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

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.
My father has been dead for 17 years and 9 months. This song never fails to send me back to that day.
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! 🤘🏻

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.
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...
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...
u2 is the price possesion of ireland..they bring harmony to the world thru music...they are the best of the best.
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 art.
Stunning in tears xx
Beyond the words!
No shit sherlock, but also, yeah
03:18 Goosebumps & chills everywhere!!
Bono can Sing!! He is an legend!!!
Goosebumps? Tears here lol. This song rips my heart out
3:01....that chord change still gives me goosebumps.
Very emotional song Imagine losing someone you love it just aint easy to get over 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!
😢
His voice is absolutely phenomenal. Truly amazing, the lyrics would make puppies faint.
love u forever Dad!
This song helped me through a lot of stuff in my life & still does
Me too, calms my soul
i hear ya mate.
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.
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. ☮️
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...
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
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 🕊️🕊️🙏🕊️
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 🌏⚡🌏
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.
Show!!! Melhor banda do mundo 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
Sad :'( I'm always cry listening this song
Don't cry be happy
Hes the reason!
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!💜
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.
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.
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.
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
Uma das melhores músicas de todos os tempos!!!!!!!!!!!
You are the reason why the opera is in me❤❤❤❤❤
Always think of my dad when I hear this. Rip Albert.
This song is from the heart .... musically and lyrically a classic!
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!
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.
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

