I remember reading an interview with The Edge about the 20th Anniversary edition of Achtung Baby and he mentioned this version of WGRYWH and how he was totally blown away when he rediscovered it. He was questioning whether it is better than the album version. I can't really say, I do love the album version but this one really is incredible. It must have been crazy just stumbling across a "demo" that is this perfect.
Song Lyrics: You’re innocence, I’m experience And the windows of my room all look over you Now the night has turned a different kind of blue Though it’s too late, as you walk away Black, was I asking you to stay I’m a sinner, you’re the holy child But your secret heart is a savage Scratching at my door And your lips of blood have me screaming out For more and more You cry, I’d kill for you I lied, you made it true Who’s gonna ride your wild horses Who’s gonna drown in your blue sea Who’s gonna ride your wild horses Who would take the place of me Took a drive in the dirty rain Out to a place where the wind calls her name Under the trees the river laughing As she turns away At the car door slam And you back scratch, tear off Your relief for love And you beg, steal, lie Like a thief for love She says Come on now love, don’t you look back Turn to love Who’s gonna ride your wild horses Who’s gonna ride your wild horses Who’s gonna fall at the foot of thee Oh now I want you now Where are you now The days are deep And the night’s too mean Were you talking to me Was it someone else I could hear you better When you cried for me You do what you meant Not what you said Follow you down to the end Baby Don’t turn around, don’t turn around again Don’t turn around, your gypsy heart Don’t turn around, don’t turn around again Don’t turn around, and don’t look back Come on now love, don’t you look back Turn around Who’s gonna ride your wild horses
Omg.. first off, u can see Bono scat singing, working out lyrics. It’s so cool to see where they would’ve taken bit from here and there and moving them around for the Final Cut. But my god, the Edges extra guitar parts are gold! I can’t even fathom why they changed any of that.. the final minute and a bit is pure 🔥.. dang I’m listening on repeat 😊
Наверное, одна из самых красивых песен в их творчестве. Аккорды создают какую-то масштабную, величественную картину, передают чувство простора и свободы. Завершающая мелодия словно вселяет надежду... Чудесно!
Wow how in the world do they take one of their absolute best songs, rearrange it, and make it better? Are they just sitting around and someone says hey I’ve got an idea.... I mean its genius on another level.
Hi Markus, Go to UA-cam and listen to Mercy a six minute stonker of song which in their minds wasn't good enough then listen to a 4 minute version bastardize version live a couple of tours ago with a stupid chorus. Let me know what you think. Bono on the 6 minute one is immense at the end.
@@kirit1665 I agree on Mercy, the stinker version on youtube was a masterpiece, how do you go from THAT to the crappy live version they conjured up. Honestly they need to be saved from themselves sometimes.
The best song ever by U2 including the original on Achtung Baby album … this song never dies it’s eternal 💫⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏 I was a school kid in Woluwé -St -Lambert in Brussels I was 20 what a memory it makes me sad those were the days !!!🇧🇪🇮🇪⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥺🙏
I love the 2:42 / 4:27 sequence. They could have found use for that wailing high note by Bono, it sounds fab. Also Bono sounds more powerful on the 2:35 ”come on now love doncha look back” -bit, as well. Compared to the AB version, that is. To me it sounds like Bono started losing a bit of his voice as the sessions proceeded.
I found this searching for the Temple Bar-Remix version (definitely inferior IMHO to the album version)...this cut is really cool. Thanks for posting. U2 was such a great band that even their demo-type stuff killed.
I want you now Where are you now The days are deep And the night’s too mean Were you talking to me Was it someone else I could hear you better When you cried for me You do what you meant Not what you said Follow you down to the end
Is it really for kids or babies? My boys always loved u2, rem, chili peppers, anything I listened to, Peart Jam, Smashing pumpkins, Hole, They loved it all.
+mikeis It appears on second album from the Box Set de Luxe Kindergarten versions uncut... who knows is better than the final Masterpiece Achtung Baby...
It's from the "Achtung Baby 20th Anniversary Edition", a version of the full album was made abailable as a "Baby" Mix. It was part of a Special Edition 6 CD + 4 DVD Box Set called "Super Deluxe Edition" -There's a bigger one caled Über Deluxe Edition priced at +$500 (USD)-
I believe it was originally released with the achtung baby 20th anniversary box set, on a bonus CD called “kindergarten” with early versions of all the songs from the album. Don’t know if you can buy Kindergarten separately, worth a look tho. Hope that helps
While this version is very good… it is clearly unfinished and unpolished. Whoever took it from this… to the album version (and better yet the single version) is the real genius!!
Whoah! I always liked this song but the boys made a mistake here I think: this vibe is much better than even what they ultimately went with! Excellent tune 👌
Glad Edge went the direction of industrial experimentation on the final version of this track - getting rid of those "edge style" traditional "chimming" notes found on this version
Sorry i do not agree that chime is an edge trademark...THIS is the edge and that makes him unique...i miss that sound of unforgettable fire and joshua tree ....
I’m having some of the worst weeks of my life and luckily Achtung Baby is always there for me. Best album next to Joshua Tree.
Just a random stranger here wishing you the best as you work your way through this rough time - stay strong and good luck !
There is ALWAYS light at the end of the tunnel.
I really hope your day is going better..and that things are on the improve
@@sharynhonor5084 Thanks you so much for writting! Things are getting better little by little.
I really hope that in these times..that you can get through whatever works for you in the best ways
It took me a few plays to warm up to this version, but now I almost like it better than the original. Love the intro and outro for sure.
You are so right❤

