Wow! Your analysis ma'am is SPOT ON! Bono said himself that he originally wrote this song to be more of a gospel song. You're absolutely correct. That's awesome. Also. There is a gospel version that Bono did with a Harlem choir. You should look it up
Quincy Jones was asked in an interview decades ago what groups are gonna be big. First one he said was look out for a Irish band called U2. The rest is history.
@@StephanieLee48 oh yeah, I've seen recording of this. It's a little famous. I think they used a Harlem Choir. It's very powerful in sound and feeling. It's not the only time they use full choirs in their music. If you don't know the history of this band , they started off at the end of the punk scene in Ireland, their first hit was Sunday Bloody Sunday. An anti-war protest song about the IRA bombing era they grew up in. As their career progressed though, they really displayed an enamor with black culture and music in America. This includes a song specifically about MLK and a pretty decent duet with BB (When Love Comes to Town) and several recordings with the Harlem Choir.
It would be great if you watched “Where the Streets have No Name” video live in Las Angeles! Really interesting, the song was released in 1987, I’m feeling my age! I had no cellphone or computer back then, lol. I wish I could go back in time at times. This song and time in history makes me feel very nostalgic. ❤️
One of the few bands that brings tears to my eyes when I hear them. The lead singer is so intense and full of passion and they are one of the greatest live acts ever. In the 80s, in the midst of spandex pants and men with big hair and make up these guys blew up and dominated the scene doing their own thing, were giants above everyone else at the time. This is the version of the song you want to hear with the choir from the documentaryua-cam.com/video/M8Wt3dhF4fU/v-deo.html
I was in Las Vegas (downtown) hanging out with my Uncle when they filmed this video and was fortunate enough to meet the entire band during filming.....needless to say U2 instantly became my favorite band....this wasn't filmed on "The Strip"
I’m sipping on white Zinfandel and my husband is drinking Budweiser. So excited you reacted to this video!!! I love watching your facial expressions. Steph, at first you looked very concerned or upset in the beginning of this song and then you seemed to relax at the end of the song. Jay, your facial expressions totally showed that you enjoyed this song, especially at the end. Hope you react to more U2 videos!!!! Really love your reactions!!!
Thank you both. I agree with your assessment of this song. I grew up in Las Vegas so I have always loved the video. They Filmed this at 2 o’clock in the morning on Fremont Street. So I think what they were trying to say is They were trying to look for it in the wrong place. The guitar player is the Edge . Love you both thank you so much for sharing this.❤️😃👍✌️🌼 Love and peace🥂
I lived in Las Vegas when they made this video. Kinda nailed a lot of us in Vegas at that time. But you nailed your analysis, many of us lost that way, in my case I was in my 20's, and really trying to find something, just not sure of what. If you notice in the video, they're being escorted by Las Vegas Metro, Downtown was a very ruff place back then. Loved your review, keep going.
I grew up listening to them in the 80's, the whole album Joshua Tree, and their delving into gospel music... Many years later I learned they were actually from Ireland
This band does enjoy the style of black American gospel, they adapt it frequently, and really I think they do a fair job, but it's a powerful music style that's hard to fail (although there's some bad butchers of it in rock and pop) U2 had some big chops in those old days. That guitar hit a tension through the whole song that sort of contradicts the release and strength of the lyrics. That's a good thing in this case though. It's nice to see you guys making videos still. Staying positive. I first found you way back when you did some Tool reactions. That was very powerful. Sip on Sippingtons
So many great songs! I’ll add When Love Came To Town with B.B. King along with the other suggestions in the comments. Pride is about MLK, another one to checkmout❤️
Wow! From heavy metal to rock. The range of your musical discovery is all over the place! Love it! I think you should react to 'In a Little While' and another U2 classic called 'Out of Control' Live at Slane Castle 2001.
I have been a U2 fan for just about 40 years now. It wasn't until their Joshua Tree album though, that I realized that they were basically a Christian Rock band, one that didn't adhere to the musical or lyrical formulas of that genre, but instead were just about the best Rock songwriters/musicians on the planet. Going back through their first several albums you'll find at least half of their songs include references to the Bible and Christianity. At concerts they would close with '40' and tens of thousands of young people would knowingly or not be chanting in reference to Psalm 40 as we finally left the building. This song is more direct with... You broke the bonds and you loosened chains carried the cross of my shame, of my shame You know I believe it But of course Rock n Roll is all about the double entendre, so reading the song as a whole, it absolutely can be about looking for the love of a good woman too!
Was trying to think of you both as I was recounting wonderful Game of Thrones Reaction people. Hope all is well. Love you as a couple. Have a glass of wine on me !
I love the reaction and the analysis. The Bible teaches us to forgive others and that's hard enough as is. What's even harder is learning how to forgive ourselves for what we have done in the past. Only thru great effort can we achieve it 💪
Remember this man met his wife at a v young age. And is still with her until this day. He’s talking about everybody looking for things in the places in Vegas
Hi Steph and Jay! I’ve told you before that I really enjoy your content, reactions AND your production value! I understand you both have your jobs and are out there working. I wish I could see more of you two but I understand, my wife and I both work full time. I just want to see more! ❤️ I know you get so many requests but can you please mark down somewhere “Bob Seger”. I think you will really enjoy him and his music 🎶 a good tune to start with would be “Night Moves” or “Like a Rock” or even “Come to Papa”. The one song you need to do at some point is “Roll me away”. In any case please check him out. I’ll continue to look for new reactions as I think you two are some of the best out there! Fun, great production, great drinks 🍹;) and so much more! Talk soon, Kevin
You broke this down in a way that I'd never taken it. It is a spiritual, and there is a version from Rattle and Hum where they do sing with a Gospel choir (very good!), but I never saw it about the subject trying to fill something. I always took it as some external thing being missing. I always took it as there is this external idea of God that is presented to you in a fairly technical way if you grow up with any religious training at all, but he keeps missing that when he goes looking for it. Like maybe God is a lot more mysterious than we're taught in Sunday school, and it's hard to see him when you are frantically searching, using a formula that someone handed you. But I like your analysis better. It's probably closer to the truth than my clunky explanation. I've listened to this song a thousand times, and you just gave me new eyes and new ears. You are a wise woman, and a LUCKY man. Thank you.
This band is a legend and always stand and support good causes for a very long time, they also performed in Live Aid 1985 same concert Queen were in. U2 is amazing live and put on an flawless show. Thank you for the reaction, you guys are awesome. These are great songs a must reaction :) * Where The Streets Have No Name ua-cam.com/video/GzZWSrr5wFI/v-deo.html * Pride (In The Name Of Love) ua-cam.com/video/LHcP4MWABGY/v-deo.html * Ordinary Love (From Mandela OST) Lyric Video ua-cam.com/video/XC3ahd6Di3M/v-deo.html * One ua-cam.com/video/ftjEcrrf7r0/v-deo.html
Can anybody explain to me how Bono and U 2 can sing in the middle of Vegas and only a few people notice. I just don't believe that. How did they do that?
It's a prayer that is saying I have looked in all of these places that have offered so much in terms of happiness, but I haven't found what I'm looking for there. I have even looked to God for happiness and satisfaction, but I haven't found what I'm looking for there either. What is it we are looking for? And where do we think we are going to find it? Our lives are going to be hard, and in many ways will not give us what we want. We have to look for those things that will mean the most to us in the long run. Do we have a family? Do we have a grand child? Do we have a wife or husband? Or do we have a special pet? Where can we find what we're looking for when we keep looking in the places that we THINK we'll find it, when what we're looking for is inside our hearts?
Belated Happy Birthday, Steph. Looking back, I can't tell you the number of times I watched your reactions to System of a Down . Those were my favorites. A few months ago, you reacted to Tool's Fear Inoculum. Great song and you did great with the analysis. You made a comment about the drums. Drummer Danny Carey has electric drums in his drum kit. He is amazing. Please react to this awesome drum cam video of Danny drumming to Tool "Pneuma" (live). He makes it look so easy! Link: ua-cam.com/video/FssULNGSZIA/v-deo.html
Have a look at their song 'one' but not the UA-cam boring version try to find the original original I think it was in monochrome and featured wild animals in Africa and other stuff- I can't remember the specifics but it was in 1994 - working out in the gym watching and listening to early days TV music channels on monitors - To me its the only decent song they made - Keep sipping guys!
Hi! I am a Spanish subscriber. I would like you to react to *JAQUE AL REY - Belén Aguilera feat. Edurne* She is an incredible singer, songwriter and pianist. I know you will like it. Greetings from Spain 🇪🇦
OK man, I get it. . .YOU FOUND IT. . .But, mostly it ISN'T out there. . .I speak from experience. . .I have to find a woman who isn't PERFECT. . .So, she'll lower herself to spend time with me. They almost DON"T exist. . .I've just about given up. . .Just not worth it. . .Good for you, man. . .