This song is amazing, it always makes me cry...♥
I will take care of you baby
It breaks me apart every single time.
The best Band of the planet
The U2 song i love the most🙏✨✨
Alguém do Brasil 🇧🇷 ouvindo essa belíssima canção em julho de 2019, Pütz esse é o cara sensacional. De um like aqui? 👍♥️
MARAVILHOSO
Sensacional
Música sensacional demais!!! Não sei se conhecem, mas tem uma versão dela na voz do Guilherme de Sá que ficou incrível também!!!
Final de dezembro de 2019... Canção maravilhosa!!!
Ouvindo em plena pandemia
Miss U Dad 😞💔
same here
Sorry bro. The pain never goes away.
I just wish I could talk to him one more time... Ich vermisse dich Papa. 🌟💞
My father died 10 months ago. One day I met him again in a dream. He hugged me strong, then he said: "magic exists". And that's why I am here now. That was my better moment with my father, and he didn't have to be alive to make me feel loved.
He was the best dad in world. I really wish new kids could have a father like him. This world could be better so.
Juan Diego Córdoba González mine did too, the pain is so strange,a pain we live with
Those words.... 💖
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.
To a person that thought he was always right... A person who was like me... Who is still the reason the opera is in me...
I adore U2 bono you are the man!!
They don’t make such terrific music & rock bands like U2 anymore!!
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
❤️
Love U2 really good band 🤘♥️🔥😎
This is such a pretty beautiful song with lots of meaningful words in it to listen to from the 90s 🎵
2004 actually
32 years ago my father died...but he is still here with me. And this song lets me think of him. Great Bono.
This is music!
Essa música é linda. Bono é um poeta.
my favorite rock band!
"dont leave me here alone",.....beautiful, u2 are the beating of the heart inside every broken hearted person on this earth
"Youre the reason why the opera is in me" ..I miss you ma'..🌹💔🌹💔🌹💔🌹💔
This is one of the most beautiful songs of this World. It's amazing, brilliant, perfect.
This and Moment of Surrender are the only songs to ever make me cry...cheers U2 !!
That Voice!!! I NEVER get tired of hearing it!
tears every time.. amazing!!!
The most beautiful voice on planet earth! 🌟
3:17 every single time I listen to this part I get goosebumps and my eyes go watery. Just amazing the way Bono puts feeling in this part, and how the musical arrangement boosts it, and the crowd recognizes it. Love U2 so much.
Loved that I stubbled upon this one today.. thinking of my Dad and want to hug my Mom right now!! TG for U2!!💜✌️
They seem to have a song that fits for every time in life.
U2 e somente o U2 entre todas as bandas, tem a capacidade de me fazer refletir sobre minhas relações, e melhora-las. Quando tarde da noite ouço essas canções e converso com Deus, tenho a vontade e a coragem de seguir em frente. Porque as vezes não consigo por conta própria.
Deus abençoe você Amigo falou td!!🙏🙏
Também gosto e ouço muito U2. Mas somente o Cristo de Deus pode lhe dar a verdadeira vida, porque ele mesmo disse: "Porque Deus amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu Filho unigênito, para que todo o que nele crê não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna.
" João 3:16
I can’t read (understand your written words), but I can FEEL they are beautiful words for all of the world to feel and understand!
Muito profundo!
@@wilmarcandidofaustino5973 talvez não seja no sentido da religião.
Great song. Right up there with 'With or without you' & 'All I want is you'.
La mejor banda europea de los últimos 30 años
Un estilo unico e inigualable
Diferente a todas las bandas
Came here this late restless night with a lot of sadness uncertainty on my mind and within my spirit with my dad deeply also on my mind... I miss you papa it’s been nearly 17 years and there is not a day that goes by I don’t think of you.💔🥀😢 Thank you U2/Bono forever and always for this heart touching anthem.☝🏾💕
Con questa scende sempre qualche lacrima.
Bono sei la mia vita.
U2 is genius. This song is beautiful. Gives me chills every time.
I'm blown away that this is the first thread that I don't see a bunch of people screaming at eachother. And whoever said "sometimes you can't BAKE it on your own...LOL!!!!!!
God bless all of you that are hurting.
If u r a son, who having lots of disagreements, fights, and somekind of love hate with your dad. But actually you’re just like him, and he doesn’t want those negativity he has been doing repeated on you. So he was just like that mean but you still hate but love him somuch. Everytime u’ll sing this song if you experience that.. you’ll be smiling, having somekind of anger, lots of emotion, and some tears rushing. It hit me everytime when i listen to this song.
It makes us cry because we can totally relate to the part about trying to impress our parents no matter what and we can't always get through to them, but at the end we still love them. And that's what we have left. We love and miss them no matter what. We get it into perspective when they pass.
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
I don't know why, but this song always brings tears to my eyes. ❤️😢
It's self- exclamatory, the lyrics got me deep inside of me and this band is the best of the best. I love all their songs, thank you U2.
Perfect live version...just amazing!!
Escuchaba otras canciones de otros grupos ovio ochenteros. Pero debo aclarar que soy fanática de U2. Mientras escuchaba el estilo new wave, entre ellos justo estaba está canción, a pesar que lo escuche miles de veces es como si lo escuchará por primera vez, un amor a primera vista es eterno. Es algo eterno como lo es U2 y el amor
o U2 que me apaixono toda vez que escuto...lembra do meu avô...saudades dele!
One of my favourites
One of U2's best tracks, and that's no small feat. One night while thinking about everything I listened to this song for hours and hours.
"A house doesn't make a home. I never meant to be so alone..."
Great lyrics & song..
wow every time i watch them live i get chills
absolutly amazing
I love this song and the connection between father and son....can be hard and rewarding experience.
Such a special song. It will eternally remind me of my old man.
U2 is amazing,iconical band of rock

Love love love this song. U2 is still one of my all time favorite bands.
Hay un abismo entre vertigo y sus albums anteriores, hay madurez, hay sentimientos, es bono en su mejor versión, no hay un tema malo, es todo crema, y esta es la obra maestra, te parte el alma en dos. Enorme Tema para la posteridad.
So Melodies No Matter how many times I hear it!!
sometimes... PERFECT!!!
beautiful,emotional song+Bono's voice=U2 at their best!!!love it...
TOTALLY AWESOME!!! My all time favorite band. I get goose bumps when I hear this song ( do on most there songs). Just plain AWESOME!!!
Feliz dia dos pais/Happy father's day...
Still got to let you know.....
A house doesn't make a home.....
Don't leave me here alone .
The best lyrics from this song
Who put this comment on ?
Przy takiej muzyce....da się żyć...!!😍😍😍😍
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.
Linda música !!
