    Jay & Amber.... the most intriguing line in this song is "we GET to carry each other", which is infinitely more meaningful and heartfelt than "we GOT to carry each other" - "get" is privilege and "got" is nothing more than a task. honestly, you both represent and reflect what this song is truly about.

      No, that's the most cliché line in any song. It's a good message, but not intriguing.
      THE MOST INTRIGUING LYRICS AND VERSE in the song is:
      "LOVE is a temple
      LOVE the higher law (_repeat 2x_)..."
      There is no set of lyrics that perfectly suits the melody & Bono's stretched out notes & vocals as well as that unique verse alone.

    This is, primarily, a breakup song. In fact, this was my divorce song back in 2011. After 23 years, we realized that we "ran a good company" together, but we were not the same. "Did I ask too much? More than a lot? Well you gave me nothin', now that's all I've got". "You say love is a temple... love the higher law. You asked me to enter, and then you made me crawl, and I can't be holding on to what you got... When all you got is hurt". What a song. What a song.

      I found this quote and it is about splitting up. “The song is a bit twisted,” Bono explained in Neil McCormick’s U2 By U2, “which is why I could never figure out why people want it at their weddings. I have certainly met a hundred people who’ve had it at their weddings. I tell them, ‘Are you mad? It’s about splitting up!’” I never really listened to the lyrics just enjoyed the vibe.

      You're all wrong. The studio recording that ended up on Mary's album was horrible. However, the original live performance ft. Mary as a guest- the one that led to their official collaboration- was phenomenal. It was an occasional performance by the two done specially for the live Hurricane Katrina Relief telethon. It was truly like going to a gospel church and getting a religious experience. The entire gospel choir was made up of just one woman: Mary J. Blige. UA-cam search it. (It's 4min 43seconds)
      U2's live version at Slane Castle is an incredibly close second, but nothing beats the original version on Achtung Baby!.

    So…. U2
    Great band. Great! Great, band.
    Many years ago, we had tickets to see them in Houston. It’s a 3 hour drive. Looooong story short- we were 2 hours in and realized that we didn’t have the tickets. Yikes!
    Many phone calls, a rendezvous in Victoria (Texas), many thanks and Houston traffic- we get to the hotel, shower, dress, go! We get to the stadium, park, show tix, run up the ramp, grab a drink, find our section, and the lights go out. Whoop!!! We made it!!!!!
    Such an iconic band! You guys picked a choice song! Much love!

    So glad you finally got back to U2! Three songs in, and SO MANY more to go. I think you'd love "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", "Mysterious Ways", or maybe even their duet with the legendary B.B. King, "When Love Comes To Town". Also... any chance you can get back to some INXS? You need to hear "Need You Tonight", "Suicide Blonde", and "The One Thing". Another suggestion - you've done "One" by Metallica, and now "One" by U2.... can you do "One" by the Bee Gees? :)

    U2 donated the proceeds from the single version of One to AIDS research. They recorded the song in Berlin and part of the inspiration was the unification of Germany, although the breakup of Edge's first marriage was also said to be an influence. It was not about Bono's own marriage; he and Ali Stewart celebrated their 40th anniversary this year.

    “One” is one of my top 5 U2 songs. The music beat is great but the lyrics are brilliant-“Did you come here for forgiveness? Did you come to raise the dead? Did you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head? Did I ask too much? More than a lot? You gave me nothing now it’s all I got.” Amazing lyrics. Love this song and love this band. I got to see them twice in concert and it was different than just seeing a fantastic live band performance. Seeing U2 back in their heyday was an “EXPERIENCE”! (My younger sister was such a huge fan that she saw them concert 16 times!)

I bunch of kids from my high rented a school bus to drive us and bring us home (more than half of us didn't have our licenses yet!). What an experience...first real concert, and on my own with friends from school! What a night, listening the crowd singing together after the encores ended. The echoes of thousands of voices, still gives me shivers of emotion. One of my favourite and heartbreaking sings by U2 is from Rattle and Hum; "All I want is You". Beautiful and heart rending at the same time, especially the music video.

      For what it's worth: I don't blame you Janet, but if you haven't seen them in the last decade I'd like to warn you that they aren't what they used to be. I've seen them live several times over the years and I'd rather not anymore after the last concert I went to. Everything is off. Idk. Ever since that bike crash in NYC Bono hasn't been the same and the band altogether has lost their energy and spirit. They're still talented, but Bono's voice has dropped off significant and I think they're increasingly using backing tracks for both the vocals and instrumentals. Their stage performances are more gimmicky, and their newer music has taken a dive. Also, they've seemed to have betrayed all they stood for over the years and on stage they tell you their music is about things it was never about before. Then there are breaks in the performance when it gets to be about corporate sponsored charities, and they solicit participation from the audience on the spot. It's hollow and I felt duped for attending the concert. Just my two cents. If you do go, I wish you all the best. Visiting Ireland, whether Dublin or anywhere else, I think you'll have a great time. I highly recommend going to the pubs with live music, especially traditional Irish music. Also, if you're anywhere near the bridges at night in Dublin, keep your eye out for performances on the bridges or on either side of the river. Often there will be dance performances.

Back in the 90s, the members of the band were going through some rough waters and they were contemplating breaking up. Bono sat down in the recording studio and sang this song. It re-energized them, and the rest is history. For more great U2, check out "Mysterious Ways" and "Angel of Harlem." Also "The Sweetest Thing" -- be sure to watch the official video! But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their songs. They're an amazing band.
