I love the story the director told about how when they were making this video Bono saw the final cut and was mildly horrified bc he had never seen himself doing MacPhisto and it was a lot, especially with the effect the wide angle lens gave. He wanted to redo his parts of the video bc he felt insecure about it and Larry stepped in and said that there was no way he was going to redo it, that it was one of the best performances Bono had given. So Bono's original performance was what they used. It is funny to think Bono had never seen himself doing MacPhisto, but I actually think it explains a lot about how he was able to commit to such an outrageous character. That era of U2 was so amazing and it was awesome how willing they were to take such huge risks. Lemon is a truly incredible song that manages to be strange dance music on the surface with moments of heartbreaking beauty and fragility at its core. It has a complexity that is a signature of all of the best U2 songs and is completely unexpected at the same time. I love that this album has ended up being deeply beloved by the fans bc it was so ahead of its time and has aged extremely well.

Back when I first heard this song, it took me a minute or two to even recognise it was Bono singing in falsetto. Even when I realised it was Bono I thought he was making a guest appearance with a completely different band. When I finally realised it was in fact, U2, I was blown away. This was such a radical reinvention that they were almost unrecognisable. It's still impressive today. There are very few artists or bands that can deconstruct their own sound and reinvent themselves like this.

This entire album was way ahead of its time. I am 50 now in 2023 I knew it in 1993. Masterpiece. ❤

Sure it's not as good as the run from like 83-98, but few bands have runs that good.

Experimental. Odd. Weird. Innovative. Unique. Amazing... U2 pushed the envelope throughout the 90s and chose to stand out while others would keep on doing the same old thing. I'm glad U2 pushed that boundary and I love and respect their work from the 90s👌👍

In "Achtung Baby" they start to realize it's time to stop trying to emulate U.S. music, The Smiths and Joy Division and it's a great album...

Furthermore, *PoP* is also another brilliant U2 record that people were not even close to being ready for yet. *PoP* is my favourite U2 album release ever. Songs like Discotheque, Do You Feel Loved, MOFO, Staring at the Sun, Gone, Miami, The Playboy Mansion, If You Wear That Velvet Dress, Please, and Wake-up Dead Man - spectacular versatility and stellar musical performances, a complete absurdly underrated album of near experimental perfection. Nothing compare to 90's U2. Finally, U2's "No Line on the Horizon" is their greatest album past the year 2000, alongside one of their most impressive tours, their *360° Tour.*

@@huksohuksovich1945 The lyrics are based on a home video of Bono's mother where she is wearing lemon (yellow). She died when Bono was 14. "I have very few memories of my mother because my father never talked about her after she died," Bono writes in the band bio U2 by U2. "So it was a very strange experience to receive, in the post, from a very distant relative, Super 8 footage of my mother, aged 24, younger than me, playing a game of rounders in slow motion. This beautiful, young Irish girl, with a narrow waist, curvaceous figure, dark gypsy hair. The film was early color and it looked extraordinary. It was a wedding, where she was the maid of honor in this beautiful lemon dress." Of the lyrics Bono says, "There were two things going on at once, memory and loss, a portrait of a girl in a shimmering lemon dress that kept it sexy and playful and the pathos of a man separated from the things he loves... 'Lemon' is about leaving home, versus not leaving home."

Bono will never have these type of beautiful falsetto notes ever again. Sad but true. He's literally a top 10 pop singer in the world at this time. That includes the heavy weight divas like Whitney Houston, Mariah, Madonna. Zoo tv era bono is one of the greatest singers in history. You could train all your life and never be able to hit the falsetto notes that Bono hits here and he hits them so clearly and cleanly. It's impressive as hell. Still today.

I used to be a big fan of U2 at some point, but I don't know what happened that made me stop listening to their music. However, one thing is for sure: this song is a masterpiece

Lemon See through in the sunlight She wore lemon But never in the daylight She's gonna make you cry She's gonna make you whisper and moan And when you're dry She draws her water from the stone And I feel Like I'm slowly slipping under And I feel Like I'm holding onto nothing She wore lemon To colour in the cold grey night She had heaven And she held on so tight A man makes a picture A moving picture Through the light projected He can see himself up close A man captures color A man likes to stare He turns his money into light to look for her And I feel Like I'm drifting from the shore And I feel Like I'm swimming out to her Midnight is where the day begins Lemon See through in the sunlight A man builds a city With banks and cathedrals A man melts the sand so he can See the world outside You're gonna meet her there A man makes a car She's your destination And builds roads to run them on You gotta get to her A man dreams of leaving She's imagination But he always stays behind And these are the days When our work has come assunder And these are the days When we look for something other A man makes a picture A moving picture Through the light projected He can see himself up close You're gonna meet her there A man captures colour She's your destination A man likes to stare There's no sleeping there He turns his money into light She's imagination To look for her Lemon She is the dreamer She's imagination She had heaven Through the light projected He can see himself up close She wore lemon

I think subconsciously or consciously Bono was influenced by Peter Gabriel's performance art of Genisis in the early-mid 70s. I remember interview quotes from PG saying how much he enjoyed the Zoo TV tour.

