This song is an absolute lyrical gem. The raw feeling of Bono's voice coupled with the poignancy of his and Dylan's words is just unreal. It is actually a really cool story of how this song was penned. Back in the mid 80's Bono was renting a house in California - it ended up a few years later to be the same house the Menendez family moved into - yes the same family of the famous murdered parents, killed by their sons Lyle and Eric. Anyways, Bono had a dream one night that contained many of these lyrics and he felt like it was a Bob Dylan song he was singing but couldn't think of which one -- so he ends up calling Dylan and asked him if he wrote a song containing those words and Dylan told him he had not but loved what Bono had come up with and then Bono asked him to co-write the rest of it with him. No one is exactly sure which lines were Dylan's and which one's were Bono's but in the grand scheme of things, who really cares? They both did an incredible job regardless of who put what lines in. I just think that is a really cool way to have a song come to life. - and in case anyone is wondering what Bono is screaming at the bridge - here are those words... I said love Climb up the mountain, said love I said Love All my love up here On the hill of the sun I'm on the eve of a storm And I will walk though my feet are numb I said Love rescue me Yeah I'm here without a name In the palace of my shame I said Love, rescue me Powerful stuff!
Love this song! I have been through this process before in my life! Starting out feeling very guilty and broken, and at the end, Love does indeed rescued me! God's love that is!.
Holy smokes, if this one doesn't move you, ain't sure what will ! Man , I've never heard a fine tune like this one , words singing , message , you name it . A blessing to me .
i dont even like U2 but this song just stopped me in my tracks and held me hypnotized until the very last note. the raw emotion in his voice is heart rending. this is one of those rare songs that speak to ones very soul.
Thank you so much Larry: This song grounds me, or brings me back a place that can except the world and at least calm down a little bit. LOVE rescue me.
"I've conquered the past, the future is here at last Stand there at the entrance of a new world I can see The ruins to the right of me, will soon have lost sight of me Love, rescue(d) me" Always sing the songs with the end verses. Makes the music far more beautiful.
They missed a verse. "And the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea I'm hanging on by my thumbs I'm ready for whatever comes Love rescue me"
Although I know that this is a song about heroin addiction ( is what is says via comments) per the AMAZINGLY talented Dylan / Bono wrote it about. I 💜 this song/lyrics because with all music 🎶 one can interpret it anyway they wish. This song is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, & always bring a tear 😢 to my eye. The many different meanings behind these lyrics & what one can use this song to help their ❤️ & soul with is beyond words. Whether it’s an abusive relationship, alcoholism, eating disorders, etc the list goes on. This is why music 🎶, real Music like this is so loved! They don’t make them like this anymore (well hardly) ~ Thank God for the classic songs with true meaning and helpful lyrics for people!! 💯🙏🙌
"Thy rod and staff" (from Psalm 23) ...no longer comfort me. The singer is lamenting the falling away of God's congregation - Psalm 74:2 "Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt."
I would add; This is one of those RARE SONGS, you're not supposed to listen to this, when you're happy and upbeat. This song in particular, given its old southern blues like, rythmn, and story telling lyrics, is better suited for times of Deep Self - Reflection, or As an inspirational/Motivational Anchor, to latch onto during times, of Deep, Profound Despair, & depression. It is during those times, where it can, at the very least, act as a soothing balm for troubled & weary soul. Additionally, depending how well the lyrics resonate with your life & life choices to date, it can help to pull you up out of Depression or Despair, dust you off, and set you back on either a path to redemption, or put you back on the road you traverse in this life, at this School called "Planet Earth".
