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
You're privileged period if you spent your childhood on the French Riviera (Cannes) 😉 Good for you. Sounds like it was enhanced with loving relationships all around.
I watched them in Philly and I have no reason why I felt so emotional when they sang this song. I took a live video of the moment and it’s amazing how music touches you. ❤️❤️
Nah i think for the sake of defining their 2000s selections...beautiful day set the rest in motion but none did what that one did and where it wound up being used for promos
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).
This is my favourite U2 song, and arguably it's also their best (rivalled only by The Unforgettable Fire, I think). Not many bands are capable of releasing such a great song this far advanced in their musical careers.
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.
This was my soundtrack as a fresh faced, 18 year old, country bumpkin living in London for the first time. It had just come out and it gave me strength being away from home for the first time.
Una delle canzoni più spettacolari degli U2, li seguo ormai da anni e ho ascoltato ogni loro canzone e a mio parere sono una più bella dell' altra, davvero.
This song takes me away. I cried the first time I heard this, which is strange since it's so upbeat. The words make me think of someone I wish was still in my life. The beauty of it is just unreal though!!!
This song I would dedicate to my husband for our sweet long memories of our 20 years of marriage, listened to this song when I was unknowingly missing him so badly..he was working and I was studying..I love you my soulmate 🌹
M I'm still listening mate...U2 have evolved into an amazing band....all the time I have breath in my body...I will never tire of listening...God bless all & your families.
apesar de no ser un gran fan de U2 (de hecho soy de Madonna), uno debe saber reconocer la verdadera música, ésta canción representa para mí la captura y la escencia de éste disco de U2. Gran banda, siempre estaran en el recuerdo!!
este tema es genial, me recuerda a epocas con amigos noches bailes inolvidables.... esas epocas en la que nada me preocupada sin duda este tema representa la mejor epoca de mi vida.... I
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
I was given this album when I was 7. Immediately started listening to it and fell in love with this song. Never realised that 4 four years later it would be used by the man who became the 44th President of the United States. A sense of foreshadowing :)
Really nice song !! I love it 3 Make my cry because with the intro i imagine a whole life with my girlfriend and also because this song i listened with my grandmother :')
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.
Miranda & Andrea... they look soooooooo beautiful in France
Elizabeth G.M. Mdssss simmmmm amoooo
Brasil
Yas!!!!!!
Lembrei também de o Diabo veste Padra
I knew this song from that movie 😗☝🏻
The world needs more songs like this.
I spent my whole childhood listening U2. This song means a lot to me! It's epic!
So you didn't spend anything... You gained better taste in music
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. 😍
I wanna wish a Happy early 61st Birthday to U2’s Drummer Larry Mullen Jr
U2 opened with this on the tour for this album. It was the best opening to any concert I have ever been to over many years.
one of the best intros in a song ever!

your words are so empathic.. 🖤
Que hermoso recuerdo...que bueno que la música pueda transportarte a tan maravillosos momentos...
Cari ricordi, peccato che portino sempre un po’ di malinconia.
This sounds like the beginning of a great novel
Such an underrated song.
I watched them in Philly and I have no reason why I felt so emotional when they sang this song. I took a live video of the moment and it’s amazing how music touches you. ❤️❤️
Some songs seem to give you wings.
🛩🕊❤
No need for red bull
David Mole why not both
@@elfonero1492 or does feel like you're flying doesn't it
So *that's* why Bono sings "I'm getting ready to leave the ground" before the choruses.
The best U2's song of the 2000's by far.
Walk On wants to talk
@Brandon Mooremany are saying there's a dark side Kobe had in his life very Hollywood occult roots ???
@Brandon Moore well, God have mercy on the innocent people caught up in such a tragedy !
Nah i think for the sake of defining their 2000s selections...beautiful day set the rest in motion but none did what that one did and where it wound up being used for promos
Magnificent is the best. This is a close second
Saw them perform this song live a few nights ago. Needless to say, it gave me chills. Love the Edge's guitar tone.
"What happened to the beauty I have inside of me?" That line really hits me hard.
Me too!!!
The line "Oh you look so beautiful tonight" is about Bono looking at all the New Yorkers down below. That is pure magic 😄😭😄😭

