Valentines day 💕 💓 💖 reaction Chaka khan- your love is all that I know
I believe U2’s best most powerful and beautiful song is Pride ( in the name of love) written about Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. This song still gives me chills every time I hear it. Excellent song.
My fave U2 song
Excellent U2 song, Where the streets have no name & Sunday bloody Sunday are also excellent tracks.
Absolutely one of their best songs that still gives me goose bumps 👌🏻
Erin nailed it.
More MLK and Jesus than Malcolm.
Your first u2 reaction should have been one of their late 80s hits they’re best known for like: Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, With or Without You, and Where the Streets Have No Name
Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For and Where the Streets Have No Name - Definitely two favourites that Jay and Amber need to visit.
Apparently they did Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For and it got taken down.
@@Shrykespeare yes we did! If we still have it on our hard drive we may try to re-upload and see if we have better luck this time.
They said that they tried to do others and they were taken down
@@RobSquadReactions You should definitely react to U2's earlier output, you will be blown away. I would highly recommend the following songs as starting points in your U2 journey. Enjoy!
ONE
ANGEL OF HARLEM
PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE)
THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE
RUNNING TO STANDSTILL
DIRTY DAY
OCTOBER
U2 has a varitable treasure trove of hits. Sunday Bloody Sunday is my personal favorite. Hits all the feels.
New Years Day is my favorite.... but i waffle back and forth. 😃
Yes! Sunday Bloody Sunday is my favorite as well! 🤓
@@flinx649 fell in love with them with this song
U2 is a very socially conscious band. This song changes it's tone halfway through. After the 2nd chorus (where you paused the song) Bono sings about human rights violations and man destroying the planet. He juxtaposes a beautiful thing about the world with an ugly thing about the world. "See the world in green and blue" vs "See China right in front of you" (human rights violations). "See the canyons broken by clouds" vs "See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out". "See the Bedouin fires at night" vs " See the oil fields at first light". There is still hope though: "And see the bird with the leaf in her mouth. After the flood all the colors came out. After these lines the chorus changes to it WAS a beautiful day.
Weeellll... not quite. Sorry. Bono is highly religious and it often gets into the lyrics. The bird with the leaf in her mouth after the flood is a reference to Noah and the biblical flood. There are multiple themes in the song, true-but its more a spiritual or religious thing (im not religious by the way)
@@elcorado83 Also a tax dodger who hangs out with sex offenders...
@@hdmccart6735 Yawn. Troll
U2 played at the Superbowl after 9/11. It's a beautiful tribute and should be watched as it showed all the names of those that were lost that day.
Deep rabbit hole with this band. Saw them April 1983. "Two Hearts Beat as One" and "Pride (In the Name of Love)" are favorites! This song is from 2000. They were huge in the 80's and 90s. First album was 1980.
My opinion is their old music is best. My favorite is “Two Hearts Beat As One,” but anything from that War album is incredible. If you go to U2 Live At Red Rocks, any song you pick is outstanding!
I was lucky enough to see them in 92 At Dodgers Stadium in the12th row… the Zoo TV tour
Seen the same tour awesome show
I saw these guys in Kenan Stadium in beaUtiful Chapel Hill, NC on the first date of their WAR tour in '83. The day was cloudy for Grandmaster Flash and The Producers and went full thunderstorm by the time U2 hit the stage. For Sunday, Bloody Sunday Bono climbed 40 ft to the top of the lighting rig with a white flag on a pole waving it as lightning struck all around. Todd Rudgren was the headliner for the concert and only about 3-4K out of the original 30k were left. It was the most memorable concert I've ever seen. The Live at Red Rocks album was recorded on the same tour, but it doesn't come close the Chapel Hill concert.
My favorite U2 albums are the first three from 1980-1983. I Will Follow, from their first album Boy; Gloria from their second album October; and New Years Day from War (although 40 way be the most memorable song from the album).
@Shaun X I agree!!! My favorite also.
U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin, Ireland, formed in 1976. The only famous Band with just the same 4 members, for 44 years!
