This will be in my playlist forever.

Well said. It's timeless right along with Stairway To Heaven and November Rain! All are masterpieces!!

Sounds like 87 to me and there's nothing wrong with that.

For a while I thought it was from 1996.

I thought it was a song from the 90's for a long time. Great song.

what same.@@salvadoramaya8642

I couldn’t imagine how that felt. Sounds beautiful

1987?? No había nacido aún !! Y ahora en 2022 en mi canción favorita 😍

Lovely sentiment, much love in these dark times

I was 24!😂 I felt the same way!

@@tamilanger600 😅🤣

Yes, i agree

Eric J agree 100%.

Rock on Eric

Nah

Yes it is

poor little palestinian babies you mean. sponsors of genocide. Shame on you U2, we will boycot you forever. Good thing you are already old.

I am a white bloke, I was born in a slum in Northern England.My surname is Irish. Irish blood then. I have a few years on you but we're a similar vintage. Your last sentence is true and beautiful. Bless you sweet child of this world. Bono became a bit odd, but this era was amazing. Peace and love to you. May I call you Sister ?

That's real... Beautiful words.

me too bro i’m 56 feels like im 21❤

The Black Telephone Those of us old enough to remember when the phone was wired to the wall, usually in the kitchen, can relate to this story. I loved this read. When I was a young boy, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember the polished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver hung on the side of the box.. I was too little to reach the telephone, but used to listen with fascination when my mother talked to it. Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person. Her name was "Information Please" and there was nothing she did not know. Information Please could supply anyone's number and the correct time. My personal experience with the genie-in-a-bottle came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. Amusing myself at the tool bench in the basement, I whacked my finger with a hammer, the pain was terrible, but there seemed no point in crying because there was no one home to give sympathy. I walked around the house sucking my throbbing finger, finally arriving at the stairway. The telephone! Quickly, I ran for the footstool in the parlor and dragged it to the landing. Climbing up, I unhooked the receiver in the parlor and held it to my ear. "Information, please," I said into the mouthpiece just above my head. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear. "Information." "I hurt my finger..." I wailed into the phone, the tears came readily enough now that I had an audience.. "Isn't your mother home?" came the question "Nobody's home but me," I blubbered. "Are you bleeding?" the voice asked "No, "I replied. "I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts." "Can you open the icebox?" she asked. I said I could. "Then chip off a little bit of ice and hold it to your finger," said the voice. After that, I called "Information Please" for everything. I asked her for help with my geography, and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math. She told me my pet chipmunk that I had caught in the park just the day before, would eat fruit and nuts. Then, there was the time Petey, our pet canary, died. I called, "Information Please," and told her the sad story. She listened, and then said things grown-ups say to soothe a child. But I was not consoled. I asked her, "Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a heap of feathers on the bottom of a cage?" She must have sensed my deep concern, for she said quietly, " Wayne , always remember that there are other worlds to sing in." Somehow I felt better. Another day I was on the telephone, "Information Please." "Information," said in the now familiar voice. "How do I spell fix?" I asked All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest . When I was nine years old, we moved across the country to Boston . I missed my friend very much. "Information Please" belonged in that old wooden box back home and I somehow never thought of trying the shiny new phone that sat on the table in the hall. As I grew into my teens, the memories of those childhood conversations never really left me. Often, in moments of doubt and perplexity I would recall the serene sense of security I had then. I appreciated now how patient, understanding, and kind she was to have spent her time on a little boy. A few years later, on my way west to college, my plane put down in Seattle . I had about a half-hour or so between planes. I spent 15 minutes or so on the phone with my sister, who lived there now. Then without thinking what I was doing, I dialed my hometown operator and said, "Information Please." Miraculously, I heard the small, clear voice I knew so well. "Information." I hadn't planned this, but I heard myself saying, "Could you please tell me how to spell fix?" There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken answer, "I guess your finger must have healed by now." I laughed, "So it's really you," I said. "I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to me during that time?" "I wonder," she said, "if you know how much your calls meant to me. I never had any children and I used to look forward to your calls." I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and I asked if I could call her again when I came back to visit my sister. "Please do," she said. "Just ask for Sally." Three months later I was back in Seattle . A different voice answered, "Information." I asked for Sally. "Are you a friend?" she said. "Yes, a very old friend," I answered. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this," She said. "Sally had been working part time the last few years because she was sick. She died five weeks ago." Before I could hang up, she said, "Wait a minute, did you say your name was Wayne ?" " "Yes." I answered. Well, Sally left a message for you. She wrote it down in case you called. Let me read it to you. The note said, "Tell him there are other worlds to sing in. He'll know what I mean." I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant. Never underestimate the impression you may make on others. Whose life have you touched today?

