Beautifully said. In case you haven't heard Cassandra Wilson's version; it's phenomenal. czcams.com/video/q4mlH1lpt5g/video.html&ab_channel=BrianPollard
I was in my 20s losing myself in this masterpiece feeling that love can conquer all… Now I am 45 even harsh moments I decide to keep faithful with this true for me. Love can conquer all…
This was the only time I was able to hear the guitar solo evoke the sound of a soul crying and bleeding at the same time, thank you Edge and Bono for demonstrating the dying of the spirit in this cold world.
my bro died on the mean streets of vancouver last winter in a deep freeze that scared the hell out of me ---even though i didn't know at that time. i was not even able to put any sound to my pain until i listened to this!!!!! THANK God for U2
When I was growing up, my two older brothers were huge fans of this band. A few of their songs got my attention, a couple of them remain in my collection to this day. But this song pierced me in a way that nothing else U2 ever recorded, did. It's not so much the words, although I love the words in the first two verses it's more the slow and melancholy overtone of the whole song, that really spoke to the loneliness and hopelessness I was feeling at the time I first heard this song. High School voter with a death wish. Now I'm coming up on 48 years old and I have realized that the very best songs I have ever come across in my life never make the charts. They never get the respect and honor and attention they deserve.
Maybe those songs are not meant for the charts but rather for the most passionate listeners who can really feel their music. It is like a hidden gem meant only for some souls to find and explore.
Love is blindness I don't want to see Won't you wrap the night Around me? Oh my heart Love is blindness In a parked car In a crowded street You see your love Made complete Thread is ripping The knot is slipping Love is blindness Love is clockworks And cold steel Fingers too numb to feel Squeeze the handle Blow out the candle Love is blindness Love is blindness I don't want to see Won't you wrap the night Around me? Oh my love Blindness A little death Without mourning No call And no warning Baby, a dangerous idea That almost makes sense Love is drowning In a deep well All the secrets And no one to tell Take the money Honey Blindness Love is blindness I don't want to see Won't you wrap the night Around me? Oh my love Blindness
I hope the band looks back on that era with pride. Achtung Baby! was - IS - just great on all fronts; music lovers will be listening to that album in perpetuity. It really is THAT good.
@@AdamBlack I agree that live version releases would be amazing but we'll have to agree to disagree on the live album versions, I maintain that they really are great.
The live version in Sidney from the ZooTV tour, is more touching and heartbreaking. Bono seems to dig in the deep of his soul sided with vibrating notes coming out from the Edge's guitar. They are magic together, and I love them all ❤⭐
Como recuerdo esta cancion,es algo extraña pero se me ha quedado en mi memoria. Ya con 60 años que tengo aún me gusta la calidad del grupo U2. Wonderfull😊😊
I love you M, I have never forgotten you and you still hold a big piece of my heart, probably he biggest. This was our song, the number 12. We played it over and over again, for us... Listening to it now brings back so many memories, you would never know.
Agreeing with most the comments saying this is underrated. I think musicians appreciate this song more than people looking a fun vibe. If you commented here, I compliment your taste!
When I was in my teens and first heard this, I wasn't too impressed by this song. However, with each passing year I appreciated it more and more. Now i'm convinced it is an underrated masterpiece.
I can't seem to find any suitable word to describe this song. Maybe epic or astonishing... I could call it a masterpiece but that's too easy. U2 have created many masterpieces. This is not their best song imo, but certainly one of their top creations.
@@arlinehazelwood2475 I actually opened this account so i can have a little time for fans and know how some of you feel about me and the band precisely.
Para mi una de las mejores canciones de U2, esta version es buena, pero para mi, es increible la version en directo de Zootv en australia.... se me ponen los pelos de punta cada vez que la escucho, el sentimiento, el tempo, todo lo que transmiten es increible.... y que despues de mas de 30 años sea como un buen vino, cada año mejor....grandes U2....
Being in love and sadness are the subjects of this extraordinary ballad and besides The edge and his guitar are the perfect support for this good voice. Thanks U2.
*ZOOTV it marked a before and after in the tours of rock bands !!! It is what they live to support themselves; today with the PANDEMIC, it is something complicated, a pity !!!*
"Fingers too numb to feel" "Won't you wrap the night Around me" "A little death Without mourning" So after reading your comment, I'll never watch Stoker's Dracula in the same way again. What a fantastic suggestion and those lyrics I've shared are bizarrely very fitting for that movie. It's a good shout my friend! Bravo.
This song brings back always sad memories, but also very precious and dear. When I was sitting next to my husbands bed in the hospital after they turned off his breathing machine. I was aloud to listen to my special playlist of songs from U2 and at this song (number 9) his heart stopped beating and he was gone forever 😪💔
YES U2 LOVE IS BLINDNESS. But i love this song even tho Edge has such sad haunting music playing. I still love this song. ty n happy new years eve to u and yours

One of the cases where no words can explain the feelings. This is art, much more than entertainment. A work of art. A masterpiece.
I am with you my friend aren't they incredible this album my goodness and all of their songs I struggle to choose a favourite when I think of trying.