This is one of their later songs, but still carries an '80s sound (for me). They're Irish. My faves include MYSTERIOUS WAYS, NEW YEARS DAY, and WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME.
Beautiful Day got to number 1 in the UK singles chart in October 2000. Fine song. The aforementioned three are great as well.
Just some kids from Ireland when they started. To me U2 is GOAT. They really mixed it up over the years...very creative and diverse. Politically passionate. Bono has been very globally involved with funding for AIDS research and treatment. A band with a conscience.
they aint rush
"U2 Live Under a Blood Red Sky" at Red Rocks, Colorado is their best album in my opinion. You can still find most of that performance on UA-cam. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Year's Day" are their 2 best songs. They talk about the violence in Ireland over Christianity, an oxymoron. If you watch "New Year's Day", get to see The Edge go back and forth about a dozen times between piano and guitar.
Violence and christianity is not an oxymoron, they have been soulmates for centuries.
Still one of the best live shows recorded ever!
I'll never understand why they cut out the best parts of New Year's Day in the video & their Greatest Hits album. The only good New Year's Day is the original uncut studio version.
@@kingcassius2586 I totally agree 100%.
Fantastic record, been my favorite U2 album for nearly 40 years!
Please react to U2's "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" Great song! 👍
We’ve done it! I believe it was blocked and taken down. It was a great song!
I was just going to ask them to do the same. Although I was going to ask for the version they did with the gospel choir.
@@RobSquadReactions Have you done "Kyrie" by Mister Mister? It's another uplifting tune
best. version. ever.
@moon lite no we haven’t done that one yet!! Thank you, that sounds like a good one. We will check it out
The Joshua Tree is my all time favorite it was my first cds that I bought. It is full of amazing songs. One Tree Hill, With or Without You., I Still Haven't Found What I'm looking for, many others. They are one of my favorite groups. Running to Stand Still. Such good ones.
Mine too, Sharon!
EXIT!!
IMHO, The Edge was at his greatest on The Joshua Tree album. Some really memorable guitar riffs on that one.
Mothers of the disappeared is such a HEARTBRAKING song, makes me very emotional !!
I totally agree Sharron!!!
Amber’s face the first time that chorus kicked in is me every time I hear this song. I still get goosebumps when it plays, especially the last minute or so. It’s just so spiritual and fills you with peace and joy. “What you don’t have you don’t need it now.” Best lyric ever.
Pride in the name of love, all i want is you, with or without you, where the streets have no name
The word I use for the feeling when the chorus hits is "exuberance."
You should listen to "where the streets have no name" (also by u2)
For me: Achtung Baby is their best album, every song on there is a masterpiece. Beautiful Day is later on in their career. Still run with headphones to the first single I heard from them: I will follow. They have a religious backround. You feel that in their uplifting songs in my opinion. A concert of U2 is kind of like a church singing in a way.. that's how i feel. So much love and positivity. I always imagine that if you would just listen to audience applause without the music, you could always tell the audience at an U2 concert :- )
I love U2. Their music is so uplifting and they go all out with the production of their concerts. A few years ago the gave us an amazing album for free that was automatically uploaded to people's iTunes. Tons of people were upset for that. Like, what?!?! Free album! What's not to love. 🤦♂️🤷♂️
U2’s Live Aid performance was spectacular! Hard to compare performances of any of band for the whole day, because there were so many greats performing and my friends and I started drinking at the beginning and didn’t stop till the end!
( took a day or two to recover!)
Agreed! If not for Queen, U2 would have stolen the show that day.
@@leefriedman9882 Agree completely, Queen stole the show, but U2 were a close second
I was literally JUST on a U2 binge last night and I thought about sending you all some suggestions! These guys are so much fun to see in concert. I have seen them 3 times-twice with the U2 360° tour (at Michigan State, and Chicago respectively) and I saw The Joshua Tree 30th Anniversary tour in Detroit. Their concerts are a whole multimedia experience and even though it’s tightly produced (meaning they aren’t a jam band like Dave Matthews Band, and their concert is the same at every stop) they are SO fun. It’s a bucket list item to see them in Dublin-they’re huge over there. Like, I found a big mural of them painted in a Dublin alleyway of O’Connell Street Lower.
