The bass sound is what ruined this album for me I like this album better then the one before it but the bass mix causes me headache and is the same on every song. Adam's choice ruined this album for me I cant physically listen to it though im a huge fan and like the album. He ruined it
This whole album was super underrated and way better than Innocence and Experience IMO. This song is classic U2. A super catchy Edge riff, funky melody, and meaningful lyrics/messaging.
+Frankincensed that's right. the OLD masters. U2 definitely falls within the category of OLD masters. they are OLD and they are most definitely MASTERS.
@@elotroladodelarealidadjr8470it never flopped. In the UK it was the fastest selling album in 2009 and sold more than Madonna's Hard Candy out at the same time
I still love this track and it sounds more crisper than I remember it. The album's about 7/10, but this, magnificent and a couple of others are top notch.
william tilton people of this millennium don't respect them as much as they should. They don't know just how spectacular they are and they don't know good music because they are just listening to Justin beiber or dubstep.
The most original and experimental song U2 created. The struture and tonal shifts are absolutely insane... psychedelic masterpiece. For me one of their best songs.
@@chlou1662 lol. no they didn't, what exactly makes it original is how a similar riff can sound completely different, those two songs couldn't be more different, you hear a riff, but not the sound, and that is what makes it so original and experimental. "Let me in the sound, Let me in the sound".
I agree with you. I keep mentioning spotify in most my replies here on youtube, listening on spotify adds towards sales, this album deserves least 10 million sales, so all keep streaming and listening on here, on this official u2 page 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Well, actually, it was the most popular song on the album! Check the Wikipedia charts for the song! It definitely wasn't underrated, just unappreciated by the U2 fanbase :(. It certainly deserved the fame it got though!
I 100% agree with Brian Eno that Moment of Surrender should've been the first single. An epic soulful song would bring a strong statement, getting away from the standards of "Vertigo", which in my view they tried to replicate with Boots.
Bob Dylan came up to Elvis Costello at an event and said to to him '”U2! How could they do that to you? How could they take your song like that?” It took Costello a couple of minutes to realize Dylan was talking about this song, which has parts derived from Costello’s “Pump It Up”. But Dylan was also taking a jab at Costello, because “Pump It Up” was derived from Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues”. Costello then pointed out that Dylan’s masterpiece (and all three of the above songs) were derived in part from Chuck Berry’s “Too Much Monkey Business".
Old Fans like U2's older material New Fans like U2's newer material True Fans like everything U2 puts out, no matter what. I'm a true fan and always will be.
@@renzokukenleneyoyo522 100 percent agree. Even "true fans" don't have to applaud every time Bono and Edge light a wet, stinky fart into a mic, as they did here.
first song I heard from U2, since then I became a fan, there won't ever be another band as famous as U2, they are almost as famous as The Beatles were back then
Love this song and acdc. I remember when it first came out. I was late to school because I wanted to watch it. The teacher didn't even give me a tardy. He said good now sit.
Reminds me of freshman year of high school... But anyway, I actually really like this song. Sure, the lyrics may have needed some work, but this song isn't horrible. I would rock out to this song on my guitar after I got done with my homework.
If you like this, try Elvis Costello's Pump It Up. This pretty much copies it lol. He didn't care though haha. The same as Bob Dylan didn't care that Costello basically copied Subterranean Homesick Blues.
People trash on the song because U2 said that the next album was going to be a big departure from the last so when this came out fans were annoyed with how similar it sounded to vertigo. I personally love this song its a fun pump up anthem all though I don’t think it compares to vertigo, elevation, or discotheque.
I don't have any boots,sexy or not, so how do you expect me to put them on, huh? I love these guys! I can't believe its almost been a year since I saw them coming up on the 14th.
When i was, like, 4 years old, i was singing this song while trying to put my sock on. It was really hard to do for some reason and i just sat there for a few minutes struggling.
I never realized how great & amazing, this music video is, of course one of best music videos, of U2 career, but i still think that Magnificent, Moment Of Surrender or Breathe was a better choice as first single of NLOTH Album.
