#U2 #Desire #Remastered
Lyrics:
Lover, I'm off the streets
I'm gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire.
She's the candle burnin' in my room
Yeah, I'm like the needle
The needle and spoon
Over the counter, with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody's got one
I'm in a fever, when I'm beside her
Desire
Desire.
And the fever, gettin' higher
Desire
Desire.
(Burning, burning).
She's the dollars
She's my protection
Yeah, she's the promise
In the year of election.
Sister I can't let you go
Like a preacher stealin' hearts at a travellin' show
For love or money, money, money... ?
And the fever, gettin' higher.
Desire.
1988, filmed in Los Angeles. Great year for Dodgers and Lakers, U2 with great music, i was a teen, times were awesome back then
Igual que yo, saludos desde España
Si recuerdo a Magic jhonson el máster indiscutido.
Acá de Argentina
But Dokken is still UNDERRATED 😢
Bono could sing those country blues. Man this song was iconic the moment it was realeased . Rattle and Hum was a great album in my opinion. Album Rocks. U2 can rock anything.
A masterpiece for the ages.
Bono you old sod.. Happy 62nd Birthday Paul David Hewson 05/10/62.. Rotunda Hospital, Dublin. First time I heard U2 was Gloria in "81 on PBS music video hour. No cable where i lived back then.. St. Paddy's day concert was the best. Red Rockers opened.
His voice just belts it out in this song. The chemistry in this band is phenomenal! Best in the world hands down!
After INXS 😉
U2 is a religion of its own and a science
😂pfffft
Can u prove that outside of myopic vision?
¡Jajaja! Me encanta U2, MUCHÍSIMO, pero decir que es la mejor SIN LUGAR A DUDAS 🤣🤣🤣Ahora bien, PARA MÍ, esta banda es imprescindible entre mi selección de bandas favoritas de siempre con temas que son INCREÍBLES.
Great poetry, great ENERGY. Rock n roll and the universal human condition.
🙏
I was 10 when this came out and it gives me the same feeling now as I had then...I remember where I was, my friends, my days, my foes, my problems, my challenges, and my growth....the music really elevated in '87 going into '88.
"Rattle and Hum" is very underrated. Just to start, "Desire" and "Angel of Harlem" are among U2's greatest songs, in my opinion. The other studio tracks are also strong. "All I Want is You", for instance, is beautiful. I also really like "Van Diemen's Land". And the live part is good too. The covers were well chosen and came out great. U2 was at its peak. Ambitious? Yes. But the result is a fine companion piece to "The Joshua Tree". I think the album aged very well.
I have the CD "Rattle And Hum" and the last new one they came out with "Songs of Experience". "Desire" is my favorite song. It got me hooked on them. I love their songs. There's nothing nasty in them.
BB King duet love Comes to town! There s one other great one on there as well too late tonight to rember the name of it .... ' can't believe an uzi went off in my hand " .... Da da da something like that
I have it on video would you believe. Epic journey across the USA. This track has massive punch.
great album
"Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody got one"
best u2 song. harmonica takes you out
Bo Diddley meets Ireland. Always loved this song. Such a great band
The greatest gift is DESIRE.
very catchy tune, the guitar strumming, guitar solo, the bass pattern, the full solid drum sound and of cause Bono powerful voice makes this song very addictive to listen to...
deffinatly one of the most soul filled songs of all time, u2 is amazing!
I love U2 and I don't like people who understimate this amazing band!
The greatest gift is DESIRE.
I love U2 and I don't like people who understimate this amazing band!
This song is great and U2 used to be an amazing band but from "Zoropa" they mostly released weak or crap albums.
TheRunner75 that's just your opinion, IMO "Pop" and "No line on the Horizon" are ones of their best albums...
Desire Is THE SONG who told's me : HO YES!!!! OK!!!!! Who is this Song Writter????Witch Group it is????U2??I don't know them.....(I was 10year's old in 1988......)But,In 1988, It was So Perfect.........U2 was on The bebinning........Like ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anthony No Line On The Horizon is probably The Best U2 Album I ever Heard.....Fantastic's Album.....