I am partial to The Joshua Tree album since I was only around 9 when it came out and it was like a whole phenomenon. Their sound with The Edge’s signature jangly guitar was something we’d never heard at the time. I also clearly remember seeing the “With or Without You” video and feeling some kinda way about Bono. 😂 My suggestion for a few more songs of theirs are “Where The Streets Have No Name,” “With or Without You,” “Sunday Bloody Sunday” and “One.” Both the U2 version of that song and the duet with Mary J. Blige are fantastic but I think you guys would really enjoy the version with Mary J.’s vocals.
To answer your question, the music was written by the band and Bono wrote the lyrics. And they’re very Bono-esque lyrics-he’s very vocal and active in social justice.
PS I was in a friend’s wedding in 2003 and we all exited to this song, so it always gives me feels 💜
That was such a GREAT tour!!!! (360 )
I didn't see them in a concert in Dublin, but I was over their for the Freedom of the City and they sang three songs at that. It was wonderful.
I’m so happy for you to do U2
We were so happy when we finished the song!
One of the Best bands of All time. Check out anything it's amazing!!!
formed in 1976, first album 1980, this song is from 2000. they have a whole catalog of great songs from 1980 to now
You'll love their song With or Without you.
“New Year’s Day” is a tremendous U2 song. Very moving too
I second "New Year's Day". It is my favorite song of theirs. I love the piano sections.
Just another note, if you are going to react to it, please do the original studio version. The versions in the live and greatest hits video's are cut.
U2 my go to playlist… my sister played this while walking into her wedding reception.. for a live version you will like “All I Want is You/“Where the Streets Have No Name” it’s so good!!!
This song came out around the time of 09/11. And there was a like a month after that darkness where this song took on another meaning.
"It's a beautiful day, don't let it get away."
Love U2 Sunday, Bloody Sunday is one of my favorites
Gotta do "Where the Streets Have No Name", and "All I Want Is You"...❤❤❤❤
Live from Slane Castle
Also “Bad”. Bono’s Live Aid performance was incredible.
Stay safe, stay sane, be well
Love love LOVE U2! This is one of the most successful bands in history. They've reinvented themselves so many times and they always sound fantastic. I saw them on tour for the first time in 1984 and I've been a fan ever since. They really are the quintessential rock and roll band!
they won grammies left and right to this when everyone else was doing some of the most shallow pop ever they came out and crushed everyone with this album
One (Best U2 song IMO), Stay (Faraway So Close), All I Want Is You, Desire, With or Without You, (Pride) In the Name of Love, Where the Streets Have No Name
This is such an uplifting song, probably my favorite by U2. Some of the others mentioned are their biggest songs but this one always puts a smile on my face :)
Finally U2! I've been a fan of this Irish band since the 80's. A lot of their early songs from that era were about "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland, &were antiwar including two of my favorites, "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" & "New Year's Day". Throughout their decades long existence, they continue to tackle social issues in their music. They have a HUGE discography of incredible music to choose from. Some of my suggestions (& favs), in addition to the 2 I've mentioned include "Pride (In the Name of Love)", "Where the Streets Have No Name", "With or Without You", "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", "ONE", "Bullet the Blue Sky", "Ordinary Love", "Bad", "I Will Follow", "Please", "Mysterious Ways", "The Unforgettable Fire", "Breathe", "Until the End of the World", "Desire", "When Love Comes to Town" (with BB King), "Drowning Man", "Sweetest Thing" & "Van Diemen's Land"'. You will be revisiting the work of this amazing band a lot, I predict. Try to watch some of their "official" videos - they're really quite cinematic & some live performances, in addition to ones with lyrics. .
