Lyrics:
Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
We fight all the time
You and I, that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need, I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in meâ
Where are we now?
I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
In my opinion, after my severe tragedy💔 a loss of my husband due to a massive heart attack in 60 seconds, my husband was dead💔 leaving me to take care of my three children and my grandchildren🕊️my siblings 😭 Just brush their hands off. Wipe them clean and left me to deal with it all by myself . I I have now come to realize that we all need someone to lean on, especially during the very hard times 😢 and the ugly things that happen to us. It's not just sometimes it is 😢 always that we all need someone to lend a helping hand during the tragedies in all our lives. Love 💕 from others is the only remedy once you are on your bended knees 😢 asking for help 🕊️🕊️🙏🕊️
I recall the story of when Bono first brought this song to the rest of the band they were concerned about how open he was about such a personal matter, they weren't inclined to do it initially. But a great song is an inevitable thing, no stopping it. I am grateful for the song as it has given me some moments to reflect on in my own troubled relationship with my father before his passing.
I don't care what anyone says, that is one of the greatest voices in rock and roll ever, PERIOD!
The best I would say ;)
> I don't care what anyone says, that is one of the greatest voices in rock and roll
What *do* other people say? Freddie Mercury, Roger Daltrey, David Bowie, some of the greatest singers in rock history have said that Bono is a true singer. He doesn't get enough credit for his songwriting, though. He's got to be one of the Top 5 lyricists in rock.
Les342 absolutely. The edge just rocks with his guitar solo’s. How many bands out there that started when the members were in their early teens and are still going strong and have the same 4 band members. That in itself is amazing. They have so many great songs.
@@derekmok his lyrics are the truth. Im taking the cue from him tho.
Perché non capisci un cazzo..soprattutto a 3:18
My father passed away 2 years ago and this song has taken on an even deeper meaning for me now. I always remember him..😪
This is one of those songs that make you smile, while tears run down your cheek.
smile,are u idiot???
+airan0520 Fuck off
Hell yeah.
+airan0520 why would you say that? It's an opinion
+Juan Enrique yeah...
Very emotional song Imagine losing someone you love it just aint easy to get over it
My dad passed away a couple of weeks ago and this song has taken on an even deeper meaning for me now.
Sorry for your loss.
No one heals through music like U2.
Erra mi idolo
I saw them perform this at the Grammys
just days after my Dad passed in 2005.I understand.
Thoughts to everyone here who lost a father. Mine passed away in september 2021 but oddly enough i didnt even think of this song until now which is march of 2023. Will play this at his graveside tomorrow. ❤ you all
Love.
I'm so glad these guys have kept it going this long. What a gift they have given to humanity.
Bono.. U2.. Mario de chile.. Necesito de un new.. Tammy mi hija.. Y cada de tus temas. Sorry.. Lagrimas.
Yes u are absolutely right. Unlike some other bands or groups they split up! Honestly sometimes it is really frustrating cause we the fans bought their albums and watched their concerts and then they split up.
it is simply indictable how much Bono's voice touches my soul.
Hi dear🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for your love and support that has brought me this far, it has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times. I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you’ve done for me throughout the years.
It’s a season of love😍❤️❤️ for me and so I decided to put a smile on the faces of my fans by going through my RUclips channel and checking out on my fans, so I can get to communicate with my fans better through discussion of depth and humor listening to o and criticism of my career.💞💞🙏💖💕💕❤️
U2... The band who turned out Great song after Great song through the decades.
Through the Decades....
But I'm still haven't found what I'm looking for... This is great, but I still prefer Joshua Tree and older U2.
Brazil to love...
03:18 Goosebumps & chills everywhere!!
Bono can Sing!! He is an legend!!!
Goosebumps? Tears here lol. This song rips my heart out
Bono can sing *sometimes*. He really screws up some of their songs when singing live sometimes because he sings in a way different key and tone.
@@Kriegsbeil5577 You're right too, sometimes he sings in different tone and keys and the result isn't very satisfactory.
@@LucasLima-ov4mq Listen to how bad he butchers the song "Bad" when they do it live these days. Sings the "Wide awake" refrain completely wrong, similar to the way a lounge singer would. Ruins the performance.
