U2 is STILL making excellent music. They are the one band that is still relevant, after decades. I've listened to tons of bands and after all these years, they are still my favorite. They've managed to keep their sound without sounding dated. May they continue for more years to come.

[Brian_Boru]

An absolute masterpiece, late in U2's career, proof that they never lost the ability to craft brilliant songs. This sits comfortably among their best work.

Close your eyes, listen to the words 🎶

Life long U2 fan and still amazed by this band

[bonolee]

If ED Sheeran had written these songs people would be posting about how brilliant he is etc etc when really he wouldn’t get near this quality...times have changed but all U2 can do is keep going with quality like this

[gustavomilancastellon]

Cuando has seguido su carrera musical y piensas que ya no te van a sorprender, lanzan esta obra de arte. Una canción para la historia. U2 forever

This band is a part of my soul. I have loved them for as long as I can remember. This song caught me so off guard(as I was driving), I had to pull into a parking lot and sobbed uncontrollably! I love you guys, thanks for always being there!

This version is so much better than the album version. The keyboard really brings it all together. Incredible song.

U2 is a gift to the world. there is music, and then there is U2. Transcendent.

Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience are great CD’s. I have listened to them over and over again. Very different than early U2. Excellent era of U2 music.

[brandenhaynes]

One of U2’s very best songs from the last ten years is “The Little Things That Give You Away”. Contemporary and classic sounding at the same time. That’s the mark of quality.

[margaretsch.]

I recommend repeat listenings. By about #20 or #50 or #99 you will understand it reaches you in deeper and more profound ways over time. It may evoke epiphanies of empathy or remorse or vows to avoid contributing to a loved one's pain in the ways the lyrics describe (or an understanding of what you are called to forgive). Or something else. Just realize that this song like so many other U2 songs has a life of its own and count yourself privileged to listen and learn while also inviting and enjoying the touch of sublime musical genius.

[kristianduff]

Live, people. This was recorded live.

Living legends.

[johnnydiamond]

Beautiful song! 40 years and still rocking!

[mrchfrn]

This might be one of their greatest songs ever

[srdjangojkovic]

That solo kills me every single time.40 years and they are still capable of coming up with something like this.True greats who redefined my life completely.Thank you Bono, the Edge, Adam and Larry!

[Laretita]

Bono's voice is like a phoeme, it's music that passes trough the soul ❤❤❤

[GeorgeMcCauley]

One of the best songs they've written over the past 20 years. Classic U2 sounds, the arrangement and the way it builds up into this incredible climax is amazing. Powerful performance

[Valdemortlives]

This song combines U2’s modern music evolution with vintage U2 sounds and lyric elements reminiscent of The Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree albums. It transcends the intervening decades and appeals to new U2 listeners like my college-age kids as well as lifelong U2 fans since the Boy album days. The tender vocals that build to crescendo with Edge, Adam, and Larry in an emotional appeal and rhapsodic fade at the end… just sublime songwriting and lyrical genius. I know of no other band that not only hasn’t lost a step in 40 years of creation and performance together, but is still perfecting its craft and gifting the world with sublime songs like this while maintaining close family-like friendship. They truly do “the little things” that result in meaningful music.
