Not like I want to see anyone cry, but I gotta give major props to the vulnerability. That's what music is supposed to do, man! If there's one thing I could tell the boys/men of the world, it's that we need to feel our feelings. I've been through a lot of shit in my life, some of it I've caused, and most of it boils down to, I was trying to lock my feelings behind a steel door, and that only worked until I myself got locked behind a steel door. There is nothing more harmful in this world than cutting off one's own feelings. If the music makes you want to get up and dance, dance. If it makes you want to cry, cry. If it makes you angry, let it out peacefully. The world needs more people showing vulnerability, especially in public forums like KZfaq. If I'd learned from a younger age that showing emotion was OK, I'd probably be a Hell of a lot better off. Also doesn't help that my mom tells me whenever I cry, "It's okay, you just need to be medicated," or "You'll find the help you need eventually." Those don't help. Talking about my issues, that helps.

Joshua Tree is a perfect album. The original was one album with about 10 songs.

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggg rabbithole you've fallen into. Enjoy.....

Nice man. U2 during the late 80's thru early 90's was one of the biggest bands in the world no lie. Early in their career they helped popularize alternative music with songs like "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Years Day". Worthy rabbit hole. They can go hard too. Try "Bullet The Blue Sky" from this album.

Imagine being in the 80s, surrounded by cheesey pop, and crappy hair metal, then this comes along.

The single greatest band of the last 40 years.

This is why I watch reaction videos. I pick some of my favourite songs, add 'reaction' to the search term, and listen to it through the ears of someone else, vicariously listening to it for the first time again, through you. Oh, and I LOVE how you engaged with it and paid attention, you gave up your emotions to it and that's what music is about. I'm 47, I bought this album when it first came out, this was one of the stand out songs, and I listened to it for the first time again through you, Silas, so thank you, I felt like a proud father.! Ha ha.

imagine being a teenager when this song came out. GenX never recovered.

I"ll suggest

We had real music back than... The music back than moved you.

Anything from Joshua Tree, might as well do the whole thing. Bullet the Blue Sky is dark and dope.

U2 are one of the hugest bands in the world. Songs:

The longing, the melancholy, the pain and emotion of U2

As an old head it's weird to see someone who hasn't heard this album. Awesome that you're trying it out.

Gosh! If that's your first U2 song, you have so much more to listen to. Enjoy the plunge! 😎😎❤❤👍👍

Such a perfect song. Just beautiful.

I understand your emotions! I had to break up with a bf of yesteryear lol, we laid on the floor and listened to this album, when this song came on, we clutched each other & cried. It will always hit me hard, but the memories are well worth it!❤ I know you will enjoy so many tunes by U2, they slayed the 80's BIG TIME!😊

U2 were always ahead of their time musically. They were forging the way and the rest of the world was running to catch up. Music they made in the late 70's sounded very late 80's. Music in the 90's could still be released and be hits today. A lot of groups have gotten their inspiration from this band. I've never met a U2 song I didn't like over the course of their 40+ years of making music. But that's just me. not everyone is a fan of ALL of their work, but a lot of us are. i often think when reading comments that people are drawn most of the album that was released when they were young and call it their "definitive album" and which album is the definitive one depends entirely on the person. This song is from their fifth studio album. if you decide to keep on down this rabbit hole (and please do) and you decide to check out live versions of songs, start with a version that is closest to the era in which it was released. don't get me wrong, i LOVE the later versions too when the songs themselves evolve, but it might help you to hear it as we all did originally then check out what it became in later years. :)

One of the best bands of all time. Whether you do it on the channel or not, you owe it to yourself to dive deeper into them, you’ll never regret it.

I remember this song going off like a bomb when it came out. Still gives me chills.
