    Lyrics:
    You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
    You say you want your story to remain untold.
    All the promises we make
    From the cradle to the grave
    When all I want is you.
    You say you'll give me a highway with no-one on it
    Treasure, just to look upon it
    All the riches in the night.
    You say you'll give me eyes in the moon of blindness
    A river in a time of dryness
    A harbour in the tempest.
    All the promises we make, from the cradle to the grave
    When all I need is you.
    You say you want your love to work out right
    To last with me through the night.
    You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
    Your story to remain untold
    Your love not to grow cold.
    All the promises we break, from the cradle to the grave
    When all I want is you.

    Thirty five years since the summer of 1989....sitting in a car with the boy I loved. Longing in his eyes...playing me this song for the first time. The music washes over me and I'm right back in that car at age 18 with my whole life ahead of me. Given the power to go back and do it again, I'd have never let him go. Powerful song. 35 years seems like a minute ago. That six minutes and 37 seconds stands still in eternity. In my soul. How can a song be so razor sharp for this long?

      Yeah but there's a lot of pain, compromise, despair, etc, essentially a wealth of negative emotion that one can go through before reaching that realization and acting upon it to make it your choice. Way way easier said than done in the end. Life is excruciatingly complex and you are often your own worst enemy, your greatest own biggest impediment

    We can all relate to the haunting power and pain of this. We've all seen that person who simply takes our breath away and for whatever reason...something about our circumstance...something about theirs...timing...they are just out of reach. And it crushes and burns and cuts like a knife in a way that changes us. And we somehow keep breathing. A masterpiece of visceral longing & unrequited love.

For me, it's a testament of the human spirit in the name of courage in the pursuit of the impossible. I love the fact that the band makes a cameo. Bono's vocals and the Edge's guitar are pure magic. Brilliance and Perfection. Enough said.

      Beautifully said. It's the *perfect* musical illustration of unrequited love. Even without the lyrics you would get the sense of what the song is about. The music alone tells a powerful story and you can't help but *feel* it with all your heart. It builds into such an overwhelming frenzy of emotion and then the music dies away into a feeling of yearning and dashed dreams. Anyone who has suffered through unrequited love will understand.

    From Wikipedia:
    Director Meiert Avis shot the promotional video in the town of Ostia, outside Rome on 18 April 1989.[4] Written by Barry Devlin, the video takes an unusual cinematic approach to the song, with U2 band members making only brief cameo appearances. The video tells the story of a dwarf played by Paolo Risi[5] who falls in love with a trapeze artist played by Paola Rinaldi, one of whom apparently dies towards the end. While there is disagreement amongst fans about exactly who has died, The Edge was quoted as saying it is the trapeze artist who dies.[6]
    The video pays homage to Fellini, who was shooting his last movie, La voce della luna, only a few miles away from the U2 set, and also to Tod Browning's 1932 film Freaks.[7]

      Of course, the fact that those scenes showing him mourning near the end are interspersed with some shots of the trapeze artist apparently dreaming adds the extra layer of...maybe she's merely dreaming the whole sequence up, and that the dream is reflective of the "death" of her as a love interest for Risi's character!

      Totally agree, I grew up listening to the song and hearing it on the radio but I never knew there was this equally beautiful haunting video that went to it. The beauty of the internet, you can discover these sorts of things

    Forgot what a masterpiece this song and video are. Edge is quoted as saying the woman died at the end so my reasoning is the main character climbing the ladder and trying to grasp the trapeze is symbolic of his attempt to finally be with the woman he truly loves. He has her for but a few moments before slipping forever through his fingers.
