    Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the line betrayed with a kiss referring to when Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus

      Yes, it was! The lyrics aren't only about MLK Jr. but rather several across history.

    The lyrics will make the hair stand up on your arms. Give you chills. I suggest their album “Joshua Tree”.☮️☮️

    Edge is a very unique guitarist - brilliant use of syncopated delay effects. You know it’s him when you hear it.

    I remember when the album "The Unforgettable Fire" came out in 1984, yes, I am dating myself, a great collaboration between the band and Producer Brian Eno, the song was about Dr. King. Loved the chords in the middle.

    I remember them playing this on Pop Mart tour and seeing a black cop in security watching a predominantly white crowd celebrating song with video images of MLK, and wondering what he thought of what he was seeing and hearing.

    So glad you are enjoying U2. My favourite band of all time and songs that saved my life.

    The older, the more rock sound. The albums Boy, October, and War are my favorites.

    Here is which persons are meant (courtesy of @curtisthomas2670 ):
    "One man caught on a barbed wire fence" - Dietrich Bonhoeffer - anti-Nazi German dissident
    "One man he resist" - Mahatma Ghandi
    "One man washed on an empty beach" - Roger Casement - an Irish revolutionary who was betrayed by the Germans shortly before the Irish Eastern Rising of 1916. He was left on a beach, too sick to travel and was caught by the English who executed him after a controversial trial.
    "One man betrayed with a kiss" - Jesus betrayed by Judas
    " One man to overthrow" - Malcolm X
    And of course the third verse is about MLK Jr.
    Peace from SF

    This is old, but. Rattle and Hum. It’s a live movie version of all their songs. It’s beautiful and moving and you could break it up into sections. You’ll know them as you watch

    Im not a HUGE U2 fan, but have always enjoyed this song. Another you should check out is "All I Want Is You" which is both their best song AND most underrated.

    I have strong memories surrounding this music. U2 is generally too soft and pop based for my liking, but I find great value in the lyrics.👍

    Hey Silas. Always enjoy your reactions, I really think it’s time for some more Tool. There are many that you could start back with but I think you’d really like, ‘Right in Two”. Hope all is well there in Indy.

    It'll take years to get through the U2 catalog. They've put out tons of great music. I'd recommend "Stay (Faraway, So Close)" or "Running to Stand Still" for a future reaction.

    Is it what more in the name of Love or one more in the name of love? Sounds like they're talking about multiple people who gave it All for Love