This may not be one of their best songs, but the Edge's guitar is just so powerful and energetic when my ipod is on shuffle and this song comes up, I instantly become happy and confident.
Was looking 4 Numb by U2 but love a lot of U2 tunes! Hoping the guys from U2 or fans can donate in honor of my Moms passing to any good cause. Thanks and look forward to Song from experience! !! Thanks.
I love NLOTH. It has some absolute gems. Not sure this is one of them. Feel the same about Songs of Experience. It is such a great album but “You’re the Best Thing” as the lead single?
U don't know how...beautiful... U don't know hooow beautifuuul you aree (You don't know...you don't get)... You don't know how beautiful youuuu areeeee (8)
Get On Your Boots by U2 is musically edgy and refreshing to listen to. The cherry imagery and the colorful models featured in the music video add to the spice and intriguing scandal music energy.
U2, a band of heart and soul, Their music speaks to us, makes us whole. From Dublin, Ireland they hail, Their message, their mission, never stale. Bono's voice, a powerful force, The Edge's guitar, its own source. Adam and Larry hold the beat, Together, they create a heavenly feat. Their songs, they tell a story, Of love, loss, and glory. With lyrics that cut deep, Their music is something to keep. "Sunday Bloody Sunday," a cry for peace, "One," a reminder, we're all in this lease. "Pride (In the Name of Love)," a tribute to MLK, Their songs inspire us to seek a better way. Through the years, they've evolved, Their sound, their style, always involved. But what never changes, their passion, For music, for justice, for compassion. So here's to U2, a band of heart and soul, Their music, a gift that never grows old. They've left their mark on history, And for that, we're eternally grateful, you see
I love that they were trying something different. The fast tempo. The strange, dissonant chorus. The trip-hop cut-time section. Very daring and original song!
Unfortunately it's lost on some of their traditional fans but yeah as a big fan it to me is just another decent song from a very special band.
@@nickkabbabe1953 Yeah, agreed.
“Trip hop”? And “original”?
Mmm... yeah, no.
@@JackPeloquin are there a lot of other fast-tempo rock songs that have a trip-hop cut-time section?
That's NLOTH in a nutshell, he best U2 album since POP IMO. Sadly, it didn't sell well so they went back to making monotonous pop songs.
LYRICS ...
The future needs a big kiss
Winds blows with a twist
Never seen a moon like this
Can you see it too?
Night is falling everywhere
Rockets at the fun fair
Satan loves a bomb scare
But he won’t scare you
Hey, sexy boots
Get on your boots, yeah
You free me from the dark dream
Candy floss ice cream
All our kids are screaming
But the ghosts aren’t real
Here’s where we gotta be
Love and community
Laughter is eternity
If joy is real
You don’t know how beautiful
You don’t know how beautiful you are
You don’t know, and you don’t get it, do you?
You don’t know how beautiful you are
That’s someone’s stuff they’re blowing up
We’re into growing up
Women of the future
Hold the big revelations
I got a submarine
You got gasoline
I don’t want to talk about wars between nations
Not right now
Hey sexy boots
Get on your boots, yeah
Not right now
Bossy boots
You don’t know how beautiful
You don’t know how beautiful you are
You don’t know, and you don’t get it, do you?
You don’t know how beautiful you are
Hey sexy boots
I don’t want to talk about the wars between the nations
Sexy boots, yeah
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Meet me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, now
God, I’m going down
I don’t wanna drown now
Meet me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Meet me in the sound
Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Yeah hey hey
Thank you
Ok great
Cheers to you , that took a long time , or else you copy and pasted it
Really cool bass line!
The bass sound is what ruined this album for me I like this album better then the one before it but the bass mix causes me headache and is the same on every song. Adam's choice ruined this album for me I cant physically listen to it though im a huge fan and like the album. He ruined it
Agreed. Grabbed me right away. I had to sit down and figure it out....
