When their career is finally over, U2 will not only leave behind one of the biggest footprints in the history of rock, they'll leave behind one of the biggest footprints in the history of music. Their 'competition' isn't just rock legends like The Beatles, Elvis, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones-- it's people like Mozart, Beethoven, Duke Ellington, and George Gershwin. Anyone who doesn't understand this needs to listen to U2's ENTIRE catalog, which rivals anyone's-- EVER.

This is one of those songs, (and there is at least one or two on every U2 album), that sneak up on you, and despite not getting a ton of airplay, grows into your soul til the point that it may be one day put on the mount rushmore of U2s best work. Like a previous poster said, this song is a great on cd or youtube, but after being lucky enough to see it live, it was more like a religious experience. Even seeing it on youtube still brings chills. How do these guys continue to have that effect?

The last part of the lyrics: Life is short It’s the longest thing you’ll ever do The worst of the curse Was that your dreams came true God is a mirror in which each man sees himself God is a place where you don’t need any help When I first met you, your face was like snow What about wherever you wanted to go Your face, your grace, your lipstick trace Your case as you put it down 8.17 on the ground Your faith in a clown Don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now Alone in the sun Don’t leave me now Alone in the sun

Others - major U2 websites had that part wrong as well- no biggie. Just wanted corrected, because it is the unbelievable poem, I cry each time I see it- and have seen it probably 100 of times by now.

This song is like a fine wine. For me it has gotten and continues to get better with time. The ending with Edge playing those beautifully solemn notes and Bono's added verse is the best part of this song. Goosebumps. And I love the fact that Larry contributes on vocals...

The worse, the curse was that your dreams came true.....

What a beautifully deep song. The struggle to be open, begging to be real, begging to get past ourselves and see ourselves in connection to everyone around us, the vision over visibility, seeing past everyone's external skin "bodies" and seeing what unites us all, our loves our fears. We have far more in common with each other than we allow ourselves to feel because we love our separateness. It's gives us a sense of control, of security, even though it's a false sense because ultimately it's lonely in the end to be a soul who keeps their heart guarded, to keep a certain distance, to never let a person fully in. And we hate it in ourselves but too afraid to relinquish it.

I really love this song too. Bono is just so much on top of bringing the emotion to songs.

This is such an amazing song, it brings tears to my eyes.

This is prime U2 era. Im 25 years old. This is my favorite all time band. I dont recall exactly how, I wish I could, but my dad would listen to them all the time on drives and what not. Didnt take long for me to latch on to their unique sound. I was perhaps in the first or second grade. Finally got to take the trip to TO from Buffalo, NY and saw them live on my 18th birthday -- a night forever engrained in my memory. This song in specific would soothe me as a continuously anxious younger kid. The tranquil vibe. Thank you U2. Thank you so much. I will die on the hill that U2 is the best band of ALL time. Longevity, all 4 are masters at their individual crafts/instruments -- scandal free (dont even bring up the ITunes thing), drug free, all original members. Cant say enough.

The iTunes wasn't a scandal. It brought them a new generation of fans. How comes Beyonce did it before them but she never got grief? Grief from dumb people who are too lazy to switch off automatic downloads as soon as they got a new phone. They are also too lazy to lock their doors before they go out and wonder why they have been burgled. Nowadays people who don't switch it off receive a new album every week

Arguably U2's greatest song.........

Simply amazing,what a poet Bono is,and Edge is gifted musically

Probably one of my favorite songs ever.

One of the most beautiful songs from U2.

The most beautiful one

I tied myself with wire To let the horses run free Playing with the fire Until the fire played with me The stone was semi-precious We were barely conscious Two souls too smart to be In the realm of certainty Even on our wedding day We set ourselves on fire Oh God, do not deny her It's not if I believe in love If love believes in me Oh, believe in me At the moment of surrender I folded to my knees I did not notice the passers-by And they did not notice me I've been in every black hole At the altar of the dark star My body's now a begging bowl That's begging to get back, begging to get back To my heart And to the rhythm of my soul And to the rhythm of my unconsciousness To the rhythm that yearns To be released from control I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine I could see in the reflection A face staring back at me At the moment of surrender Of vision over visibility I did not notice the passers-by And they did not notice me I was speeding on the subway Through the stations of the cross Every eye looking every other way Counting down 'til the pentecost At the moment of surrender Of vision of over visibility I did not notice the passers-by And they did not notice me

Saw them in Philly this summer. This was the last song of the show. To say the show completely altered my state of mind would be an understatement. It was hands down the greatest experience of my life. Dont go through life without seeing them live, folks. You can watch all the youtube videos you want but there nothing like hearing 100,000 people singing and chaninting together.

