When this album came out I listened to it over and over for at least a year straight. It was and still is (in my opinion) U2’s magnum opus. One of those albums that you know every sound of, every word, the singer’s every breath in and every breath out of, every beat, every count. This song in particular is beautiful!

Lyrically, this is probably the most beautiful song I know of. This and Louis Armstrong's Wonderful World. I'm not usually a poetic minded person, but I am an addict. Perhaps that is why this song gets to me like it does...

On January 23, 2019 I listened to this song and "Bad" from the Unforgettable Fire CD at work. The tears flowed freely and I wondered why I had such a reaction of all days. My beautiful daughter struggled with heroin addiction for almost 10 years and perished from that addiction sometime in the evening of the 22nd or early on the 23rd. My wife told me when I got home from work. I felt my daughter was speaking to me through this. I miss you so much Bryna Leigh. I am raising her 2 year old son now. Grampy's favorite band.

still gives me thrills all over my body....best band ever for me and due to nostalgia and youth memories, there will never ever be a better band for me. tanx for everything U2 !

Being a recovering person and being facilitated with this song before the addiction kicked off brings in such a rush of nostalgic coincidence…… I think it was this song that helped me get to the depths of U2 and being clean now all these years later it helps me appreciate what a fortunate soul I am.

The first U2's songs, so deeply impressive, this one sounds like a sweet ballad. There's common people's life, such a variety of feelings. Bono's voice is really superb (but don't forget Morten Harket, the A-ha singer, another style, of course, my best two singers). True music and true singers.

Joshua Tree never gets old! I can still play it non stop

My mom dated a guy for four years that really became a father figure to me but he became addicted to heroin and they split up. He was a big influence on me and since he was in the Navy I grew up and decided to join the Marines. When I graduated from basic training I learned that he overdosed when I was in training. It broke my heart that I couldn’t see him as a Marine. I miss you man. To everyone struggling with addiction, I pray for you. I hope you have the strength to overcome it

From u2’s best album and still their best song it is pure poetry.I have never experienced or dabbled in drugs and yet Bono’s voice and the lyrics convey what it’s like to be an addict.This is music.This is art.This is not Nicki Minaj.This is not One Direction.THIS MATTERS.And therefore will affect people and be remembered by all

Yes so true

I used to work as a volunteer with homeless people and a lot of them were heroin addicted. I knew this guy who I definetely knew was addicted and I was really frustrated because I knew his potential and I knew how damn hard he was wasting his life. One day we were talking about something and he was giving me bullshit and I said "Just stop, you remind me of a song (the guy used to play the guitar, as a matter of fact he carried his guitar everywhere; probably one of the few things he possessed)". And I told him about this song. He tried to know what was this song about and I just told him to just find the song and listen to it. The next day I didn't find him on the streets, neither on the next day. I didn't see him for like 9 months, I thought that he died from an overdose or something. And then he calls me (he didn't have a cellphone before, although sometimes he called me from payphones). He listened to the song and got really moved by it and I guess it was like a click he made back then. He decided to move from Lisbon to the south of Portugal so he wouldn't be around the same people as he was used to. He played the guitar for the tourists in Algarve (Portugal) and one day he was hired to play in a bar. And after that he returned to Lisbon where he managed to get a job also in a bar, playing for the customers. And as I know he is clean now, has a girlfriend he is going to marry and I just hope that the addiction is history. So, this song just reminds me how sometimes we have these moments when magic can really happen. This song for me is magical.

I got this album on tape aged 14 and this song punched me in the gut the whole album blew my mind

The Joshua Tree is the greatest thing ever recorded. But honestly, all their albums are classics.

+chinafakeeggs I know, I could spend an eternity talking about each song. All of the songs are powerful in their own right and just mesh together so well it never comes off as pretentious or overzealous. It's just perfect.

+chinafakeeggs That's how I feel with the October album, I listen to it in one sitting on a chilly, windy autumn day in October with the windows open.

+chinafakeeggs I love "All That You Can't Leave Behind", and "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb", "No Line in the Horizon" was ok, but Songs of Innocence is really good. I also really liked the single "Invisible". But it's true, their material is miles above anything put out by lousy artists.

+chinafakeeggs I listen to music like Mindy Smith, Ingrid Michelson, Kathleen Edwards, Mat Kearney, Ana Ternheim, Brandi Carlile, Courtyard Hounds, Courtney Jaye, give any of these artists a listen, they have amazing music. Plus I listen to a plethora of 80's and 90's music, and a little 70's every now and then.

+chinafakeeggs There is "some" good music out there, just that what's put on the radio is absolute garbage, your Katy Perry and what not are the life suckers of music. But try giving one of the artists I mentioned a listen, I suggest Mindy Smith, the albums "One Moment More" , "Long Island Shores" are really nice albums. She's sort of country/singer/song writer/contemporary adult pop, but very stripped down and down to earth.

This song is about addiction....but its not always drugs that kills your soul and takes over your life. This song hits hard for me, for all the inadequacy...the loss...lack of love...abandonment...being alone...and mental/emotional abuse the biggest loves of my life have given me. If being defeated paid, I'd be the wealthiest woman in the world...

I was a 14 year old lad in the north of England and I heard this song. I wasn't a massive U2 fan, I generally left that to my brother. Not sure why when i heard this song it touched me so much. I wrote the full verses and chorus in the back of my Religious Education ( compulsory English education at the time ) work book. A few weeks later our RE teacher pulled me to one side and said 'Gareth, did you write them words in the back of your book? They are beautiful' I was young but I think my heart told me if my teacher was so pleased about thinking it could be me then I couldn't shatter her illusion that the next English poet was coming from Preston, England in the school she was teaching... Mrs Ramsdam, top lass!

This grabs my heart. Bono must be an old soul. Love him

This song makes me feel..

When U2 were still class.

2:21 pure emotion. Shiver. Goose bumps.

Saw the Joshua Tree in 87, in L.A. They did the WHOLE album. This song was amazing.

Probably my most favorite album ever, saw them perform it live when they were filming Rattle and hum doc at ASU football stadium. .

I was there when it rained during "MLK", a very important moment in Arizona history. U2 is a spiritual experience, everytime I've seen them ( over 10 concerts). 🕯️

I lost a very dear friend 16 months ago,i haven't really grieved for her,am not sure how to,but this song helps me,every time i hear this i smile,with a tear in my eye. I miss you,we all do,your boys do xx

Love and hugs from an Internet stranger. ❤🫂

Kill me, but for me this track is the best U2 song ever.

I've seen people break down and cry during U2 concert when this song is played. they are the only rock band that has such power. they make grown men cry its def a band sent from God

Deeply moving, incredibly emotional & relatable song for me. 😭 RIP little bro 7/2/2014

It's December 2023. This is such a beautiful song. So many memories. ❤

one of the most beautiful songs ever made.

Absolutely love everything about this song. ...a real blast from my childhood. ,👌🏼

This song of my tweens, while reading my Stephen Kings book The Talisman, I have a whole soundtrack to this book. Ahhhh Youth to be young. And to Grow!

I love that book!

If someone like Adele or Harry Styles had written and recorded this song everyone would have been raving about them, saying how great they are. But for U2 this is just an album track, and that is what sets them apart from most others.

I don't play a lot of guitar these days, but when I do, this is still my favourite and I play it for others. Easy to play and great to sing with so much feeling. Great to listen to the original of course - nothing beats Bono at his best.
