    For me, this guitar performance ranks as one of the Edge's best. He's a genius.

    I wasn't a huge fan of No Line on the Horizon when it first came out, but over the years that album has aged fairly well. This song and Unknown Caller seriously rock and have provided the soundtrack to some seriously wonderful moments in my life.

    Never got the negative responses to No Line on the Horizon. This song is one of at least five or six on it that are really among the band's very, very best. The passion, the textures, the energy all are as rich as any they have produced. And it certainly didn't sound the same as what came before -- rather a completion of and finale to all that. The band's even more mature work since has been fascinating and a whole new phase.
    Breathe stands out to me as awesomely as anything the band has done.

    I'd kill to be able to see the band in a venue this size. This song is awesome too - the last chorus after the guitar solo is just magic - "Sing your heart out" is just such a joyous line - it's what I do every time I've seen them.
    Best song on NLOTH for me.

    They still are a Band of Hope, Reflection and Question's of our Human Spirit. I am not the 'Fan' I used to be like in the 80's but God Bless them they still sound Good.But you know they and their fans are 'Getting Old' when Larry is starting to look a lot more weathered these days,but screw it! I'm glad I was a Fan, and still am.

    This is my favorite song on the new album. Breathe
    It's so good that U2 is still making great music.
    "These Days are Better than That"
    and yes it's true "Every artist is a cannibal and every poet is a thief, we steal for inspiration and sing about our grief..."
    U2 Please don't ever quit making albums, you need to go out like Johnny Cash (Singing to the end, I think his last album was his best album) So I wanna live long enough to hear your last album...30 more years to U2?

    @billsnation83 15 років тому +2

    People are commenting on the fact that U2 isn't getting much airtime in the US. Well that is because the public is calling for the shitty music of Miley Cyrus, the jonas Brothers, lady gaga, brittany spears etc. U2 is still making incredible music. If the United States public would wake up they would find incredible things in U2 TODAY. "Breathe" is an example of this. Take a listen to "Moment of Surrender". Phenomenal.

    The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. 2 And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.” Ezequiel 37

    Great
    ! The more I listen to it, the more interesting it seems to me.
    ...
    The roar that lies on the other side of silence
    The forest fire that is fear so deny it
    Walk out into the street
    Sing your heart out
    The people we meet
    Will not be drowned out
    There's nothing you have that I need
    I can breathe
    Breathe now
    Yeah, yeah
    We are people borne of sound
    The songs are in our eyes
    Gonna wear them like a crown
    Walk out, into the sunburst street
    Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
    I've found grace inside a sound
    I found grace, it's all that I found
    And I can breathe
    Breathe now
    16th... I'm looking forward to it ❄😍...

    I can understand your opinion. Yes they where an incredible band when I was growing up. Not many bands can get along together for so many yrs. In just about any high stress prof career you eventually get tired out. You can't go decades pumping out high energy acts & not suffer. If they where prof sports players, imagine trying 2 play in the major leagues for 30 yrs? Or artists like actresses, models any high profile job w/ constant media attention, your every move in life, judged by the public.

I think they're still really good but I wish they would write more varied sounding songs.... in one way it's good to hear a band where you can expect a certain sound out of them but on the other hand my favorite bands are the ones who constantly modified their sound and pushed themselves compositionally and stylistically e.g. The Beatles, Radiohead, The Police, Pink Floyd, Yes, Soundgarden...