Magnificent could have done with a louder bass
This whole album was super underrated and way better than Innocence and Experience IMO. This song is classic U2. A super catchy Edge riff, funky melody, and meaningful lyrics/messaging.
Just another great, catchy song by the masters. No one knows how to write songs these days, except for the old masters.
+Frankincensed that's right. the OLD masters. U2 definitely falls within the category of OLD masters. they are OLD and they are most definitely MASTERS.
Really? Because this is genuinely a terrible song.
Man, this still rocks even after forgetting it existed..
U2 even making a flop album still when they tour is another story
It's f*cking awful
It's a terrible song, still I come back to it from time to time.

My 2009 Pop Song of the Year. U2 was exiting the 2000s kicking and screaming with this top 40 smash!
I still love this track and it sounds more crisper than I remember it. The album's about 7/10, but this, magnificent and a couple of others are top notch.
17 Years old and its been my favorite album for the last 7 years!
these guys are a gift...I remember the beatles,in 64'...the edge of the sound...these guys have that ...many thanks U2VEVO &you tube
william tilton finally someone who understands my view on them
william tilton people of this millennium don't respect them as much as they should. They don't know just how spectacular they are and they don't know good music because they are just listening to Justin beiber or dubstep.
@@eringm907they don't respect them because they don't deserve much respect
The most original and experimental song U2 created. The struture and tonal shifts are absolutely insane... psychedelic masterpiece. For me one of their best songs.
They stole it from Elvis Costello
An the most difficult baseline, for u2 EVER. LOL

@@chlou1662not really. There's only 8 chords in music
This one took a few spins to get into, but once you lock into the groove, it's a pretty damn good rock song!!! Never doubt U2.
👍
Same. It’s different . Once you lock in..I play it like every day lately.
Their most underrated. Should have rocked the charts!
I agree with you. I keep mentioning spotify in most my replies here on youtube, listening on spotify adds towards sales, this album deserves least 10 million sales, so all keep streaming and listening on here, on this official u2 page 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Lol - nope. They have moved too far away from their original fan base.
Numéro six en France mais je ne comprends pas le rejet de magnificent ?!? Vive l'Irlande et U2 forever
Well, actually, it was the most popular song on the album! Check the Wikipedia charts for the song! It definitely wasn't underrated, just unappreciated by the U2 fanbase :(. It certainly deserved the fame it got though!
It s a shitty song. And I love U2. But...
This song ages well
It’s far worse than I remember. It destroyed their career. They haven’t charted since they released this garbage
I 100% agree with Brian Eno that Moment of Surrender should've been the first single. An epic soulful song would bring a strong statement, getting away from the standards of "Vertigo", which in my view they tried to replicate with Boots.
That'd be a brave single since it's slower and at 7 minutes.
d
Should of Magnificent, MOS, Breathe... in that order.
I don't like Breathe. Crazy should have come out after mos as they are in my top 10 favourite U2 songs.
I prefer Boots to Vertigo.
I love this song!!! It is so freaking fun to sing to. I LOVE U2!!!!!! GREATEST BAND EVERY!!!

That's q quote of you " no one cares" I say it sometimes but I guess it's really nothing jjst upload
the bass of this song is great
The Future Needs a Big Kiss ❤️
U2’s most underrated song. This is up there with their best.
The thing is U2 are so good that you can say that about most of their songs.
I love this freaking song
Totally!!! I love it!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Haha this song is horrible!
@@marvelsalguero2674 for you Buddy. But it doesn't means is a bad song. ;)
They kick ass. Period. Possibly the best band touring today. Thank God..and Ireland for U2
Nah.
Old Fans like U2's older material
New Fans like U2's newer material
True Fans like everything U2 puts out, no matter what. I'm a true fan and always will be.
Discerning fans know that even if a band that you likes issues shite you call it out to keep them accountable. This is amongst the worst U2 singles
@@renzokukenleneyoyo522 your taste bro
@@ellukitaa__6571 Yes but their point is true, which is that a "true fan" can still dislike something by whoever they are a fan of.
