      Me too it has so much meaning to me and i reflect on this song to do with my father who totally admired u2 when he was alive. We have favourites but love all because his voice is mesmorising. Plus he is damn sexy hee. 😍

    This song represents most strongly music's power to attach itself to a certain moment for me. As soon as it begins, I'm transported back to my childhood, sat driving in the back of a hire car on the streets of cannes on a wonderful evening as the sun sets alongside the endless beach. My brother and sister are sat sleeping either side of me, and my parents are in the front, their smiles beaming back at me. I feel at home, I am privileged to have such memories, and owe them to this glorious song

    • @johnconway9882
      @johnconway9882 3 года назад +4

      So true. And you cannot FULLY understand the sentiments of this song until you've reached a certain age or level of maturity. The bliss of youth and the novelty of life has a way of vanishing to the realities of life and time. Bruce Springsteen once wrote (and still sings) "...now I'm ready to grow young again..." (No Surrender).

    Listening to this song on Jan 1, 2020. I can’t believe the 2000s will be 20 this decade. I remember the 2000s like they were yesterday and a time were 20 years ago was the 80s. Throughout the 2010s, I had a hard enough time grasping the fact that the 90s was 20 years ago, let alone the 2000s.

    The more you see, the less you know
    The less you find out as you go
    I knew much more then
    Than I do now
    Neon-heart, day-glow eyes
    A city lit by fireflies
    They're advertising in the skies
    For people like us
    And I miss you when you're not around
    I'm getting ready to leave the ground
    Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
    In the city of blinding lights
    Don't look before you laugh
    Look ugly in a photograph
    Flash bulbs, purple irises
    The camera can't see
    I've seen you walk unafraid
    I've seen you in the clothes you made
    Can you see the beauty inside of me?
    What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
    And I miss you when you're not around
    I'm getting ready to leave the ground
    Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
    In the city of blinding lights
    Time, time, time, time, time
    Won't leave me as I am
    But time won't take the boy out of this man
    Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
    Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
    Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
    In the city of blinding lights
    The more you know, the less you feel
    Some pray for, others steal
    Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel
    Luckily

    Great song!!!!!!! I remember on January 20th 2009, hearing Elliot in the morning on DC101, when they played this song before their intro and they went on the air. As well as President Obama, coming out to this song at the DNC this past summer. I will always think Obama when hearing this song. Thank you for 8 great years President Obama.

    This was my favorite part of the concert when I saw them live for the 360 tour.