It's amazing how Bono can go back to the hospital deepest darkest hour in his life and write about it sometimes twenty years later he did it with October about his mothers death he was only a child for God sake
Wow, I wish they’d played this song more live. Bono’s note at 3:18 is absolutely on point - one of the best live U2 moments! 🤘🏻
Bj j
Vem sussurrando deliciosamente uma explosão de sentimentos a cada escuta 🧠🎶❤️🔥🌵🌵
3:01....that chord change still gives me goosebumps.
This song was written for my father, Frank Sewell. We didn’t get along going up. We fought, a lot! But when he was in the hospital, on his final days,,,,I told him I loved him.
U2 in the greatest band of all time. Musician by musician, pound for pound, nobody was better. Yes the Beatles, yes the Stones, so many others.
But hit for hit, emotion to emotion, nobody did it better than U2
This song ALWAYS helps me feel stronger no matter what kind of situation I am dealing with. Two days ago, a gun man was shooting up the Empire mall where I work. It was scary and we all weren't sure what to do. All the drills and training videos cannot prepare you for a real active shooter situation. It has been hard to go to sleep at night since then but songs like this help. I also LOVE the U2 song Walk On for hard situations or feelings that are anxious.
It's just recently that I am beginning to listen to Bono AKA the group.U2. So for the last 3 days I've been following his interviews, watching his concerts and getting idea of what this man is all about. I am happy to report that he is one of the most recognized faces in this world.🌏 It is true because he is a philanthropist and a man determined to make this world better then it was before he arrived ⚡🌏⚡ I'm happy to report he is doing just that. Besides the One organization that he started to prevent any child from starving to death. What he has done is monumental work with speaking to leaders of many countries, if not all the countries on this globe. To make a connection of love and peace throughout the whole world🌏⚡ Bono doesn't doesn't just talk to talk. He walks the walk. Wherever that might lead him to 👍whether it be the Far East to Russia to Africa. That man has been there and that man has seen and he has conquered. He is my idol. Due to all that he has done and shown all of mankind. His dream is that his humanitary work that we will follow in his footsteps one day as we continue on with him❤ hand in hand to find peace n love in this world 🌏⚡🌏
Uwielbiam. Przyjedźcie w końcu do Polski.
My father has been dead for 17 years and 9 months. This song never fails to send me back to that day.
Let my dad move cross country to Cali. I knew something was off with his voice the last time spoke, something told me to get on a plane and go to him, but I was so selfish I didn’t. Got a call from the city of San Francisco as his next of kin. I’ll never forgive myself for not going. We used to playfully argue who is better, Bruce Springsteen or U2. What I would give to hear his voice one more time
They are the best band I've ever seen live and I've seen a lot of bands live. Bono is the best front man in the world. He just connects with a crowd like no one else. His voice can go into the stratosphere when he feels the urge. The band stays in the pocket of the song, AND I believe they use a click track (LM), which kind of helps explain why they always play so tight. I'm 42 now and ever since high school, they've been there for me.... Passion on a grand scale.
if you think this is smaltz then you dont know what real music is.
their passion and Bono's ability to write lyrics about things that truly matter in life is what makes the the best band today. That's not smaltzy, that's talent.
I don't normally agree with the Grammys, but this song had every right to win 'Song Of the Year'
Ora oji h9
YEAH
100%
Another time they were right was when Daft Punk won Album of the Year for Random Access Memories
Agreed. Especially considering the subject about which he’s singing.
A song most people will be able to relate to father son mother daughter edges guitar solo makes it.
Never leave a arguement too long..we never know just how long we will have each other..dont waste precious time..forgive and love!
😢
A beautiful song, Bono wrote this for his Father 💕

This was filmed at the riverside studios in London in 2004. They played five tracks from the vertigo album to be used on cduk. There was about 200 people in the studios. I was there and it was amazing. Kings of Leon filmed a couple of tracks just before u2. It was before kol hit the big time. Good memories. Some people say that bono was miming....he wasn't. They actually played the tracks until they were happy with the results.
Only a deaf man can pretend Bono's mimiking...
Thanks for your comment patralro
Bono is singing live but how live is the band?? How much is The Edge playing?