I feel the same way about this song, Amber. That chorus is transcending. It's makes me want to hold my arms to the blue sky and sun and smile ( maybe spin, a bit😉)
This is such a fantastic song. However, if I were you, I would listen to their entire 2002 Superbowl halftime show (this was one of the songs). If you're not absolutely bawling by the end of it I couldn't begin to guess why not. This definitely hits harder for those whom 9/11 is still a sharp memory. There's a documentary on this as well, and it is amazing how much healing that halftime show was at the time. You really need to find some time to watch these, I think it will inspire you. You could even do a "special feature" where the only reaction you do for that day is the halftime show.
Yes! Great performance!
100% agree. 4 guys from Dublin who instinctively knew just how to heal and honor America... all at the same time.
Couldn’t agree more!!
It's one of the few times I've understood the Christian concept of grace.
I watched that performance live. When they played this song it felt like the first ime America could celebrate again after 9/11. Their performance lifted the weight of despair off my shoulders... and perhaps the nation's shoulders. I think that was the best live performance I've ever seen.
I love U2! They are definitely in a class of their own! Their lyrics are so poignant and emotional! You can tell they are writing from the heart! This is not early U2 , this song was released in 2000! I love Bono’s voice!❤️❤️
‘Grace’, ‘One’, ‘With or without you’…. So many great songs!!! So much with meaning…. Got to see them 4-5 yrs ago at Soldiers Stadium in Chicago (63,000 fans!) such REAL conscientious people!
Not to be condescending or critical but it "Soldier Field".
@@donnakubiski5572 dang, you’re right!! And I knew that… was so overwhelmed at the moment writing it I flubbed! Thanks! Such a great time!!!
This is the poppy side of U2, which is excellent. The more serious “alternative” side is equally excellent. Check out “Mysterious Ways” from Achtung Baby for more pop, and the phenomenal live version of “Bad” from Wide Awake in America for more alternative.
**EDIT** The live version of “Bad” from Live Aid is DEFINITELY better than the one I mentioned above :)
I love U2 but this song admittedly wasn’t my favorite back when it came out. I like it now, especially in concert, but their pre-Y2K music is where it’s at for me.
Bad is my favorite song. It will knock their socks off if they play it. Any Achtung Baby song is money. TUF album….
Live version of Bad!!! Such a must!!!
I second "Mysterious Ways." An experience of a song, every listen.
I forgot all a out "Mysterious Ways!" I'm going to put it on my play list right away!
U2 is a deep deep rabbit hole. This song came out in 2000 but they started in the late 70s. But got really big in the 80s with their best album, IMO, The Joshua Tree. With songs like "with or without you," "I still haven't found what I'm looking for,' and "Where the streets have no name." But you really won't find a bad song of theirs.
Probably my favorite band of all time...up there with Chicago (With Terry Kath) and the Clash (can't explain it, just love them), Steely Dan, ELP, Yes...ok, I like a lot of bands...but U2....OMG...from their early stuff on. This is later U2.
But for older U2, go with "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "New Years Day", "Two Hearts Beat as One" and my ALL TIME FAVE U2, "Pride (in the name of love)" some serious stuff. Mid-career go with "Where the Streets Have no Name" and "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" or "With or WIthout You" or....there is SO MUCH!
Welcome to one of the greatest bands to bless us with their music. Bono is probably one of the best frontmen and song writers ever. Thanks for finally dropping some U2.
Beautiful Day was written by all members of U2. Glad to see you experiencing this awesome, intense band! Luv me some Bono/U2. And Bono is pronounced Ba-No. :-)
Oh no! I would have never pronounced it right if you wouldn’t of said something! I would have thought it was pronounced exactly how it reads. Thank you!
Her reaction at 2.30
Right there - that's why it's my favourite U2 song, and my favourite song of all time.
This. Is. Music.
Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️
I find this song inspirational. U2 really hit it on all cylinders with this one.
You should react to U2 “One” with Mary J Blige. I love that version, Mary takes the song to another level.