Ignnore tha haters. U2 were massive fans of the Boss because Bruce could paint a landscape with his music. U2 were doing this on J Tree and RnH BECAUSE of Bruce. I love them both.
What a most beautiful written song . As you get older it seems like a story of life. Not to get dark but, it seems like a song that would be good a someone’s death.
Love is the key "If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have NOT LOVE, I gain nothing" LOVE REPLACE THY ROD AND STAFF WHEN JESUS CAME....
i wrote a lullaby in 1990 when my Christian-blues-rock band first started. swore back then that i'd never have a child but six years later she was born. that song was the only thing that would put her to sleep at night. and in my lullaby the baby never falls out of a tree cradle and all btw.
I guess it is what David, known of the Psalms in the bible, uses to explain God's care for us. Rod and staff, like a shepherd (David was one before). A shepherd uses it to keep the sheep together, so they wouldn't escape. Like David is the sheep and God the shepherd. When Bono sings: "I have cursed thy rod and staff, they no longer rescue me" he probably means he hated the things which haf saved him before. Now he regrets it. Eventually, it is my interpretation.
My twin and I would sing this song to my beautiful niece in the 90s as lullaby. It never failed she’s now a wonderful and bright mother of her own who has no recollection of this ever been sang to her! But it shaped the fearless, hopeful, loving, and acceptable human she is today.
The world is still separated, but is always united at the same time. We shall share the peaceful moment like being children whose heart is pure like water from the mountain.
1. You are Bono and have been a student of powerful music for some years.. 2. You are far from home (in California) traveling with your band. 3. You wake up with lots of the words in your head. 4. You consult with Bob Dylan that same day and he helps you finish the song. 5. You get your band to play the instrumentals. 10. And when you later get to Memphis, you and your band record it in oneo f Elvis' old recordings studios and voila, a masterpiece for the ages.
Me and my father near the sea. ( Yarmouth ? ) Looking forward to seeing you one day soon. Michael ❤ ( I'm not sure yet whether I should call you by your name or call you dad , I guess we will both know when we meet each other ). And hopefully my brother will be near by.
"They ask me to reveal the very thoughts they would conceal." EVEN LOVE CAN'T RESCUE YOU, OR ME, OR...ANYONE...FROM THAT SH**STORM!!!!!!!! LOVE...IS...THE...ONLY...THING...THAT CAN RESCUE MANKIND!! P...E...R...I...O...D!!
Bono does this in his songs, often the third verse. For example "You broke the bonds, And you loosed the chains Carried the cross of my shame Oh, my shame, you know I believe it But I still haven't found What I'm looking for"
My Father Fred. Great Yarmouth.. His Story. I have yet to meet him. But when l move to Gt Yarmouth l expect to meet him as l believe he lives there , along with my brother , whom l have never met either. Julie my future Spouse to be also lives in Great Yarmouth. Who l haven't seen in the flesh for over 40 years.♥️💖. Amen Lord. St Michael the Holy Spirit.
No. But I don't have to believe in Jesus to appreciate a wonderful song. You can believe that the Earth is flat, and still feel the force of gravity pulling you to the Earth's center.
My first time to be in the spotlight hasn't come yet. TV show. When my first time does come , well all hell will break loose. Media lies and abuse directed at me by joe public. But there will be some who will be good friends. St Michael the Holy Spirit.
How anyone can give this a thumbs down is truly baffling! Beautiful song with profound depth and wisdom. Thank you very much for posting!
It is a great brain washing song. Listen near the end of song. New World is mentioned. I used to really like this song but, I know better now.
I totally agree... It's a beautiful, soulful tune❤️
Rattle and Hum has THE most beautiful songs written by U2.💙
Maybe most under appreciated album ever
U2 can always give me hope when I'm feeling down.
You right
I always Listen this song with my brother. Now he leave the World. Miss you brother. I love you
This song touches my soul, wath a beautiful, magnificent song.
This song leaves me lost for words!