Don’t get me wrong they can do it live, but with how much assistance from backing tracks? they keep claiming to be the biggest band in the world…surely the biggest band in the world can they play totally live with no gimmicks? Could they play their show in a pub?
@@tigger1662003 Bono is actually singing and Larry's actually playing the drums but I don't think the amps are on. Sometimes TV appearances require different audio situations. Top of the Pops used to be entirely mimed, it was basically a music video. Old Grey Whistle Test was sort of a response to that phoniness.
U2 is one of the most successful touring bands in Earth's history, so sit down and pull out the wedgie.
Perfect said! You know the words, hurt and the feelings, not all you have to do is walk forward, one step at a time. I know how you feel about having a cheating father and a miserable childhood. Peace be unto you!
Love, Bridgette

His voice is absolutely phenomenal. Truly amazing, the lyrics would make puppies faint.
Hi Parents(RIP). You're still alive in our hearts. We love You. I'll be missing You. Respect. Jul. 2021.

Stunning in tears xx
Beyond the words!
No shit sherlock, but also, yeah
Happy birthday to a rock star From u2 better Known as The edge
from Portugal - It happened on a normal day, I was a child, when my grandfather disappeared, and was found by firefighters two days later,dead and since that day, I could never told him how much I loved him...
My life was never the same without him, but whenever I hear this song I feel him beside me.
A big kiss for you u2
Thanks
10/2/20 MY LOVE FOR U2 BROUGHT ME HERE TODAY!!!
The best Band of the planet
I remember watching the video being filmed on the North Wall docks for this epic tune.
dad you passed when I was 2. I hope you are looking down on me proud somewhat & guiding me in the right direction. Sometimes I dont know if I am making te right decisions or even saying the right things, Sometimes I am so unbelievably lost. I know you are my guiding light on my shoulder. Please dont let m heart be broken again. Please help me make the right path/choices & decisions. I love you & thank you for giving me the greatest opportunity...Life
I don't know the problem with this great band with the lack of views for their songs, they deserve much more than that.
You are the reason why the opera is in me❤❤❤❤❤
I forgot what a beautiful song this is.
you know a band is good when they sound just as good live as they do on the CD
That’s because the music IS the album version while Bono and edge sing live.
@@jbone-0-919 Or maybe the CD is playing while they pretend to be doing a live performance.... lolol.
They don’t make such terrific music & rock bands like U2 anymore!!
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...
To my Dad I love you and thank you......your son.
life is so fucking wierd
all i ever wanted was a hug
a smile
a reasurance even if so small that my farther was indeed proud of me but none ever came I still love my father dearly
God loves you!
❤❤❤❤❤Bono❤❤❤❤❤
I was 17 when mine died in '85. And I still do cry with this song for the same reasons you do. I'm pretty sure Bono in Chicago in 2005 must have left a tear inside when he sang this for his father, too. Hang on... People who were loved that much, never really leave us, trust me.
Very nicely put. ☮️
BONO is SO HEALTHY and LOVED EFFORTLESS.PLEASE PRAY for OUR BROTHER HEALTHY BROTHER. HE had to have Emergency Back surgery.PLEASE PRAY,WE ALL LOVE HEALTHY BONO,T CARE MY STRONG BROTHER.
They seem to have a song that fits for every time in life.
U2.. Number one!!!
This song helped me through a lot of stuff in my life & still does
Me too, calms my soul
i hear ya mate.
Probably my favorite U2 song.
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 our cover of their great Ordinary Love song. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' ruclips.net/video/yiUkR6YUNgU/видео.html
u2 is the price possesion of ireland..they bring harmony to the world thru music...they are the best of the best.
Thankyou U2 💚🇮🇪💚
In hospital I gained comfort from the lyric let me take some of the punches.. Played it over and over in my mind. I thank you

BEAUTIFUL SONG U2
To anyone who has ever lost someone this song says all there is to say. It comforts and hurts in equal measure. So many people need this lament but will never know it's there for them. Thank U2
That song breakes me Always... LOVE My DAD, and U2 couldn't said ir better, LOVE YOU ALL U2 ✨❤️‼️
they were awesome 1980 to 2001.
vertigo had its moments too.
32 years ago my father died...but he is still here with me. And this song lets me think of him. Great Bono.
