I'm not a massive U2 fan myself but damn this is good. Undeniable talent.

[mastersoftoday]

how do they continue coming up with these beautiful touching lyrics is beyond me
i thought they've written their masterpieces already, but every line of this song is gorgeous

[anna-leighhardy]

Bono's voice has always been silky smooth, i love this version.
if they can produce something so beautiful and touching after over 35yrs in the game then all i can say is shame on you lot that have pressed the thumbs down!!!!

[aishalepionnier]

No one can be as good as Bono in live performance.

I mean !! I’m speechless. I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve listen to this and yet I get surprised and touched EVERY TIME

Thanks U2 for making my life better

The first time in listen this song I was with taxi drive in Dublin. I never ever will forgot this song.never ever

[marschallvirtual]

His voice did not change! I grew up listening to U2 since I was 6.

[abdulkiswanya]

I am refugee in Germany I listen to this song so many times a day keep me cry and gave me strength, beautiful song always for lyrics are damn so good, thanks U2

[raymundodavilaanzures]

They still got it. This is a timeless band. Some may say They have gotten way too mainstream, whatever. You can't deny they are a multigeneration band, innovative and unique. And what can I say about Bono's writing and singing skills... He is the man!

[gary]

Heartbreakingly beautiful, I have been listening to U2 since the 80's and this is up there with the best. His lyrics are haunting, he is a damn fine poet. There are so many out there who say they hate U2, but have they really listened?

[raquelhewson]

The Edge, multiinstrumentista, toca piano, guitarra, violão... Canta muito bem... Enfim, Edge é o cara! ❤️👏👏👏👏

[pvuyky]

[ruiesteves]

a blessed voice and a gift from heaven  to us all. Even for those who don´t appreciate U2. Thank you Bono!

Every breaking wave on the shore
Tells the next one there'll be one more
And every gambler knows that to lose
Is what you're really there for

Summer I was fearless
Now I speak into an answer phone
Like every fallen leaf on the breeze
Winter wouldn't leave it alone
Alone

If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless against the tide
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave

Every sailor knows that the sea
Is a friend made enemy
And every shipwrecked soul knows what it is
To live without intimacy

I thought I heard the captain's voice
But it's hard to listen while you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This is as far as I could reach

If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless against the tide
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave

The sea knows where are the rocks
And drowning is no sin
You know where my heart is
The same place that yours has been
And we know that we fear to win
And so we end before we begin
Before we begin

If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless against the tide
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave

Although you don't listen U2 you can't dislike this song, it's perfect, are perfect the words, piano sound it's amazing, Bono, well, he is amazing too... Perfect song!

What a profoundly beautiful song and performance - the one and only U2! Their music has provided many soundtracks to episodes in my life. Thank you guys! X

[yuliyakorableva]

when I lose faith in music, I listen to U2

[seanx]

Can honestly say this ranks as one of the most beautiful songs and performances ive ever witnessed, absolutely stunning.

[patkeohane]

my new favorite song. U2 just keep getting better.

for me this song is a love song to the people of Ireland who have suffered so much during the recent recession.
we keep making mistakes.

there's healing in this song.