@@renzokukenleneyoyo522 100 percent agree. Even "true fans" don't have to applaud every time Bono and Edge light a wet, stinky fart into a mic, as they did here.
What do you think of the Songs of Surrender stuff far?
Even an obscure single by U2 out tops any other modern pop/rock band today.
I remember I was seven and this was my favorite song. Brings back the memories.
Alexander Merryman Mine too! (at least in the top 10)
I was seven when Beautiful Day came out
Who is listening 2024 !
🍀🍀🍀🍀🌵🌵Tucson.

Everyone with a great taste in music of course! ;-)

It's sounds like an queens of the stone age's song. Nice
Hell no : it does not
Agree
@@XenoLifeHuge QOTSA fan here, the guy has a point to be fair lol
Finally, I was waiting since the first remastered videos, I like the video and the song, totally underrated.
Still brilliant after all these years!!!
This song gets waaaay too much shit. Very underrated, great hard rock track
I remember when I had my first cellphone, the motorocker with the full U2 album. :'3
Curti de mais quando passava em quase todos os dias na MTV Brasil à doze anos atrás.
Great to see Adam Clayton's journey as a bassist - he's playing really relaxed, using his fingers. Killing it!
a GREAT song . back and loving u2 after all these years. well done guys and God bless
Oh man, takes me back to high school. Loved 2009
This is like a crossover between Vertigo and Discothèque. The lyrics may not be great, but the tune actually works in live performances.
I can’t agree
The lyrics of these songs are also great.
First time I'd really heard U2 was at their 360 show in Milan and this song really hit me. What a show!
Am I the only one who kind of likes this song?
+Christian Burks Nope.
I really like this song, actually.
+Christian Burks i think i do too
+Christian Burks Yes.
I love it
I love this song. I was pregnant when this was released, too. Good celebratory memories.

acdc and rem and bon jovi and iron maiden are bigger and better.
@@paulbradley705 Lol AcDc the one band which never took risks
Metallica may be better
Love this song and acdc. I remember when it first came out. I was late to school because I wanted to watch it. The teacher didn't even give me a tardy. He said good now sit.
Reminds me of freshman year of high school... But anyway, I actually really like this song. Sure, the lyrics may have needed some work, but this song isn't horrible. I would rock out to this song on my guitar after I got done with my homework.
U2 the early years, music with a message, we are the passengers, ICON!!1
OMG! I feel so old... This album has turned 10 YEARS.
Saw them in St. Louis. 7th time. Best yet. They are the ultimate.
Can’t say I’m the biggest fan of this song but it has such a neat music video
God U2 always changes there style a music with a few tweeks every decade just right to mach the music at that time and catch everyone's ears.
One word to describe this song and video: COOL!
"Laughter is eternity if joy is real"... Sooo TRUE!! Love you U2!!!!!
I never got how people trash on this song. It's amazing
Loved this song since I first heard it as a kid, recently rediscovered it but it's making me realise how weak the guitar and bass tones are D:
If you like this, try Elvis Costello's Pump It Up. This pretty much copies it lol. He didn't care though haha. The same as Bob Dylan didn't care that Costello basically copied Subterranean Homesick Blues.
Mistweaver lyrics and wasn't commercial success
It's a stupid song but it's fun
People trash on the song because U2 said that the next album was going to be a big departure from the last so when this came out fans were annoyed with how similar it sounded to vertigo. I personally love this song its a fun pump up anthem all though I don’t think it compares to vertigo, elevation, or discotheque.
Essa é a minha música favorita do U2.
I don't see why people would dislike this... It's such a nice song!!
Alban Pfisterer Agreed
I WAS SLEEPING WITH THE TV TURNED ON AND THIS SONG STARTED ON TV AND I WOKE UP SO FAST AND I PUT THE TV ON ALL VOLUMEEE !
Yo estuve en Vertigo en Mexico y me gane un boleto nivel cancha bueno que puedo decir es increible verlo y de tan cerca... Dios te bendiga U2
some say that why u2 allways have so few views on youtube.. well thats because u2 are the best live band and have the most awseome tour dvd !!