This song is basically the most important piece of music written in the last 20 years as far as I'm concerned.
Always think of my dad when I hear this. Rip Albert.
Amo U2 ..!!!🌷🌷🌷🌷
U2 is just freaking great. One thing I can thank my brother for....the intro to all kinds of music at a very young age!! U2 was one of my favs! I still have the Joshua Tree vinyl I listened to as a kid!💜
❤ The One and only....♥️🙏😥😥 Bono
This song is from the heart .... musically and lyrically a classic!
Mon groupe favori depuis 1987
How amazing a song could be when it fits in different situations in people's lives.
Personally I think that life is tough, and taking always every punch at you is hard. A helping hand is always welcome in harsh moments. I mean, there's times when you have to go by your own, but if you have the bless, the lucky (or whatever your beliefs) of having someone who cares about you, don't let go.
Duley noted Bono is as real as they get salt of the earth 👍✌️😘
My father passed away, 9 years ago, still haven't got over his passing, wish I could talk to him, tell him how much he means to me and how much I love him , but I can't tell him to his face, I tell him in my mind, first time I heard this song after his passing, I was driving, had to pull over, couldn't see for the tears and wrench of pain inside of me, I saw him an hour before he passed, I didn't say goodbye to him, that hurts so much.
That's a valuable lesson that I have learned.
Man I love this band... A bit sad I noticed them that late. In 2001 I couldn't stop listening to Elevation, after one from my older brothers school class, played counter-strike with some very talented guys, who together in named their CS clan after that song. This song however, is much more personal for Bono/Paul Hewsson. But it just proves, what a great band U2 really is. From more strange songs like "Numb", to personal songs like this and "The First Time", to party-like songs as Elevation and Vertigo, to iconic songs like "Bloody Sunday". It's like they master the whole spectrum of music, plus they are a great liveband.
Wish I could have been to their concert, last time they played where I live. Hope I get a second chance to do that :-)
I love that about U2 the sheer range of the different songs from the different albums but yeah so many amazing songs.
I don’t care what ppl say this singer is the best singer I’ve ever herd EVER!!!
This is such a pretty beautiful song with lots of meaningful words in it to listen to from the 90s 🎵
2004 actually
Sometimes you can’t make it on your on and you need that significant other to lean on… great song 🎶
I miss you dad. Been a long 8 years.
forever U2.
Love U2 really good band 🤘♥️🔥😎
This is insane. Wow.
Best band in the world 🌎 I dont care what anybody says
And have been been for the past 37 years.
Absolutely!
And Bloc Party, Guns and Roses
Indeed!!!
Love U2 best band on this planet
Bono is Buenos like whole group, amazing is better word
Essa música é linda. Bono é um poeta.
FELIZ CUMPLE¡ BENDECIDA VIDA bONO¡ GRACIASSSSSSSS
This is one of the most beautiful songs of this World. It's amazing, brilliant, perfect.
Merci Bono, les musiciens , la lumières, le son
It breaks me apart every single time.
Thank you so much I ve ever heard the city of blinding lights and seen you... He made it clear.
Playing this in 2020 still sounds so good. Even more special now as my brother has just passed away 2 weeks ago. R. I. P. Jimmy xx
❤️
Lost my father on the 3/02/2024
He was very Stubborn we came to peace while watching him moving on he lost all mobility only could turn his head when saying goodbye there was a tear in his
Eye ❤️
Same here. As my dad was passing he had tears in his eyes, so did I. My heart cracked. 💔
Sad :'( I'm always cry listening this song
Don't cry be happy
Hes the reason!
The best song ever.
I adore U2 bono you are the man!!
26th of October O2 arena. Cant wait.
This is music!
Band numero 1!
my favorite rock band!
My boy is now 12, just told him, one day, don't give me any gift, anything. Except, if his feeling would be good to me, to listen this song together he and I, and listen, and listen and listen again.
The love a father can give to his sons and daughters, would never get thrown away for shyness or insecurity. And together we need to keep this love alive all the time! Thanks Bono, i grow up with you, feeling like you being part of my life.
"Youre the reason why the opera is in me" ..I miss you ma'..🌹💔🌹💔🌹💔🌹💔