Bono singing at the peak of his vocal range, the band on its way to mega stardom, also, rest in peace Greg Carroll from New Zealand.
One was voted the number one lyrics song of all time. He’s a poet
This is my absolute favorite U2 song!
Quincy Jones was asked in an interview decades ago what groups are gonna be big. First one he said was look out for a Irish band called U2. The rest is history.
She got it. Her thoughts are point. U2 songs have many interpretations. But this is a Gospel song.
Yea she was!!
In their docuconcert film “Rattle and hum” they visit a church where the choir sings this song. You’d like it.
I subscribed cause U did U2
The song in U2's own words is a gospel song with a restless spirit
btw when they toured for this album in 1987, in NYC at MSG they actually had a choir on stage . i was at that show
😮😮
@@StephanieLee48 oh yeah, I've seen recording of this. It's a little famous. I think they used a Harlem Choir. It's very powerful in sound and feeling. It's not the only time they use full choirs in their music.

Rattle and hum
Wow I love your analysation of the music fantastic beautiful and truthful

They performed this song with a choir, in a church, in Harlem, in the rock documentary Rattle and Hum.
first time watching you two. Good people, full of soulful wisdom. Love.
Loved this song as a kid.
OMG, you should watch "Sunday bloody Sunday" by U2. Their best song. Oh, and "Pride" is an absolute must also.
I had never heard anything like U2 when I first heard them, it was such a breath of fresh air
Great group😎👍💘
You guys as a couple make my heart happy :)
One of the few bands that brings tears to my eyes when I hear them. The lead singer is so intense and full of passion and they are one of the greatest live acts ever.