@@paullakowski2509 Sorry for your loss paul. 😢
True. Try Jimi Hendrix, though. Not to compare, just to discover.
The Edge's solo version is so sick as well.
This is haunting and beautiful at the same time. A lot of heartache and pain in the solo live version Sydney.
It's astounding how many really really good songs U2 produced. And they didn't follow musical fads. They did their own thing and it was great.
Everybody is praising Radiohead and they are great but they dont have the songs like U2 has.
@@Sharkwhisperer don't let it become a competition. There are many great bands out there. We can enjoy them all.
I totally forgot about this song. Haven't heard it in a number of years. What a beautiful song.
After many many years being fan of U2 I saw this song Live at the Sphere 😢😢 in tears ❤
Absolute chills when they played it. Loved that concert
This song is a work of art. Zoo TV Sydney version elevates it to another level entirely
Definitely.
agree.....Sydney live
Yep. And WAY better than THIS cheap and crappy video...
when they closed ZooTV concert with this....chilling - Huge melancholy afterwards!!

This song pulls the ghost of past lovers out of me...hauntingly beautiful.

@@MrJson1006 well played.

Aptly put 👍🏻
So true
one of the all time greatest U2 songs, a masterpiece.
Totally agree with you.
Without question this song is a like fine wine, it has only gotten better with age.
Definitely
Haunting.
Really? This airy fairy mess?
2:33 sounds like Edge is tuning his guitar.
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my heart
Love is blindness
In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness
Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my love
Blindness
A little death
Without mourning
No call
And no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense
Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Honey
Blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my love
Blindness

Zootv and the live versions are phenomenal.
They should put out live versions of Achtung& pop.
@@AdamBlack I agree that live version releases would be amazing but we'll have to agree to disagree on the live album versions, I maintain that they really are great.
This is a masterful song, weaving despair and sorrow into an amazing guitar riff at the end
* Guitar solo
Love U2 💞💞💞 Adam Clayton 💞 The Edge 💞 Larry Mullen 🥁 💞 Bono 💞💞🇧🇷
🥰🥰
Incredible
U2=my childhood 🇪🇨
One of the most beautiful masterpiece from U2.
Another masterpiece. Achtung Baby will forever live rent free in my head and heart.
Achtung baby was a masterpiece, zooropa was a brilliant album, they were never able to reach that level again.
Hauntingly prophetic song. A different sound from U2 that doesn’t get played very often.
This is soundtrack music. Achingly melancholic and beautiful.
Haunting, hurting, moveing - masterpiece
So well said!
Underrated song ❤ one of the best songs ever
The live version in Sidney from the ZooTV tour, is more touching and heartbreaking. Bono seems to dig in the deep of his soul sided with vibrating notes coming out from the Edge's guitar. They are magic together, and I love them all ❤⭐

Bono's lyrics at its best....
There is so much aching love in this song! Still meaningful and profound after all these years...
Hello,how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
best solo ever
Probably their best song!
My gosh,I consider myself a huge U2 fan,how could I have forgotten this gem..Edge you beauty
One of the great tunes that sadly took a back seat after Zoo TV. Hopefully the boys will consider playing it live again.
Yes, that would be so nice to hear live again!
This song is a masterpiece. Hauntingly beautiful. ❤
Hello,how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.

Achtung Baby : the BEST U2 album....

Forse la + bella canzone degli U2🐱
3:36 Probably on of the best parts ever recorded. So emotional. 😭 This made me a U2 fan back in the days.
YES. That and the face at the mic at 3:42 - amazing.
Best bit is 2:56 to 4,04
''Love is blindness - I don't want to see''
Brilliant song. Amazing album. Their best imo.
Zooropa is #1.
Beautiful Song!!!
La mejor canción de U2 de todos los tiempos :)
Completamente de acuerdo
Greatest band on the planet right here. Wish they were still this brilliant...
They are and will be.
@@MorganBrunson I'm hoping the next album will be.
Alongside with "Acrobat" my favourite song from AB. Musical sorrow.