Next Stops:
"Sunday Bloody Sunday," live, Red Rocks
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," Official Music Video
"All I Want is You / Where the Street Have No Name," live, Slane Castle (must be the full video, not just the audio version)
This song was inspired by the a-ha song "The Sun Always Shines On Tv", especially the part "Touch me" is a direct reference to a-ha's song. I love both songs very much, especially The Sun Always Shines On TV is one of a-ha's and best 80ies song ever.
LOVE LOVE LOVE U2. You got to react to more..... Sunday Bloody Sunday, All I want is You, Angel of Harlem. You can't go wrong with any U2 song. They're all great.
U2 is a very deep well. This song came out in 2000 (there's more since) and their first album was released in 1980. "I Will Follow", "Gloria", "New Years Day", "Pride (In the Name of Love)","Where the Streets Have No Name", "Mysterious Ways", "Elevation", "Vertigo", "Magnificent" ...
for me there first four albums were absolutely magic!
80’s, 90’s, 2000’s this is 2000’s. Sooooooo much great music for you guys to discover for sure. New Year’s Day, a tribute MLK is the song Pride, Where The Streets Have No Name, With or Without You, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For 80’s. One, Mysterious Ways, Stay 90’s and so many more uplifting songs.
I was stationed in Germany in the early 80's when some of my buddies came back from a local disco and they were so excited about the band that was playing there. So the next night I went and they were right the band was incredible. They were selling a 4 song tape of their own music which I bought. Years later I heard the song "I will Follow" on the radio. I dug that 4 song tape out and sure enough "I will Follow" was on it. So yes I saw U2 live in a small town disco in Germany.
Hi, I am from Germany, big U2 Fan since the late 80s. Saw them over 10 times live Love you're personal story about U2 ! 👍
"Running to stand still" is great too, highly recommend
My favorite of all their songs. Great pick!
You could fall down an almost endless rabbit hole with this band. Legends. One of the reasons I love them so much - aside from their musical genius - is that they are dedicated philanthropists, tackling HIV, child hunger and climate change issues. Their positive imprint on the world, in so many ways, will be their legacy. This is "later" U2.
Pride (In The Name of Love) and Mysterious Ways are two you need to hear.
Wow U2 love them. Saw them in concert 2010. The concert was fantastic, you have to experience the show it was mind-blowing. Great reaction.
I never took to U2 until the Achtung Baby album. They completely reinvented themselves with that album. Still some traces of their old selves in there but otherwise. The Fly is an amazing track, so radically different for them and even today you can feel the risks they took in production.
How they went from the Joshua Tree sound to The Fly in a span of 4 years is incredible. So bold to change direction like that especially when they had their 80's success. That's why i love that song so much.
One is such a deep song, even 30 years later.
My favourite by them will always be the Joshua Tree, but that transition was what makes them one of the all time bands. After bringing out Rattle & Hum and getting a sub satisfactory reception, to just radically change tack like that was unbelievably ballsy and courageous. They didn't know if it would work, and it ended up working spectacularly. That album entrenched their place in the musical hall of fame and ensured that people knew and remembered the U2 name for decades to come
U2 are an incredible band. They are always reinventing themselves and staying relevant in “flavor of the month “ industry. They have been at the highest level of the recording industry for over 40 years. This is a very deep rabbit hole you can dive into.
I got to see U2 in concert twice (for different tours) when I was a teenager and early 20s. They are one of my favorite bands.
The lyrics of this song are great. My favorite lines are "What you don't have, you don't need it now. What you don't know, you can feel somehow." That's so in line with the spirit of the song, feeling at peace with where you are in life.
Thank you for finally reacting to U2. Please dive into some of their less than "hit" songs. "Mothers of the Disappeared" and "Angel of Harlem" are both incredible songs.
I don't normally listen to U2, but I LOVE this song! Special feelings/memories of becoming free, and driving in the autumn sun with the leaves falling all around. This song, and that one by the Matthew Good band where he sings "one day you just decompose and you wake up and those birds are singing, those birds are singing". That was a special day! And this song helped make it that way. ❤
I've been into U2 since about 1980,you have no idea how they have evolved and become something completely them.