❤ U2 ❤
All I want is you, is by far their most haunting and sad song. So beautiful at the same time.
Having a beer atm🙂🙂🙂
I LOVE your mind Steph,
You need to listen to the live version. The choir will give you chills.
I am 14 but loveeee u2
Great analysis. It's somewhat open what he's looking for, but I think generally he's looking for meaning in life.
Can't argue with that steph!
I’m sipping on white Zinfandel and my husband is drinking Budweiser. So excited you reacted to this video!!! I love watching your facial expressions.

Having a beer with y’all, too. Beautiful couple. Beautiful music. Keep doing this shit!
Love the old U2 stuff. Anything before and up to their "Joshua Tree" album. Love "Where the streets have no name" video. Check it out sometime.
Excellent interpretation.
The wife was right. Beautiful reaction.
Steph and my boy Jay this is one of my favorite groups this is a good song without you is my favorite 🍺🍺🍺
So many great songs! I’ll add When Love Came To Town with B.B. King along with the other suggestions in the comments. Pride is about MLK, another one to checkmout❤️
Ohh. Very deep analysis. I like it. I think you need to start a channel on philosophy. I love it!
Flashback!
Wow! From heavy metal to rock. The range of your musical discovery is all over the place! Love it!
I think you should react to 'In a Little While' and another U2 classic called 'Out of Control' Live at Slane Castle 2001.
In the name of love is their song about Martin Luther King.
And also MLK on the unforgettable fire LP
Steph and j listen to with or without you you will love it🤗

You broke the bonds
and you loosened chains
carried the cross of my shame, of my shame
You know I believe it
But of course Rock n Roll is all about the double entendre, so reading the song as a whole, it absolutely can be about looking for the love of a good woman too!
You should do a reaction of Sevendust.
I really enjoy your reactions.
I’m having a beer with you guys ❤️❤️❤️
this is great and has been great for decades try where the streets have no name
Was trying to think of you both as I was recounting wonderful Game of Thrones Reaction people. Hope all is well. Love you as a couple. Have a glass of wine on me !
I love the reaction and the analysis. The Bible teaches us to forgive others and that's hard enough as is. What's even harder is learning how to forgive ourselves for what we have done in the past. Only thru great effort can we achieve it 💪

Its a song about bono's faith
good one y'all. lot of good songs one that album
It would be funny if u2 were to see this reaction

He's a romantic, she's a cynic... I love you both.💕
This video was filmed in downtown Vegas, not staged, made it look they were street performers.
Lead the way,U2 1985 Live Aid,song called Bad, it won't let you down-

DO U2 'disco-tech'
Lead singer Bono/ guitar Dave the edge evens / bass Adam clayton/drums johnmullenjr
The other two are the bass and drum player...both with flat top hair....all four Irish...U2 is a spiritual band...so the soul comes natural
U2 song Pride about MLK. Great song.
It's a prayer that is saying I have looked in all of these places that have offered so much in terms of happiness, but I haven't found what I'm looking for there. I have even looked to God for happiness and satisfaction, but I haven't found what I'm looking for there either.

Ironic that the setting for this video is in Las Vegas, a place where so many try to find what makes them happy.

I agree w Steff. Always thought this song was spiritual. Also check out New Years Day, Pride In The Name of Love, about Martin Luther King.
They are talking about God . A lot of their music is spiritually driven. They are my church

Well, the way i see it is , HE NEEDS JESUS!!!😇✝✝✝
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For...the story of my life.
It's a Gospel song. Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullins Jr. and Adam Clayton.
Please react to City of Blinding Lights by U2

Larry Mullen, Jr. is the drummer

Check out suicidal tendencies Trip at the brain!, It's throw back.
The GREATEST CHRISTIAN band disguised as a rock band...❤️🤙🏼
Catholic, but they've since drifted from Christianity, they're more agonsitc these days.
The band is bono the edge adam and Larry
It's a great song I know well but I hadn't seen the video. I thought the video was distracting and subtracted from the song.
Listen to Sunday Bloody Sunday. It’s about the IRA bombings
Look for the live version from Rattle & Hum, Bono speaks in the middle and explains the song and his view of the Irish “revolution”. Very powerful.
One of th3 most over-rated bands in the history of the world. But I do like there stuff up to Joshua tree album!
OK man, I get it. . .YOU FOUND IT. . .But, mostly it ISN'T out there. . .I speak from experience. . .I have to find a woman who isn't PERFECT. . .So, she'll lower herself to spend time with me. They almost DON"T exist. . .I've just about given up. . .Just not worth it. . .Good for you, man. . .
You want bible refences you should listen to Gloria.
You’ll love this one with BB King!

thank you for not buying into this blm shit and staying real!
You guys don’t know the meaning of this song. You have no idea. Listen to the lyrics
Beer and Cocaine... U2?
The song is a metaphor for the American dream...not a love song