One Day,In A Interwiew,I saw Bono explaining that THE BEST OF U2 DOESN'T STILL EXIST....It was In 2002(Superstar man.....).I Hope Bono was RIGHT!!!!.....
In life there a very few songs and music that change you or move you that don't understand but you love it from the first time until the end of time!! This is it "DESIRE" I will never understand why?? Also thanks to U2 for giving the world this song!!
Hendrix bridged the gap between rock and blues. U2 never gets credit for what they did for music. They bridged the gap between rock, blues, pop, classical, opera, gospel, and middle eastern. This band had the talent of bringing out simplicity of virtually anything, and making it sound great!
Facts
danielsonnv Amen to that!
When did they do middle eastern?
@@elijahshuler9985 Mysterious ways?,,.
@@theprinceoftides6836 I actually hear it now.
Great memories! God, did I fancy Bono in that leather waist coat!!! Wonderful music!
One of my top 5 favorite U2 songs. And it's best if you crank up the volume on this one!
Yes, Wire and Two Hearts Beat As One are roll down the windows and crank up the volume songs for me
oh yeah. desire, new years day, unforgettable fire, and i will follow are my favorites!
War is one of my all time faves also.
There are two kinds of people in this world: the ones who love U2 and the ones who are wrong.
xD
I guess I'm wrong. They always struck me as bombastic and egotistical, never as good as their press said they were.
Yes My dad loves U2 80S Dads rule
U2 is a All Time Classic
U2 is BOSS Hands Down!!!...Bono's Voice!!!...Edge's Guitar...And their lyrics always say so much!!!...And their Concerts Really Rock!!!...I Absolutely Luuuuv U2!!!❤💕❤

Amazing u2! The best Voice, Melody e music! Seus hits arregaçam o planeta!
The Edge... Happy 60th Birthday David Howell Evans 8 August 1961 Born in Essex, England. He is actually Welsh and the driving force behind U2.. Many, many more David Howell.. Cheers Mate..

There r not enough days to cancel this energy, youngsters r going to be put in boot camp, my heartfelt thanks for this constant inspiration in face of apathy as I age
The greatest gift is DESIRE.
Bono sang the crap out of this song! I love it
Bono will be playing Clay Calloway in the movie Sing 2 December 22nd in movie theaters
U2 definitely had a vision for there videos and the people in it , what a time , this music will never be duplicated it will be played loud for another 30 -40 years . Cheers 🇨🇦
There is only one way to listen to this song. FULL BLAST.. Love U2
U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Just one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances. I would love your input on the first video of my first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : ua-cam.com/video/YJqmsXd8QH4/v-deo.html&t
never in the hhistory fo the world will there ever be another album like this
Hands down one of my favorite songs. U2 are the definition of rockstars.
.. it's all about the rhythm - everything is ... Bo diddley's beat goes on and on - like it's forever ...
Several years after first hearing this song as a 90s teenager I enjoy listening to this memorable Desire song by U2, the way that the music narrator longs for the muse of this song is very spellbinding.
an old classic from this phenomenal band.
Bono the cowboy...and over 30 years later they are still rocking it
Every album, every song absolutely awesome. They are legends. I remember the first time I saw them on MTV, I was in awe. I immediately knew they were going to be my fave band ever.
I never get sick of this 1980s rock track! No other cut from U2 strikes me as hard as "Desire" does! This is one that I enjoy thoroughly performing during karaoke rounds!
Bono says it wasn't long after this song that he and his wife had their first baby. "So it worked," he said. Something like that, in an interview.
❤τγγγ
What a great song!
Sunset Plaza, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, saturday night...
Man I feel like I wanna live it all again... all my youth desires and dreams are back!! U2 rocks my life.
THIS SONG WENT TO NUMBER 3 ON THE BILLBOARD HOT-100 CHART IN 1988.
This song is timeless. My favorite U2 song!