Song Lyrics:
You’re innocence, I’m experience
And the windows of my room all look over you
Now the night has turned a different kind of blue
Though it’s too late, as you walk away
Black, was I asking you to stay
I’m a sinner, you’re the holy child
But your secret heart is a savage
Scratching at my door
And your lips of blood have me screaming out
For more and more
You cry, I’d kill for you
I lied, you made it true
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses
Who’s gonna drown in your blue sea
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses
Who would take the place of me
Took a drive in the dirty rain
Out to a place where the wind calls her name
Under the trees the river laughing
As she turns away
At the car door slam
And you back scratch, tear off
Your relief for love
And you beg, steal, lie
Like a thief for love
She says
Come on now love, don’t you look back
Turn to love
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses
Who’s gonna fall at the foot of thee
Oh now
I want you now
Where are you now
The days are deep
And the night’s too mean
Were you talking to me
Was it someone else
I could hear you better
When you cried for me
You do what you meant
Not what you said
Follow you down to the end
Baby
Don’t turn around, don’t turn around again
Don’t turn around, your gypsy heart
Don’t turn around, don’t turn around again
Don’t turn around, and don’t look back
Come on now love, don’t you look back
Turn around
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses
“I’d hear what you meant, not what you said”
Thank you for posting the lyrics. Amazing
Heavy lyrics
@@gary2700I agree. I also hear “the days are empty”
one of the best guitar riffs I've ever taken. his playings are not only beautiful but also powerful
Not heard this version in years. Outstanding. I think it's .....
Even better than the real thing. 😎
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Good one XD
Wish it was on Spotify!
Omg.. first off, u can see Bono scat singing, working out lyrics. It’s so cool to see where they would’ve taken bit from here and there and moving them around for the Final Cut.
But my god, the Edges extra guitar parts are gold! I can’t even fathom why they changed any of that.. the final minute and a bit is pure 🔥.. dang I’m listening on repeat 😊
This version is better because of The Edge's extra guitar riffs🎸🎸🎸
Bono plays the acoustic guitar, same with the original one
hell yeah, I agree, such perfect calm open highway driving music to drift off in that trance...
But the lyrics in the official version are so much better.
@@ChrisOliver4307 I completely agree with you
@@ChrisOliver4307 these are more like stream of consciousness lyrics. The AB version is sharper, more focused.
amazing band. hope they play forever
I love this version so much
Наверное, одна из самых красивых песен в их творчестве. Аккорды создают какую-то масштабную, величественную картину, передают чувство простора и свободы. Завершающая мелодия словно вселяет надежду... Чудесно!
is it just me or is this one of the most beautiful edge guitar sounds ever at the end solo?
Yes I agree.
I have all there album s listened to every song and versions live here and everywhere and this is the edge at his best.
Согласен!!
The end solo is what makes it my favorite version.
When you think they reached perfection, they do this. What an amazing band. Best of the world. Thank you U2.
just wow..first time hearing this version...this is the Best!
Beautiful version...!
I love U2....
The Edge playing a Fender Strat through a VOX AC 30! What can go wrong? I just love this to the death!! :-D
Oh my ✌ the best version. Im 15 angain. This version should have been on the album ✌
Sorry, I can like just one time... I love this song!
Me too
@@rolandszutis6929 heh, same thing here
count in me in as well!
Wow how in the world do they take one of their absolute best songs, rearrange it, and make it better? Are they just sitting around and someone says hey I’ve got an idea.... I mean its genius on another level.
this is accepted as the prequel not the sequel.
I have every album. Cassette tapes live and studio. This is the Edge in one of his best grooves.
Que gran version, una obra de arte. Argentina 11-10-2020
U2 at their best
This is absolutely one of thir best arguably better than the album version in my opinion
Simply the best version, more guitar based. Edge is sublime as always and has a wonderful finish
Agree 🤴🥬!!!

