    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.

      My partner who has BPD has just discarded me and immediately replaced me with another woman. I still love him so much and want the future we planned of having a family and growing old together. Strangely I showed him this beautiful video on the night we finally consummated our relationship. Now I can’t decide whether watching it is painful or helpful…

      I'm not the biggest U2 fan, though my older sister is definitely a super fan and has been since teens. And one thing I can say is nothing U2 will ever do is underrated. You're either a fan and you know every one of their songs or you aren't and you know 50% of their songs. But either way the art theyve created and used to help spread massive social injustices is something to be thankful for. They'll be putting out new albums up until their deathbed.

      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...

If U2 is currently played on the radio, it is from the Joshua Tree or War albums, etcetera.

Most of her life she was abused by people, yet she quietly still cared and forgave...We had marriage struggles but worked them out. We loved each other madly. We had a daughter in 10/25/ 99 but by Jan.12, 2001 Mary, my wife, died from bone cancer.. She was like Jesus to me...Now she walks with Him...and the Angels...

      My favourite too and I’m no means a u2 fan. But this song captures exactly the zeitgeist of my life when it came out. I was in Germany that summer, what a time and what a place. The song is focused elsewhere for obvious reasons, the personal meaning to u2, the us audience of course, but to me it captures early 90s Germany, not just the recording of video. Great times, sad, happy and hopeful with an element of fear of future and the scare of the past.

    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.

      If I ever got married, (I’m 42, probably won’t happen) I always said my first dance will be Luminous Times. ❤️

      You two chose a beautiful song. I can only imagine how you looked in each other’s eyes as you danced. How romantic!!

      Please forgive me if I got it wrong but isn't this about a working girl who gets used and abused and has has died emotionally ?

    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. 😂💚

    No hay nada que pueda decir que no se haya dicho ya. De las mejores canciones de U2. La melodía y la voz de Bono en el mejor punto, la guitarra de Edge que nunca volvió a sonar asi y solo nos regalo ese sonido en esta preciosa cancion, El grito desgarrador al decir "stay" es impresionante y pone los pelos de punta y el video impresionante.
    Mi existencia sin la presencia de estos irlandeses sería otra en su totalidad.
    Los amo mucho. Nunca dejen de existir.
    Larga vida a U2 y a todos sus seguidores.
    Algún día estaré en ese lugar donde filmaron esta joya.

      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

      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 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

      @@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

      @@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.
