Lyrics:
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my heart, love is blindness.
In a parked car, in a crowded street
You see your love made complete.
Thread is ripping, the knot is slipping
Love is blindness.
Love is clockworks and cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel.
Squeeze the handle, blow out the candle
Love is blindness.
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love,
Blindness.
A little death without mourning
No call and no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense.
Love is drowning in a deep well
All the secrets, and no one to tell.
Take the money, honey...
Blindness.
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love,
Blindness.

The most criminally underrated musician on the planet ....past & Present .
Amen. David Evans is definitely one of my all time favourite musicians; super talented.
@@nickkabbabe1953 Yeo , he sure is . A class act who carries himself with a quiet dignity
He's criminally overrated though...
@@cietai9843 your criminally insane
I wouldn't say that the guitar player from one of the most popular bands in the world is underrated.
Edge has always an amazing voice. It's similar enough to Bono's to compliment it, yet has it's own unique quality.
I've always said I'd pay good money to see Edge and Larry Mullen do a stripped down set of U2 songs. Just an acoustic guitar, some bongos and Edge's voice.
Edge is my favourite guitarist of all time.❤ Simply a genius.
That is without doubt one of the best performances I’ve ever seen’ The Edge is to me what Jimi Hendrix was to a generation of musicians in the 1960’s.. absolute genius
Edge broke two strings recording the solo for the studio version, he poured all his emotion over his divorce into those notes. This version sounds like him looking back at past experiences instead, wiser and more collected. I love it.
I've always stated that as one of the most overlooked solos ever. Just from pure emotion.
He almost sounds like Bono
Edge was the frontman at one point early on... Fantastic artist as is his brother Dick☘️
Context: Edge never breaks strings… but he did for this song (Bono wrote this song because he saw his friend was in pain.)
Great fuckin call AMF
The Edge is very talented. Not only is he a great guitarist but his voice is incredible. This is why U2s vocal harmonies are so good.
The legendary Edge
Edgendary
David Evans aka The Edge
Living Legend! Greetings from Brazil.
This performance makes me mourn the lack of solo work from him. Such a brilliant musician, he brings something different to the table when he is the focus
Why doesn't he sings more often on his own? His voice is absolutely beautiful!
Well, you're right. But I still would like him to sing alone more often
His pop sang in the Welsh Choir. Edge sings lead on Seconds on the War album and Van Diemen's Land on Rattle Hum.
Dyonisos
I love his short parts in stuck in a moment and miracle drug.
Clara Pezzini yes, why doesn't do something like numb?
Anything
He can't replace Bono in any way
Of course in performance sense
God touched him with amazing musical talent ✊- 5 time concert veteran of U2
Bono is a great singer / songwriter but I think
The Edge is by far the most talented member of U2. This performance is amazing !
One of U2's best lyrics. "love is clockworks/cold steel/fingers too numb to feel/squeeze the handle/blow out the candle/blindness" Pure gold.
mcphisto85 the setting off of a bomb. Those of us who lived through the IRA campaigns of the 1980s are a bit less sanguine.
mcphisto85 what an album finale.. them 3 final songs best ending to an album ever..
Kerie Receveur It’s a reference to suicide, by gun, because of infidelity. Nothing to do with the IRA.
@@horsemanpit8812 where did you read this?
@@horsemanpit8812 bollards, pet.
His voice is a real surprise. I recall the track “ numb” and only knew him vocally for that
It's painfully beautiful.
Such a talented and beautiful man with a beautiful voice.
NO WORDS ..JUST AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE FROM EDGE HERE...I SALUTE YOU SIR EDGE
One of the all time great musicians.
Sapere ciò che sta in un amore è come chiedere a sé stessi se sappiamo cosa sarà il domani non di noi ma di un mondo che ci gira intorno , perché la vita è strana è sempre un passo avanti a noi...
grande Edge...
U2 are simply the best of all time .
True in a sense that they are the band with the most longevity able to keep great quality in their work. I'd say they are the best band on the long time. The Stones were done after 20 years.
One of my fave U2/songs of all time. Love love love. I didnt know it was Edge that sang this all this time! wow. he sounds exactly like Bono on this song!
simply my favourite song from that album. this version sounds more stark, stripped bare and raw
never heard the edge sing on his own before, this is fantastic give us more please.
that moment when a guitar player sings better than most contemporary artists
Dead on.
That's because he's Welsh
@Tomos Snow born to a Welsh family in England both his parents are Welsh.
Seanachie's Court
The Irish and Welsh musical influences is clearly a brilliant combination. Great and surprising performance vocally from the Edge. The acoustic guitar sounded really beautiful as well.
True! The Edge has got a great voice....I'd never heard him sing before....how???? He should sing more often. Maybe get Bono to share more of the singing on any future U2 albums (assuming there will be more to come?). Btw, not saying Bono shouldn't sing lol, just that when you have a guitarist who's got a good voice, you should use him more to support both you the lead singer, and a particular song.