I remember listening to this album in 1993 at Phipp’s Plaza in Atlanta. Bought the cd, so many memories from that weekend. This is the perfect song to sum up that weekend.

His voice is brilliant…

I was listening to this in the back seat of my mate's car while on acid. I kept drifting off and going into a world of my own which I thought went on for hours. Everytime I came back into the car this song was still playing. Absolute bliss!

Amazing!! Thanks U2 for uploading your music videos again. They were deeply missed in KZread.

@@StratsRUs I think their later output post 2001 is patchy and not as great but does contain some incredible nuggets. I think it is definitely worth they carried on. One of my favourite albums is 2014s No Line on the Horizon. Criminally overlooked and produced by Eno. It has some great if more understated tunes and goes more for atmosphere than stadium chants. Apart from Get on Your Boots it's a classic. Whereas 'Songs of Innocence' is by far the worst album they have made. Strangely their album art also massively deteriorated too. The cover of Songs of Innocence is just plain terrible and NLOH is one of the most dull album covers in history. Surrounded by too many 'yes' people at that stage.

@@StratsRUs R.E.M. were like the American U2 to me. Got all their albums. Incredible band. Actually some of REM's later stuff has been overlooked too. Reveal is a fantastic album, but no one seems to rate it, because it was a post-Bill Berry release. Same with Pink Floyd and Division Bell which was a post Roger Waters release, so everybody dismissed it. There will never be bands like U2 and REM again. They were alternative in lyrics and intelligence, but had a mainstream appeal too. A VERY difficult feat to pull off. I remember seeing U2 on the Zoo TV Tour in Leeds in 1993 and seeing them fly in on helicopter and the TV screens and the buzz of the fans was just other-worldly on a rainy miserable night in north Yorkshire. What a life they have had.

Prince would have loved this song. Great job U2 Bono, so incredible.

I would say POP is their most overlooked album. Another genius record. Zooropa won the Grammy for best alternative album, and sold like 4 million copies just in the US in the first year or so. But I know what you mean, it rarely comes up when people talk about U2’s best work, and in that sense it is still badly overlooked.

Better than anything U2 recorded after 2000

Quite possibly the best song of the 90s

One of the very best songs of their entire career. Kind of overlooked too, Mysterious Ways and The Fly always get mentioned but this is easily as good if not better.

The sound of Lemon is incredibly vibrating. Every song in Zooropa has its own.

I WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS!!!

Asi fue como yo empeze a apreciar a U2, con la cancion Numb y despues el resto del disco de Zooropa. Ahora, yo habia escuchado una que otra de sus canciones en la radio pero me parecia algo comercial comparado con la intensidad que U2 tiene en Zooropa. Despues de eso entendi que este grupo tiene un catagolo de musica increible al cual yo no le estaba prestando mucha atencion. En ese entonces yo estaba obsecionado con Heavy Metal y Prog Rock. Lo mismo me paso con Madonna, pero eso es otra historia.

Probably because the vocals are just too tough to do, frankly.

Striking song! I remember where I was the 1st time I ever heard it. I deployed soon after and didn’t hear it again until 25-30 years later. However, this song stuck with me all those years as one of my favorite U2 songs. Really takes me back to time I miss.

I've been listening this song from decades. Lately very latery I've come to truly understand this song just today, I felt like it's telling my story, my exact situation. Bono's act isn't weirer at all. He is illustrating how helpless a man can be, doing almost everything but in the end he's just a clown, knowing everything he put smile on his face, man knows it all but have actually nothing to do, man has a destination, the heaven in her draws him in, but she wore lemon. The man is in disguise and his day begins in midnight, sleepless night and the night with her. Man knowing everything keeps her in imagination, a man can't scape. Man look for something other, man can't. Man walks, man runs some time fast and sometime slow. Man runs after but she wore lemon. Bono's act at 3.36 to 3.46 minutes says it all. In the end man takes it all.

Bono’s voice, his high notes are mind blowing, I loved the Zoo TV Tour at the NEC, to have Achtung Baby and then tracks from the Zooropa album as well was genius.. LEMON 🍋

Zooropa was one of the first CDs I ever purchased. I never stopped playing it. Bought the bootleg gold vinyl a decade ago and wore it out. Lost my mind when they finally officially reissued the black vinyl double LP few years ago. Zooropa is a masterpiece. This is one of my favorite songs and I have so many memories attached to it..happiness, being young, being in love. I still play this album regularly. Johnny Cash singing The Wanderer is one of the best album closers in history.

Sitting waiting for my flight to Mexico City the sound of u2 in the waiting area ...went to cdmx and bought zooropa on a cassette ,, love it good memories

One of the U2 songs that I have to hear everyday.

In retrospect, Bono as Macphisto, in my view, resembles the late Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk. I wonder if Florian was an influence, especially from the Man Machine era with the makeup and lipstick. Hmm, Achtung... Hansa...Berlin... I've always thought Bono was also channeling Lou Reed Metal Machine with Bono's The Fly persona. Again, machine... man... machine... This video is also a great tribute to and draws inspiration fro the automatic electro-photographs of Eadweard Muybridge's 'The Horse in Motion'. For me, this 'remaster' of the Numb video is a nice surprise, floods me with memories too bittersweet to digest.