I said love
Climb up the mountain, said love
I said Love
All my love up here
On the hill of the sun
I'm on the eve of a storm
And I will walk though my feet are numb
I said Love rescue me
Yeah I'm here without a name
In the palace of my shame
I said Love, rescue me
Powerful stuff!

What an interesting story, and thanks for correcting the lyrics.
Kudos! Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely beautiful song!
Amen to that!
Never a massive U2 fan but this song is special
Cool. I am a massive U2 fan, and I often say this is their universal hit.

Brittannia Moon Have you heard the song Bad and running to stand still.. with or without you.. you need to hear it...
It's one of the greatest brainwashing songs of all time.
Good Lord how I miss music of the 80s
Thank you so much Larry: This song grounds me, or brings me back a place that can except the world and at least calm down a little bit. LOVE rescue me.
I always have loved this song, and iam depeche fan
"I've conquered the past, the future is here at last

Always sing the songs with the end verses. Makes the music far more beautiful.
These guys helped me during my depressing early teen years myself.
They missed a verse.

It's not about heroin addiction. Bono gives an explanation of the meaning in the book U2 by U2.
Thanks for the upload dear
This song is one of U2's best ❤😊
This song touches my soul , and not only for its message.... Wonderful !
this song speaks to me. it is perfect. god bless us all seeking a new life
From that golden era of music, what a decade it was
Given how I've been feeling as of late, This is EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!!. :-) Kudos, to both U2, BobDylan, & They UA-cam author of this video!!

" Jolly heart."

Great pen name.
Only LOVE can rescue mankind...
Bono, rescue me💚💚💚
Beautifully done. Godspeed.
I have never been much a U2 fan but WOW Bono u do do it well :)
The most Springsteen of all U2 songs. Beautiful.
Better than any of BS's BS.
Too poetic for Springsteen though both are tinged with the dust of Dylan
Springsteen pales greatly in comparison. Actually, there is no comparison. Springsteen is a lost soul.
Ignnore tha haters.

Love Rescue Me
U2
Album: Rattle and Hum
Love rescue me
Come forth and speak to me
Raise me up and don't let me fall
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison me
Love rescue me
Many strangers have I met
On the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me
They ask me to reveal
The very thoughts they would conceal
Love rescue me
And the sun in the sky
Makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea (c)
I'm here without a name
In the palace of my shame
Said, love rescue me
In the cold mirror of a glass
I see my reflection pass
See the dark shades of what I used to be
See the purple of her eyes
The scarlet of my lies
Love rescue me
Yea, though I walk
In the valley of shadow
Yea, I will fear no evil
I have cursed thy rod and staff
They no longer comfort me
Love rescue me
Sha la la, sha la la la
Sha la la la, ha la la
Sha la la la, sha la la la
Sha la la la, sha la la
Sha la la la, sha la la la
Sha la la
I said love, love rescue me
I said love
Climb up the mountains, said love
I said love, oh my love
On the hill of the son
I'm on the eve of a storm
And my word you must believe in
I said love, rescue me
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah I'm here without a name
In the palace of my shame
I said love rescue me
I've conquered my past
The future is here at last
I stand at the entrance
To a new world I can see
The ruins to the right of me
Will soon have lost sight of me
Love rescue me

Very well done. Great great song.

magnificent song
Would easily be found in the Psalms. Fits right in.

Thanks for putting up the words, this song makes me think of a very special friend of mine who sits in mountjoy jail this Christmas morning
Love is the key "If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have NOT LOVE, I gain nothing" LOVE REPLACE THY ROD AND STAFF WHEN JESUS CAME....
My pick me up song. It gives me strength

great song
Love the Adam´s bass
He makes a terrible mistake at 03:33, it's inexcusable sorry. Recorded in the legendary Sun Studio, ykes
goosebombs everytime!!!
Used to use this one to sing my daughter to sleep.
I fear that at the 4 minute mark I'd wake my child back up.
i wrote a lullaby in 1990 when my Christian-blues-rock band first started. swore back then that i'd never have a child but six years later she was born. that song was the only thing that would put her to sleep at night.
and in my lullaby the baby never falls out of a tree cradle and all btw.
Me too
@@billwilson5341 lmao
like A Course in Miracles, love is what rescues us
BEAUTY
Keep up the good work.
This song is about victory over Heroin addiction. No man is my enemy, my own hands they imprison me...
Spoken in the present tense - doesn't sound like victory!
I always saw it as universal.
Michelle Tomkinson: *"This song is about victory over Heroin addiction."* Where is your source on this?
@@billwilson5341 I would think that that is her own interpretation of the song as we all have ours.
@@phoebe5843 : Perhaps, but that is not what she wrote. I'm not disputing her. I'd truly like the source.

I can never do this one the same way twice. Too many harmonies!

It's about your failings, not other peoples'

Will my father be living in Great yarmouth as well. I believe this song is about me and my father. St Michael.
the right tune to be played by The Salvation Army.

Very loud for a small man - I adore them.
D'accord, le sujet est particulier (ex héroïnomane) mais c'est la plus belle et la meilleure interprétation de U2.

For example
"You broke the bonds,
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame
Oh, my shame,
you know I believe it
But I still haven't found What I'm looking for"
I have also cursed thy rod and staff. Love is my new religion!