Bono singing with an attitude! Love it. And edge this is up there with love is blindness.. watching Larry sing is great too!!!god how many people can relate to this song..yes! Love the scream at the end!

10 years later and the ending rap still moves me. This band is very courageous sometimes. "This song is near to our hearts so we'll play it as the closer instead of a warhorse rocker song like Vertigo. Damned if it's a slow moving ballad that's quite unknown and this is a stadium of 50,000 people. We know it's a great song so we'll play it!"

I have been a fan of these, four gentlemen form Ireland, for many years. I've been recently going through older songs or songs that i never really payed attention to. This is now one of my favorite songs, actually there's a couple of them. My only wish, is to see them live, once! U2 The greatest band in the world. The greatest live band in the world...enough said

Stay strong brother, you got this.

When I first heard this, I thought, wow, this is really good, then I realized it is very deep. It's about a heroin addiction and crashing. It's about loosing everything you have, including loved ones and yourself. Having been there, not heroin, but alcohol, I fell in love with this song. I am a huge U2 fan, maybe the biggest, many of their lyrics are spiritual, but also deal with life and it's struggles. Having been the A17 on the ground a few times, I love this song because of the deepness

Banda mais linda do mundo. Amo essa música! Que voz linda do Bono. Que talento!

Life is short but it’s the longest thing you’ll ever do Bono 🥰❤️

Still love this song from 'No Line...' 'was playing with the fire til the fire played with me'

This is unreal live, up there with the greatest U2 songs. Wish they played this on tours post 360. The passionate fury in Bono’s voice on the entrance - “Tied myself with wire” - gives me chills

As a grown man, the only song that can put me into tears, well done U2..

This song effuses with wonderment and humility. Simply and distinctly brilliant!

shivers every time to good

Fantastic words , I love this song

Words cannot express what its like to see this band live, in person, when they play their back catalogue along with future classics like this song. The raw emotion and passion drips and pours with every lick and verse. I get chills listening to moment of surrender, especially when performed live. Of the newer material its the one i keep going back to. You cannot replace God or love with songs & verse, but you can replace everything else. I would imagine this is what that sounds like.

JEEEZ how do they come up with songs like this 30 years after starting out. most bands 10 years in would struggle to come up with anything new yet thease guys keep bringing it to the table

When you see a performance like this you are really able to connect emotionally to the music, something all musicians should strive to do in my opinion

Une pure merveille, oh que j aime l écouter !

By far one of their greatest songs, studio version is fantastic but it’s live when it really comes to life! I used to think that this song would have fitted nicely with their Zooropa album.

i was there live in montreal outdoors and it was raining like crazy just before the song started , ended the show with this , it was crazy

Brilliant song… 20 years ago, I could know Bono & The edge being a young spaniard porter at their hotel in Dublin.. Golden years of hope & youth for me in the Green Island.. Following this band since I was 12 .. I tied myself with wire To let the horses run free Playing with the fire Until the fire played with me The stone was semi precious We were barely conscious Two souls too smart to be In the realm of certainty Even on our wedding day We set ourselves on fire A girl could not deny her Its not if I believe in love If love believes in me Oh believe in me At the moment of surrender I'm falling to my knees I did not notice the passers by And they did not notice me I've been in every black hole At the alter of a Dark star My body s now begging Though it's begging to get back Begging to get back To my heart To the rhythm of my soul To the rhythm of my consciousness To the rhythm of yes To be released from control I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine I could…

Wonderful. ...nothing more to say. ...wonderful!

Dit nummer moet volgend jaar no 1 staan in de top 1000. Vind dit ook een van hun beste nummers.

This song is amazing and at the same time very spooky...its hard not to be moved when watching this video or listening to this especially in a live setting. The spoken word at the end that begins "life is short but it's the longest thing you'll ever do...." is very haunting. We are merely human, flesh & blood with some bones in the mix, this song reminds us of the soul. WIthout it we all melt away eventually...the spirit remains....give into the spirit. This is U2 at or very near their best.

siempre una delicia escuchar su voz , su musica ...viva u2

This live performance is better than on the album. You know it's a special band. But Bono's voice is beyond special, otherworldly, a gift to this world.

This is a great masterpiece! This song, already beautiful even on the album, reaches here very high peaks of pathos and poignant meaning. There is no equal, this is truly unattainable