I think Bono won't mind me saying that he and the rest of the band are good if not great at your own talent, however if there ever was a band that could only be this great as a band then it's U2.
Bono is so underrated maybe as a song writer, don't think he loses much sleep over that.so from me a 58yrs old from Manchester UK, thanks U2 for being yourselves.
So many fantastic songs from U2, WITH OR WITHOUT YOU always captivates me, it's just beautiful, pure joy to listen to...
U2 have revamped their image & sound over the years, but have always wrote solid songs with lots of hits. Their albums *War* & *Unforgettable Fire* are exceptional starting points for more reactions. Saw them on St. Patricks Day on the Fire tour 🤟
Love that you reacted to U2! Their first album was released in 1979, and they're still making music! This song (Beautiful Day) was from the year 2000. You should listen to Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride (In the Name of Love), Bad, With or Without You (my favorite!), and All I Want is You - all from various albums in the mid-80's.
Also, Bono's name is pronounced BAH-no. 🙂
Again, I LOVE seeing you react to U2 - thank you!!
Window in the Skies by them is absolutely stunning
U2. The loves of my life. A fan from the beginning for which I thank my crazy older sister. She saw them in Chicago about 1980 or 1981. She had sent me their music and my 10 year old self was in total amazement! She snuck out to their concert (all girl’s school) and was expelled the next day. Dad went to pick her up the next morning and by the afternoon she was telling me “It was well worth it!” I myself have seen them in concert 5 times and met them once! One of the best days of my life! “It was a Beautiful Day!” I was trying to play it cool when I was talking to The Edge (Dave Evans - incredible guitar and piano player, along with those harmonies he belts out with Bono) but I couldn’t stop staring at his beautiful deep blue eyes! Talking to Bono (Paul David Hewson) I thought I was going to faint. Bono can sing opera. You should check out the song “Miss Sarajevo” where he sang about the war in Bosnia with Luciano Pavarotti. Adam Clayton is such a genuinely nice guy and one of the best bass players ever, along with John Taylor of Duran Duran). He was lovely to talk to, they all were with the exception of the founder of U2, drummer Larry Mullen Jr. whom I did not meet. I was so bummed out especially since Larry is my favorite!
They have a 40 years plus career and I still get the chills when “Where The Streets Have No Name” starts! It’s like going to church!
However, my absolute favorite song is “A Sort of Homecoming” - Live version. Their album - The Unforgettable Fire (and song) is one of my favorites.
Thank you so very much for your reaction!
😄 the parallels, my older sister introduced me to U2 as well! Since then we go to every U2 live tour together . We where incredible lucky to meet the guys at their hotel in Berlin a few years ago. Meeting Bono...It was like meeting the Dalai Lama 😄 a crazy spiritual experience. My sister shaked hands with The Edge and I was able to get an autogramm from Adam on my jacket (never washed it since that day 😁) I will never forget this day...it was realy a beautiful day 😊
@@griesi31 It’s one of the most incredible feelings in the world to meet someone you admire, isn’t? I know exactly how you felt. I hope to have the opportunity once again. We can all dream? Right? ❤️💯
I so love this song. I love U-2. They are amazing to see in concert. You leave with such a spiritual feeling. Sounds weird, but it’s so true. I saw them 4 x’s. All 4 times they were great!
We can’t wait to do more!

They have so many great songs.
I would do Sunday Bloody Sunday next. That was one of there 1st hits. You will definitely love it.
@@aks4204 for sure!