Edge's voice doesn't compare to Bono's voice. This voice is stable and he sings so very musically . He is never out of tune , sings lines , legato's . He is a wonderful musician.
I am speechless...
Wow wow Edge, too cool, beautiful...!
Absolutely beautiful. Very heartfelt. He's a magnificent singer. Love his voice. Reaches into my soul
One of my fave U2 lyrics. Works well as a poem too.
Edge's voice and guitar became a part of hall.Voice of the hall.
Edge is a poet ...
charly ...and a cutie😻
Vrai un véritable poète ,fantastique
His acoustic guitar playing in this video is amazing. Simple riff and a solo, but so incredibly emotional and effective. Truly one of the greatest guitarists of all times.
No
@@nightlover5194 The man is a one off and his band has more good songs than virtually any other in history.
Night Lover But he’s one of the most influential guitarists ever. By far. As simple and easy as his playing is.
The most influential in the last 40 years.
Ask people like Tim Pierce, who’s recorded on literally thousand of sessions for most of the “royalty of pop” out there, from Michael Jackson or Crowded house to Adele.
The cultural impact of The Edge’s approach to guitar is immense, and one of the few departs from blues based guitar playing.
As much is I love Jimi, Jimmy, Beck, SRV and respect Zappa, Van Halen, Eric Johnson... I admire the musical language that the Edge developed with the constraint of not approaching playing guitar like it had been up to 1980.
For those who disliked this beautiful soul and the loveliness of his voice… you have no soul.
But so much!
Always knew The Edge could sing beautifully, he is Welsh after all.
Respect Edge, you Mr. master of the LOVE&PEACE... I feeling the same long the time and deeply than before
Don’t let the Haters tell you that The Edge is a very “simple” guitarist when he has created his own and unique sound throughout the years. A staple for musicians. He also sings amazing.
A beautiful performance. The Edge has a great talent, he's one of a kind. His voice and Bono's are pretty much alike. Thanks God there are artists like him and bands like U2.
It certainly helps with blending!
He really is a fine singer. U2 should have had at least one Edge lead vocal per album.
My absolute love...The Edge...
If you closed your eyes before you pressed play you would swear it's bono singing instead of the edge, beautiful. 👍 😎
Great The Edge🎸🎤
It's amazing how much he sounds like Bono.
Edge is the man!
Omg
.....I am not talented in writing enough to express how exceptional this is I am floored !
SIMPLY WONDERFUL THE EDGE!
I have always appreciated the lack of Ego battle in U2. They are all U2, all 4. This is the strength of U2. Unity. And Music.
I could sit and listen to Edge play the guitar and sing all day long and I really do not care who knows it.
me too and in fact in my spare time I do.
I remember °Love Is Blindness" from Kiel, Germany 1992. The first time I've heard this fantastic song live in concert in the small "Kieler Ostseehalle" on a very, very hot day.
Brilliant performance.... Bono is the face of U2, but they are greatly talented musicians
Wow. I'm not familiar with U2's work (almost unimaginable I know, given their prominence), but as a guitarist I've been quite aware of Edge's innovative playing. I just didn't realise how beautiful his voice was/is. Incredibly impressive.
ZOO TV Live version of this song is unbelievably good. Honestly you are truly missing out by being unfamiliar with U2 as they have so many great songs. Achtung Baby is the album this song is off; and it just may be U2's best album. Each song is amazing.
*U2 WAR is my all-time favorite album* "Drowning Man" is one of the most powerful songs ever created!@@nickkabbabe1953
Am I the only person that think that his voice is like Bono's voice? they are similar...
+The Music of The Night That's why they harmonize so well.
+tpro skyebo yeah 😍
+The Music of The Night Yeah, even Bono says people confuse their two voices a lot of times.
+Eric Guel Really?😄 I didn't know it
+The Music of The Night They have a similar vocal range. The Edge's voice is a little thinner. Larry Mullen can actually sing also but he rarely does. He sang a drinking song acapella in a concert in Philly I saw back in the early 90's.
Simple perfection. Edge is the heart of U2.
I just love Edge.
This song has been haunting me for years. This version is beautiful and makes me see TE differently.
+coffeescup Yes, this version is more haunting, more raw. The emotions come alive, although the album version does offer something too. The haunting of the voice here is to be found in the sound of the song...
This version haunts like a sad lullaby. The album version reminds me on an operas end.
Perfect description. They both touch me deeply. This version is the quiet feelings late at night that pass in a whisper, but feel just as intense.
The Edge wrote this song when his first wife left him.That's why the sorrow sounds so authentic..it is.
I agree. It is beautiful. My favorite version of the song
I have loved U2 since 81 and they get better as time goes by. Fell madly in love with this song since I do love dirge!! Passion oozes with chord and vocal sound.
what a sweet voice.
