm usually down for the Eno - Lanois stuff, but there is no denying the magic that Lillywhite was able to get out of these guys in their earlier years. The sense of urgency is definitely missing in a lot of the later music, but I think that getting older does that.
HOME FREE - MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW
I wish bono didn't sell out monumentally
You're a beautiful woman and a loving soul inside your heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think you kinda had to be there. I was crazy about U2 in the early-mid 80s. The music was so powerful and moving. But, unlike a lot of other favorites of the era, I seldom listen to their albums anymore. I'm not sure why. Also, I think this song is much better in the context of the whole album experience. Not so true when an album has only one or two hit tracks. But, when an album all works and flows together it seems like any single song out of context is just prone cause a disappointing listen.
I still play war Joshua tree and especially achtung baby to this day ... I love this song
U2 is a great band. Could you please react to Di-rect - Soldier on ?
React One Sweet Day - Gabriel Henrique (Cover Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men)...
React Gabriel Henrique - Never Enough (The Greatest Showman)
React Gabriel Henrique - All By Myself (Cover Celine Dion)..
Hi.. Greedings from overseas.. Try some exotic stuff,, German music,,.. Check out :"Jennifer Rostock - Tauben aus Porzellan,,.. (about broken love.)... Or. :" Null positiv - wo Rauch ist, ist auch Feuer,, (sad, about war..).. *enjoy. Without understanding lyrics
Do, The Water Is Wide!!!! Whoever
Best band ever Angela, so only one reaction on U2 is not ok? Ok?
It's definitely not their best song, but it does have a great vibe to it. And it was a good album.
It is one of their best songs. It is not popular though. It is a perfect example of how skilled as musicians they are.
@@250278 you should check out Rick Beato's analysis of the song. He was pointing out that the instruments are playing different time signatures, apparently. That's what makes it very interesting. But it sounds more like a jam than anything else. When I say not their best song, I mean to the average listening ear.
100% agree with MAGNETO. I'm a U2 fan and was never really crazy about this song. But Rick Beato's analysis made me appreciate it and them much more, especially since it came so early in their career.
I'd say it's one of their very best (us U2 fans differ sometimes).
I LOVE U2, but in would agree on this one that I like the song quite a bit, but I don’t love it. There are so many better songs off the same album, War - Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year’s Day, Two Hearts Beat as One, 40.
Good album. Not one of their hit songs.
I thought it was ok but nothing special. U2 songs are big production numbers and not my cup of tea. But I don't dislike the group, just never got into their sound.
I'm a U2 fan, but this isn't a favorite.
Here are some very random suggestions:
1. World Party -- Ship of Fools
2. B52s -- Roam
3. Talking Heads -- Wild Wild Life
4. The Church -- Under the Milky Way
5. Sylvester -- You Make Me Feel Mighty Real
6. Eurythmics -- King and Queen of America
7. Aretha Franklin -- Chain of Fools
8. Diana Ross and the Supremes -- Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart
9. Randy Crawford -- Street Life
10. Robin S -- Show Me Love
11. Madonna -- Secret
12. U2 -- The Unforgettable Fire
13. Lenny Kravitz -- Fields of Joy
14. Prince -- Controversy
15. Culture Club -- Church of the Poisoned Mind
16. Cher -- Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
17. Boyce and Hart -- I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight
18. The The -- This is the Day
19. The Verve -- Bittersweet Symphony
20. Freda Payne -- Band of Gold
21. The Tams -- Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy
I did artists first and then song. Still, there ought to be a song or two you might want to try!
I've been a U2 fan for over 30 years & would say they've done far superior songs than this like every track on the Achtung Baby album for example.
This is actually one of my favorite songs of theirs that I feel is very underrated.
Angela 🥰 my dear what have you been smoking? Most definitely phone worthy. 📱📱📱📱📱📱
Hey my dear, not bad BUT much better U2 songs to react to like New Years Day, End of the World and Beautiful Day. This was a good tune but if unfamiliar with them, there are better places to start and much to enjoy. Live or studio they are great but their live shows are huge events, try End of the World live in Paris around 2016, that IS Entertainment and will blow you away. Give it a shot, you won't regret it. 🎵
Nah, this song may not have been a lead single but it's great. Much better than Beautiful Day.
@@PjRjHjTo each his own, for me it is a Much better song.
I love u2 but not that song sorry I’m being brutally honest 🤷♂️
I don’t care for this singing
Even after all these years, U2 still sux.
I respectfully disagree!😁 They officially started to suck after Achtung Baby was released.That was when they started to experiment with weird sounding music😝
@@christineobrien7707 that's when I ditched them. I bought every album up to and including the Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum. After that, they lost me.
@@magneto7930 Wise move on your part!😁 I still listen to the 80s U2. I have great memories of my teenage years through high school because of their music.
@@christineobrien7707 oh absolutely, wonderful memories! I loved their music in the 80s, after that it got a little weird and I jumped off the train.
@@magneto7930 You jumped the train before it crashed into Penn Station!😀Yikes! Sounds like a close call I tell ya!! There's 2 other bands that I can't listen to anymore.And that's probably because of hearing them too much. That would be Def Leppard, and Journey. Just hearing them now makes me 🤢🤑🤮 Steve Perry has an amazing voice. I came to believe that his voice was too good for the mediocre, generic sound of Journey.
U2 has so many better songs than this one!!
