Lyrics:
I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time, will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug
God I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
€œI was a stranger
You took me in
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug
Miracle, miracle drug

The performance of "Miracle Drug" during the Vertigo tour remains an all-time U2 highlight for me. Something about the fact that The Edge sang those lines, especially right after a searing solo, moved me to tears. It was like the secret genius of U2 finally had a voice and something to say, and Bono suddenly became irrelevant for a brief moment.

It's this song that revealed to me, for the first time that there's an unrecognised instrument to this band. Once you hear Edge sing like that, on his own, you can't unhear it, and you realise that all over every single U2 song, is that voice, supporting Bono, reinforcing melodies and filling the sound. The way Edge sings and the notes he chooses are unlike any other singer in pop

This so sad 😭😭.. I used this song for a video in Instagram and yesterday when I took the kids to school I played this video because it was the one that showed up. Anyway, after hearing Bono talking at the beginning and then now hearing the song, it has a different meaning and FEELING, I CRIED on my way home and felt every word to the deepest Core! ❤

Speaking as someone who also has Cerebral Palsy and is a poet (similar to Nolan), this rocks. My nephew Kyle Dean Smith died on August 1, 2010 of leukemia, 11 years old. Even though he knew he was going to die, he submitted to every experimental treatment the doctors suggested, because he said "Maybe it will help someone else in the future". August 1st is "Remember Kyle" Day: I will share this video as part of it. Thank you, U2, for everything!

I've felt it with my three children, and I don't know why, but it is like Bono were talking about something completely common but at the same time special... Freedom, love, those wonderful sensations has that scent... Beautiful metaphor.

As a singer and trainer.... Well... Paul is just great. Not as a solo Singer, but as a Band Member, which you could see here. And that's what makes him great as a singer. He does consider himself as an instrument, paying a way more over for content than show. The lyrics are so deep with so easy words, while the music is the same.... simple in their singularity but complex in their composition. And they compose by jamming.... If I'd ever had a wish free, I'd love to jam with them. Happy New Year 2024! And hope Larry is back! Cheers!

@GuadalupePicasso 7 жыл бұрын

ChiriDarkrose ahhh, yeah, Seattle isn't cheap, especially as it's officially soldout on Ticketmaster already (thus, the secondary market can charge about whatever they want). The only cities that seem to be cheap or more reasonably priced are those that aren't yet soldout: the second night in Pasadena, Houston, Tampa, the second night in Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Louisville. There's a Facebook group that you should join, called U2 Fans Tour Help Real Fans To Get Tickets that you should join. The main rule in the group is that tickets can't be sold above face value! On their last tour, I got extremely via that group, as a girl in Brazil who, at the last minute, was unable to make the trek up to North America, gave me tickets to their final show at Madison Square Garden (July 2015) on that tour!