This is so gorgeous. The Edge can sure do angst!
The EDGE is on the edge of musical perfection as close as a human can reach perfection. I remain amazed and stupefied by his virtuosity. Thank man ...
My favorite song from Achtung Baby. This version is KILLER.
beautiful, peaceful,melodic, love acoustic
Bitter sweet, & breathtakingly beautiful. 😭😍
I love hearing Edge sing.
The voice, sounds great. 👏🏻👏🏻
Simplicity is what I love most about this video.
Singing to an empty theatre. An Hymn to the humble ones.
Yes, this is one of my favorites, the wife is blind but I still love her more then ever 41 years
Amazing solo performance and amazing acoustic guitar solo. This song is about The Edge's divorce so you can see his emotions in there. The Edge oozes talent in everything. He is one of the greatest guitarist, a great song writer, composer, pianist and also vocalist.
The Edge's stellar performance gives this song a completely different, more sombre feel. Just beautiful.
Guitar work is absolutely beautiful, as is the guitar. Thank you so much for the music.
The Edge has the voice of a damn angel
What an amazing guitarist and what an an amazing song writer and singer (yes, he co-wrote this song since this song is about his 1990 divorce). So much emotions with a simple acoustic guitar.
They separated in 1990 but didn't divorce til 1996 - because it was ot legal in Reland til 1995.
Roger Mahajan The song was wrote by Bono in 1988 and was going to feature on Rattle and Hum but the shelved it. It was the pulled back out by Bono in 1990 while The Edge was having problems with his wife and that's when they recorded it.
Like many of their songs, there's a double meaning. It's a song about both emotional violence, and terrorism. The lyrics about a parked car, clockwork and cold steel, death without a call or warning, are about car bombs.
Edge's voice and skills are really underrated !!😳
Timeless and brilliant
perfect! He has a very young voice!👍👍👍
The Edge can do no wrong. Love his vocals!
Very sad song. Reminds me of a previous marriage, where my wife was an alcoholic that was having an affair. We got divorced, and I felt there was no more hope. Years later, I met the love of my life. Got married to my new wife a few years ago. I love life now.
This past weekend, on Sunday night, May 29th 2022, I found "my" person on the couch (that was a gift from my family) with another person, wearing only a blanket, with clothes on the floor. This brings me here.
@@revolutionunderground hope you’re doing fine, life goes on. What goes around comes around, let go and move on. Life is beautiful without trash in life 😃
@@revolutionunderground I’ve been in a similar situation, it’ll be alright 👍🏽
I'm happy you found your way to love again. There's always hope 🙂
Your voice sounds beautiful the Edge.
The Edge should get a chance to sing lead vocals more often. If not on an album, then at least live. He has a great voice.
Edge should do a solo album , maybe hard rock mixed in with it ,,you can tell on some U2 songs he's influenced by hard rock groups aswell
this shows how integral Edge's voice is in the overall sound of U2..Bono is amazing...dont' get me wrong, but the two as a unit are a whole that cannot be seperated
Edge is the sound of U2.... He is the sound...period
He has the voice of an angel
unfokingbeliavable.. edge's voice is amazing..
One word...FANTASTIC!
Such a lovely voice he has. I so wish he could perform solo during one the U2 shows. ♥
His hands and voice are almost holy.
Don't listen to U2 much,but this solo's words describes how my heart feels in the relationship im in.truly sad.
The Edge, the best one!
Goosebumps love this song
Edge is the most underrated guitarist but an absolute gem in the hiding. His guitar playing oozes a passion that nobody can beat. Simply love him ❤️❤️❤️
This guy is just magic
my favourite guitarplayer, such a talent,a genius, im glad ,that i can listen to his music!
Nothing can't beat this version!
in a parked car, in a crowded street...
I was in their concert in 92', I remember the exact moment when this song started and I will never forget it
So do I April 7th, 1992 Houston...just so powerful
'one' driving in a back street in Berlin in early 1992
The Edge über alles !!!!!!
So beautiful, love you Edge. Your voice sound like Bono but more clearly.
The best guitarist😍
THE MAN WHO GAVE US OUR FIRST JOB AND TRIES TO KEEP US IN IT EVERYDAY ON DRUMS LARRY MULLEN JR
Did he write this? it really hit me wow what simple yet powerful and profound lyrics they cut like a knife beautiful singing and as always superlative playing edge is one talented guy
Legend has it that Bono wrote this song for Edge when he was going through a divorce in the 90s.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Is_Blindness
Wow this is a new life for such a beautiful song ,more miles ...The Edge kills here 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Genius!!!
This is my favorite version of this song. Especially having seen the movie and knowing the back story. I don't know how he holds it together.
such a deep and powerful song beautifully sung by an amazing musician
and he sings it with such sorrow
Amazing song. Got teared eye.
Beautiful version by The Edge