(Video filmed in LA)
One of a few worldwide famous bands that would do free concerts on short notice… RESPECT⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
proper music by a proper band.seen them 5 times live.all totally outstanding.whatever people think of u2 they put on 1 hell of a show.ive seen loads of bands live but nobody comes close to u2.
The good old days.When U2,was, and still the biggest band in the universe.
If you can't rock like U2 then why bother!!!!! Jam on guys!!
There is only one ☝️ personality that can sing this song he is a truly amazing singer 😊
Hi who’s here in 2025 ? ❤
Intemproraly sound
Op
❤
Me
I’m listening to U2 Desire late January 2025
My favorite song by U2! I ALWAYS crank up the volume everytime I hear it.
U2 classic full of nice memories...been lucky born these times as child- teenager enjoy so many good music &groups like them.....sorry followin generations
What a tune,even all these years later.absolute class 👌👏
TELA CLASS
One of my favorite U2 songs of all time!
Quite possibly the greatest accomplishment of U2 ... what a song
Ahhh yes. When U2 and I were young and beautiful!
Jimmy Fallon may have done more for U2 to spark interest in today's youth than that messed up "free" album
This hit from U2 was the 390th #1 song of the Rock Era in the United Kingdom.
Like a preacher stealing hearts at a traveling show. For the love of money money money money ... DESIRE! What powerful visual words!
A candle in my room, I am the keeper, desire.
The world is a better place with U2
you want a hit you want Bono on it
The best U2 song.
U2 unequivocally the greatest band to ever bless this earth.
Don't know why Rattle and Hum got a bad rap. It's a great album.
one the 1980's best albums
Totally agree
I don’t know why it got a bad rap either. I agree it’s a great album.
It did? It is difficult to follow up the success of Joshua Tree.
Critics are corrupt and useless...professional ones that is. Always have been and always will be. Lollollollollol
There are several songs that capture the soul of L.A. and this is one of them.
Fantastic tune, when proper musicians actually existed and manufactured pop didnt Absolute legends, best band on the planet 🌍👌🏻
Love this music video! 🙌🔥Something happened in the 80s when so many goofy songs and music videos emerged. And then this song reminds you what classic rock n roll is all about musically and the feeling it brings. No synthesizers, just rock. The music video is well-directed, upbeat, and not bogged down with the silliness that plagued many other songs from the decade.
I love this band 14 albums later and they still rock.
And so here we are - 30 years exactly after Rattle and Hum was released. Yep, my 16 year old self wandered up to Woolies and got myself the double vinyl version. Still got it to this very day :)
I am not a U2 fan but this song is amazing.
Do not lose faith, children. This music will come back in time. Time is hills and valleys, ups and downs. What comes around goes around. Keep the faith...the poo that is passing for most music now will fade away one day and real artists writing lyrics that make you cry and guitar riffs that bring you to your knees, drummers that make your heart beat along with them, and singers that take you out into the universe will come back.
from the Joshua Tree album,one of the most successful Grammy winners
At the height of their powers, imo. Doesn't get much better than this.
i loved u2 growing up. listening to their music sets me free again. 🌹🌹🌹
U2 made the 80's a great decade for rock n roll.
The greatest gift is DESIRE.
Is it possible to not like this?

A quote by bono back whe Desire reached Nr 1,""BONO SAID IF THIS SONG (DESIRE) HAD OF BEEN. WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY AN UP AND COMING BAND, IT WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT TO NUMBER ONE???....
That final harmonica
honestly its great and I wish it popped into more people’s heads when they thought of U2
Let me describe the greatest moment of my life. Before Christmas, I saw Imelda May at the 02 in Dublin. At one point she says: "Right, I'm gonna give this one a go!" Her band starts playing "Desire" and FUCKING BONO runs out onto the stage! Nobody saw it coming! My heart skips a beat and the roof comes off the place. The sweetest part is that I was right up the front, so I was 10 feet from Bono!
I like that story!