8th grade, this was my shit. MEMORIES.
The best song with unknown caller of albums : no line on the horizon !!!!!!!!!!!
Remastered! 👏
something simmilar happened to me, only that I heard this song about 3 years ago and a few days ago I somehow remembered having heard this song
con esta cancion los conoci en el 2009! cuando obtuve mi primer celular... que recuerdos ♥
I don't have any boots,sexy or not, so how do you expect me to put them on, huh?
I love these guys! I can't believe its almost been a year since I saw them coming up on the 14th.
Gotta love Bonobos, Thedge, Adam Claytwothousandpounds, and Larry Mullen Sr's son.

Maravilhosa!
I ♥ it!
I♥U2!
So many hidden Gems on all their records. Case on point
I almost put on my shoes... luckily, I heard this song first.
When I was like 9-10 I was convinced this was the best song to ever exist, still love this massive banger 💖
Speed drifter!!!
Another great U2 song!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u2 é a melhor banda!!
Ariel por favor veja a tradução
なんとも圧倒的なかっこよさ！曲も映像もものすごいエネルギーで迫り来る！この頃の曲もライブで聴いてみたいなぁ♪
This is art this is philosophy this is sexy this is U2
Still a rocker these many years later.
When i was, like, 4 years old, i was singing this song while trying to put my sock on. It was really hard to do for some reason and i just sat there for a few minutes struggling.
Good to see young people enjoying U2. I was 4 when they released 'Pop' in 1997, been a fan since
great tune
LOVE playing that opening riff!!!
U2 a banda mais importante do mundo
This is freaking U2 they are frequently changing it up, that's what makes them awesome, and they're still going.
I never realized how great & amazing, this music video is, of course one of best music videos, of U2 career, but i still think that Magnificent, Moment Of Surrender or Breathe was a better choice as first single of NLOTH Album.
I used to get up in the morning ..put this on get on my boot's.. Ready to Rock.. Off to work..
This may not be one of their best songs, but the Edge's guitar is just so powerful and energetic when my ipod is on shuffle and this song comes up, I instantly become happy and confident.
Was looking 4 Numb by U2 but love a lot of U2 tunes! Hoping the guys from U2 or fans can donate in honor of my Moms passing to any good cause. Thanks and look forward to Song from experience! !! Thanks.
OH GOD, THIS SONG WAS AND IS AWESOME
I love NLOTH. It has some absolute gems. Not sure this is one of them. Feel the same about Songs of Experience. It is such a great album but “You’re the Best Thing” as the lead single?
U don't know how...beautiful...

You guys are good 👍
Hey Bono. What about the fucking t-shirts bro??
U2, a band of heart and soul,
Their music speaks to us, makes us whole.
From Dublin, Ireland they hail,
Their message, their mission, never stale.
Bono's voice, a powerful force,
The Edge's guitar, its own source.
Adam and Larry hold the beat,
Together, they create a heavenly feat.
Their songs, they tell a story,
Of love, loss, and glory.
With lyrics that cut deep,
Their music is something to keep.
"Sunday Bloody Sunday," a cry for peace,
"One," a reminder, we're all in this lease.
"Pride (In the Name of Love)," a tribute to MLK,
Their songs inspire us to seek a better way.
Through the years, they've evolved,
Their sound, their style, always involved.
But what never changes, their passion,
For music, for justice, for compassion.
So here's to U2, a band of heart and soul,
Their music, a gift that never grows old.
They've left their mark on history,
And for that, we're eternally grateful, you see
👍️🌹😊 From.🇯🇵
Pump It Up!!
...Hot!....U2 after all these years still continues to excite and invigorate my soul...Thank you men.
fucking awesome song, min 0:49-1:02 just amazing!.
This song was ahead of its time. So freaking fun!
It was in the charts 15 years ago this week.
I remember when this album was free on iTunes thank you U2!!!
Wasn't that Songs of innocence that was available on iTunes for free?