@@RobSquadReactions I have to tell you Amber. I never realized how many concerts I went to until I started watching your channel. I knew I went to quite a few , but damn, I went to a lot of concerts. My only concert regret was not feeling like going to see MIchael Jackson on the day of the show. I sold my ticket to a friend. It was in NY (I live in CT) and I just didn’t feel like going out that day. What an ass! 😂That was a huge mistake. I did see Janet Jackson & she was crazy good. I was 8 months pregnant & the baby did a lot of dancing that day too. LoL 😂
@@aks4204 I bet you were the cutest thing jamming out to Janet at 8 months pregnant. I can’t wait to go see a concert! I never really cared to go to one until this channel and now I can’t wait! We are waiting for Luca to be a little older so we can get away to go to one! We can’t wait to make memories like all the ones you mentioned.
Dig deep and go down the rabbit hole with this band. They are in their FIFTH decade as a relevant band. Go back to the beginning and work your way forward. Sunday Bloody Sunday is very early days, and an incredible song. Saw them live in Hawaii way back then (80's), and again for this tour in 2000/2001 in Vancouver Canada. They are incredible live.
You two finally discovering U2. Gosh it was about time. I can't even describe how deep their rabbit hole of good music is. Pure greatness! I'm a huge fan. So enjoy the experiance.
Glad you liked U2, they are one of my fav bands, so many great tunes that still hold up today.
If you want to hear them rock out, try "Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me" and "Vertigo."
This was late in the carreer. Believe me when I say you've just scratched the surface. A good U2 101 course is their concert in Red Rocks, Colorado "Under a Blood Red Sky". Amazing and uplifting. You're welcome.
You picked 3 great ones today!! They did this at a previous Super Bowl halftime, and JUST CHECK IT OUT!
Unbelievable live show! Saw them twice back in the 80's and have love U2 since the first time I heard one of their songs on the radio.
Jay...it's a soft "o" first "o" and hard for the second: Bon-no
Another GREAT reaction for a great song! Deep, deep rabbit hole if you want to venture on...,🐇
Thank you! Bah No works too. So many reactors call him bone no. Ugh
Yeah. Alyways bugs me that Americans can't say Bono correctly.
@@danielleeskelton I'm sure part of it is knowing/hearing about Sonny Bono with Cher before U2. Although I remember S&C as an older kid and Bono of U2 as a midteen.
Living it can be helpful.
U2 is unbelievable! Saw them in 1992 with Achtung baby tour or zoo tv tour! Crazy, crazy great! I think they are better live! You guys haven’t even scratched the surface of their song catalog! I have lived them since their debut song Gloria, Sunday Bloody Sunday, pride,etc etc!! Remember that their roots come from Ireland and the ongoing problems between Northern Ireland/England and Ireland! Awesome band!!!!
That was a phenomenal tour! I saw them at the Boston Garden on St. Patrick's Day 1992. One of the top three concerts I've seen.
@@scottsprague8502 I did too! We drove from Albany so we could see them on St. Patrick's Day in Boston. Great concert!
This band has at least 20 songs that most older people recognize. Start with something from War, Sunday, bloody Sunday and New Year's Day and then Still haven't found what I'm looking for and All I want is you.
Creative yes! U2 certainly was. check out "With or Without You", "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses", "In God's Country", "Mysterious Ways", "Where The Streets Have No Name" and most definitely do, "Pride (In the name of Love)". All awesome songs and show how creative they truly are! You always make me smile - Thank you guys.
You've got to try "The Wanderer." Written by Bono, but he turned over the lead vocals duty to Johnny Cash. A classic!
Great pick! It’s such a perfect Rob Squad song: Positive, upbeat, wailing about the beauty of being alive on a beautiful planet with beautiful people all over the world. Early U2 songs are raw, heavily political, phenomenal bangers. Later songs are more sophisticated musically with deeper lyrical content. Anything up to this song is great. This is their last big hit IMHO, and they’ve fallen out of flavor over the last decade. Still their first 8 albums are each a revelation, with “War,” “Joshua Tree” and “Achtung Baby” being my favorites. Take a dive if they’ll let you. Great band! 🔥🤣
This one still carries some socio-political statements. I.e. see the tuna fleets clearing the sea (over fishing of tuna was a hot topic around the time this song came out) and the prior line about China may have been touching on published reports of the time that indicated China was flaunting internationally developed quotas on tuna, the Bedouin fires / oil fields dichotomy may touch on some reports that were published in that time period about the loss of the romanticised nomadic Bedouin culture as they turned to oil production instead of shepherding
Even in the fun pop style tunes, U2 can drop some commentary. But as with most songs, people can develop their own meaning, so it could be that none of that was intentional in the lyrics and I just wedged it in.