No
the edge and all his colors exploding like fireworks
Superb version!
Essa música é linda. Os acordes finais trazem recordações de minha saudosa mãe. Lembranças boas
4:40 how does the Edge make the guitar sound like bullet ricochet!!??
Harmonics and a whole lotta soul
@@pageluvva Can you imagine the professionalism and discipline it takes to leave such a sound off the song in the final version.
The best song ever by U2 including the original on Achtung Baby album … this song never dies it’s eternal 💫⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏 I was a school kid in Woluwé -St -Lambert in Brussels I was 20 what a memory it makes me sad those were the days !!!🇧🇪🇮🇪⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥺🙏
Priceless!!
Nice share one of my old favourites
Way better than the album version
Wooww thank God for U2
Holy crap. WOW. 3:50 to the end 😍
M A G I C
I don't know why by for me it is the best vesrion of this song.
I agree
I love the 2:42 / 4:27 sequence. They could have found use for that wailing high note by Bono, it sounds fab. Also Bono sounds more powerful on the 2:35 ”come on now love doncha look back” -bit, as well. Compared to the AB version, that is. To me it sounds like Bono started losing a bit of his voice as the sessions proceeded.
His vibrato and control on "loooove" are out of this world. That note is spine tingling.
@@fallinginthed33p Wow you're right.. Amazing control as well
I agree with you 👍... I find it different and better😉
It’s the same falsetto note he uses at the end of ‘One’.
Que talentos!!🌹🌹
Que Grandes!!❤️❤️

Got an INXS feel to it.
Yep waaay better than the album version..
Superb version much more exciting than the original
I love this
I found this searching for the Temple Bar-Remix version (definitely inferior IMHO to the album version)...this cut is really cool. Thanks for posting. U2 was such a great band that even their demo-type stuff killed.
I want you now
Where are you now
The days are deep
And the night’s too mean
Were you talking to me
Was it someone else
I could hear you better
When you cried for me
You do what you meant
Not what you said
Follow you down to the end
Listenjng to this versio for...24hrs xonstantly
Great groove in this version, maybe better than the original?
Nah man. It’s interesting none the less.
Most things are better than the original. Few are better than the Temple Bar.
U2 por siempre y para siempre
This demo eventually became 3 songs. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, Miracle Drug and City Of Blinding Lights.
Interesting, where did you get this from?
It also inspired the idea for songs of innocence and songs of experience.
On a day off sadness I had to play this
Linda versão!
Much better than the final version which was too bombastic, this has a subtlety to it that's better
Meilleure groupe du monde
that,s awesome Chris, thx so much man
Is this from the Hansa Sessions?
Better than the released version...read somewhere that they hated this song and that it never really worked...
the edge guitar💪💪💪
thought i'd heard all of u2's demo's and outtakes
Nunca había escuchado ésa versión muy buena x favor 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sounds like The Edge has the Rickenbacker on this one.
When I read your comment it makes sense - I was wondering why it sounded out of tune when I was playing to it and that could be why. Good catch!
@@Joseph-vn8ghyeah thanks, definitely sounds like the 12 string. Can’t believe I made that comment 5 years ago…
I'm getting REM vibes from this.
0:52 - 1:02 wish they keep that style...the rest of the song could be all the same as the final version
this is so wonderfull .....
Is it really for kids or babies? My boys always loved u2, rem, chili peppers, anything I listened to, Peart Jam, Smashing pumpkins, Hole, They loved it all.
U✌🏻
forever
✌🏻🎸✨
This great
Majstersztyk👏
is there an official lyric writeup for this version anywhere?
❤️
I like it too!
THEIR BEST SONG IN THE WHOLE WORLD PEOPLE!!!!!
version maravilhosa ......
👍u2
The check-board, did it really need a 'Title' column?
Nice nice all nice

Wow! I've never heard this before. I used to have the 3 disc Achtung Baby sessions but this wasn't on there. Where'd it come from?
-Michael

Pedro D. Bernui L. I’m blown away as to why they didn’t put this one on the album; it’s incredible
where did you find this? i love it
This demo sounded like Queensryche's Silent Lucidity at the start
i'm afraid that's just a bad dream spinning in your head.....your mind tricked you
is this available to buy? Do you think the CD is online somewhere? The disadvantages of being a latecomer fan. Thanks if anyone can help
I believe it was originally released with the achtung baby 20th anniversary box set, on a bonus CD called “kindergarten” with early versions of all the songs from the album. Don’t know if you can buy Kindergarten separately, worth a look tho. Hope that helps

Sorry i do not agree that chime is an edge trademark...THIS is the edge and that makes him unique...i miss that sound of unforgettable fire and joshua tree ....
anotherwaytafkash that’s not what the band were going for. They were changing direction, hence the album version
@BlueBoy 1 the chime wasn't a change in direction, it's a signature edge sound he used in the 80's, did you see what I was replying to?
@@lizhorne923 don't get me wrong; i really like this version also!
Hautentiquekkkk song for u2
Muito bom!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I like bono music
quero agora
GEHOVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Bono. Bono. Bono.P
I'm one of the few that isnt actung babys biggest fan. To me it's ok could be better. This kindergarten version is the better version
THIS VERSION IS ABSOLUTE CRAP COMPARED TO THE REAL SONG ON ACHTUNG BABY. WHO'S GONNA RIDE YOUR WILD HORSES.