I wanna wish a Happy early 62nd Birthday to U2’s Lead Guitar David Howell Evans The Edge
The melody is so... full of feeling!! I love that guitar
One of the best songs ever
Eu aqui de novo, 0:50 que sensação!!
Um dos melhores momentos da história da música!
The best song from that album by far. It's a bit like their older stuff and has a unique sound along with good lyrics. Plus the Edge killing it.
Other of my favorites songs of this band awesome U2. 🙏🏻
this song is really wonderful....... no other words to describe it
Claudio Thompson 👍⭐️🌹❤️☘️🥂✨🙏
Punk's Wala akong ma say
I love this song a lot. I used to listen this song a lot back in 2006. It brought me lots of memories and tears.
They used this song to help promote the FIFA world cup in '06
My 2nd favourite song of this century. Awesome job U2! If other songs of 2000's were like this, I would blow up of listening to U2.
One of the best bands ever !
U2 para sempre !!!!
This is my favourite U2 song, and arguably it's also their best (rivalled only by The Unforgettable Fire, I think). Not many bands are capable of releasing such a great song this far advanced in their musical careers.

M D I wish I was grown up during the 80s omg. Was born in September of ‘89. I mean the 90s were cool too! But I love the 80s
Autumn Ball, I just wish I didn’t grow up in the 2000s, literally any other generation would be better
Time is time! Gotta enjoy every bit of it!
But... you still look so beautiful tonight, baby!
Time is outta our grasp doesn't it?
(I was like between 8 or 10 yrs
I understand just a little about how you feeling right now)
i love this band,great song.
The Edge's genius.
One of my favorite U2 songs
OMG, IT REMINDS ME OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES "The Devil Wears Prada" they play that song, when Miranda and Andy arrived to Paris. Lovely .....
Great song, I love U2 been a fan for years.
My favorite U2 song. This is the one that really got me turned on to U2 ... love it even these many years later
The Devil Wears Prada 🤩
This was my soundtrack as a fresh faced, 18 year old, country bumpkin living in London for the first time. It had just come out and it gave me strength being away from home for the first time.
The best band in the world 🛩🏙🕊♥️👂💦
Love U2, this is their best song in my opinion
one of the most beautiful songs
Una delle canzoni più spettacolari degli U2, li seguo ormai da anni e ho ascoltato ogni loro canzone e a mio parere sono una più bella dell' altra, davvero.
When I visited NYC for the first time I went to time square when it was dark and I heard this playing 😍😀
When I go to Paris, you better believe I’m playing this song lol.
I will do the same
This song takes me away. I cried the first time I heard this, which is strange since it's so upbeat. The words make me think of someone I wish was still in my life. The beauty of it is just unreal though!!!
I will always remember the U2 concert in Toronto back in july 2011....BEST concert I ever went to! These guys are awesome live!!!!!
This song reminds me of the lovely times my husband and I shared in the early days of our courtship. Infact it always reminds me of my husband.
Excelente banda ótima música perfeita saudades desse tempo que não volta mais
U2 foi no show do Morumbi simplesmente foi inesquecível sensacional
Such an amazing band,they need to go on tour again! ASAP!!!!!
The studio version is good but the live version is so much better. The best opening song for a concert ever
Igor Alvaro I think it works best for a closing song!
Zoo station is their best opening song
@@oilersrock9350 Where the Streets Have No Name is incredible, as well
This song I would dedicate to my husband for our sweet long memories of our 20 years of marriage, listened to this song when I was unknowingly missing him so badly..he was working and I was studying..I love you my soulmate 🌹
One of the Best songs ever :)
Beaucoup de plaisir, et d'énergie avec cette chanson, petite ressemblance avec Colplay
perfect song and music to think about life... one of the best songs ever!
M
I'm still listening mate...U2 have evolved into an amazing band....all the time I have breath in my body...I will never tire of listening...God bless all & your families.

This song make me cry and fly...
Para mi gusto el mejor disco que ha sacado la gran banda U2.
apesar de no ser un gran fan de U2 (de hecho soy de Madonna), uno debe saber reconocer la verdadera música, ésta canción representa para mí la captura y la escencia de éste disco de U2.
Gran banda, siempre estaran en el recuerdo!!
What I love most about this song is the ambiguity of the lyrics so that every listener can relate to it in some way and imagine what they want.
este tema es genial, me recuerda a epocas con amigos noches bailes inolvidables.... esas epocas en la que nada me preocupada sin duda este tema representa la mejor epoca de mi vida.... I
Hay canciones y lugares que nos traen lindos recuerdos
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
Viva U2, a melhor banda do planeta!!❤
Nem tanto k kkk kkk kkk kkk kkk kkk kkk a banda é Boa com certeza 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I wanna wish a Happy 61st Birthday 🎂 to U2'S Lead Guitar David Howell Evans The Edge Tomorrow!In The City Of Blinding Lights Edge