an uplifting, self-explanatory song from this little irish band 😉 wonderful, always beautiful
My favorite songs are "In God's Country", "One Tree Hill" and "One". The album "The Joshua Tree" is an absolute masterpiece. Saludos
I remember back in the 80s, reading a newspaper article debating if they were the best band of all time, and they went on long after that time. Another band you must cover that gives me similar vibes is the Police/Sting.
One of my all time favorite bands, there’s a hundred more songs by them that span 40 years for you to hear now. They’re one of the most consequential international artists in rock history. Have fun.
Now do YEAR OF THE CAT BY AL STEWART. I’ll continue to remind you until it gets done, and it will happen eventually as all UA-cam reaction channels listen to it and love it; it’s universally liked. Get on it!
That first line… “The heart is abloom
Shoots up through the stony ground …” incredible.
This is my favorite U2 song. Not only do I love the message, as well as the actual vibe of the song, but it reminds me of my mom who passed away. She always used to say “It’s a beautiful day”
You should check out their early stuff. My I suggest the album “War”.
I fell in love with this band from their first album Boy. Such a great band and I share some Irish lineage. So much grest music to go into from them. This is later in their career. The lyric videos are fine. So is John Hiatt - Have a Little Faith in Me. ua-cam.com/video/-RWEseP-ouk/v-deo.html
I have loved U2 for 30 years! Mysterious Ways, Pride, Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Desire,When Love Come To Town!
I'm sooooo happy you did U2! This band is so amazing. I can't think of a song you should do because you should do all of them. The diversity of this band will shake you. Thanks again for this one!
You should check out the U2/Mary J Blige version of “One”. Their original track is also amazing, but Mary really brings a new tone to it. 🔥🔥🔥
YES PLEASE
That one is awesome, good call.
It’s so gooooood! Mary J’s vocals work beautifully with their sound, and Bono is more than happy to step back and let her magical voice do its thing.
Michelle, you're right.
This is from their 2000 album, All That You Can’t Leave Behind, one of their better albums. You’ve definitely got to listen to ‘Walk On’ from this album. And ‘Elevation’ is a really up-tempo (and popular) song from this album I’m sure you’ll like as well, one that’s really hard to listen to and stay seated; it was in the Tomb Raider movie soundtrack.
Amber and Jordan will definitely like Elevation. Truly a song to jump up and down! I also really like the song In A Little While from that same album. A less obvious one. I was so glad they played this at their concert years ago.
Love the reaction vid! You both have a great vibe when listening to new music. Great song, as a U2 fan of many decades one of my favorites that came later in their career. A lot of U2 fans love to hear stuff from Joshua Tree (1987) or Achtung Baby (1991). U2 has hits from before and after those albums but you can't go wrong with any song from either album.
U2 "ordinary love" felt so good it actually makes me tear up every time I hear it
come on...if you are starting an U2 Journey...start with "New Years Day" or "Sunday Bloody Sunday"!!!
The Sunday Bloody Sunday has been the most suggested song in this comment section so far. We will move it to the top of the list!
Yeah agreed on that!
@@RobSquadReactions thanks!
@@RobSquadReactions please do their live version from live under a blood red sky concert
U2 “Sunday Bloody Sunday “ , a banger , their older stuff is better imo, more political ,more raw, much of it based on the troubles in Northern Ireland and civil rights globally.
One of all my all time favorites from U2
Fortunate enough to see U2 twice on their world tours in Oz (1989 and 2010) 🇦🇺🦘🦋🐨the are poetic & musical geniuses, sound fantastic live & they have so much incredible music you’re yet to discover.