rest in peace to your beautiful mother she had good music taste

My condolences amigo. She will always live in your heart. Your mom had good taste in music.

Stay strong my friend.

We won't let it happen

No More NOCH MORE

Bono is a very demonic guy these days. He has an alter ego called "Mephisto", the name of a biblical demon, he uses to abuse people who represent the light. I don't know what is happening but it's kind of spooky stuff.

I'm not Christian btw. It's just that what he does in that form is really overt.

@@mral4381 overt

Hey there - How aol r u as I've been having the same opinion since 1987 - I listen to this track at least 4 times a day since then.....OMG it is so brilliant!!!

@@davideley7253 I was 13 when this came out in 87 & I agree with you, brilliant!

P.

Yes, guitar section is so so well done. Monumental song. 🔥

Agree, I'm not a musician. But the slow building momentum of the song is awesome.

I'm gonna have to disagree. This song transcends genre, calling it one of the greatest rock songs limits it. It's one of the best songs ever, period.

@@snormax7691you are most definitely correct by saying that

Yes

@@snormax7691 it's on my playlist of 56 songs so I can't disagree

Now this is true.

I think it’s actually the infinity guitar that they got lent doing that.

Definitely timeless 🙌

best song ever

God bless her !!!!

🙏 sorry for your loss.

I just lost mine 2 days ago. 😢😢😢. A pain that will last me forever.

True!

Oh yes 👍

You will find peace. Sorry about what ur going through. I was there before years ago and now I have found my best friend. My wife. She’s awesome. Be patient. Believe me. This is coming from someone who isn’t patient but have come along way. Still improving. God bless you

Thats beautiful. I wish the best for your family.

Darling i feel you

I'm feeling the same, living in another country that isn't yours... I miss my mom, so much.

Xxx

Should some credit have gone to Donald Marshall, Bono ?

You forgot the whoooooooooooooooo. Whoooooooooooooooooooooooo

@@Stevesbackup That's called keening or wailing. You have to realise Bono wrote this about a stark choice: band or marriage.

thank you! i just discovered this song, was really nice to read along

​@@Stevesbackup😁

Totally agree with you

Nice by the way

Pretty

It's in a whole class of its own.

Yeah, it doesn't even sound anything like the era it was written in even, that being 1987. Truly timeless.

100%

These guys are really special and they deserve to keep playing without anyone haunting them in this song.

broooo!

Sorry for your loss xxx

Crazy story I can relate too my dads favorite song he passed away when I had cancer at age 45 I was 14 now I’m 25 with my 2 daughters I know my dad is watching over me an my family crying to the song rn

It was a perfect storm of talent from the band and "the mix wizard" behind the top noch mix table (that produce that extra magic you hear but are always neglected or forgoten...) and all the real analog and digital music gear etc., giving us timeless masterpiece.

@@HornetBojan 00QQZZŻQ

@@tomaszsidor603 Yes ...

The song is fine but had to be remastered, cause Bono just can't sing. Tragic but true.

With or without Norma

Stop showing off.

@@obi4830 Are you ok?

They didn't make the greatest collection of songs of all time like Beatles or Led Zeppelin but when U2 made a good song, mother of god... it was a _good_ song.