I was saved by Jesus Christ
what a sad peak
Kevin Carney Was that really the greatest moment of your life? It sounds so incredibly sad that there weren't better things to tell from your own life a that point. I hope you did better things in the last years yourself so you can laugh now at the importance you gave to that anecdote.
@@carlotapuig - EXACTLY - what a "shallow" life... boner for bono
Larry and Adam are stoned...Bono and Edge are all business and worries...you can sense it on the live footage.... no matter what ...U2 rule this period here man...they made it together as kids...love em.
Sounds so good after 25 years!
One of my favorite songs from U2! Dig that Bo Diddley beat Larry Mullen Jr. is playing on the drums!
Aloha from Hawaii🤙🏽
U2, is the best thing that Ireland has ever seen, that will ever see. As far as a rockin song, this one belts it out the best. This is the kind of song, that you crank up as loud as you can make sure it’s tuned And just perfect, and then rip the knob off. Most definitely, the best rocking song of all time. One of the best bands in the world. Thanks guys for rocking us since 1976. Roadhouse, Jimmy Sayre😊
Bono and The Edge trying to out hat each other here.
The greatest gift is DESIRE.
The best U2 song.
"I" Used to be a drug Addict~!~ I'm 20 Years CLEAN~!!!!!!!!!!!
I was in love with Bono in high school. The first time I saw this video and him saying "Yeah" at the beginning with That Look was a.little too much for my innocent teenage heart. Still gives me the flutters. Song ain't too bad, either.
Erin Wallace I fell in love with U2 with this song, I was a girl. Never guess they would come to Colombia. A dream came true
Me 2
There never has been and never will be a band of this caliber. I love U2
"Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody got one"
Bono sang the crap out of this song! I love it
best u2 song. harmonica takes you out
This song and this group did a masterful job with their music. This song is never old its Like yesterday
U2 could do no wrong in those days, they were such a great band that even a subpar album by their standard was still better than most. It's cool to hate U2 now...but man were they a great band back then. That's how I choose to remember them.
U2....is a great band was a great band and will always be a great band. I don't know why you would say it's cool to hate them that's kind of a unkind thing to say in the early days they made meaningfully beautiful music these days they still make meaningfully beautiful music I'm pretty damn sure they will always make the greatest freaking music that they can create without limits there are no limits for U2.... They are forever blessed but Mike G still wants to bite their asses because he's probably a jerk he says jerk is oil things and thinks he can get away with it well not really I just rebutted his butthead attitude... So there U2 will always be forever blessed will always make great music and they're really great guys they probably want to forgive you Mike G for being a jerk it's not your fault you were born that way
i dont know if i oould ever say thank you enough for how much your music has shaped me. desire = fire
For some reason I resonate with this song SOOO much. It’s as if I’ve connected with this song in my past life. SOO NOSTALGIC AND ENERGETIC 👌🏼
the best group ever u2 simply class me mum god bless was born in cork in Ireland she got me in 2 u2 fanks mum god bless Andy peover xxxxx
I remember as a kid when RAH was in theaters, I wanted to see it due to the hype of U2 but I wasn't too big a fan, years later I became a huge fan, still am, I really want to see them in concert
She's a candle burning in my room....

U2 is my favorite band. They're music is great and Adam Clayton is my favorite member.
William York MY favourite band, too, and I am twelve! Adam and Bono are my favourites. The Edge and Larry are close seconds, though. :)
I agree that u2 are great but *their
I've always liked Larry Mullen Jr best but it's never been a contest, the whole is far more than the sum of its parts.
Wow!! Desire in HD is amazing. Is that all Folks!!
She's a candle burning in my room....
How is it possible that this song does not have 10M views?
Is it possible to not like this?
Bono the cowboy...and over 30 years later they are still rocking it
One of only a few songs in U2’s catalog that the album version is better than there live performances.
I think the best song of them....how they put these things in this song is amazing
Bono is a badass!
Also, so cool to see LA back in the 80’s. Still looks the same.
La mejor agrupacion del planeta, cada disco que tiene crea siempre mas de un exito que le gusta a muchas personas