Likewise....one of the best songs ever made.

Well said.😊

Larry and Adam lay down the rhythm that allows Edge and Bono to be absolutely brilliant.

Wait until you mimic this song and hit all Bono's notes! It's an incredible achievement of mine !!

At age 52, never again.

❤❤❤

✌️😎

The complexity of real artists.

Thanks to Donald Marshall ?

80s so many classics

Hi I Recommend A song called 'the Bond Villain' By Robert Nix

Indeed bono is incredible, love this song over the rest of U2 and over a lot of masterpieces of other groups

It has solid melody but also such deep sentiment

Hello, how are you doing today

✌️💜🙏 from Australia!!

A crescendo of beautifully played notes, and it is the perfect climax to this timeless classic. 😊

Absolutely! From 4:05 onwards it is pure masterclass sound of e-guitar, perfectly played, full of emotion

I wish they brought back another buildup and Ohs to end it. So powerful I want to hear it again ;)

That’s what I love about this song. The instruments and vocals just keep getting more intense and the chorus and verses are never completely the same.

I’m sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing.

Hey Brother,I am sorry.

Sorry you won’t be able to see your dad. Tough to say good bye during this difficult times. I lost my grandfather and my cousin and it’s tough to not be able to attend their funerals

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your loss. My dad loves this song too. I listen this song every time we have a conflict

I was 20 years old in 1987 when this song was released. Great song back then and still a great song now.

I was 18 and heading to the Air Force. This song stayed on the airwaves in Wichita Falls, TX. One of my most memory Tech School period songs.

Thank you Sometimes I wait for and yearn for that validation from trustworthy friends like you W/o ever meeting you

IDEM 🇨🇵🙌🏽

I now 45 and this is one of the best songs ever!! When I listen to this song I feel 18 again@

Yup was 9. . Im 40 now and still love it.

Born in 1994... I hate music nowadays. I wish I were born in the 80s. Or in the 60s.

Same… just 9 years younger 💚

Yup. No matter it came out in 1987. It was still relevant for Friends to use it in 1995. 🎬

but the singer get old

U2 songs just seem to get even better with time. Joshua Tree is epic.

It’s sooo true/moving… I absolutely love it❤️

70s 80s in Miami north Miami.

Indeed dont be a mess, bless

I first heard it in 9th grade. It gives me chills everytime I hear it.

🎯 Remember the media's astroturfed backlash against them for having a song on an ipod? 🙄 U2 didn't deserve that manufactured backlash...Bono got the IMF debt forgiven for 3rd world countries for chrissakes. The economist Michael Hudson calls the US the loan shark of the world using IMF/World Bank to strip nations of their assets. Long live Bono's debt cancellation jubilee! The real jubilee is debt jubilee & land re-distribution. The original Summarian bible said: debt forgiveness and land re-distribution ie debt jubilee, Leviticus 25, prior to the Greek translation. Western civilization is the first civilization to eschew this (Michael Hudson). "Civilization is madness." - Freud "Can't see the right road when the roads are paved." - Bob Marley from Concrete Jungle, African Herbman

Yes me too I own The Joshua Tree cd I am so glad everyone loves my music.

It still gives me goose bumps.

Reminds me when things were good I. Terrified

It’s so in-depth isn’t it and meaningful, love this song!! Can’t ever get sick and or bored of it

It is pure beauty.

I was 4 in 87 🙂

So was Bono's muse, his wife Alison at the time, she was pregnant with their first daughter when he wrote the song.

I named my eldest son Joshua after the Joshua Tree alhum. He was born in 1995, I was 19. Still touches me in my soul.

@@veggieaussiechick I was 12. U2 shaped my idea of music!

That is so true

Es difícil recordar tantas cosas bellas de la juventud, todo era tan fácil y tan complicado a la vez, esta si es música, no como la actual..

Brings me back to my senior year I'm high school as well.. 2020

Just curious. What year was that?

This brings back so many memories of my teenager years,some of the best music to come out that era.
